During a week long, extended family vacation at a large, streamside Vail rental house, dad chose to…read moreretain Double Diamond chefs to prepare three dinners for our extended family of 20 -- primarily to give my mom -- grandma -- a break from her usual desire to be in the kitchen. As a foodservice consultant, I have to admit being a little concerned about what to expect from this dad-hired catering company -- especially when I knew nothing about them. Catering experiences can vary greatly. What we experienced, from Adam Weinberger and his Double Diamond crew, were three great nights of well-prepared foods, served at the right termperature, plated thoughtfully, timed perfectly for the pace of each evening - and then cleaned up even to the extent of sanitizing our counters. Owner/Chef Adam's passion for what they do comes through in the variety of foods they prepared -- and in his and his fiance's (darn, I forgot her name) ability to work in the background of our family gathering, preparing menu items that demonstrated a real foodie focus. From the appetizers to the desserts -- wow...simply well done. High marks to the Double Diamond team. Three excellent dinners. Variety and service. Everything good. Would be completely comfortable working with this group, again.

We hired Red Maple Catering for a welcome reception the day before our daughter's destination…read morewedding and were extremely disappointed with our experience. While the service and staff was courteous and professional, the quantity of the food was very far below our expectations. We had agreed upon a menu consisting of three appetizers and two stations, yet on the day of the event we were served five appetizers instead. This created an extremely embarrassing situation for us as hosts, as the food ran out far too quickly and guests left unsatisfied. Given the cost, the reputation of the company, and the careful planning that went into our event, this outcome was deeply disappointing. We definitely do not recommend this caterer based on our experience.

Red Maple Catering was hired to cater a welcome reception for our family's destination wedding in…read moreBeaver Creek, Colorado. All of our guests were from out of town, and many were arriving the day of the welcome reception. Therefore, we carefully planned the reception to assure that our guests were well taken care of and more importantly well fed. Despite careful planning over several conversations/meetings with Red Maple Catering, we were left very dissatisfied with this caterer's end product. The quantity of food provided by Red Maple given the rather high cost of the catering was nowhere near our expectations. As one of the event hosts, I was only able to try 2 different appetizers (1 piece of each) the entire evening. Many of our guests subsequently told us they had to leave the reception early "to eat" and we ended up having to order multiple boxes of pizza for those guests that were able to stay at the reception. Needless to say, this was extremely embarrassing for us and the other reception event hosts. Again, given the rather high cost of the catered event (even for Beaver Creek) we definitely did not get our money's worth at all. Overall, our experience was extremely disappointing, and we would not recommend this caterer to anyone looking to host an event.

The website doesn't do it justice…read more The amenities seemed very limited on the site but they have a hairdryer you can use (I brought mine thinking it wasn't available), they will provide towels for the jacuzzi, there is a microwave and fridge in the room. A private bathroom in the room and a small kitchenette. We asked about the rooms when we got there. The site was confusing. We thought it was a shared bathroom for everyone. That's not the case. Most rooms have their own bathroom. The staff is very personable and helpful for local tips. The breakfast was very good. They cook a hot breakfast to order. Our first morning there, we had a hiccup and I think we were forgotten about after we ordered food. We waited an hour and finally left. We were so late getting on the mountain. We didn't get our first run til 11. Other than that one issue, everything has been great and the breakfast the following two mornings came out within mins. I think it was an honest mistake but we all just brushed it off. Thank you, Claire for your hospitality. You made our home away from home very comfortable. I had to write a review. This was so worth it. I looked at the reviews before we came to see how the beds are. The mattress is comfortable in the room we had. I didn't wake up feeling like I was hit by a bus. They have an entire dvd collection that we put to good use. The town is very cute and great food locally. There is a bus that will shuttle you to copper and breck. The hot tub fits about 6 in there. Very nice to have after a day of boarding. Thank you Frisco Lodge. We will definitely be bs

Our room had a shared bath with 4 other rooms. But we never ran into a problem. There were 2 bathrooms for 8 rooms upstairs. A few also had their own en suite. The room was well appointed, the hosts were delightful and full of recommendations for the village. The courtyard is adorable but it was a bit too chilly to spend much time there. Walking distance to everything in the village. And breakfast was SO good. They went out of their way to offer vegan and gluten free options which was so kind. Even had handmade lattes and barista drinks by request. All included!

Alex and Lindsey were professionals and extra warm and friendly, it felt like your closest friends were preparing the food for you. And they do the dishes too!
