Great Location, a few issues
Enjoyed the property. Love the location and the view! We had some issues with the heating system that could have been a bigger issue than it was. The property management team was considerate about the issue but couldn't resolve it prior to our departure. Probably won't stay again. Furnishings are nice and the best of the locations we've stayed at Sugar.

everything we could have wanted!
On a previous trip to sugar, we saw these homes on the ski slope and I was so happy to be able to book one of them. Super convenient for us - walk out the back door and ski down - voila! There was a lack of snow this year but that is no one's fault (in years past there was plenty of snow and it was freezing). Roads up the mountain are very narrow and windy and parking is limited (hard to turn large suv around) but that is the mountain. House had absolutely everything we needed to cook in a couple nights (local restaurants super busy and hard to get in). Beds were comfortable and nice linens. We felt like we were at home here. Perfect setup for my family of 4 plus my parents who met us there. Look forward to renting this place again next year! My parents don't ski but they enjoyed sightseeing when we skiied and then we all did Ice Skating together, meals, etc. View from the ktichen/living room was so nice while we ate meals and relaxed. The floor was durable and plenty of mats to put boots and shoes on which was great (have stayed other places with carpet and you have to take all the shoes off outside etc.) Lots of hooks to hang clothes and towels on - really well planned out. Had a few questions here and there and PM got right back to us. Highly recommend. Nice and modern and clean!

Very Nice
This rental was very clean and in the perfect location! We enjoyed just sitting in the living room watching our kids snowboard along with all the other people skiing and snowboarding. The home looks exactly like the pictures and was just what we expected. Very comfortable for a family of 5!

Great location and place to enjoy
The property is very good, extremely clean and very comfortable for all our family. Just unfortunate that the Ski Resort is not doing snow and it is just sad to see everything so empty all around. Will surely return as the property is excellent! Hopefully with some snow in the future.

Great Property
Our kids go to Sugar Mountain snow boarding every year, we booked this property because of its location. it is clean and cozy, convenient to everything we need for the ski trip. Besides watching our own kids we really enjoyed watching other people going down the slope! The only few minor things we struggled with was working with the thermostat (keeps on stop heating in bedrooms), not to have big enough of pans to cook for 8 People, and we only had pillows and bed covers for 6 - but the management was very nice and responded as soon as we called the next morning. The overall experience was good, and we will consider to stay at the property again in next winter!
