With soaring, vaulted ceilings and an open and spacious living space that spans three levels, this wonderful Sugar Mountain home is the perfect staging point for your family's next mountain adventure! Downstairs, you'll find a pleasant sitting area dressed with comfortable furniture, rustic and attractive wall art, and soft, carpeted floors, the ideal place for older kids to hang out in or for a little privacy while you get in a little last-minute work. Speaking of which, the home's high-speed internet and free WiFi will make it quick and easy for remote workers and students to get their projects completed on time. The main level living area features glossy wood floors and lots of space to move around in. You'll love entertaining guests in the living room while a riveting ballgame plays on the large flatscreen TV mounted just above the gas fireplace. The full kitchen is loaded with lots of fun things to play around with, including a center prep island, large appliances, and lots of gorgeous cookware, and your dinner guests will enjoy an elegant dining experience at the handsome dining room table with seating for eight.

After a long afternoon of hikes, the private washer and dryer will make short work of everyone's laundry while you grill up today's fresh catch on the furnished second-level deck's gas grill. Spend your evenings toasting marshmallows with the kids over the cozy firepit and enjoying a quiet evening of stargazing with glasses of wine with friends. When it's time to wrap it up for the night, everyone will have plenty of space and privacy to relax and sleep in. Off the living room, the main level bedroom enjoys a king-size bed, deck access, and an en-suite bathroom with a jetted tub and a walk-in shower. Upstairs, the first bedroom off the stairs has a king bed, as does the second bedroom, with a full bath between. All three upstairs bedrooms boast flatscreen TVs, and the loft sitting area has two comfortable reading chairs for anyone who wants to get in a little night-reading without disturbing anyone.

What's nearby:
Whenever you need to take a break from the kitchen, be sure to check out all the fantastic restaurants in the area such as Highlander’s Grill & Tavern, The Pedalin' Pig, and Valle de Bravo Mexican Grill 2.

The house was very large, beautiful and accommodating. It was clean but there were many stains on the carpet probably due to animals staying there. A hair dryer was mentioned but we didn't find one. We also did not have ice as the ice maker wasn't working. All said it was a nice place that I would recommend.

A very family and cozy place
The property is nicely decorated in a very much mountain-family-cozy style. The areas are big enough for large families spending vacations together. The firepit, table tenis, and futbolín are really great ideas. We had a lot of fun with them. The property is also well equipped in every sense, specially, the kitchen. As a suggestion, you could really make a difference with a little bit more of cleaning supplies, paper towels, etc.

Nice house- bad mattresses
The house is beautiful and very spacious for a large family but the mattresses are very hard in every room and we had a hard time sleeping. After a day skiing you are wishing for a nice comfy bed and everyone in our party complained about the bed being uncomfortable. Did not have hair dryer, there was hair in our bed sheets and bathroom shower but that's a cleaning team issue. The management was great and they responded very quickly. If they can buy some pillow tops for the mattresses, I will rent again. Stain in master bedroom carpet needs to be clean too but not a biggie for us.

4 day stay
beautiful house but had a slight problem on first entering the property. Looked like cleaner had left in a hurry and left clean a lot of items where they didn't belong. This however was not a problem for us and we were happy to put things where they belonged. I honestly feel that we left the house in great shape ( we were not bothered by cleaning it ourselves). All dishes were washed, dried and put away. We wiped down all counters, etc. The only thing we did not do was make the 2 beds we slept in because we figured they would have to be made again with clean sheets, etc. We did have a wonderful time and sincerely appreciate all you did for us.

Chemical smell
I guess the carpet was cleaned shortly before we arrived. The chemical smell was so strong that we had to open windows and leave for a few hours. This was disappointing—my wife has asthma and I easily get headaches from chemical exposure.

Sugar mountain retreat
We really enjoyed staying at this property because it had everything we wanted/needed. We had my elderly parents with us which meant we needed as little stairs as possible and this house was perfect for that! We kept them on the main floor and the driveway was very level getting into the house which is hard to find in the mountains. Our kids (12 and 8), stayed downstairs on the pull out couch and loveseat and they loved playing ping pong and foosball. The rest of us had the upstairs rooms and bathrooms for everyone were great. The main floor bathroom was a little tricky for my parents, as they couldn't adjust the removable shower head on their own and the shower door lacked proper sealing so, the water leaked out. However, this is an easy fix. There was plenty of room to spread out. The back porch was great to hang out on with a large table and chairs. Rocking chairs would be my only suggestion for the outside. The kitchen appliances were great, we could have used one more large pan for our group but, we appreciated that the pans looked new and clean! The location is perfect and the weather could not have been better. We didn't want to leave! We definitely want to stay here again in the future.

Perfect Mountain Stay
This house was perfect for our family get together. There was enough room for all of us. The location was great, close to everything. I would only mention that the fire pit area was a bit overgrown and pretty steep to get to, so be careful. There are no chairs down there either, only wooden stumps. Overall everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Wonderful Stay
Beautiful house, beautiful setting. House was very clean, beds comfortable. Plenty of linens, glasses, mugs, plates, but cookware is a letdown. Game room was great fun but the ping pong paddles definitely need to be replaced. Now for the annoyance: they advertise that every tv has Netflix. Not true as...the biggest annoyance, no internet. When you are traveling with two college students that had coursework due, panic time with no internet in this day and age. We called and were told maintenance would be there to check. Next day the very nice fellows arrived, tried everything including a new router. Nothing. The bottom line was they recently upgraded to higher speed internet but something in the lines outside of the house are causing the problem. My advice is to definitely stay in this spacious home but if internet is important to you, confirm with them that it is, in fact, working. One minor thing...you are given a code for the lockbox. BUT there are two lock boxes! One where there is a bike lock hanging and was the first one we saw. We tried it several times but no luck. We tried the keypad on the door. No luck. As we turned to go for our cell phone to call we spied another lockbox. Success! Why two lock boxes 20’ apart? At least say “the lockbox closest to the front door.”
