Not a good stay

Getting into the unit was very challenging as the door code did not work and the instructions did not give the key code for the key box so we waited an hour for someone to come to get us in. The porch was so dirty as were the seat cushions. The internet was incredibly slow and no local channels to watch college football.

Nice short stay

It was a convenient accommodation to visit Land of Oz. If you don’t mind an old building to stay in for a short weekend, it is a good place to stay. It wasn’t thoroughly cleaned, the utensils had food residue, the microwave needed wiping from food spatter, coffee stains in the utensil drawer, some dust on top of the coffee maker and toaster. Some beer top found under the bed, spider web in the corner of the room found. Crumbs across the corner of the kitchen floors were noted too as soon as we arrived. I just wiped and washed everything before use. Otherwise it’s an okay place to stay in for a quick trip. Dishwashing liquid/sponge, soap bar and towels were provided. Convenient location. Good sized fridge.

Long weekend

Over all, it was ok. However, they could do a much better job at cleaning. There were cobwebs all over the house, the dishes in the cabinets were dirty, utensils were sparse and broken. If they have a cleaning service cleaning the property, they should find new ones. It wasn't super horrible but they could do better. Overall, we enjoyed the stay but the cleanliness or lack of, we would not stay again.

Cozy & Quiet

We stayed hear during the off season, late summer. It was so peaceful and quiet. The place had an old smell, however a candle was provided, which was a nice touch. The stove was very old the push button type which was fine but the biggest burner did not work. The water pressure in the shower was amazing but the hot water did not last for my entire shower and the shower head was a little low, fine for me at 5'6 but not so good for my husband who is 6'4. With that being said I would stay here again.

Disappointed and not as described

The master bedroom had water stains and ceiling falling down. I have pictures. The property was very dated(specifically the bathroom). I would never rent this place again until updated.

Cute Place, Bad Bed

The place was small but cute - perfect for 2 people. The carpet and linens were pretty worn, and the mattress so hard we couldnt sleep on it after the first night. We got an air mattress and slept on it in the living room. Also, sharp tacks sticking out on the edge of living room carpet punctured my bare feet. The bed could be fixed with a $300 mattress. The other stuff is pretty cheap to replace as well. Could be a really nice hideaway

Dirty ski home

The bathroom was dirty and had bugs in it. Cobwebs all over home. Carpet was filthy and carpet nails from carpet just being laid in place kept sticking our feet and had to wear our shoes all the time. Plating coming off kitchen faucet cold water handle and cut my husband. Bed hard as if we slept on floor. Space had a horrid smell and all blankets smelled unclean also. The home would be a great space if properly taken care of by management or owners.

Nasty bathroom

They location was great but the bathroom had mold on walls and a LOT of hair on top of bath tub drain. I noticed the hair when I turned on bathtub water.it was so bad, water drained extremely slow. It had obviously not been cleaned. Dirty floors in livingroom and kitchen. I have pictures but I do not know where to post them. Not worth $152 for a Wednesday night especially.

Perfect for a ski weekend

Briarcliff was perfect for a one night stay to ski at Sugar Mountain. The unit is small but is all you need when you’re going to be out on the mountain. Looks out over the slopes, but would be a decent walk with snow boots and equipment (we drove). Overall what we were looking for.

Nice weekend getaway

Briarcliff is a perfect no-frills getaway for a mountain weekend. Unit is nice and easy to check in to. Only complaints would be that while it is technically walking distance from the resort, it’s a bit of a hike if you’re carrying equipment. Also, the pull out couch was pretty uncomfortable, but that’s usually how it goes. Overall got the job done.
