Cute little condo near sugar mountain

The condo was nice and clean. It was close to the resort, but I wouldn't say it was close enough to walk with all your gear. My only complaint is the couch is the most uncomfortable couch I've ever laid down on. Other than that everything was nice. The loft area is really neat. If you have kids they would love it.

Poor wi-Fi

While the condo is comfortable and clean and had everything needed to cook meals, I needed to be able to work and the WiFi router is old and had to be constantly reset (and still had terrible connection). This is a known issue per other reviews. Cannot recommend this condo to anyone who requires Wi-Fi as it is not available. I had to use a hotspot on my phone which is also not great on busy weekends at Sugar where the towers are overwhelmed with traffic.

Wonderful unit, perfect for a small family in an ideal location!

From the moment we arrived I knew we hit the jackpot with this condo! The condo was cleaned to perfection from floor to ceiling. The carpets looked to be almost brand new. Housekeeping definitely prepared for our arrival! The condo was just the right amount of space for our family of 3. Our 10 year old daughter loved the loft area. The fun steps up and the two beds in the loft gave it a feel of a tree house or playhouse which she loved. But because it was a loft with a small opening looking down into the living room we could still converse and feel together while she was hanging out up there. The living room was well appointed and the fireplace was an added perk during the cold winter evenings. The kitchen had everything we needed to make homemade snow cream, hot chocolate and chilli after a long day of skiing. The location was absolutely perfect! Once we parked our car it didn't move! The first day we walked down to the overflow parking lot which was literally a stone's throw away to catch the bus to the lodge but quickly realized we could have just walked to the lodge! The tubing and Ice Skating areas were even closer! We knew we 100% lucked out as we casually walked by the gridlocked traffic and overflow lots closed due to being at capacity the entire weekend. We were able to leave our ski equipment at the lodge and could easily go back and forth throughout the day. Sugar mountain was great! Definitely be sure to plan on standing in line for activities as there is no online purchasing available and tickets go on sale an hour before the activity. I would suggest getting online even earlier if you want to be guaranteed a spot for tubing or ice skating. All in all it was an amazing trip and we are already looking forward to our ski trip next year! A huge thank you to Sam and to Susan for their assistance with our late checkout!

Overall good, but with some surprises.

Cozy aka small condo was overall nice. The downsides that I think other renters should be aware of are: •Two short flights of stairs (in a "switch back" configuration) that made carrying in luggage a challenge. Also the interior stairs up to the "loft" area are extremely steep and have very small steps. I would guarantee that most elderly/large/tall people would not be able climb them. Even having kids going up and down those stairs would concern me. Also the condo has oddly angled walls in the kitchen (half the galley kitchen is "cut" in half with a 45 degree wall) and in the main bedroom. When entering on one side of the bed, you have to duck if you are over 5'-9" . The condo is located in a nice mountain neighborhood and even has a stream far below the small but usable balcony. We enjoyed our stay until the last night when confronted with two cockroaches in the kitchen which kinda freaked the wife out when sleeping that night. Overall for two adults, this property was nice and made for a decent stay and we would rent it again after some pest control (wife says maybe).

Clean and convenient

The unit was clean and only about a quarter of a mile from the slopes. It had a wood burning fireplace which is nice. It was fine for a quick trip.

Nice place

Nice place for a little getaway and great location to the slopes/lodge. Perfect for a small family. Loved the fireplace. Unfortunately the Wi-Fi and cable didn’t work during our stay. Overall, great and would stay there again.

Clean and cozy

Very clean, well-stocked and cozy apartment. A short walk from the slopes. If there were a washer/ dryer available, then it would have become my first choice ski-stop. Only minor complaint: internet is too slow to be usable, even for just reading the news (I did restart the router). I gave up and just used my cellular data.

Holiday Stay

Very close to Sugar Mountain slopes. The property is a bit smaller than advertised or the pictures show and a bit more dated. What was most frustrating was the lack of kitchen elements: towels for drying dishes; tea kettle

Really enjoyed our stay. Loved the sound of the water running down the hillside and the fireplace. Kitchen well equipped. Bathroom had soap, shampoo, conditioner. The couch has one side/cushion that is broken down, making it uncomfortable to sit on. If there was a DVD player it was not obvious. :( The ceiling fan hasn’t been cleaned in awhile, I was afraid to turn it on. Too much furniture for the space. WiFi drops multiple times an hour No trash bags Chocolate gunk in oven drawer (not us)

This is our 3rd time staying at this condo. We love it! It is dog friendly and our 11 year old son sleeps great in the loft. It is so close to Sugar, that we always walk to the slopes.

Amazing location

We loved the convenience of this condo. It cozy and the access to the sky resort is perfect. The only thing that I would say about this location is that it had a very strong pet smell that lingered around and pet hair in places. The listing does say pet friendly but the smell was a little unfriendly. Beside that we absolutely loved our stay.
