Decent stay

We had a good stay overall. I will say that the cabin needs a few updates. The carpet is stained and needs to be replaced. The couch also needs to be updated. Also, it was very cold when we went and the beds had very thin linens on them. So bring extra blankets! Also, if you’re going in the winter, the steps leading up to the cabin are pretty dangerous. They get completely iced over and are extremely slippery. We slipped and fell several times. But this cabin is in a great location. You have a great view of the slopes and can walk right over and ski down the hill. It was a decent stay but will probably look for something a little more updated next time.

Fun Slopeside Stay - But what’s with the microwave?

Really fun budget-friendly stay for a spring break slopeside. Plentiful blankets and pillows, fun decor, great slope access and views, nice mudroom and cozy spaces. Only complaint: The microwave is struggling.

Cute cottage in the mountains.

The listing accurately describes this small ski lodge. The ski slope is right across from the lodge. The space is tight, but it met our needs. The beds were comfortable. A very neat design. We enjoyed the stay.

Nice view, convenient location for young agile skiers

Pros: Walking distance to slopes; beautiful view of slopes outside living room windows; cozy atmosphere in cabin. Cons: Getting into cabin requires strenuous walk up steep and crumbling rock stairs; spiral staircase between laundry room and main floor not easy for toddlers and senior citizens; thermostat was glitchy.

Very nice little cabin

Incredibly clean and modern in a convenientlocation. The windows gave a really open feel to the rooms and I enjoyed the abundance of natural light. The only negative was the bed was a little too firm for my liking which caused a stiff back after each night's sleep but that's my subjective opinion. This place had everything we could've wanted or needed and I would absolutely be willing to return for another stay.

Not to good

Property is dirty. Dishwasher was broken with a sign on it. There is mold in the hall/LR bath. Automatic lock did not work. Automated support line for Vacasa is bad. Finally got a real person and they were helpful. Definitely a disappointment.

Very Dirty

The view was amazing but unfortunately it smelled of must and mildew so badly we debated leaving. It was not vacuumed or cleaned. The carpet was covered in hair, crumbs and stains. I had to clean it myself just to stay one night. Would not rent this location again!

horrible experience

We did not stay at this property , when we arrived at 730pm the door keypad was not working after calling and getting lock pad cod and then entering the house to find it had not been cleaned for a long time. The beds were slept in , and bathroom linens from the last guest were in bathroom floorand etc. It had a closed up bad smell. We called in took pictures and was told they would try to get someone out to clean sometime ? We left and went and rented hotel for the night. They would not give me a full refund as promised. Would not recommend , this place is run down and NEEDS ATEENTION .

Dirty, Dirty Unit

Weekend plans wrecked by filthy unit that was never cleaned. Ended up having to drive to Blowing Rock to stay in a clean motel. Avoid Vacasa managed properties like this one at all costs— no one on-site to assist or provide us timeframe for resolution. Renter beware.

Was not very happy! There are quite a few suggestions that should be addressed.

We did not like there were no fans in the rooms, no trash cans in the rooms, we had to take our own trash down. On the day we left the area of where to take the trash was closed. So , we had to bring it home with us…. There needs to be lights along the steps leading to the house at night, my cousin fell and has a severe sprain. I wish I would have researched the comments better because I never would have rented there. It was not the stay I had hoped for…. Not a good cabin if you have children or older adults…

Not clean

While a lovely cabin in a great location, the cleanliness of the property made it very difficult to enjoy. It did not appear to have been vacuumed, and the corners, in particular, were covered in dirt and dead bugs. There was trash in cabinets under the sink and behind nightstands (which we moved to plug in chargers) and a layer of dust and grime on most surfaces. There was an unknown substance all over one of the shower’s walls that fell off while showering. The very visible dirt made it difficult to feel at ease. Less important, there was also no coffee (though hundreds of filters and two coffee makers) and we wished we’d known to bring our own. Overall, very disappointing and wish we’d stayed elsewhere.

VERY DISAPPOINTED ! Would not rent again!!!

The house is in dire need of cleaning and repairs. From dirty carpets to dirty appliances. The inside bottom of the oven was solid black and crusted over from burnt food. The outlet in the master bedroom is a safety hazard. One side was completely gone and while my husband was plugging in a phone charger he was shocked. It wasn’t just a light shock. The master bedroom door to the outside was unlocked whenever we arrived. We opened it from the outside. There was a liquor bottle left on the porch. We contacted management several times and sent pictures to verify all of the problems. We were compensated very little considering all the issues we had, especially being shocked by a live wire by an outlet. We hope the outlet will be repaired and no one else will be shocked. This was our first time renting through Vacasa but unfortunately it may be our last.

Its a Dirty booby trap

While this cozy, conveniently placed cabin could easily be in the running for one of my favorite places for me family and I to stay, once inside you start seeing or should I say FEELING the issues! +++From the front door- the landing and spiral staircase is a great to drop all the wet gear especially since the laundry room is connected as soon as you walk in. ++ when you walk up the spiral staircase it has a very cozy vibe. The kitchen is a little small but it was well stocked and for me my husband and four boys it was just fine. --- the wood fireplace is nice but the stone it fits on has a straight Point through the hallway and everyone of us have busted toes. Seems silly to complain about until you're trying to put on your ski boots and then feeling it all day long! -- the living room could hold us all but the two chairs that lean up against the glass will not come out far enough to where they do not hit the glass. The chairs were very sensitive and they would slam back every time. My husband said it looks like the windows are actually about to fall out. If they did break and your head was right there...well you get the point. -- my very fit 15 year old slipped while grabbing socks across the king size bed and impaled himself on the footboard. It has very sharp spikes on the headboard which kept touching my hair and on the footboard which impaled my son.

Sugar Mountain Cabin

The cabin is for up to 6 person but was just 3 sets of towels and a problem on the toilet valve that was never fixed. The access to climb to the house was super dangerous

Cute, cozy, needs a little love

The place is adorable. We loved the real wood burning stove. The walk up to the cabin from the car isn’t for the weak or elderly. But it’s beautiful. The space is tiny but three of us had enough room for a couple days. The dishes need replaced/washed better. The rug in the main bedroom is pretty gross. Disgusting stains all the way to the bathroom. The view from the main bedroom is so peaceful and beautiful I wish the windows were cleaned better so I could have enjoyed it more. Overall, we had a good stay and the cabin is sufficient. Shamp/cond/soap is supplied. Ample toilet paper for both bathrooms and kitchen supplies such as detergent and paper towels were there. Cozy, equipped but needs some love. GREAT location to everything in this area!

Spend a little extra to stay somewhere better

The pictures are not accurate, they are definitely glammed up. On arrival our cabin was "missed" with housecleaning, so when we walked in after a long day of traveling we were furious. The sheets were not changed, the floors had not been vacuumed or mopped, there was trash on the cabinets, and an unpleasant smell. The property manager was very nice and went and cleaned it himself, but it still did not sit well with me. My husband and I would have found a new place to stay with getting a refund, but there was nothing available in the area we wanted to be in.
