New Years Weekend

Great location and has everything we needed for a weekend ski vacation. Updated appliances and a full kitchen with all the essentials for cooking. The resort had an amazing fire works show and Nee Years party. Can’t wait to go back.

Great place to stay

Condo was clean, cozy & quiet. Great location, adorable unit & very comfortable beds. Especially liked the windows & natural light in living room. They gave us free early check-in. Parking was tight for our suburban but worked out fine. Cons: can opener is broken and we had only partial rolls of toilet paper in bathrooms & remnant paper towel roll in kitchen and no extras. No extra trash bags. We had to use grocery bags for kitchen trash. Great experience overall.

Has potential, but was very dirty

This place has potential, but I was very disappointed assuming how nice the photos looked. The kitchen is pretty crowded and kitchen supplies were under stocked which was easily worked around for a weekend stay. If you are going with the family or a group, take your own games because Bingo all you’ll find in the condo. My main disappointment was how dirty the house was. The kitchen and all 3 bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. We initially walled in the condo to see cigarette butts sitting on the kitchen table along with ashes and a pack of cigarettes in the trash can. The kitchen table/chairs had sticky residue on them and all appliances had nasty smear and streak marks all over them. The bathrooms were the worst, there were dark run marks down the walls, the baseboards were disgusting, and the showers had mold and mildew build up all over them. The lack of cleanliness was extremely disappointing especially after we weren’t able to check in until 4pm for the condo to be “cleaned”. Won’t be staying here again.

Great cost benefit but the place just needs a little more love and care. It was just not clean enough to the point that you would need to look into the details to notice, it was evident from dust/spider nets to dishes. Also, the spring mattress used on the beds, were too noisy… very move you do, all people could hear. Finally, just be aware of the third floor stair which is an invitation to tragedy if you don’t take care because it is a steep stair with half a foot steps with carpet, so very easy to slide and fall, so be careful if you have kids on the third floor! On the other hand, location and access are great, so although I would say a little cheaper would be more appropriate, the cost benefit is worth.

Great place in Sugar Mountain!

What we loved most about this condo was the space! We had ourselves and four kids and everyone had plenty of space to sleep. We could have even had more family members or friends stay as there was still a pullout couch and the loft upstairs that went unused. Our preteen loved that he had his own room and privacy and TV. Our only complaint was that we couldn't find the remote or know how to work the TV in the master room, but all other rooms had smart TVs. It was nice that the condo had AC in some of the rooms for the first day or two was a bit warm, and there were a few fans around as well for the rooms that didn't have AC. The weather and location were great! It was in a neighboring condo complex as where my parents lived so that was ideal for us and it was close to tennis courts, golf, trails, etc. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, just some coffee would have been nice as we got in later the first nice so we didn't pick some up yet.

Location perfect for family ski trip with kids ages 10, 8 and 7.

Extremely convenient to Sugar Mountain skiing, tubing, ice skating. Very clean and cozy. Parking a bit tight for Yukon XL, but if you park at slight angle it is no problem. Would definitely return.

Quaint!

Condo was clean and updated! A little tight in the kitchen with such a big table with the chairs but manageable. Loved the fireplace. Thought there was supposed to be a hairdryer somewhere but we couldnt locate one which made for a chilly morning with wet hair when walking outside. Parking is definitely not meant for large truck as you cant pull in and out without doing a 2-3 point turn.

Recently rebuild with fine furniture and appliances. Great location for different activities during the summer. Currently all of them operational with social distancing guidelines followed. We were missing AC, but the weather was cooperating.

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay here! There were 5 of us and plenty of room. The beds were comfy. Everything was updated and very clean! Only complaint is ice maker didn’t work, and there were construction workers downstairs smoking so when windows were open (no a/c), we would get the smell of cigarette smoke. But hopefully they will be done soon! Overall a great stay and would recommend!

Nice home

This house was exactly what we needed for our family of 9 trip. The house was clean and well taken care of. The home did not have air conditioning, which was not indicated on the listing; under heat & air it simply said thermostat. We called the number associated with the app we booked through and within a couple hours a number of box fans was delivered. There were some loud neighbors, but that was nothing that the owner of this place can help to change.

Beautiful Place but...

This Family Vacation Cabin is beautiful but there were a few things that we dont like. For example we know that kind of cabins are perfect for Winter but in summer is very very Hot especially in top room, I suggest to bring fans if you booked on summer or maybe the owners should install fans to the cabin. Also our cabin wasnt clean well . We find some trash in the master bedroom. Another thing to add was the neighbor from the left side was rude to one of our child . The rest was fine we like the location .
