Great for a ski trip

Property was in close proximity to the winter activities (skiing, sledding, ice skating). We enjoyed the cozy fireplace and the deer that frequented the front yard. Not crazy about the carpet. It was nice to have a full size kitchen and a washer/dryer.

Peaceful and Relaxing Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the patio enjoying the pretty view. We saw lots of wildlife! Hummingbirds, rabbits, deer, and more. My favorite was a set of triplet fawns that would come and play in the front yard with each other! So beautiful!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We didn't know what to expect from this rental but upon arrival we knew we stumbled onto something great! Our check-in was flawless and the person at the desk provided us with a ton of information with a smile, so pleasant. I took my wife, son and 78/79 yr old parents to an immaculate home with all the trimmings. They raved about the comfortable bedrooms, immaculate bathrooms and how the kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. The gas grill was spotless and had all the tools. There was also a spare, full tank of propane JIC. We loved sitting on the patio with the gas fire-pit looking at the leaves and sipping a drink. Seeing deer and turkey was icing on the cake. We are hooked and will definately be back!

A warm comfortable stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean, warm and comfortable. The only modest issue was arriving during a snow fall. The mailbox was knocked down and we couldn’t see the number. It made for some back and forth type looking. Please consider a good sturdy house number for future guests. Other than that, the house was great.

The wall to wall carpeting feels great, the kitchen well appointed, the master bed very comfortable and the garage makes coming home in the rain much appreciated. The RRR staff responded quickly and professionally. The closeness to amenities makes planning activities a breeze.

Bugs everywhere

For what we paid, you would not expect to walk in to spiders and crickets throughout the house. We spent the first couple of hours of our first night cleaning up dead spiders and crickets and getting rid of the ones that were still alive. We tried contacting the rental agency where we picked up the keys and left 2 voicemails but did not receive a call back until 2 days later, which was after we checked out.

Cozy mountain retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Clean and cozy mountain house, well equipped for a family getaway. Great view of grandfather mountain. The house had everything we were looking for and then some. Comfortable beds, functional fireplace, fire pit with great patio furniture, gas grill and garage. All appliances worked properly. Driveway is a bit tricky especially with ice present as when we arrived. There is an alternate way to access the house if you go past the main driveway and take two left turns you can turn back on the driveway just before the house. It’s a much better way to come and go. Resort traffic can be a factor for coming and going. One afternoon it was so bad we turned around and went shopping for about an hour to allow it to die down. A resort staff member told us during our trip that they where busier than ever, even for a holiday, so that was likely the cause for traffic. Mostly we had no issue with traffic. We enjoyed this property and would stay here again.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Several bugs in the home both dead and living. Poor water pressure in shower heads. Patios and patio furniture were covered in yard debris and cobwebs- required cleaning before use. Master bath shower door will not close properly. The living sofa was covered in white dog hair and the sofa has lost its support on both end seats. A nice home but it is not being kept up.

Great weekend stay

We had a great stay at Ridgeview. It was right up the mountain from Sugar Mountain ski lodge which was very convenient when taking two young kids skiing for the first time. We had plenty of room at the house with 4 adults and 2 kids. Definitely would recommend if you are wanting to stay close to Sugar Mountain.

A perfect little ski weekend

The house was perfectly suitable for our family of 6. The fireplace was my husband's absolute favorite feature. The ease in how they have it set up to be operated was a delight. We enjoyed everything about this home, including the proximity to the slopes. Like 2 minutes down a mountain and you're there. Easy drop offs for our kids. We loved it and we will definitely stay here again when we come back to ski.

Enjoyable stay

My family stayed in this perfect house in Sugar Mountain Resort. There were six of us- 2 adults, two college kids and two 16 yo. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds comfy and the living room sectional was the perfect place to relax after a fun day of skiing. The home wasn't as close to the lodge as I was hoping, but it was an easy drive up and down to shuttle the kids to the slopes. It was also great to have the garage to store all of our ski equipment. We would definitely stay here again.

Annual Christmas vacation

The house is very well located and is very clean. A very very short drive to Sugar Mountain ski resort which is ideal. The only complaint I have, insufficient hot water, the house is 90% carpeting which is not friendly when you’re watching TV you can’t eat in the living room and the dining room is also carpeted. The guest bedroom the bed is very very uncomfortable. For me one of the worst issues was the owners will not let you get UPS deliveries to the house during Christmas which is in my opinion ridiculous. Many of my grandchildren’s presence cannot be received and for that I will not stay there again.

Loved the property, the location was great it was inside the Sugar Mountain ski entrance. We had a family of friendly deer in the yard every morning. Only complaint was my own fault, I left my ring and it wasn’t found. Overall would definitely recommend.
