We had a great stay! The house was in a perfect location, short walk to the ski slopes. Lots of beds and plenty of space for us. Only thing that could be improved is most of the cooking stuff in the kitchen was dirty and we had to wash everything before using it. Besides that everything was great.

Thanksgiving

We enjoyed the view from the living room. Very cozy and a bit tight. Parking lot was to small for all the units located up there. But we could see the ski slope from the place. Very close to skiing and ice skating.

One of the best !

This property has a five star rating for a reason. I don’t think the pictures do it justice. Rooms are all of good size, cozy and comfortable all in one. Kitchen spices and supplies stocked well. The path to tubing is great you don’t have to drive. Short four minute walk. Host was great with any questions you might have. Answered promptly. Definitely would recommend. Angela

Great location to the slopes for a great price

I loved the location to be able to walk a path to the upper parking lot to get to the slopes. Good clean place with plenty of supplies for everything he would need. Only issue I had was some minor things with the Microwave going out and tripping the breaker when we were using tons of laptops in the house and. The other thing was the garbage disposal wasn’t working, but I’m sure the owner will fix it right away because he was very attentive to any immediate needs I had.

The location was perfect! My father, husband, and I were easily able to walk with our ski gear right to the entrance of Sugar Mountain Resort. Not having to park and wait for the bus was already a huge blessing. The rooms were clean and warm, and the kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, and plates. We cooked most of our meals there and it was convenient. We loved our stay and Sean was incredibly responsibe and helpful. The only thing is that I initially struggled to find the location, but that is latgely due to my own directional capabilities. Sean was able to guide us there over the phone. I would stay here again!

Love the Sugar Shack

The property was exactly what we needed as a family. Plenty of bedroom and bathroom space. Perfect distance up Sugar Mt, we enjoyed our stay so much and look forward to returning. We enjoyed the board games and sitting on the deck in the cool evenings. Great communication with the host, will stay again.

Winter storm extension.

We were due to check out and a winter storm dumped 12 inches of snow making it impossible to leave. The unit was rented for that day, but the owner was able to allow us to stay one more day in which we were able to leave.

Great location and access to ski resort activities!

We loved staying at this property for New Year's weekend and Sean was amazing! Even though we had a bit of trouble with GPS getting us to the location we were able to contact him very quickly and he helped us out. The property was the perfect space for us (we were two families of 4 (2 adults/2 kids each)) and definitely beat staying at a hotel with all it's amenities. There is a walk way that gets you directly to the slopes, tubing and ice skating. We ended up extending one more night just to get the snow storm that was coming and the views...Oh my! The views!!! Just breathtaking!!! Everything covered in white was so spectacular to see! The kitchen was pretty well equipped with all the essentials. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Sugar Mountain Resort, you wont regret it!!

Dryer in downstairs bedroom

The dryer is not vented to the outside, but into the downstairs bedroom. This makes this bedroom have an odor and humid.
