We loved the stay. We have young children so being slope side was really great for us. It is a short drive down to the main lodge at Sugar Mountain too which was very helpful. We cant wait to come back!

We enjoyed hosting you! Thank you so much for staying and we welcome you back next year!
We loved the condo. It is in an amazing location. It was clean and updated inside. We spent lots of time out on the balcony on the porch swing enjoying the skiers and snowboarders. Would definitely recommend.

We really enjoy hosting you all! We hope you will visit again next year!
I rarely take the time to review but wow what a kind and organized host and such a wonderful place! It was so nice to watch the kids ski from the back porch. The house was perfectly organized everything accounted for. WiFi- perfect. Entry - perfect (even with the security gate layer) exit instructions simple and reasonable. My daughter had a nasty fall on her snowboard. We spent the evening at the hospital and they allowed a late checkout with very little notice and offered kind supportive words. Thank you for this stay!

From one family to another, it was a true pleasure to host you. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the place. We welcome you back anytime - just without the unschedule tour of the hospital! :D
The location is right on the easy street slope which was prefect for our group. Walking to the lodge was easy and quick, especially when not wearing ski boots! Getting to and off the slope was a workout because you have to walk around and down the building but if you’re prepared it’s doable! We had 5 adults which I would say is the max to remain comfortable but it could easily fit 4 adults and kids! We had a little cleaning issue when we first arrived but the owner was very helpful and had the issue fixed quickly! Out of our years of renting ski-in ski-outs this was the best location and most helpful owners!
