I wasn’t going to go out of my way to write a review but since they sent me a link here I am. I am not going to bash just say it wasn’t clean enough for us and next time will be looking for central heat because it took almost 12 hrs for the condo to get to a temp that you didn’t need a jacket.

Reviewer Comments:
The condo was a clean and well appointed, if not a bit dated, option to enjoy the top of Sugar Mountain. While ended up having plenty of heat, managing between the few floor registers, provided space heater, and electric fireplace took a little trial and error to get just right (don't plug the heater into the same circuit as the fireplace), and you sacrifice some background noise to enjoy to fireplace heat. Similar experience with the oven. It worked, but temp lights didn't offer any information and the metal handle definitely needs a kitchen towel to open. Access to the slopes were as good, if not better, than any other unit in the complex with a short level walk to Oma's Meadow. Parking was great compared to some other monstrosity options at the TOP of SUGAR.

Small place, one queen in loft and a sofa bed. Perfect place when you plan on spending your time skiing! Beds need new mattresses. Springs on Couch bed were painful. If you’re looking for updated place, this is not it. But it is clean, comfortable, and perfect location! I would absolutely stay again!

The rental has a nice layout and is warm and light. We did not have sheets for the sofa bed, but called the after hours phone number and some were delivered. It was ok clean but crumbs on the dining table and stuff on the carpeted stairs. The bathroom works well- it just needs to be wiped down better.

FIrst of, we love SS&CC, stayed with them more than a dozen times since 1998. Great accomodations and what is more important great location ski in/out even when the red is closed there is a quick cross to the main slopes. Great service always, great location and very friendly and flexible staff. Thank you.
We really enjoyed our stay at sugar ski. Our unit was as represented...small but adequate for a 3 night stay for a family of four. Management was helpful and friendly, contactless check in was super simple. The location was perfect for walking to Oma’s meadow. The downside to the location was listening to the snow makers running constantly, but it was a small price to play for the location and conditions! The only negative was the cleanliness of the unit was a little subpar. It looked as though my teenaged sons were in charge of vacuuming...a lot had been missed and it looks like it’s been a while since any kind of attachment had been use to vacuum the stairs. Also some dirty dishes in the cabinets. All in all, it was a great trip and I would stay again!

Excellent location
I loved this place and it was great to be able to ski out and in from the lift. Our only suggestion is there was poor communication about getting us the code to get in the gate and how to get the key from the office. It would be better if that information was sent in advance.
This condo had a great view, and if skiing would be great ski in/out location. It was clean for the most part. As reported in other reviews, it does need a new bed. The pull out couch only had a spring mattress and was not useable for our son so we slept squished in the queen up in the loft. But it was the right size to make your own breakfast, lunch & dinner, enough space to spread out with 3 people, had a great view, was clean and relatively updated.
The space was as described and clean. The view was wonderful. It was hot- but we knew it would be since the bed is on the 4th floor of the building. We enjoyed the area.
