Old run Down and NOISEY

Was like a museum furniture, appliances, decor, flooring, bedding, all were 40 plus years old. Refrigerator makes terrible noises constantly, There cant be any insulation in the walls you could hear everything the neighbors said. Upstairs must have been a family of Sasquach i never saw them but you could sure hear them. Even at 3 in morning pounding the floors. Apparently the people that stayed the night before us thought they had it rented for our stay also. They came back tring to open the door several times but their code would not work. They claimed they left their belongings in their. Needless to say it was very disturbing.

Well worth the price

This property was very clean. The bedrooms are nice, the bathrooms were a bit small. I love sitting on the deck. It is located close to area attractions. We are already planning a trip back in December. Y6

Great unit for ski trip

Unit was clean, cozy and warm when we got there. Furniture was comfortable but sturdy and rustic enough you weren't afraid to put your feet on the coffee table! Appreciated the large dining room table and kitchen serve thru window. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were average but we slept fine. WiFi and TVs worked and the fireplace came right on. The rack outside the door for skis and Boards was very helpful. No complaints really. Only suggestion is to put more weatherstripping around the outside door in the bedroom cuz you could feel air coming through. Would stay here again.

Expectations

If you are expecting a modern, gleaming unit with updated furnishings, fit and finish, you'll give this place a One Star. For many reasons...many reasons..... If you are expecting a worn and used unit last renovated in the 20th century, this will work perfectly. The words "rustic" or "lived in" gently describe the state of the place. The location to the slopes is excellent. The Roku TV was excellent. Parking, excellent. I'm going with 3 stars since it all depends on what you are hoping to get for the price. (For management: a little market analysis of the area shows other condos and even houses in the exact same price range with the same features and have been WAY more updated. The price on this one should be appreciably lower.)

Not bab for the money

Location was great and the view from the deck was nice as well. Fireplace was not easy to get started and it's a bit out of date and needs some TLC.

Our stay

This unit make me extremely nervous after reading the reviews but overall it wasn’t bad. Yes it’s a little out dated & needs some TLC but we were there to ski and have a good time. & that’s just what we did! I would definitely suggest the owner in buying some new blinds bc out of all the windows there was only one window the blinds worked on. All the other windows the blinds wouldn’t even pull down to cover the windows. Also it would have been nice to have the right amount of towels. The unit sleeps 6 and we were only given 3 bath towels. There was 6 of us adults. Not a big deal but wish I would of known, I would have brought my own. Skiers it’s on the beginner slope which is great but it’s a little tricky/hard getting up and down from the unit to the slope so if you have small children, be aware. Definitely will get your exercise in. I gave the check process 3 stars. I’ve stayed on the mountain before in different units & I normally receive info at the latest the night before on instructions on getting into the unit. I didn’t receive info until noon the day of our arrival. It may just be me but I would have liked them sooner. One last thing the unit only allows one parking spot. Overall we had a good time and the unit was clean

Pleasant stay next to slopes

It was a well kept place. A bit small and dated. Next to slopes. Although we did have to go down 3 flights of stairs or more to get down to the creek in order to get to the ski lifts making it difficult with small kids. Very nice views from the balcony

Labor Day 2020

Dated, but well maintained home on the ski slopes of Sugar Mountain. Had a good weekend watching folks mountain bike down. Rode the lift up for some great views and then back down. The surrounding towns can not handle the traffic on a holiday weekend. The restaurants do not have capacity for the holiday weekend crowds, so plan to take advantage of the kitchen in this unit and cook your own meals.

NEEDS TLC - Beware

Various mechanical and comfort issues kept us from enjoying our stay. My family has stayed with Dereka for the holidays for years and have always been satisfied with the Bee Branch units and staff. This year with the layer of Vacasa management and disconnect from the staff was terrible. From the front door not latching to the poor mechanical condition of the unit, Vacasa has not been an improvement to the Bee Branches.
