Ski trip

The condo was very clean and close to the ski slope and easy to get to. The walk to the slopes was a little far. Best to rent a locker and leave your skis and boots at the ski lodge. The whole family had a great time. We will definitely rent again.

Nice spot for families

This was a very comfortable place for our family. The walk up and down to the slopes was a little bit steep and hard when carrying gear in ski boots, but it was an easy walk across to get lift tickets in the morning and we loved being able to stop by the condo for lunch and then ski right back down to the lift. The Wii came in handy for a rainy afternoon. The kitchen doesn't have many pots and pans and is small, but we are able to make it work. Overall, clean and comfortable and we would stay here again.

The heat was not working in living room. Despite of several messages, they kept reassuring me of someone resolving the issue but no one contacted me from local team until next morning when I expressed my extreme disappointment. The place was very poorly equiped with basic amenities and toiletries like even a hand soap was not provided. No shower gel and a very poor quality shampoo of small size was provided. The place was dirty with poor and old furniture and smelly linens. We should be given at least half refund if not full.

Decent place but needs simple updates and cleaning

We enjoyed the proximity to the slopes but we made the mistake of walking to the base to rent our gear and had to cross the lift and snow- definitley drive over unless you already have gear. Also the shower curtain liner was very moldy and there’s old dust and spiderwebs on several areas, the kitchen table wasn’t cleaned at all. The comforter in the bunk bed is very pilled and worn looking and the keurig was grimy. It’s a decent place for 2 days but a little elbow grease and simple replacements would make it feel much better!
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Apr, 2024
We appreciate your honest feedback, Elly. We apologize that the condition of our home upon your arrival did not meet your expectations. The shower curtain has been replaced and the Keurig is clean. The cleaning oversights have been addressed with housekeeping. We will talk with the owner about replacing the comforters as that is at the owner's discretion. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have a chance to better impress you on a future stay.

NOT HAPPY with property management

I booked 2 condos and was assured by Vacasa (property management) they would be in the same building which they were not. When we arrived and opened the door the condo had not been cleaned. I text to ask about this and they sent someone to clean. I think they changed the sheets and towels and that was it. The floors were dirty and had not been swept or mopped. I emailed and text Vacasa that I was unhappy with the condos being in different buildings and I never heard from anyone. I think the owner needs to know how Vacasa treats customers.

Condo was great, Vacasa was HORRIBLE

The condo was great as far as being as pictured. Nice cabin feel & great location. However, there was a very strong wet dog odor in the dining room that you could often smell while sitting in the living room also. All of the beds were made except for the upstairs KING master bed that was left with QUEEN sheets folded on top. The dishwasher was left with dirty dishes & the washing machine with dirty towels. We called customer service TWICE, two separate times/days & were told sheets would be brought & someone would call us back - neither of which happened. Therefore we had to throw covers on the king bed upstairs & sleep on top of them since we did not have sheets that fit. we have used Vacasa in the past & have never had an issue, but after this stay, we will not be using them again.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Oct, 2023
Hello Philip, we are disappointed to hear that we dropped the ball this time, as this is not the high standard of guest satisfaction and cleanliness that we hold ourselves to. We have provided your valuable feedback to our local manager to address with our housekeeping team.

Nice property, but dirty

The listing photos are accurate and the property is what we had expected as a result. Great location, ample space and nice accommodations for our family and guests. However the property was generally dirty - dirty dishes put away, dirty floors, dirty bathrooms. Nobody has looked under the couches or beds in months - Playing cards, silverware, lots of dust and dirt all over the floors. Also, management was very slow to deliver enough towels for all guests. 1 hand towel, 2 rags and 3 towels were in the unit for 6 guests. Understand that they may not have known how many guests to expect (although we did disclose this in the reservation), but it took almost 24 hours from reporting this (which was immediate after check-in) to get the towels needed. We had a nice trip regardless, just was disappointing to have a dirty place and not enough towels for everyone to shower on day 1. We should get a discount on cleaning fee since it was marginally cleaned!

Great location, rustic interior

You can’t beat the location. With the parking situation at Sugar Mountain, this was nice to be able to walk down to the lodge and ski school registration area. It served the purpose and was fine for 2 nights. The interior was small and dated but bed, bath and kitchen was all we needed.

Ski In / Ski Out

Perfect location, condo had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and washer/dryer were new and fast. We never used the fire place because we were not sure exactly how to use it. We think the damper was already open but not super confident so just used the heater in the house. Parking was a little concerned because we had hoped to share the condo but due to only 1 parking spot we ended up just going the 4 of us. Again great location but lots of steps to condo and slope.

Family Ski Trip

We loved this unit!! It was perfect for our family of 4 and guest family that came for a couple nights. The place was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Couldn’t beat the location! We walked over to the slopes and could easily come back for a break and head back out. Loved that the unit was 2 storied and roomier than other lower level Bee Branch units. Will stay here again!

Excellent location and very clean

We absolutely loved the private but easy access location. The 3 bedrooms with plenty of beds were very comfy. The kitchen was stocked with everything one would need and entertainment options were plenty to just hangout inside. The wooded view and the feeling to be closer to nature was hooking us to spend most of our vacation time enjoyable with family. Kids loved playing some of the board games whenever they had time. They also loved their bunk beds. There were very good recommendations to visit places nearby as well as dining option. The owners not only kept their condo neat, they had an excellent taste with furniture choices and interior decorations. We have already made up our minds to visit back, maybe in late fall.

Needs extensive cleaning

Tried to cancel and communication was extremely poor. I did not hear back until my check in date. The biggest perk is that it is ski in ski out. Like other reviews mentioned, the house needs a deep cleaning. There was mold throughout the home. My four year old has severe allergies and he had difficulty breathing each morning. I would not stay here again due to poor communication and poor cleanliness.

Dirty and Overpriced

This unit is in an excellent location with great views of the ski slope. It is great for those that plan to hit the slopes. As mentioned in previous reviews, the condition of the unit is much older than portrayed in the pictures of the listing. Although the listing and Vacasa's website (property management company) boasts about cleanliness, there was no evidence that cleaning is a priority for this company. Upon arrival, the unit was dirty and dingy and still had trash on the floor left behind by previous renters. There were cobwebs on the windows. Many of the light fixtures were not working and we had to change the lightbulbs ourselves. After several contacts were made via phone and email, the company finally sent a cleaning crew two full days after check-in. The second cleaning was not much better. You would think this would be of top priority considering we are in the midst of a pandemic. The hot water is an issue as well as you need to be mindful of the number of people who can shower within a certain time frame or you will run out of hot water. Although the listing states that there is TV, there is no cable meaning there is nothing you can watch unless you subscribe to Netflix, etc. We were ready to head home after the first night! We will never rent a property from this management company again.
