The condo was perfect. Beautiful views, stocked smartly! The hot tub was a bonus after a day on the slopes. We'll definitely consider again for next visit!
Our stay was excellent. The apartment was clean, well organized, and fully stocked with everything we needed, especially kitchen utensils and towels. We will definitely be back!
We had the best family time ever. The place we stayed was adorably decorated, so cozy and comfortable. Felt at home. The owners were so great and responsive. The mountain views were spectacular especially the sunrise. Everything was centrally located. We skiied for two days straight. Lots to do and great restaurants. We did not want to leave. We will def be back soon.
Master bedroom TV would not connect to any channels, Fire place would not turn on and steam room was out of order.

We apologize for the tv and the fireplace, we were unaware of these issues as not one guest has had any issues. We have no control over the amenities at Sugartop. We wish you had reached out to us as we could have made corrections
We were excited to get away to the mountains and this property was perfectly located for what we wanted to do. We were very happy with our views as well as the cleanliness and the size of our condo.
Absolutely wonderful! Gorgeous views and an amazing staff who bent over backwards to help us with my disabled husband. Condo was so cozy and had everything and more that we needed. Stunning views and wonderful hosts!! We will be back!!
This was our second stay at Sugar Top and Grandfather Glory was perfect for our family of 4. The kids love the indoor pool and the board games were perfect to keep them entertained. The condo had everything we needed for our stay!
The condo was clean and well thought out. The place is well stocked with essentials like soap, paper products etc.. Small details like extra blankets, board games etc.. were appreciated. No complaints at all about the condo and would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Property was very clean. Everything worked as stated and we enjoyed our stay. The owner was always responsive to our questions. We would highly recommend this property.

It was a pleasure to host you both! Please come back soon!
The condo was perfect for our Christmas vacation. The owner had the place spotless and perfectly decorated for Christmas Day. My wife and I took my little girl here for the big day. The views are spectacular and it feels just like your in a log cabin. The host are so friendly and they helped make our stay that much better. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a perfect mountain top adventure with views to die for!!
My husband and I so enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was such a convenient/quick trip to the local ski resort, the condo was so clean, had so many amenities and the view was to die for. Also, they have decorated the condo so wonderfully and it really gives you that sweet cozy cabin vibe. Can’t say enough good things!!!
We stayed at this property during winter snow storm Izzy and we were very pleased with the condo. Lots of comfy blankets and comfortable beds to keep us warm and cozy. We had everything we needed.

Thank you Jessica! Our goal is definitely for guests to be cozy! Please come back soon!!
The owners were very accommodating after a mixup on our check-in. The unit was clean and as advertised. The inside pool and spa were great after a day of skiing. Views from the balcony were beautiful. I would recommend the rental to anybody going to the area.
