Pure Perfection

This property was amazing. Plenty of room for everyone. The layout was great to give the younger bunch their own space and of coarse there are no words to describe the beautiful view. Everything was clean and well stocked. Sugar Mountain is right down the street and Andrea communicated perfectly. Great trip. Thank you.

Sugar Mountain Cabin

We loved the property. Great amenities with a breath taking view in the day and at night . We loved the location. The fire pit was a huge hit with the family. Loved the jukebox, ping pong table, wii, and the street fighter game. Kept the kids entertained after a long day at the ski resort. Was easy to communicate with the owners. Just a great place. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Property!

We loved our stay- the house was perfect for a small family reunion. Great location, amenities, and communicating with owner was easy. The only downfall are the stairs! They aren’t suitable for older adults and young children- very dangerous. They need better coverage of the metal and some slip guards- they are small, steep, and circular. My FIL couldn’t go down to the basement the entire time, unfortunately. But other than that; the house was great!

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Feb, 2022
Thank you for your feedback. I do agree, those steps are very cool and fit with the ski cabin vibe but not great for all! Do keep in mind that there are normal steps from the back deck that lead right to the downstairs door. This may be a better option for some.

Excellent stay, excellent host

Wonderful rental, everything was as described and expected. The location is excellent, just minutes from Sugar Mountain Resort. The house was great and the kitchen was well equipped. We were a group of seven - grandparents, daughter & husband, 4 and 5 year old grandchildren, plus an au pair and a furry family member. Everyone loved the jukebox and ping-pong table. Everything worked flawlessly - showers, fireplace, firepit, washer/dryer, dishwasher. Most importantly, communication with the owner was exceptional. Thank you for the stress-free stay!

Heavenly Haven

We had the perfect ski weekend at Sugar Haven! This home has been beautifully updated and had everything we needed. There is plenty of room for multiple families to stay. The kids loved the ping pong table and wii and my husband and I loved the nostalgia of the CD jukebox. So fun! The views from Sugar Haven are gorgeous and the fire table on the deck is a great way to enjoy them. We even lucked out with snow and lots of deer sightings while we were there. We would definitely stay at Sugar Haven again!
