Excellent location at sugar mtn! We came up to enjoy the downhill mtn bike park. We were able to ride our bikes to the lift from the house. The house was perfect for a weekend getaway and two families. Will definitely try to book this one when we return next year.

We had a wonderful stay! The place was exactly as described — cozy, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The amenities were excellent and made everything feel easy and convenient, from the well-equipped kitchen to the comfortable bedding. It’s clear the property is very well managed and cared for, which we really appreciated.The only small thing to note is that the walls are a bit thin, so we occasionally heard slight noise from the neighboring condos. It wasn’t disruptive, just something to be aware of.Overall, a fantastic stay and we would absolutely book again!

Great Mountain vacation

Described exactly how the property looks and feels. Near the top.of sugar mountain so you feel away from it all but not isolated. Beautiful views with a ton of windows. Went with my wife, sister in law, and her wife. With an up stairs and downstairs we had plenty of privacy but also could all hangout upstairs or om the porch with plenty of room. The beds are great, everything you need to cook, and a gas grill outside. The hosts are great and responded with in minutes on a couple of questions we had. Strongly recommend staying on your next trip. We will for sure be back!

Superb! Bright and cozy, beautiful views from large windows and two large balconies/decks. Comfy couch and beds, loved privacy of each bed and bath on a separate floor. Well stocked kitchen - newer high end appliances and TWO styles of coffeemakers! Prompt replies from hosts, very accomodating when we needed to change dates due to illness. Lots of personal touches throughout from welcome package to binder with house details, games and puzzles. Loved the generously sized soft towels, two full sets per bath! The entire condo smelled fresh and clean. Truly a perfect vacation spot. Highly recommend.
Chewy loved Herman's Hideaway 😄
