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.

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!

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.

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.

Fun stay!

We really enjoyed this stay. Great location. Loved the gas fireplace and the kids got a kick out of watching skiers on the lift below the deck. That said this condo could use a good top to bottom cleaning.

This house is in the perfect location to ski Sugar. Easy walk to green slope. Very convenient. Comfy beds. Fireplace was awesome. Kitchen is tiny though. We loved this place!

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.

Great stay and awesome location. It was a bummer that the fireplace and dryer were not working while we were there. Property manager was easy to reach and attempted to fix. Great condo overall
