GREAT view… the condo itself is an awesome location and views of the slopes and the sound of the creek in the back.This place was dirty, filthy in places and mold in the showers and the final straw was the ROACHES running around the countertops and hiding in the cabinets. YUCK!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall the home is great for a couple of days on the slopes. Just hope you don't have any issues because the host Vacasa provides absolutely no help. We took our grandmother specifically so her and my wife could spend time together for a couple of days watching movies. The TV did not work, we called the moment we got there, then 4 other times and never got a call back. They didn't even attemp to provide any help. I would understand if it was a single owner who communicated and tried to find some help but couldn't, but a company that provides this service and makes no attempt to even respond let alone help is pathetic.

Great no-frills slope side condo

This property has a wonderful location with opportunities to ski-in/ski-out from Sugar Mountain slopes. The kitchen had the supplies we needed for basic cooking. There were plenty of beds, though they weren't particularly comfortable. While this place isn't fancy, it met our family's ski vacation needs.

Ski Sugar Mountain

The property was very well located for ski-in, ski-out IF there is lots of snow. Otherwise it’s a walk to the slope and rental shack. Also you have to climb stairs to get to this 3rd floor condo. Small kitchen, no room to store our groceries, old appliances. Too many useless throw pillows on the beds and empty duvet covers that didn’t make sense. Otherwise, great patio area overlooking slopes, comfortable dining, seating and sleeping areas.

Clean and cozy condo

In general, everything was very good. I was very happy to find an electrical kettle in the kitchen! It would’ve been nice to have a toaster in the kitchen and a soap bar in every bathroom (we only found one), but, overall, everything was great. Thank you for the cozy stay!

Handicap accessible

Was thinking access was ground level. Realized upon arrival I had to climb stairs. Took awhile, but I managed. If there is no place to check on potential handicapped guests, they need to know ahead of time. Found out the day of arrival and too late to switch. If it was on accommodations, I did not see it.

Nice view of slopes but too worn and outdated. Good for college students but not clean enough for adults. Adequate beds and supplies. TV was broken and wasn’t fixed during our stay.
