The space and view were wonderful! We wish we had received responses from the host when we sent messages, but we never heard from them. I saw where historically they are very responsive and appreciate that it was a holiday weekend, though, and that they may not have been available. Otherwise, we were very pleased with our stay.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful views . Beds very comfortable. Only thing I would change is the furniture. As a senior, and with spinal issues, I prefer firmer seating. Would stay there again.

Beautiful property! Just a few notes

Just wanted to say first, the view is absolutely gorgeous. Waking up to the mountain range just outside the window was the absolute best part of this trip. The drive up the mountain was curvy but not scary or dangerous (even in my front wheel drive Corolla) in the middle of March. A little snow on the ground but the roads are maintained wonderfully. Grocery store and restaurants nearby, very convenient. However, the soap in all the bathrooms was watered down to the point that it basically wasn’t soap anymore. I pulled one of the cookie sheets out to cook a pizza on and it was visibly caked with grease, I thought it was just rust/wear but when I swiped my finger it was leftover food residue. I also tried to contact the host during my stay, but since I was staying over a weekend Fri-Sun, no one answered any of my messages or called me back until I was already in another city on Monday. It wasn’t a big deal for me personally but if I had any serious issues, it would scare me to not be able to get in contact with anyone.

Can't Beat the Views!

Excellent property, very clean, beautifully decorated, and well stocked. At the top of the Summit in The Reserve, with a short walk to the ski lift. Highly recommended. Roads are well maintained during the winter. We had a fabulous quick trip, love the area, starting to make Sugar Mountain a routine visit, and would enjoy staying here again. Thank YOU for sharing your lovely condo with us!

Fabulous! Would totally stay here again!

The condo was in a great location (brisk but doable walk to the slopes, fantastic mountain views), was clean, comfortable, well-decorated, and probably one of the most well-stocked rentals we've ever stayed in. Additionally, we arrived at the beginning of a tough snowstorm. I'm sure the owners/managers can't ever guarantee this, but the drive was plowed and treated quickly and efficiently. It didn't cause us any troubles walking up to the slopes or driving down into town. So happy we chose it. We'll be back.
