Ski weekend

We stayed with family and friends for a long ski weekend. Unit was close to ski slopes and fit everyone comfortably. Parking was a bit tight and cooking equipment could stand to be updated but overall very pleased with everything! Would definitely come back.

The host and the cleanliness of the condo. Very well equipped with all necessities. If I had to pick at something it would be the parking situation. Might have worked better if we had smaller vehicles but really not enough space to vertically park with the vehicles across the way. Would not have left enough space between us and them for cars to get by. We managed to find a spot and made it work. Thanks again for allowing us to stay here. Had a wonderful time.

Location!

Great access to the slopes, tubing and skating. The ski closet was very helpful with wet boots, gloves and etc. Gorgeous views through the big windows in the dining area. The kitchen could use some organization. There were a lot of useful kitchen items, pots, griddle, dishes,etc.,but would have liked a little open storage for supplies we brought.We would come again.

Comfy, sleeps a lot, short hike to slopes

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A short walk (easily less than a quarter of a mile) down the hill and across the creek (there's a bridge) brings you out right below the ski patrol building at the base of the magic carpet area. The path can be icy and a bit tricky with your gear, but it definitely beats trying to park.

Place was hard to find at night (even if it was daytime) with gps not pinpointing actual spot. H is on the bottom entrance then letters A-F is after which is confusing. Also the numbers on door were tiny hard to read, you had to get out of vehicle to go walk up to building to read it. Outdoor entrance light on building was off (but it worked next day). Overall, the stay was comfortable and great. Appreciated the Xmas decor. Beautiful home. Loved the location and closeness to Sugar Mountain. Took me five minutes to walk to the ski place. Had a great and enjoyable Christmas vacation!

First Family Ski Trip

Great location for our first family ski trip! Easy access to slopes, tubing, and Alpine Coaster. We had 3 adults and 3 children - this fit us comfortably without using the third level. The layout worked for us to have 1 bedroom on main floor to limit stairs for part of our family. Third level has steep stairs/ladder and was grateful to see that there is a built in gate to prevent the youngest from going up and down. It is possible to walk back and forth to slopes and tubing. We found it easier to drive over, unload in one of the short term spaces, and either park or return the car having only 1 person walking without having to carry equipment.
