Property currently under construction and i think future renovation. Not necessarily handicapped accessible. There will be steps. Very clean and some things updated though a lot of tile work needs to be renovated due to age and damage. Not enough pictures of rooms. Our condo was a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom though master was on the second floor. Staff was great and again very clean. Close to grandfather state park.

We enjoyed our quaint little suite, perfect for the cold weather and snow received while we visited. Great location to sugar mountain. Only downfall was hot water ran out before jacuzzi-tub filled, also delaying a hot shower.

Great for a family and close to the resort

This was the perfect location for a family when our goal was to go for skiing. It was a 5 minute drive which meant we could just drop and pickup the skiers. The two bedroom and two bath was huge and perfect for a family of 4. My favorite part was that it felt like staying at a home rental with the convenience of a hotel. A check in/check out desk, community room, large property with amenities.

It was a nice place. Very comfortable and good amenities. One downfall is the ability to hear everything your neighbors are doing. You can hear all the thumping from walking and the talking, especially in units with the shared door (which was dead bolted shut so there was no worries there).
