My boyfriend and I had an amazing stay here, the views were beautiful the room was relatively good and the staff was very accommodating however the room definitely hasn’t been renovated in a while and very old school, there was not many utensils, the light in the main bed room didn’t work and the parking was a little bit of a struggle in building 201 I wish we had reserved parking for our room so we were not left with out a parking spot. It wasn’t the best but honestly good for the price and for the views alone we would go again.

Although I rated this stay “excellent” there were two minor issues that occurred. 1. The unit above was occupied & while there was no other noise present the footsteps of the occupants were very noticeable. It was difficult to go to sleep. 2. The hot tub amenity on Wednesday was wonderful ( approx 102-104 F.), but on Thursday the water was more like in the 70s F.temperature was in the 70s F. 3. Everything else was wonderful & exceptionally clean!

Clean, great location, but bad mattress & outdated

We did not get the unit that the pictures had shown. Our unit was very outdated, and the mattress was horribly uncomfortable. It was very clean, however, and the location was great.

Good-sized apartment, but Kitchen items are DIRTY

The staff contacted us by phone before our arrival, which was helpful because we were arriving late at night. The property was spacious and had a good kitchen and kitchen appliance/utensils. The roads to the property was well-maintained, even with a snow storm. There's a bus that takes renters to Sugar Mountain ski resort. The biggest issue for me was ALL the KITCHEN ITEMS - plates, bowls, utensils, pots, and pans, etc. had stuck-on dirt and needed to be scrubbed before use. Other issues include: there was not enough toilet paper left in the property, especially because cleaners don't come in nightly from whom we can ask for these things. The floors upstairs were uneven. There was a hallway closet on the loft was left broken. If we had younger children, it could cause an accident. There is a definite draft and a hole from below the stairs where you can see the closed-off storage area below the apartment. There is also a draft I the bathroom as well as uneven floors, which can again be dangerous. There is also a draft coming in from the 2 sliding doors to the back porches. The "curtain" hanging over the sliding doors are shower curtains (and so cannot really deal with the draft). There was no salt left in the front door storage area nor a shovel to deal with the snow that blows onto the steps/front of the apartment doors.

My family and I booked this cabin last minute for my granddaughter's birthday, and let me say it exceeded my expectations. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the property is well maintained. Although the staff is not on the property after 5:00 pm, however they do provide an after hours phone number. They are quick to respond and assist
