Clean and cozy with a killer view!

Close to local attractions and restaurants, yet tucked away on a private mountaintop location, we found this cozy, clean and comfortable vacation spot perfect for us. Awesome view, well-stocked kitchen, handsome furnishings, and huge deck, this location is highly recommended!

Gorgeous mountain home stay

Title: A Perfect Mountain Retreat! I recently stayed at this stunning mountain home, and it was an incredible experience! The place was impeccably clean and well-maintained, showcasing the owners' pride in their property. The rustic charm, complete with wooden beams and a cozy fireplace, created an inviting atmosphere that felt like home. The outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee with beautiful mountain views. I can't wait to come back and stay again—this place truly is a gem!

Beautiful long weekend

Great condo, fabulous long-range view. Unit was clean and well stocked. It would have been nice to be able to reach the cereal bowls, and to use the lamps by the sofa. Lightbulbs were missing in the smaller bedroom, and lightbulb in the nightlight had burned out. High quality sheets and thick towels - thanks for everything!

This was a wonderful condo! Totally cozy, great view, fireplace, good beds and linens. Also, the condo has way more offerings in the kitchen than most rentals: salt/pepper, bags, aluminum foil, etc. Super easy access to Sugar Mountain (only about 5-8 min drive). We loved it here and will rent again!

Impressive Views

Beautiful spacious condo, comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated with impressive views. Lots of games and puzzles! I gave cleanliness a 4 out of 5. The condo smelt like it had been closed up for a while and not used. It was not unclean, but looked like someone had tracked dirt throughout the living room and dinning room. The kitchen counters had loose dirt/debris on them. Both tubs had a dead bug in them. Possible someone did a walk through and thought it was clean. This was nothing I couldn’t clean up myself. This would not detour me from staying here again. This condo met our expectations.
