This condo was absolutely perfect! I went up with a group of six for school trip and we couldn't have asked for a better set up. It really helped us bond as a group and has a wonderfully home-y feel.

Reviewer Comments:
The room was very clean, no complaints there, but somehow it had a lingering smell which was not pleaseant. The location was fantastic, right on the mountain but it was a workout to get back to the room climbing all those stairs with kids. The downside to the good location was that the snow blowers are REALLY LOUD and you clearly hear them from inside the room all night. It sounds like there is a vaccum going constantly in the room. With all that being said, it was a ski vacation, and we didn't spend a lot of time in the room, so this did the job and the price was great!
This rental was just as advertised. Nice location, everything we were looking for. Would recommend to others.

As advertised
We have stayed in a different unit in the past so we knew what to expect as far as location and getting to the slopes. Being able to walk to the slope is critical because parking at Sugar Mt. is limited. The checkin process is VERY inconvenient. You have to actually go pick up keys from the office versus a lockbox/electronic lock which would be SO much better. You also have to drop the keys back off at the office so if you plan to ski the last day you have to fight traffic to do so. Other than that the property was just as expected and we had a great time.
This property is so much better than the listing makes it seem - the porch and master bedroom overlook a sweet little creek with tiny little waterfalls - we left the bedroom window open and could hear the creek all night long, it was so relaxing! You are also RIGHT ON the Sugar Mountain slopes, we visited over Thanksgiving, so no skiing yet - but there was still snow on the slopes that our kids got to go play on. The playground in the pictures is just a few steps away from the condo, so another plus for our kids. The inside of the condo is a little dated, but that almost makes it seem more "homey" than some of the other updated and modern condos you can find on Sugar Mountain - it was absolutely perfect for our little family get away over Thanksgiving. This condo doesn't have the breathtaking views that you can find in other condos on Sugar Mountain, but the little creek right out back, access to the playground and the ski slopes still make it an amazing condo on Sugar Mountain - we hope to be back!
Stayed here while teaching my 5 year old how to ski and it worked out great. The walk down to the slopes has a lot of steps, or it's just a short drive to ski parking lot.
The condo was exactly as described. The location was within walking distance to Sugar Mountain Ski Resort. It provided an outstanding overlook to the slopes.
I would strongly recommend this condo!!
Was very nice very comfortable. The walk to the slopes was not as far as I thought. Really cool to watch skiers go down while on the porch. Provided a little starter pack for kitchen and bathroom which was also very nice.
