About this property
Sweet Retreat • Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Pet Friendly
- Sweet Retreat is an upscale cabin tucked into the woods, offering the perfect blend of comfort and privacy. The wraparound porch delivers peaceful long-range mountain views, plenty of seating, and a covered hot tub for relaxing after a day on the mountain. A wood-burning fire pit in the yard adds another inviting spot to unwind.
Inside, the open living area brings everyone together with a fully equipped kitchen, island seating, two cozy couches, and a large TV. A gas fireplace adds warmth and charm throughout the seasons. The king primary suite features an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and double vanity. Two queen bedrooms and a second full bathroom with a shower/tub combo and double vanity offer plenty of space for couples or families.
Sweet Retreat is pet friendly, equipped with central heating and air, reliable WiFi, and a gravel parking area that accommodates two to three cars. The setting feels peaceful and secluded while still placing you just a 10-minute drive from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort for skiing, snowboarding, tubing, ice skating, golf, tennis, and mountain biking.
Whether you are seeking adventure, a cozy couples’ escape, or a comfortable home base for the whole family, Sweet Retreat delivers a welcoming mountain experience in every season.

We were blown away by the house when we first walked in. The kitchen and great room are big, open, inviting. So is the master. The gas fireplace with remote was perfect for cold nights. The hot tub was great also - super warm even when the outdoor temp was 3. The Weber propane grill worked great in the same temp, though the ignitor was snow covered, and we had to use a lighter to light the burners - be sure to bring a grill lighter.The host was very responsive and went out his way to insure we had a nice stay. There was also a complimentary bottle of red wine, which was amazing because we'd planned to have red wine the first night but forgot to pick any up. The house was very clean.We arrived shortly after and a day before large snowfalls. The driveway is steep and definitely requires 4wd or AWD with anything more than a few inches of snow. The host has cleared it prior to our arrival, but 9 inches the next day made 4wd required. The family didn't want to leave. Great stay.

Bed rooms were really cold, whole living room and kitchen were fine. No coffee in cabin, had to run to grocery store shortly after arriving. Driveway due to weather conditions was in poor conditions. Host was very supportive…
