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.

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.

Too short a visit

Lovely facility. Rooms were clean, well layed out and complete in terms of appliances etc. we should have stayed longer. The village should also improve as roads are being repaired and upgraded and a large new building is under construction.

Construction upkeep and maintenance is year-round work and I understand. Peak seasons are not the time to be in the middle of construction. The staff was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay when I booked my room, description, and reservations included a Jacuzzi of which was not available, and also was under the understanding there would be a fitness room. Also not existent. It was very conveniently located to Sugar mountain for skiing.

Great Stay

Location is great Staff was very friendly. We arrived early & to our surprise were able to check in early without any trouble & start our vacay....greatly appreciated!! Our unit was away from the current renovations, so our stay wasn't disrupted at all. Our unit had not been updated yet,but was in fairly good condition considering it is time for a remodel. The weather was fantastic during our stay and we would not have had to even run the A/C if we'd had a ceiling fan in the living room & if both sets of patio doors had screens.....we would recommend screens & ceiling fans. We love the coffee machine in the hospitality cabin!! Props to Aiden- he was friendly, an expert rock skipper & had to rescue paddle boaters twice during our stay We enjoyed the ice cream social bar & s'more activities We never saw anything about music in the evenings, so not sure if that was a private thing, so we enjoyed from afar on our deck

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I love the amenities that are offered. Beautiful atmosphere and clean. Rooms are spacious. Felt like home away from home. I just wish we had more time to explore the grounds. The water pressure from the shower head in 12N was very low and temperature kept fluctuating. We stayed in 12N. The one thing I would like to point out is it would be very helpful if the ramp going to the 3rd floor could be extended. The steps make it almost impossible to carry heavy items such as a oversized luggage/ packed coolers that are full of heavy items. I had to empty everything from our cooler (With wheels) and carry it up the steps in grocery bags. The idea vacationer would like to be able to pack everything in a wagon or carrier and roll it up a ramp or into an elevator.
