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

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.

The unit was incredibly dirty with previous visitors dirty laundry under the couch and around the unit. Also, dirt, food, and a dirty q-tip was found when asking the sofa bed.

Property was good, but the following need to be addressed: Some dirty pans and dishes. Some pans had buildup on the bottom with no steel or sos pans to clean them. No dishwashing soap to clean dishes or silverware and no silverware basket to put them in the dishwasher. Burners on electric stove did dot fit and were not able to be leveled and only 2 of the burners could be used. The mattress is old and somewhat lumpy. Bedspread did not seem to be clean.

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!

Liked: Amenities, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The place was very convenient for us to go skiing in sugar mountain. The condo was spacious but not maintained at all. The headboards on the bed was shaking. The floor was sticky and dirty. There was popcorn behind the sofa. There were bathroom lights that was broken from its fixture. And the water preyin the bathroom was very low. Half way in the shower the water stopped one night. I took pictures and shared all this with the office staff when I checked out. I wish they would maintain this property as it’s on the mountain. Just need to make sure you have a 4x4 specially during winter.
