Very good

We had a great time and the house was just as described. The driveway is very steep and people should be warned that they at least need all wheel drive to get out in the winter time.
Arrived just after 4 pm check in time and cleaning crew was still cleaning and told us we had to wait outside until they finished. It was snowing heavily and we had 4 children with us. I found this extremely unexceptible. We sat in our cars after a 6 hour drive in a snow storm waiting fo them to finish cleaning the house.
The home is lovely and accommodates a lot of people. The driveway is STEEP and the house is at the end! Even rain made our tires spin! Lovely great room, open kitchen area. Well stocked kitchen. Our biggest disappointment was the hot tub was broken! They did compensate us. Some deferred maintenance but they have a new property manager and I think that will take care of it! Enjoyed skating and skiing. Good places to eat nearby. Enjoyed the alpine roller coaster just up the road. First time skiers had a blast!

Beautiful cabin with all the amenities!
This cabin was gorgeous. Not only was it spacious, it had all of the amenities we were hoping for including the hot tub, pool table, and fire place. Booking was easy, and staff checked in with us throughout stay to ensure everything was going well. We would definitely stay here again.
Very nice cabin for a long weekend with friends. The hot tub was the perfect way to wrap up a day of hiking. Very spacious! The hotel style toiletries is a very nice touch.

Hi Jacob. thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your positive comments about the location and spaciousness of the property. We understand concerns about the steep driveway and will explore options to address this. Additionally, we'll prioritize refreshing the house and ensuring it receives a thorough cleaning to meet your expectations. Your feedback helps us improve, and we're committed to creating a comfortable living experience for our guests. We look forward to hosting you again!
Everything was fantastic. The space was very accommodating for our group. We would certainly book again. The space is very open and great to feel apart of a group the entire time. There was also enough space to separate out into smaller groups for games and relaxing. The hot tub was perfect. Clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable. We wish there had been more trash bags provided as there was only what was in the trash can and we hadn’t considered having to bring our own. There was also enough towels for us by basically the exact number. It would have been nice to have had more since there was a hot tub.

Beautiful mountain property!
Loved how spacious the home was. We had 7 people and at no time were we in each others space (unless we wanted to be).
Lovely home. We had a group of 8 family members. The house was spacious, comfortable, and met our needs well. It was very clean and as expected from the information provided in advance.
Beautiful and spacious home in a lovely setting. Plenty of places for eight of us to be together or spend some quiet time alone. Would have liked to have more patio furniture for us to sit outside and more bath soap or bath and hand soap
Great location and property. Housekeeping and property manager needs to up their game making sure all areas are clean and all amenities are operational.
Great home and very close to the mountain. The driveway was very steep so we got stuck at the house for a few hours when the driveway froze. Other than that we loved the home and the space.
It was not as expected The house was very dirty outside and inside. The dishes in the kitchen, skillets and pots were very oily and not cleaned. Spider webs, and lots of leaves on the porch. On the second floor clogged sink. The sitting benches in dining room were stained. The ground floor had very bad mouldy smell. The couches had crumps on them. Just overall not very pleasant. We had guests and it wasn’t a nice experience. House needs some deep cleaning and some love.

Beautiful House & quick repairs
This house was beautiful and the location is great. There were lots of small issues around the house that if repaired would make staying there with many adults (we had 7) easier. The major repair was made while we were there and the service was quick and the serviceman super respectful. Not bad for a long weekend.

Hi Amanda, thank you for sharing your feedback and bringing this to our attention that may need some TLC. We have forwarded your feedback to the local team so they can work to improve the house for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future and provide an even better experience.
The oven was replaced with a new induction type and there were no pits to use at the house. It only used a certain type of pot and there aren’t any there.

Beware!
This house owner does not furnish kitchen towels nor pot holders! The house has 1 coat hanger in each closet! The upstairs toilet BROKE and it took an act of congress to have a man come replace the parts- 15 hours later! Much to our disappointment being that we had 5 ladies in this Twin Bjorn house!

Great house in Sugar Mountain
Great space, nice furniture, great location to hiking and the local towns. Would stay again as long as I didn't need the wifi. Our group of 7 had challenges connecting to the wifi. I work remotely and it was frustrating but I used my hotspot. However, I wanted to be on vacation and not need the wifi, so without that issue, the house was wonderful!
