Serenity is a perfect description for the feeling evoked by the treetop view over a babbling brook from the living room and walkout deck. Great communication with host, accommodating, and puts the effort in to ensure your stay is top-notch. Great location on Sugar Mtn!

Wouldn’t stay there again

Owner did provide a cooling tower as the condo has no air conditioning and with climate change even the mountains get warm. Also, the condo has no washer/dryer on site. Finally, we had to deal with construction workers repairing a water break in the next door condo up to 7:00 PM every night we were there, I told the owner but nothing was done to at least have them stop working at a reasonable time.

Thank you for your feedback.. As a “Premier” host I take pride in providing an enjoyable stay for all guests and the accuracy of Serenity’s listing which stipulates no A/C & washer/dryer. Upon your arrival I graciously offered an upgrade to another unit which was declined and then I purchased a cooling tower to alleviate your concerns etc.. As for neighbors, workers, and outside influences…. These are issues beyond my control and unfairly rated in this review. Not to mention, workers were only present 4dys of your 20dy stay.. not the entire time as you stated. Thank you.

Better than advertised

I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. It had everything listed as well as several little extra amenities that really gave it an extra touch, like hot chocolate K-Cups. The only way we could have been in a better location is if we were at the actual front door of the ski lodge, it’s that close. I geared up and walked down for the 9am open session, walked back for lunch, and was back on the slopes 5 minutes after I finished lunch. It was awesome. It snowed several inches while we were there and I was a little concerned about getting home, but they had snow plows going several times in the evening and morning and our trip home was super smooth. 100% would stay again- in fact I’m actually going to see about booking this property again for summer to do some downhill mountain bike trails as Sugar.
