I am so glad that your group enjoyed your stay at Sugar High. I enjoyed our correspondence leading up to your stay, and thank you for being such wonderful guests!
Thanks so much for staying at Sugar High! I’m glad your family enjoyed the house, as well as the Woolly Worm Festival and Valle Country Fair, I hope to host you again next year!
The condo was awesome! The location was great, so easy to get to the slopes without having to worry about parking. It was well stocked with everything we needed and so cozy. Nice decor, comfy beds. and a bathroom with each bedroom was so nice. Would definitely go back! Host was also super responsive and great to work with!

It was a pleasure hosting your group! I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
We had a wonderful stay in Sugar Mountain. The communication from the host was great. The townhouse was very clean, well equipped and had instructions for almost everything in the townhouse that you needed. The view of the mountains was extra special. All of the showers had the small shower heads replaced with large square railheads which was very nice. I would highly recommend Barbara the Host and this VRBO stay in Sugar Mountain.

Thank you for your kind words! I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay. It was my pleasure to host your family and I hope you will return for another visit in the future. Best wishes!
Our host Barbara was amazing! Her home is spotless and she has thought of everything! So much ski equipment storage, boot/glove drying station and dryer, big, soft towels, lots of cozy blankets and puzzles/games galore! The view of the snow tubers was fun, crazy short walk to the slopes, fully equipped kitchen with everything we could have ever needed- spices, oil, coffee, slow cooker with liners! It felt like a home and not a rental. Comfy beds and updated everything. We slept 4 adults and 4 kids with room to spare. Game table was awesome so we didn’t have to clean up a game to eat. Our kids may have officially graduated from sugar mtn slopes (3rd time here) but if we come back- we will def book here again! Just wish we would have found this unit sooner! Thank you for a great few days to make memories with our kids and parents!

It warms my heart to hear such a thoughtful and thorough review of Sugar High! It was so nice hosting you and your family. You treated my home with love and care and are always welcome back. Best wishes!
The unit was immaculate. Kitchen was well appointed. Unit overlooked 1st tee on Grandfather Mt. golf course. Our hostess was wonderful and we knew if we wanted or needed anything she was available to help. This was an A experience.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, and for being such a great guest. I look forward to hosting you again in the future!
This exceptionally well-maintained unit was like visiting our own vacation home. The owner has filled the property with many amenities. e.g., all bathrooms come with supplies and extra towels. The kitchen is one of the well-stocked ones I've encountered, with quality pans, glass leftover containers, and a junk drawer that everyone has at home, with everything from birthday candles to a mini stapler. The family room has a giant TV, the living room has a large selection of family games and toys for young children, and the balcony overlooks the resort's golf course. For skier families, which we are, it's about a 500-yard walk to the ticket window and earshot to the tubing park. . There is one caveat: STAIRS... be aware there are stairs into the unit, the sleeping quarters are up/down stairs, and the walk to the resort is uphill and through a set of janky stairs. However, that being said, we will definitely stay here again for our next visit to Sugar Mountain

I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thorough review. It was a pleasure hosting your family and communicating with you before and during your stay. You were excellent guests and are welcome back anytime. Take care!
The amenities, cleanliness, decorative nature, comfort and availability of everything from shampoo to spices and cleaning supplies were beyond expectation. The location was easily within walking distance of the Sugar Mountain ski lodge, which was a blessing both when we went to ski and to walk back too, dead dog tired. The owner is absolutely sweet, caring and great to work with. Will dedinitely be back!

Not only is this townhome located ideally for scenic views & a great skiing experience, but the decor & amenities are amazing! The owner has gone to great lengths to make sure her guests have every supply, the kitchen has excellent cookware, the additional soft blankets are cuddle worthy, & the furniture is exquisite down to the lamps & wall decor.We can’t wait to return!

Thank you so much for choosing to stay at Sugar High, and for your kind words. You and your family were wonderful guests, and I can’t wait to host you again!
Barbara was very responsive and had everything ready when we arrived. The house is very accommodating and has incredible views of the mountains and tubing hill. Each bedroom is its own suite and the middle floor is more than enough communal space for everyone to hangout. We were able to walk to the slopes, even with little ones. The downstairs suite has access to the backyard which is great for the kids to be able to play.
