First time staying in a true ski in/ski out place. Wow! I don’t think we could ever go skiing again without staying in one. This home had easy access to the slopes and a great place to relax after a full day of activity. Close to town to go to the grocery store, shopping, rentals, and dining. Easy check in/check out process. Great kitchen to cook in, lots of TVs with all the streaming services. Great places to hang out with family in the home for playing games and the bedrooms were comfortable. Our boys loved the bunk bed room and we loved the storage area downstairs for all the ski gear! Amazing place to stay!

Great location and updated slopesider

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spacious accommodation for families and groups, well stocked kitchen, lots of TVs, nice bathrooms! The only feedback I would have temperature downstairs varied greatly by room. One room would be hot while another would be cold. But it was a very enjoyable stay and we would love to come back.

Thank you for choosing Sugar Mountain and Sugar Express! It was a pleasure to host you! The heat pump has now been repaired, so the temperature variance should not be a problem anymore! We hope you come again!

The house was great though as soon as we got there Wednesday.. We found out that ski season ended that Thursday instead of Sunday and their was no communication or price reduction. We only wanted to stay on slopes for convenience of skiing which is more expensive then not slope side so this was a little frustrating that they decided this last minute.

Great home, directly on the ski slope

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great home, very nicely remodeled. Only gaps are: bedrooms get very hot when doors closed to common areas...the temperature sensors are in common areas, but not in bedrooms. Also, common areas are all completely exposed to those outside on the slopes, as there are no blinds/curtains. This is problematic when the bright lights from the mountain are on the entire time it is dark (from dusk to dawn) when making snow. Extremely bright in all common areas of the house.

Sugar express is ideally located

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second year spending a long weekend in sugar express and the house itself is great because you can sit in warmth watching your family ski. However this year we ran into a situation we're just a day or so before I rental began the furnace acted up. So where last year we had consistency this year there were times we had no heat and there were times when the furnace ran without being able to control how much heat it put into the house. Fortunately, the weather was very cold so it seldom got too hot but did get chilly. During those times we had to turn the oven on to stay warm. The house itself is very nice but there is only parking for two cars and that is all the rental agency permits. We especially like the fire pit that is in the parking lot right by the slope so you can sit by a warm fire and watch people ski passed.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Feb 2026
Thank you for choosing Sugar Mountain and Sugar Express! We are sorry for the problems with the furnace. It has now been fixed. It was a process! As for parking, there is room for only 2 vehicles at this house. Parking is not based on the rental agency's permission. We do offer overflow parking below our office for any extra vehicle that you may have. Any time you have an issue with the heat not working properly, please contact our office. We can provide alternative heat sources. Sugar Express is a beautiful unit, and we hope you come again!
