Thank you for choosing Sugar Mountain! We love it when our guests find the "perfect place" to stay! We appreciate all of your kind comments and hope you come again soon! Every season has wonderful views!
We enjoyed our stay! Beautiful views and my family had a wonderful. The only issue is the stairs, I have a 15 month old so I just blocked off the stair case. We wished the jacuzzi worked at the time but that didn’t stop us from having a wonderful trip. Close to everything and not far from the slopes.

My family and I visited for Spring Break and had a wonderful stay! The appliances were a little outdated but worked perfectly and we had a little trouble figuring out how to lock the door as the directions in the booklet didn’t match the lock. We called the after hours number and had a solution very quickly. The house was very clean and the water pressure was amazing!! My family and I would definitely stay here again and liked that it was very close to grocery stores and restaurants nearby.
