Epic Mountain Retreat
Beautiful condo with all the amenities needed. Perfectly located with epic views to all the sites we planned to visit. Beautiful private gated community
Our family went to Sugar Mountain to ski for the first time. The condo was in a convenient location and very clean. We would stay here again.

Beautiful retreat!
The views from the balcony were spectacular! We loved watching the sun come up each morning and set in the afternoon. WiFi worked great. Will definitely return in the future
Place was wonderful. Clean beautiful good price. My only complaint is the main bathroom left sink fell in the middle of the night scared my wife half to death. The other thing was above the microwave the plastic vent was broken.

Beautiful Home and Views
Owners did not scrimp on quality of furnishing, decorating and having the best provisioned kitchen we have ever seen. I was pleased and would consider coming back again. Great views.
Be mindful there is construction that often had the entrance blocked causing minor delays and noise.

First Time on Sugar Mt.
This was my first time in the area and I loved the location. You get a beautiful view of the mountains and ski resort from the balcony. The short drive up the mountain can seem a little daunting, but I recommend experiencing it for yourself. The host provided brochures and guides for local entertainment that really came in handy. The location of the condo places you within minutes of various activities and sites. I look forward to booking this condo in the future. This cozy condo is one that I would highly recommend.
I booked the place because it said 2 minute walk to ski lift , it’s a 15 minute drive , also said there was a gym , nope , the master shower had several large mold spots , tile was really dirty , I wish I could post pics , this place is a serious let down , the view is nice ,

This is an excellent property. We particularly enjoyed the balcony/deck with such spectacular views. All of the other amenities were excellent. We arrived late on the day of arrival and retrieved a single key card for the gated property and one key for the door. We did not receive a passcode for the gate, nor for the individual unit's entry door. The door is equipped with a combination lock. The following day we reached out to the VACASA Customer Service Line, and a pleasant young lady assured us that she would get back to us with a solution for both of those needs. She never responded during the balance of the stay. We were able to find a way for either my spouse or myself to remain at the condo, or to leave the property together. A returned communication, with a solution or at least an explanation would have been appreciated. Also, In our discussion with Customer Service we were told that we could return the key and gate pass to the local office at checkout. As we checked out this morning we found that the local office was closed, and we resorted to placing the items in the key drop box.
The property was clean and well appointed. Great sunrises from the deck. From the pictures you get the impression that access from the parking lot is without stairs, but the unit is below grade and you have to manage a flight of stairs.

Fall trip to Sugar Mountain
We had a WONDERFUL time here. It was very relaxing. The entire condo was gorgeous! & beautifully decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped. It was close to grocery stores & restaurants. The beds were comfortable as well. Although we had the lower condo, it didn't feel that way. The views were extraordinary , and breathtaking. We can't wait to go back again.

Stay great! Communication terrible!
Property overall great! Furniture very uncomfortable! Due to storm it was impossible to get info on conditions in the area. Vacasa would not be my preferred provider for vacation rentals.
