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.
