The place was neat and organized. We had to leave the day before because of the storm. If you are traveling by car make sure your car is a 4 wheel drive because they kick you out and the police can give you a ticket if you stay.

We had a wonderful time. This place was perfect for our family. We spent most of our time out at the ski resort, but this space was perfect for our family dinners and quiet night after long adventures. The staff downstairs was very helpful and answered all our questions. We already knew about the shuttles for parking so we were prepared. They were easy to access and all drivers were so friendly and accommodating. We also utilized the bus to get to and from the resort. The only thing we wished there was more of was towels but there was a washing machine so that was also utilized. Overall we would stay here again and recommend to friends looking for a convinient place to stay and ski.

We enjoyed our stay, the condo had all the amenities and was adequately stocked, as described. However, housekeeping can definitely improve. We found snack wrappers from previous renters in the living room, dust bunnies, and the floors could definitely use some cleaning. The place appeared to have been "spot" cleaned/vacuumed, as I found so much dust and "trash" under the primary bedroom bed and nightstand, I only saw this because I dropped an earring and had to search for it. That was disappointing, in that the crew doesn't clean effectively, and the owner and renters are counting on this.

Good location, needs renovation, needs more detailed instructions on how to check in, need to list that you are required to shuttle to and from the facility, the cleaning service did not do a great job - red mold in both showers, inside of toilets needed to be cleaned, food from previous stay was in fridge, and candy wrappers in the living room. The view was great and there are not many other places to stay in the area so we would stay here again.

Great sunsets. Nice pool, sauna, hot tub. Parking is easy - shuttles run continuously when lower lots are needed, or you can do a short walk. Can easily walk to top of sugar mtn resort which is much faster than taking the free bus. .

Great location and views

We had a great stay at this facility. This place had amenities for 4 people. We had read that and brought extra towels which helped. We had amazing views from the balcony. The family enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The room had games that the kids enjoyed playing. This was a great central location to many hiking trails that we enjoyed during our stay.
