About this property
Charming home on Sugar Mountain with stream
Bigfoot's Creek is a quaint home on Sugar Mountain. A very unique property with a stream running under the front deck and a private gazebo in the sideyard. Truly a home for the outdoor lover with a wooded yard, streams, bridges, and a large deck with a gas firepit. Enter the home and walk into an open-concept living room/kitchen. The ambiance is set by the high tongue and groove ceilings, exposed beams, and large windows. The kitchen area is fully furnished and offers stainless steel appliances. With 5 bedrooms, there is plenty of sleeping space. The master bedroom has a king bed with an ensuite bath and a private deck entrance. There are four guest bedrooms, two with queen beds and two with bunk beds. There are 2 1/2 baths. The owner has stocked the home with plenty of board games to play when you are ready to come inside from your outdoor activities, and has added air conditioning. Bigfoot's Creek is close to all the amenities that the mountain offers. In less than a 2-mile drive, you can go skiing, tubing, ice skating, golfing, tennis, biking, gem mining, mountain coaster, restaurants, shopping, and more.

We really enjoyed our stay. The stream out front was beautiful and our kids enjoyed playing around it while we were there. The house was comfortable with lots of games and puzzles and the location was awesome. Very central and close to all the things we wanted to do and see. The house could stand a little updating/love with the master shower being tricky and just some chipping paint and wear around the house but all of that was quite minor. We would happily stay again.
Reality company handling property very responsive. Let them know about bathroom doors not locking and dusty under stuff, and they said they would be on. Property (especially the stream) very nice & the set up of the bedrooms is great.
We had a wonderful time. The house was very spacious and gorgeous views. Perfect location for the sky resort. The shuttle bus service was so convenient too. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful place with us
Plenty of room for our family of 8. With a fan in each room, nights were cool and comfortable. Great location for our needs.

Only issue was doors inside not shutting and locking
The house is spacious than we initially thought. The location is great and it has large parking space. The check in is easy. Prefer to having the access code earlier before check in time. Overall, it’s great experience to staying in your property. Thank you!
Everything was as pictured and listed. The area is beautiful and the cabin setting was fantastic with the stream running under the cabin. It was well stocked and we had a great 3 days even though it rained every day. The management was great helping us with a couple of minor issues and even brought new gas tanks for the grill before dinner. We will have this cabin on our list for another trip.
This was our 3rd time staying here and we were so glad to see that they had upgraded the TV. Now if they can just do the same with the living room furniture and full size mattress in the first bedroom, it would be great! Saw a few of what looked like rat droppings in the back of some of the cabinets but overall everything else was clean. Excellent location as long as you don't get too much snow!

Very nice house, but no AC unit at all. There were fans in the closets. The master bedroom was awesome! The decks were spacious and gated so our dogs had plenty of room for stretching out and playing. There were plenty of board games available to play. I will say, the downstairs was smaller than it seemed in the pictures. I would rent it again. Overall it was a nice place to stay but it had not been mopped before our arrival.
Went here with a group of 9 total. We loved the creeks on the property and the seating for outside; we have been taking an annual trip for 3 years now and it is hard to find seating for everybody. Inside we were able to fit everyone on the couches and chairs, with a few people rotating (some of us have joint issues so the seats were uncomfortable for our hips, but that is not an issue with the house). The kitchen is spacious and the island is very roomy. I would recommend bringing your own knives and utensils as many of the knives were not sharpened and some of the utensils did not work well. The windows are easy to use and lock. The bedrooms are nice and everyone was happy to have a bed (also an issue with a large group). There is no dustpan so we had to make do with paper towels, but the house was clean when we arrived and easy to clean when we left. Because we went in the warmer months, the trees had full foliage, which led to the house being dark, and the internal lighting is not great. However, this did not take away from the experience and it definitely seems as though this is more a winter home than a summer home, though it served our purposes excellently. If you have cars I would recommend not pulling into the driveway all the way as storms can cause flooding which may lead to issues with the driveway. Overall very comfortable and pleasant experience.

House was decent. No a/c. Probably wouldn't rent it again. Gas bottles run out(not full from the beginning), exterior, grounds, deck need cleaning up. Things in the house were decent. Fair priced. Good area. Rental company was good.

Be prepared and bring fans in the summer! There is NO AC. We found two fans for a 5 bedroom place.Place was clean, lots of room for sleeping, layout is nice. The outdoors was peaceful and we enjoyed the deck. Rental Agency only responds via Text, every time we tried to call the number no one answers, we even got transferred to an ice cream shop after following the voice prompt.
We loved this place. The pictures dont do it justice. It's better in person. It is older but does provide a roof over your head and heat and air and that is all that really matters.
4 adults, 2 small children, we had plenty of room.

This house was in a great location , however we would not stay again . We shared this space with two other couples . The bed space was limited . The host advertised two queen beds and one was clearly a double bed . Even upon leaving we found the sheets said double on them . We also found all beds to be very uncomfortable. The house was not clean , there was evidence of water damage throughout. The kitchen was well stocked and the creek under the house was very nice . There is a wood burning fireplace . You must provide the wood . Overall we had a great time but the beds certainly need to be replaced and the couch was broken as well .
House was in a great location for our trip. It fit our needs. There are some cosmetic issues in the house but nothing that would keep me from recommending a stay. We enjoyed the creek that runs across the property.
We had a great time! The house was tiny but somehow still had plenty of room for all 10 of us! The squirrel that hangs on a swing in the kitchen was the highlight of the weekend.
