Can't Beat the Views!

Excellent property, very clean, beautifully decorated, and well stocked. At the top of the Summit in The Reserve, with a short walk to the ski lift. Highly recommended. Roads are well maintained during the winter. We had a fabulous quick trip, love the area, starting to make Sugar Mountain a routine visit, and would enjoy staying here again. Thank YOU for sharing your lovely condo with us!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was clean, with comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen. The view from the balcony was incredible to watch the sunset every night. We used it for a ski vacation and it was a short walk to the top of the slope. The rental management company, RRR, was very easy to communicate with and work with. They were so friendly and accomodating. We will make a return to this place next year for another vacation.

Beautiful property! Just a few notes

Just wanted to say first, the view is absolutely gorgeous. Waking up to the mountain range just outside the window was the absolute best part of this trip. The drive up the mountain was curvy but not scary or dangerous (even in my front wheel drive Corolla) in the middle of March. A little snow on the ground but the roads are maintained wonderfully. Grocery store and restaurants nearby, very convenient. However, the soap in all the bathrooms was watered down to the point that it basically wasn’t soap anymore. I pulled one of the cookie sheets out to cook a pizza on and it was visibly caked with grease, I thought it was just rust/wear but when I swiped my finger it was leftover food residue. I also tried to contact the host during my stay, but since I was staying over a weekend Fri-Sun, no one answered any of my messages or called me back until I was already in another city on Monday. It wasn’t a big deal for me personally but if I had any serious issues, it would scare me to not be able to get in contact with anyone.
