Downstairs are the pool table, Pac-Man arcade, and working jukebox. A kitchen area with microwave and full size fridge are perfect for storing and making snacks. A second full laundry room is downstairs, as well. There are two more king bedrooms, each with a TV. They each have access to a private sink and then a shared full bathroom with combination tub/shower. The final bedroom has two twin beds.

On the main level deck you’ll have beautiful mountain view’s. Sit in the large rockers while someone cooks dinner on the grill with granite counters.

Absolutely stunning location! Our group loved waking up and sitting out on the proch with coffee. The fire pit was also a great hit. The view is fantastic and the house felt very private. The kitchen was stocked with all of the pots & pans our group needed, which made cooking meals for a large group easy. The host was very responsive and the house was exactly as described. We will be back!

Family and friends ski getaway
We had several family and close friends that wanted to get away for an extended weekend of skiing. The house fit our needs perfectly! We had ample space to hang out together but not all be right on top of one another. Our children’s ages range from 7-15, and there was plenty of space as well as activities in the house to keep everyone entertained. A great property to rent!!

Sugar Mountain Ski Trip
First off, we had a fantastic time at this property. The location to the resort is amazing. My family has been coming to this area during this time of the year for well over 10 years. This is definitely the most well appointed rental we have ever stayed in. Our only negative was the trash situation. However it was not enough for me to deduct any stars.
