Laughing keeps you young

Pictures were definitely deceiving, driveway was much steeper than anticipated. House was cozy, beds were uncomfortable. Kitchen was well stocked, but looked much larger in pictures. We were 7, table only sat 6 with small, uncomfortable chairs. Hot tub was miles away, I have one at home 2 feet from door!

Really nice place! Would return.

As someone who has stayed at dozens of properties, this was a really well appointed place. Everything worked great and was perfect for two families (four adults, two kids). Fantastic view, hot tub was great, fire pit right next to the porch for easy access. Gas fireplace. HOA had a bus that takes you to and from the resort if you don't want to park in Lot #6 on a Saturday. The only issue people may have is getting up and down the mountain in adverse weather as well as getting in and out of the driveway. It honestly wasn't an issue for us but could imagine it being difficult to get used to if someone hasn't ever navigated mountain terrain. Property management was extremely responsive. Would definitely return to this property.

Christmas at Sugar Bear

We were there for the 10 inch snowfall Christmas Day. My issue is that for the 5 days we were there, we were provided 2 garbage bags and no snow shovel. So if we wanted to, we couldn't get out of the driveway due to the snow/ice. I called the property manager who promptly told me it was the cabin owner's responsibility for driveway plowing. So, no help and we're on our own. We luckily found a shovel from a neighbor and spend half a day digging our way out so we could leave on the day we were supposed to. Maybe the owner could actually provide some items (salt, shovel, plow service) so we didn't have to stress. We certainly paid enough money for the stay.

Cozy and Comfortable

Our family stayed at the cabin from Sunday to Friday. Everything was clean and charming. We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. Unless you plan to ski, snowboard or tube every day, a week is a long time to stay here. We were in need of some much needed down time and were perfectly fine for a week, however the "snow" activities are all that is available in the area.

Everything you need

We could have stayed for a week and never wanted for anything. Beautiful area and well-decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped. Got there a couple of hours early and was easily admitted by calling property manager.
