Mountain Retreat

4.84 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviews1 month ago

This is the perfect place to stay if you want a easily accessible place to go skiing at Sugar. My husband and I had a blast on the slope, and it was so nice and convenient to have a place to stay so close and easy to drive to. Kevin was great and very detailed with his instructions and quick to respond to any of our questions. Would definitely recommend!

Newly Renovated Top Floor 2BR with Mountain Views!

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 54 reviews1 month ago

Condo was very comfortable and spacious. Updates to an older unit made it feel really modern. The only FYI I would provide is that each room has a wall heater, which is nice to keep it cozy, but they can be a little loud compared to central heating. The pool/common area was well maintained, obviously older, but in good shape. We would definitely stay again. Host was really responsive to questions.

Ski Sugar Mtn : 2 King New Beds : Incredible View

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviews1 month ago

Great condo with a beautiful view and Stephanie was extremely friendly and prompt with her communication. The only downside was that the hot tub was down for 2 of the 3 days that we were there so maybe check with maintenance before booking to make sure there isn’t any planned maintenance before booking. Other than that it was great. Would definitely book again.

Long range Mtn Views in Boone- close to DT/BR

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews3 months ago

We loved the home. The weather was iffy with the winter storm coming in and we had to leave a day early. But that’s not her fault!!! The cleaning could have been better; especially the tops of furniture. And the water took forever to heat up in the master bath…all in all it was a great place in a great location. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Views are beautiful in the snow!
