Great place close to snow activities
We really enjoyed our stay, the place was so cute and clean. We were close to the snow activities so made it easy to drive down to the slopes to ski and we were back home quickly after a long day. Vacasa was helpful and attentive and fixed a hot water problem immediately. We will definitely come back!

Great location!
The condo was great. We had a few problems that were quickly addressed. The dishwasher did not work, but instead of having someone come out to look at it, we washed the dishes by hand. A dining room chair was missing but it was replaced with a folding card chair. The handle to the main door broke off, but it was replaced. Overall, it was a great little cozy cottage!

Grandsons birthday trip
I came with my son, his wife, and my two of my grandchildren. It was a gift to my 7 year old grandson who wanted to learn how to snowboard, he did really well btw. The place was clean and the perfect distance from Sugar Mountain Resort. I don't ski so it was easy for me to drop them off and come back for a rest. We all really enjoyed the convenience and the view..

It was ok…
Condo needs some updates- location reported is not accurate. The condo is not 0.2 miles away from the entrance of sugar mountain ski resort. Location is up in the mountains which is ok, if you know that’s what to expect, and if you arrive during a snow storm with a 4-wheel vehicle.

Not renting from Vacasa again.
This condo was so stripped down with no extra towels (not even enough for the number of heads listed to sleep there), no extra pillows or blankets in the freezing winter. The windows were drafty and the cleaning was subpar. When I reached out to the listing team, they asked me to be patient with them - but never responded. Refund will be requested.

Amazing view but not much else
We had high expectations from this property. Unfortunately, we were let down. The view is amazing but everything else needs improvement. I have taken pictures of floor boards sticking out in the balcony (trip hazard), broken window handles, undisturbed spiderwebs over coffee mugs, used coffee filter still left in the coffee maker, dead bug in the closet, and many more issues that we spotted as we stayed at the property. After we checked in, the property manager called us to ask about everything. At that time, we had only spotted the broken window handles that prevented us from opening and closing the windows in the children’s room. When I mentioned that, they said that they knew about it and had ordered the parts. So, you are renting a property with three rooms and one of those rooms has no access to air. You know that. Still, instead of foregoing the profit for a few days’ rent and fixing up the property, you go ahead and rent it out anyway. I didn’t like that. As far as cleaning and accommodations, I think the view has been towards the bare minimum. Example: We had to buy some good toilet paper and that’s what we use during our stay. Oh and be aware that the toilet bowls are VERY small; so, Kim K cannot stay here. Sorry Kim. Overall, we enjoyed the view and the fresh air, when we could have it. Unfortunately, we would not come back to this property. My suggestion would be to take the place off the rental market for a period, fix it up, really deep clean, and get rid of all the old/smelly furniture that no one will use but bring the value of the place down (ex. that greenish chest of drawers in the downstairs queen bedroom that smells of stale urine and the cream closet upstairs with the dead bug inside). I hope that is helpful. I tried to be honest. I hope I wasn’t harsh.

Deceptive pricing, cheap amenities, and a bad washer
We don’t usually leave negative reviews because we expect some issues in vacation homes. However, I felt we needed to post this. The condo has a great view and is generally very nice; however, there were several important negatives: 1. Deceptive Pricing: We booked this condo for 8 nights based on the original quote that was posted. When we started booking, the price jumped to twice as much as the original price, and by the end, after fees and taxes, it jumped to 4x the original quoted price. Since we were desperate for a vacation, we decided to go ahead and book, but we expected a great condo after spending so much for the week. Besides the “bait and switch” pricing, the negatives were as follows: 2. Washer: The washer was full of black mold and could not be used. We called several times and the maintenance man tried to clean it, but he said it would probably need a replacement gasket because the mold was so bad. Vacasa/VRBO gave us a small rebate, but I had to spend Christmas day at the coin laundromat. 3. Amenities: The amenities were VERY cheap. The toilet paper and paper towels were terrible; we ended up buying our own. The pans and utensils were also very flimsy and hard to use (nonstick stuck, etc.) The sink stopper did not work (again, very cheap). We were supplied with one set of towels for each person (no extras) and there were not enough pillows for all the beds. We had to buy our own pillows. Also, the upstairs shower had very poor water pressure, so we all used the same shower on the lower floor. 4. Cleaning: One of the pillows in the closet had a large blood stain on it and the shower curtain had mold stains all over the bottom. Overall, the issues seem to be with the Vacasa service – for the price, they should provide better quality amenities and assure a clean condo. I don’t think we will be booking a Vacasa home again.

Property was excellent, management company was challenging
We loved the property! It was wonderful, well stocked and very clean! We had to call and email several times to get our identity “verified” by the management company since the online process did not work. I highly recommend the property, but would go out of my way to stay at property that did not use Vacasa as a management company next time.

Nice condo. Overall nice and clean with the exception of one bed that one family member wouldnt sleep in because of ‘hair on the sheets’ when she pulled the bedding back to get ready for bed. Hot water only lasted for one shower....turns out the breaker was turned off—-but ‘someone’ forgot to turn it back on for us orior our stay. This was disconcerting. We called the vacasa help line. They told —us — to chk the breaker as they couldnt send anyone out due to COVID. Fortunately, this is all it was.

Could’ve been better
Called Vacasa from the app Thursday regarding a smoking outlet and a clogged bathroom sink. Alex from Vacasa Sugar Mountain texted me promptly and asked a couple of question about what was going on. Maintenance came and said he needed a “snake” for the downstairs bathroom sink, so he left saying he’d come back. Over an hour or so later, an electrician came over to address the outlet smoking. He was pleasant and “fixed” the issue, but told us we couldn’t use the microwave and any other appliance in an outlet on the same wall. The good thing was that this addressed the smoking outlet issue (not really), however, the outlets that share that wall in the second bedroom stopped working. There’s clearly some larger electrical issue in the house, some outlets don’t work while others leave your chargers hot after a few hours. Alex texted me hour later asking if the electrician fixed the issue, I said no but he stopped the smoking. When I asked him if maintenance was coming back that same night he never responded. I called Vacasa the next morning (Friday) and told them that the bathroom sink was still clogged and the toilet in that same bathroom wasn’t working. The receptionist said she’d forward the call to the Sugar Mountain team, the same team who reached out about the electrical issue, but I never heard from anyone on Friday. Saturday morning, after some rain and snow through the night, there was a leak in the ceiling. I would’ve reported this, too, but the office is closed Wednesdays and Saturdays according to the house manual. So, between Thursday and Sunday I never heard from anyone who represents Vacasa. That was so unprofessional. Other things that were inconvenient: 2 lights over a sink in the upstairs bathroom not working, the WiFi being shoddy and working when it wants to, the ice maker in the refrigerator not working, and the shared wall between the neighbors shaking when they come down their stairs. I was told they “expanded their cleaning measures overall which increases the time our housekeepers spend caring for each Vacasa home” but things were dirty & dusty upon arrival. The ceiling fans were gross, especially the one in the master room upstairs. Clearly hadn’t been cleaned in months. The location is conveniently close to the mountain and other local attractions plus it has a great view, especially at sunrise.... but it’s not worth your money for the lack of cleanliness and other issues.

Better than we even hoped for!
This property is fantastic! The views are breathtaking, it's very cozy and clean, and the king bed was super comfy. Loved the large updated master bathroom as well. The location worked for everything we wanted to do. My only wish was that there were more kitchen supplies or maybe better/upgraded kitchen supplies and utensils. We cooked a lot at night and it was tough with what was available.
