We apologize for the tv and the fireplace, we were unaware of these issues as not one guest has had any issues. We have no control over the amenities at Sugartop. We wish you had reached out to us as we could have made corrections

Such an amazing stay!!

My husband and I so enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was such a convenient/quick trip to the local ski resort, the condo was so clean, had so many amenities and the view was to die for. Also, they have decorated the condo so wonderfully and it really gives you that sweet cozy cabin vibe. Can’t say enough good things!!!

Great time on sugar mountain

The owners were very accommodating after a mixup on our check-in. The unit was clean and as advertised. The inside pool and spa were great after a day of skiing. Views from the balcony were beautiful. I would recommend the rental to anybody going to the area.

Best Christmas on The Mountain!!

The condo was perfect for our Christmas vacation. The owner had the place spotless and perfectly decorated for Christmas Day. My wife and I took my little girl here for the big day. The views are spectacular and it feels just like your in a log cabin. The host are so friendly and they helped make our stay that much better. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a perfect mountain top adventure with views to die for!!
