A Blissful Escape at Elk Hill Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I recently had the pleasure of staying at Elk Hill Retreat in Sugar Mountain with a group of 10 family members, including 3 under 10 years old. I'm here to spill the tea on this gem of a property. Buckle up, because it's a bit of a rollercoaster!Let me start with what stole our hearts – the views. Oh boy, those views! Elk Hill Retreat is perched atop a hill about 6 min from the Sugar Mountain resort, offering panoramic scenes that will make your jaw drop. I'm talking about waking up to the sun kissing the peaks and winding down with the most breathtaking sunset you can imagine. It's like Mother Nature decided to show off, and Elk Hill is the front-row seat.We were a group of 11, and there was room for everyone and then some. No elbow-jabbing or awkward bathroom sharing situations here. The property is spacious, both inside and out. The living areas are cozy without feeling cramped, and the bedrooms – oh, the bedrooms! Comfy beds, fresh linens – they nailed the whole "home away from home" vibe.But the real MVPs were the thoughtful touches. Board games? Check. Bedding? Check. Dishes, cooking utensils, and spices? Triple check! It was like they read our minds and anticipated our every need. We had a master chef in our group, and the well-stocked kitchen made our culinary adventures a breeze. Imagine whipping up a feast while gazing at those mountain views – talk about a recipe for happiness.Look, I won't sugarcoat the issues with the property management company. They were a bit slack in the communication and follow-through department. There were times when we felt a bit in the dark, playing a waiting game for responses and waiting until the last minute for directions and final instructions. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it did add a sprinkle of frustration to an otherwise perfect stay.Despite the communication hiccup, our time at Elk Hill Retreat was nothing short of stellar.

Elk Hill Retreat

We stayed at this Elk Hill Retreat home, overall the home/neighborhood is pretty good, located on top of a steep hill with great views. Bathrooms are kind of dated. The check in process was kind of hectic as check in as at 4pm and we did not get to have access until almost an hour later (and check out at 10 sharp) the lady at the management office was very busy and was getting slammed with calls.

Such a great house for a big group!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Check in experience was quick, easy, and people were great. House was easy to find but make sure you have good tires! We were a group of 10 girls and felt like there was more than enough space for everyone. The wrap around deck and view was breathtaking and unbeatable. I would recommend this house to anyone and will definitely be back!!
