When you envision a mountain vacation, this is it! This cozy cabin in the woods is cute as a button. Not too big, not to small, secluded feel, but not secluded at all! There's woodwork throughout, a stone front gas log fireplace, a cozy living/kitchen/dining space plus a sunroom with a wall of windows looking out into the woods. Enjoy the sun-soaked deck during the day and lounging around the fireplace at night! And while it feels secluded, the cabin is on Sugar Mountain, so it is very convenient to all activities, attractions and events.

Great location!

Overall the property was fabulous because of the location! First impression all seemed very clean but once settled we realized it hadn’t been perfectly cleaned. We also didn’t have an outside trash receptacle to put our trash in when leaving. We would’ve appreciated direction in which baseboard heat dial worked for which room and the fireplace did not work. More (clean) pots and pans would be appreciated for when not going out to eat. The sunroom was our favorite room!! Beautiful!

Mix experience

Pros: Great location, the house was very clean. It was quite. Pet gates everywhere were very helpful and a small fenced area was great. Cons: As having no AC we found it was hot and stuffy upon arrival with some intence smell downstairs. The temos outside were comfortable so we thought it would not be an issue. We tried to open all the windows to get some air but it took few hours before it cooled down to some cofort level. The sunroom with the dining tavle has no windows to open so it remained pretty hot during the day. The main features that we were attracted were decks on the main and lower level. The main deck was locked with no access to it. The lower deck was dirty and full of debris and looked liked it wasn't cleaned up in a while. Frying pens had seen better days, and turned out to be unusable. It us a very small upgrade I would recommend to do so your tenants do not get frustrated. And the worse part: we contacted Vacasa immediately upon arrival by phone and the texts as Vacasa team were asking us how was everything upon our checking in. Thinking that those issue were easy fixes and if we address it in a timely manner everyone could be happy. We voiced all our concerns and were assured over the phone and via texts someone will be contacting us, come in and resolve it on Saturday morning. Well... nothing happened, no word, phone call, no follow up. It was the most disappointing part

Mts. Get away.

The only problem we had was with the digital door locks and getting in the house.. The two key boxes on the right and one on the left was a little confusing. But house keeping came out and explained how to get into the house. There is a faucet in the kitchen that is difficult to turn all the way off. It keeps leaking. Otherwise everything was great.

DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE IN THE SUMMER

The good: location, house was clean The very bad: This house has no A/C, which is really OK at this altitude, but this home also has a humidity problem in the basement - which means they need dehumidifiers. Apparently, before we arrived, there was a dehumidifier in the basement that overflowed and soaked the carpet at the base of the stairs - so much that the whole basement smelled musky and the smell came upstairs. With no AC, you couldn't be in the house overnight without opening the windows to both get a draft of cool air and get some of the musky smell out - so using the dehumidifiers with windows open was not an option that made any sense. It boggles my mind that the local Vacasa staff thought this home was OK to rent - this was our first and last time using vacasa for a vacation rental. To be fair, the vacasa staff did come out and look at it when we called, but there was really nothing they could do while we were there - this place should never have been rented in the state it was in.

Loving setting, great location, basic home

The location and setting were beautiful. We spent most of our cabin time in a lovely sun room that overlooked the forest. Loved the gas fireplace. Laundry was a great convenience. Did not like the beds (dip in middle of queen beds) , only 4 towels for family of four. Poor carpets (stains). Not an onsite trash can...we had to drive over a mile away to dispose of daily trash.

Relax Time

We loved this cabin. It has a great location if you want to visit nearby towns. It has a quiet neighborhood. The only thing is that they don’t have a big garbage can outside the cabin so you need to take the garbage to the main center which is about 3 miles away.

Perfect getaway place!

I must say I was truly intrigued with this home because it was so neat and clean. The scenery was breathtaking as well as serene. My family and I enjoyed all the amenities available but our favorite area was the enclosed deck overlooking the back yard. I certainly recommend this location to any small family who would like a private and peaceful getaway. This was our first time in the area and this home was the perfect distance from everywhere we wanted to visit.
