Large condo, good location
This condo is well located, clean and spacious. The people who manage the property are very nice. The location is great. You can see the slopes from the living room. Very short drive, or walk through the woods to Sugar.

For that reason alone I wouldn’t rent this unit again.

Comfortable and quaint
We enjoyed it! We could see the magic carpet and slopes through the trees. It was just a short walk to the bridge over the creek to the resort which was convenient. The walk back up can be brutal with sore legs though. The unit had the bedding arrangements needed. The living room sofas aren’t the most comfortable, but we settled in as a group nicely. I’d recommend it for ease of use alone.

Summer trip
Property was your typical mountain cabin with everything you would need for your stay. We had a good time and I have no complaints. Only thing to keep in mind for those wanting a cabin they can actually ski in/out of..this is not it. The cabin is on a high slope surrounded by dense trees. So altho its very close and u can see the parking lot of sugar mountain. You certainly can't ski or ride to the cabin. From the slope. You have to drive there

Great location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was the perfect amount of space for 4 adults and 3 children. The rental had a musty smell, the upstairs toilet had mildew black stuff in it upon arrival, and the microwave did not work or it was an electrical issue, and the water went ice cold after being in the shower for 5 minutes which made hygiene difficult. Other than that it was fine,. There were a variety of bed firmness levels, the beds were clean and cozy.

Not my favorite
Parking was a hassle. There are no ensuite bathrooms. The bedrooms are very strangely laid out. The primary bedroom has no closet. The other upstairs bedroom only has very small windows at the floor level. And the whole place could use a very good cleaning. It’s an old property. Which I understand, but the accumulation of dirt and dust is what I have a problem with.

Cozy and cute with amazing views but be prepared to BYO basics
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved the place, the views, the layout. All good. Check in was easy. The only knock on this place versus others we've stayed in was the simple courtesies were not there. No hair dryer so if you washed your hair air dry only! It was snowing!! Yikes. Cold. No salt and pepper or dish soap. So can't clean dishes in sink just a block for the dishwasher. No trash bags. The frying pan was terrible but this seems to be a trend in VRBO places so I will now travel with my own. Lessons learned. It was a challenge so we had to make do. All that said we loved the place. It only needs to hear these issues and hopefully make improvements to help their guests with simple basics of a rental. On location- The walking path to ski slopes has been boarded up with a high fence blocking it off by neighboring property. You have to take a new make shift treacherous path that has roots and a large fallen tree down which you have to climb over which dumps you into a parking lot where it's hard to get around when carrying skis with the parked cars. It felt dangerous at night in the snow so guests should be prepared and I recommend owners of condos negotiate with neighbor to get path open again or at least get the new longer path safer and remove massive tree. All things said, we'd rent this place again. I'll just be more prepared!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was perfect. You could see the slopes from the large living room window and the upstairs master. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Be aware the loft is a straight up ladder and very small. My 6’6” so did manage to sleep up there 2 nights. Moved downstairs last night. I would pick this location again.

Great location for skiing
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is somewhat updated and was clean. However, The kitchen wasn’t very well stocked. No medium size pots and the pans were very worn and no scrubbies to clean them with. There was snow and ice on the steps and porch and it didn’t seem that any salt or sand had been put down so it was very treacherous getting in & out. The location is great if you’re skiing as you can walk to the slopes and see the beginner slope from the window.

Nice place with good location for walking to slopes.
The property was great and good location! Only took about 2 minutes to walk to Easy Street slope. The only complaint I have is the water heater could not keep up. At about 10 minutes of running or 2nd person showering the water gets cold. This was after we realized on the first night both showers could only run at the same time for about 5 minutes. But we managed by running it a little cooler and spacing out showers.

Great location
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: Really great location, cute condo. Loved our stay. Check in was smooth, although having more than one key (Or a code instead of a key) would have been better. Our only complaint was that we accidentally left 5 of our cups (reusable water bottles, yeti cups, etc) in the fridge and didn't realize until we'd turned our key in. We know this was entirely our fault but the lady in the office would not allow us to go back and check or even call the cleaner and see if they had them. We realize we forgot them, but a small amount of effort would have gone a long way. They did say they would check and get back to us, but it's been several weeks and they have not.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall good. The mirrors in both bathrooms are too low. I’m 6-4 and both mirrors cut me off at the chin. I practically had to sit on the floor to comb my hair. Neither bathroom had a plunger. The kitchen needs a microwave bacon dish. The upstairs bathroom has a cheap toilet seat lid which broke when I sat on it.

Great Views
This cabin is a great little mountain getaway. We had plenty of beds and plenty of space to spread out. We loved watching the skiers on Sugar Mountain through the huge living room window, and the kids loved playing in the loft. The fireplace was cozy and relaxing. We used the cabin as a central location for snow tubing, Tweetsie Railroad, and a visit to a Christmas tree farm. We had to call the property manager and his response was quick and efficient. We definitely recommend Hemlock Nob!
