We spend most weekends on the slopes and continue to try new places to stay (slope side) each weekend. We've stayed at Sugar Ski and Country Club twice this year. Our first visit we stayed in a Deluxe room (decor was outdated to my preference but room was clean and all appliances worked fine). This past weekend we tried a... More

We've been coming to sugar mountain for over 11 years. Most of our stays have been in the condos at the top of Big Red. My expectations are reasonable. I expect clean reasonably stocked accommodations in working order. Sugar Mountain Ski and County Club has failed to meet even these basic expectations.I booked a deluxe category of room, and am...

I was glad I had the oppoturnity to speak with you before you left and address your concerns in unit 536...not 535. Again, I wish you would have called on Sunday when you checked in as we have staff here all day that could have addressed the tripped breaker, loose screws in two dining chairs and added the items from...

We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom 2 bath condos right on big red slope. We were so disappointed that the lift was not open, but were then so happy that the walk to upper mile was short and flat. Even with the walk, i was happy to not to have to drive to the bottom of the slope.... More

For the money spent I would rather be someplace else. It has great potential to be a nice place. Our room had a Whirlpool tub in living room but the hot water tank could not support it so it was a cold whirlpool. not even enough Hot water for a Hot bath after a long day on the slopes., Which......they...

Hi Mary, So sorry you had an unpleasant visit. Even after we changed out the element in the hot water heater during your stay, it appears it did not do the trick and I will have the owner work on a replacement. The unit is just steps from Big Red which normally opens Christmas week for the season. When you... More

This is my 2nd time to Sugar Ski & Country Club. We rented a condo unit for the weekend. It was a 1 bedroom 1 bath, super cozy and comfortable. Perfect for my husband and I for a romantic weekend. The weather is great in September around 60 during the day. Perfect weather for hiking. You can simply get on... More

This resort is only an hour from our home and my husband bought this week for me to relax and recover from a terrible cold, giving me an opportunity to just rest and get well. I stayed in Building 1 and I haven't told my husband what a miserable trip it was. There are numerous steps to climb to this... More

Greetings! I am so sorry your stay at Sugar Ski was disappointing. All our units except for 4, out of a total of 171, have stairs. Unfortunately, the one bedroom building has more than any other building but it is close to the clubhouse and has great views. The kitchens are compact and the units are designed to sleep 4... More

We had an efficiency condo (with kitchen and fireplace) in building 10 which is just a short walk to the Big Red intermediate lift/slope. It is in a gated community that has an indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna in the visitors center (a separate building that is a little walk, but not too far). It had one bed and... More

So glad you enjoyed your stay! I have many owners planning to replace their sofa sleepers and/or the mattress on their existing units during the off season. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you next year! Hope Harvey, Sugar Ski Manager More

The condo 10-401 was clean but very small. The electric heater was loud and the room was either too hot or too cold. The snow machines at the top of the mountain are extremely loud and run all night long. The description lead us to believe we were slope side which was true, but we were at the top of... More

We stayed in an efficency unit. It was small, but comfortable. The price was reasonable & being slope side made it convenient. My only caveat to that is you are slopeside at the top of a blue (intermediate) ski run. So if you or someone in your party is not up to skiing at that that level, you will need... More
