Charming home on Sugar Mountain with stream

Bigfoot's Creek is a quaint home on Sugar Mountain. A very unique property with a stream running under the front deck and a private gazebo in the sideyard. Truly a home for the outdoor lover with a wooded yard, streams, bridges, and a large deck with a gas firepit. Enter the home and walk into an open-concept living room/kitchen. The ambiance is set by the high tongue and groove ceilings, exposed beams, and large windows. The kitchen area is fully furnished and offers stainless steel appliances. With 5 bedrooms, there is plenty of sleeping space. The master bedroom has a king bed with an ensuite bath and a private deck entrance. There are four guest bedrooms, two with queen beds and two with bunk beds. There are 2 1/2 baths. The owner has stocked the home with plenty of board games to play when you are ready to come inside from your outdoor activities, and has added air conditioning.
Bigfoot's Creek is close to all the amenities that the mountain offers. In less than a 2-mile drive, you can go skiing, tubing, ice skating, golfing, tennis, biking, gem mining, mountain coaster, restaurants, shopping, and more.

So convenient for the slopes

We had a great time! The house was tiny but somehow still had plenty of room for all 10 of us! The squirrel that hangs on a swing in the kitchen was the highlight of the weekend.

Great ski trip

We took the kids up to Sugar Mountain for a few days to ski/snowboard right before Christmas and the house was a perfect place for us to stay. So close to the mountain and so convenient. We had a great time. Just wished the kitchen would have been stocked with a few more cooking items (no sheet pans or cookie sheets) but that didn’t stop us from having a great time!

Great experience

The house is spacious than we initially thought. The location is great and it has large parking space. The check in is easy. Prefer to having the access code earlier before check in time. Overall, it’s great experience to staying in your property. Thank you!

Comfortable

This was our 3rd time staying here and we were so glad to see that they had upgraded the TV. Now if they can just do the same with the living room furniture and full size mattress in the first bedroom, it would be great! Saw a few of what looked like rat droppings in the back of some of the cabinets but overall everything else was clean. Excellent location as long as you don't get too much snow!

Rough around the edges

The house was in a great location but it needs some work for sure. There were several doors, including a bathroom that wouldn’t close or lock. We did stay during a cold snap but one bathroom had frozen pipes and was unusable. All in all it was just okay for what we needed for a ski weekend.

Roomy and relaxing

Everything was as pictured and listed. The area is beautiful and the cabin setting was fantastic with the stream running under the cabin. It was well stocked and we had a great 3 days even though it rained every day. The management was great helping us with a couple of minor issues and even brought new gas tanks for the grill before dinner. We will have this cabin on our list for another trip.

Mountain Air

Very nice house, but no AC unit at all. There were fans in the closets. The master bedroom was awesome! The decks were spacious and gated so our dogs had plenty of room for stretching out and playing. There were plenty of board games available to play. I will say, the downstairs was smaller than it seemed in the pictures. I would rent it again. Overall it was a nice place to stay but it had not been mopped before our arrival.

Very pleasant, cozy stay

Went here with a group of 9 total. We loved the creeks on the property and the seating for outside; we have been taking an annual trip for 3 years now and it is hard to find seating for everybody. Inside we were able to fit everyone on the couches and chairs, with a few people rotating (some of us have joint issues so the seats were uncomfortable for our hips, but that is not an issue with the house). The kitchen is spacious and the island is very roomy. I would recommend bringing your own knives and utensils as many of the knives were not sharpened and some of the utensils did not work well. The windows are easy to use and lock. The bedrooms are nice and everyone was happy to have a bed (also an issue with a large group). There is no dustpan so we had to make do with paper towels, but the house was clean when we arrived and easy to clean when we left. Because we went in the warmer months, the trees had full foliage, which led to the house being dark, and the internal lighting is not great. However, this did not take away from the experience and it definitely seems as though this is more a winter home than a summer home, though it served our purposes excellently. If you have cars I would recommend not pulling into the driveway all the way as storms can cause flooding which may lead to issues with the driveway. Overall very comfortable and pleasant experience.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was decent. No a/c. Probably wouldn't rent it again. Gas bottles run out(not full from the beginning), exterior, grounds, deck need cleaning up. Things in the house were decent. Fair priced. Good area. Rental company was good.

Nice place but no A/C

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Be prepared and bring fans in the summer! There is NO AC. We found two fans for a 5 bedroom place.Place was clean, lots of room for sleeping, layout is nice. The outdoors was peaceful and we enjoyed the deck. Rental Agency only responds via Text, every time we tried to call the number no one answers, we even got transferred to an ice cream shop after following the voice prompt.
