    Beautiful house but not the cleanest and the hot tub didn’t work. Besides that we loved the house

    We stayed here for a Christmas weekend with our family and grandparents, and I rarely leave reviews—but this experience demands one. The home itself is just okay and needs major updating, but the real problem is the management company’s total lack of care.They advertise that AWD/4WD is enough, but this property should NOT be rented in inclement weather at all. All of our 4WD vehicles struggled; one got stuck immediately and had to be towed. The driveway, hills, and switchbacks are dangerous and completely misrepresented.We arrived to a non-working door code, a refrigerator that never got cold, and no response from management despite multiple calls. They kept “making tickets” but never followed up or sent help.Both vehicles got stuck again the next evening, forcing our very YOUNG kids and grandparents (over 70) to walk uphill in snow and freezing temps. Trying to get in touch with them again and still no call back from management.Ironically, the only time they contacted us was to make sure we’d be out by 10am for a showing—because the home is for sale. Unreal.House issues included: broken hot tub (told 2 hours before arrival), musty and cold downstairs, mold in the bathroom, poor heating, malfunctioning TVs, spiders, and drafty windows.It’s clear the owner has stopped maintaining this home, and the management company doesn’t care. I will never rent from Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals again and wouldn’t recommend this home to anyone.

    What a lovely place to celebrate our Christmas in the beautiful mountains. This home suited our needs perfectly and we had so much fun. The proximity to both Sugar and Beech mountains for skiing were excellent. We even decorated the home’s decor cactus as our Christmas tree (see photo attached). Thank you for a great memory. We will definitely book with Blue Ridge Rentals again!

    Myself and a group of friend stayed at Sugar bear Lodge for our annual cabin trip. We loved the location and the house. The common spaces were large enough to accommodate a large group with out feeling crowded. The kitchen was also well equipped. The hot tub, firepit, pool table, and other games gave us plenty to do and were in great condition! The only thing that I would point out is that the 3 bedrooms in the basement are all connecting, so you have to walk through a bedroom to get to another bedroom and the bathroom. For some groups this might be uncomfortable and I dont feel like I could really tell how the bedrooms were connected from the pictures. Although we would definitely stay again!

    We really enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. Our guests just kept looking at the house and saying “This house is so nice! It’s amazing!” And I agree. We had a really fun weekend with the gang.
