You have to clean

The bathroom was not clean. The room did not look like the one I rented, and the main thing is that the bathroom ceiling had dark stains that looked like mold. Oh, and you have to clean it before leaving the place, which I only found out after I checked in and they gave me a paper saying that I have to clean the fireplace if I use it and take the trash out of the apartment and throw it in a trash can 300 meters away.

The unit was very spacious and the amenities (pool, hot tub, and game room) convenient and accessible. The location was perfect for us, as we were there to visit the Sugar Mountain Resort (only a couple miles down the road). The unit was not clean at all. Hair in the showers and sinks. Dirty under the beds and couches. The dishwasher was full of dishes from a previous. The walls and floors are old and not maintained. The refrigerator smelled horrible. We only stayed for a few nights and ate at the local restaurants, but the refrigerator smelled horrible, just for using it for keepung our bottled water. We returned one night after night skiing and the refrigerator smelled so bad, we had to turn on the microwave vent to help air out the kitchen.

Property was good, but the following need to be addressed: Some dirty pans and dishes. Some pans had buildup on the bottom with no steel or sos pans to clean them. No dishwashing soap to clean dishes or silverware and no silverware basket to put them in the dishwasher. Burners on electric stove did dot fit and were not able to be leveled and only 2 of the burners could be used. The mattress is old and somewhat lumpy. Bedspread did not seem to be clean.

Gives you the cabin feels. Perfect for a Ski trip!

The place is older but completely redone. Everything was great. The only thing is that the ceiling is paper thin and you hear the people above you.
