This was an amazing experience. The room was extremely clean, comfortable beds, the decor was out of a magazine. The staff was helpful, the food and drinks at the restaurant were top notch. I would not change a thing! I look forward to visiting again!

The Highlands at Sugar
Very clean!!! Staff was so friendly and ease to get to the ski mountain was perfect. The unit is older but I feel like that’s how it is with most ski places and adds to the charm!
