This place lied about having A/C. The refrigerator turns on, but doesn’t make anything cold. If you look at the screen door it falls out of its tracks. Only half of the outlets in the unit work. Staying here is basically camping with running water. Nice furniture though

I guess you get what you pay for. I was looking for somewhere cheap to spend the night and that’s exactly what I got. This place is old and rundown and has lots of damage broken mirrors, scratched walls, rusty pipes, and broken toilet fixtures.

Condo was clean, but AC was turned way up and we had no way to turn it down. The electronic lock didn't work and it took forever to get access to the home. Deck was under construction and we were not able to use it. Very disappointed we weren't notified about that before the rental.

6/10

When we arrived only one bed had sheets on it. We called and let them know that we did not have enough sheets. They said they would take care of it. We finally had to borrow sheets from the friends we were visiting. Still waiting on sheets!

The apartment is very "Home-y" in a good way. We arrived during a snow storm so the steps were a bit dangerous (you will be doing a lot of climbing with suitcases, etc., as it's on the bottom floor.) The location next to the slopes is fantastic. My family and I really enjoyed ourselves at this apartment. The Pros: The Fireplace was PERFECT. Gas logs that are easy to turn on and off, kept the room warm and cozy and made the atmosphere very rustic and home-y. The Location was great and convenient. Fun watching people go down the slopes and up the lifts. The Cons: The floors are a bit cold as it's tiled (bedrooms are carpet). Wear socks or you'll be chilly. The furniture was a little worn out. The kitchen was dark and very small. It served it's purpose though. There was a giant crack on the mirror (closet) in the kids room. Might want to have that fixed before a child gets cut on it. BRING YOUR OWN TRASH BAGS. Important. Glad we brought our own because the ones provided at the apartment are worthless. They are cheap, too small, and easily rip apart. All in all the apartment was nice to stay but a little pricey.

We had a wonderful time at Bee Branch 4. The location was perfect for our family. The easy access to the slopes made it easy to take breaks and maximize our time on the slopes!!!!

10/10

Perfect location for our family ski trip. We loved to watch the skiers from our window and the night skiing was amazing. Gas fire place was always cozy to come and warm after a day of skiing. It was clean with basic toiletries provided ( soap, shampoo, conditioner..) We would definitely stay again!

Cute place and good location. Overall a cute place but it really needed some TLC. Problems we ran into. 1) Gas logs wouldn’t work. 2) Master Bedroom sheets looked like they hadn’t been changed. After turning back the covers , found multiple hairs in the bed and sheets were very wrinkled where someone else had slept. Management office was closed and After hours chat said that they would put a ticket in for the problem but suggested that we wash the sheets. Had to go to the store and by detergent and wash the sheets. Not acceptable! 3) Railing on back deck was very shaky and needed repair. Wouldn’t stay here again and feel that we deserve a partial refund for the inconvenience for our one night stay of $277!

Unit was much smaller, darker and dated than we thought from the pictures, and we were unable to use the fireplace. We did like level parking access and creek area behind the unit.

Great access to Sugar Mtn Resort for Octoberfest and close to Grandfather Mtn. Unit is lacking some basic supplies/ammenities such as bath mats, soap, kitchen mits, etc so be sure to bring EVERYTHING (other than bed sheets) you may need for your visit. Entrance is very dark and hazardous at night. The unit is a typical ski condo showing wear and tear. We enjoyed our visit and would consider staying again.

Good place to stay but a little hard to find the door. Kitchen was a little tight but thats normal for the area. Clean place to stay a bit on the older side

This was a great Condo. It had everything we needed and really made our visit enjoyable. It is decorated with fun furniture that made you feel that you were in a cabin setting. The balcony has a view of the chairlift and slopes where we were able to watch the mountain bike riders as they came down the slopes.

This unit was adequate, nothing more. I would not rent it again. Bedrooms were o.k. Kitchen very small but adequate. For us, there were too many stairs getting to the unit, next time we rent it will be level with the parking area. Wi-fi reception was good. The unit in the pictures appears larger than it is. 2nd bathroom was very small, the shower door did not close completely, Someone forgot to leave enough toilet paper and no extra anywhere in the unit. We never could get a working e-lock code and instead of waiting around for maintenance, we opted to live with it(for 3 nights), as the back sliding glass door could not be locked and if need be we could access the unit by that(by sliding down a rocky hill and walking up the stairs to the unit). The unit appeared to be in a very safe area so we felt comfortable with that decision. Lots of small inconveniences. If it were not for the Vacasa staff who answered my calls quickly, I would give it a 2 star rating.
