A family vacation to Sugar Mountain never looked so good! It will be just the place for outdoorsy families or a group of skiers alike. Make the most of fresh powder less than a mile from your front door in the winter and indulge in hiking or mountain biking when the warmer weather uncovers pristine trails nearby. For even more adventure, head to Grandfather Mountain State Park, eight miles away, and check out the Mile High Swinging Bridge! Plus, Banner Elk is just four miles north, where you will find various local shops and restaurants to check out.

Boasting a fun lofted layout, plenty of space for the whole gang to spread out, and easy access to the slopes nearby, there will be no dull moments on this getaway. Start each day with crisp mountain air and the sound of the birds in the trees with a cup of coffee on the private deck. Before heading out for full days of fun, hop into the well-equipped kitchen and whip up a tasty meal to fuel up. When everyone returns to home base, the high-speed WiFi will be perfect for streaming favorite shows on the TV or catching up on work while away, yet simply cozying up by the fireplace with a mug of hot cocoa and a book in hand can be the perfect cap to each dreamy day.

Nice place, kitchen under-equipped, no communication
So, the home and upstairs bed is comfortable and in a great location. First off, the condo Reeked of cigarette smoke. light in microwave is always on and door taped shut, doesn't work. Counters were dirty, table and coffee table were dirty also. Question about coffee filters was answered 4 days late. We had to go back out to get filters. Greasy pan left in stove. The can opener is broken and doesn't work. There is only 1 hand towel for the kitchen and no potholders. Description boasts a well-equipped kitchen. There is only 2 fry pans, 1 tiny pot and 2 stock pots for cooking. Downstairs exhaust fan in bathroom does not work. I'm pretty disappointed with VRBO mainly because all resposes seemed to be AI generated and were always at least 4 days later. I even tried contacting what i thought might be the owners with no response at all! I think it might be a corporate owned property. Even after trying to reach someone about these issues all I got was "we hope you enjoyed your stay." This home wasn't cheap and our experience was less than satisfactory.

This was the perfect location for a fall break getaway. Even with a little mixup with our checkin date they quickly made it right. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds/furniture. Overall, a great unit if you’re looking to stay in Sugar Mountain.

Great condo
Condo is in a great location. Dog walking a breeze with hiking trails across the street. Clean and comfortable. Went in September and the weather was perfect. Might get hot in summer as it has no AC. Does have plenty of fans available, however. Would be an amazing property to rent for skiing.

Very serviceable condo with lots of beds
The condo was convenient to the slopes (not an easy walk in ski boots, but easy in regular shoes; took about 5 minutes through the woods and across a bridge), had lots of room, and had updated decor. I appreciated the closet outside the front door for ski gear. The kids appreciated having Disney+. The dogs appreciated having a park just across the street from the condo complex entrance. Not spotless, but serviceably clean (I felt no need to clean further on arrival). I would stay here again.

It's a condo with neighbors downstairs, so do not expect more
Tight space for a family, no big space for 6 or more peoe to spend together, except the king bed in one bedroom other beds are not comfortable for adults and big kids. Since it's a condo you got to be very cautious about neighbors downstairs, maybe not worth the price we paid.

Old and unkept
Several lamps were broken and inoperable. Leather couch had tears so we had to put blanket on it to sit on it. Neighbors below were renovating and had old toilet and other appliances on their deck visible from our back windows. One of the closets had no doors and there was a constant smell of cigarette smoke in this condo which we think was coming from the neighbors below. Accommodations were not worth what we had to pay for sure.

Dirty, Old, and Smelly
This property needs serious attention. Repairs are need to fix broken lamps, install a dryer vent, fix the toilets, hang closet doors, and increase the capacity of the hot water heater. A cleaning service needs to remove the debris from the floor, wipe down the walls, sweep out the cobwebs, and install an adequate ventilation system. Chain smoking downstairs and constant construction noise made the stay very unpleasant. The loft stairs are not safe to climb and the view from the living room window is pile of construction debris (broken toilet, rolls of old carpet) and rotting trash. Stay somewhere else.

Beyond Disappointed
We were very excited for our trip to NC with our 2 daughters and our close friends who also have 2 young daughters. Immediately upon arrival we noticed the stairway was covered in ice and snow. After walking down the stairs we were met with an awkward shared entrance that smelled terrible with trash and construction debris. We finally opened the door to the unit and was met with a terrible musty odor. The condo was old. The kitchen floor had old pasta on the ground and crumbs on the counter tops. The firealarms didn't have batteries and the tv remote didn't work. We then looked out the beautiful window to see a busted toilet on the balcony below along with more trash. The blankets on the beds were stained. The cherry on top was after spending $250 on groceries we learned the next day the refridgerator was broken and all of our food was completely ruined. I called the property management company on day 1 5 times with no help and then again multiple times on day 2. We were only there for 2 nights and at 4pm on Sunday evening ( Day 2) they sent a maintenance worker over to try and fix the fridge with no luck. The only positive of this unit was the location but other than that this property was not worth the amount of money we spent on 2 nights. The absolute worst experience I've ever had with VRBO.
