Enjoy your Sugar Mountain getaway even more when you're within walking distance from the ski lodge. A three-minute walk will bring you to the lodge for ski rentals and hot chocolate, and when the weather is warm you can enjoy the resort's golf course and tennis courts. When you get back to this cozy condo you will have a gas fireplace to warm you back up after a day of shredding fresh powder. A full kitchen has everything needed for a home cooked meal with the family, and the balcony is a great spot to relax and appreciate the surrounding views.

What's nearby:
There is so much to do here at Sugar Mountain. With the ski lodge, golf course, tennis courts, and skating rink all within walking distance, you won't even need your car. However, a short car ride will bring you to white water rafting via High Mountain Expeditions, or panning for rare gems at the Foggy Mountain Gem Mine. If you want to catch some of the stunning mountain scenery, you can soar through the tree tops at Hawksnest Ziplining, and walk across the Mile High Swinging Bridge.

Things to know:

No A/C

Amenities could definetly be better. Several concerns were sent directly to vacasa. Walk does require some uphill then downhill to get to slopes, it is not doable if you are hauling equipment or have children.

wonderful skiing trip

We are staying in this property for the second time. It is clean and comfortable, and has everything one needs. The major attraction is location - you can walk to slopes. This year there were lots of people, and finding parking was a real issue. So it was nice to avoid that!

The unit is described as updated and I would not consider it very updated. This is not what I consider a ski in/out. I suppose you could walk from this location to the ski resort but it would not be a 1 minute walk! The unit had a funky smell when we arrived, the vent was closed on the fireplace causing a very propane smell. My husband fixed it, but they did send someone out and he put in a co2 monitor. Kitchen was not very clean, however the beds did have clean linens and the bathrooms had clean linens. All in all it was not a bad stay.

Good place if you just going with friends to skii

The place is very good located, just 3 min to the place ski resort you can even walk. We had some cleaning issues but “VACASA” and the property manager responded quick and came to solve most of it. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen have everything you will need. Smart tvs in almost every room. This is my 4th time coming to the mountain and this is one of the best I’ve stayed

Mixed feelings!!

My family of 7 stayed for 3 nights. The first 2 nights there was no hot water!!!! I contacted them and they quickly sent someone out to look at it but it couldn’t be fixed. By the last night the problem resolved itself. I was told there would be a refund for my inconvenience but I still haven’t seen one! Also, when I arrived the dishwasher was full of clean dishes that were never emptied from the previous stay.

Location was excellent. Fairly equipped (we had to purchase some items to use in the kitchen). Dropped a few things on the floor and had the misfortune of looking under furniture...place needs a more thorough cleaning. And refreshing of a few things (carpet/drapes) to get rid of a bit of a funky smell. But it served its purpose for a place to sleep and shower while spending maximum time on the slopes.

Grandfather mountain

We loved that it was close to Grandfather mountain state park; about 20 minutes. Highly recommend getting there when the state park opens. Enjoyed that our stay was convenient to restaurants and other towns to visit.

Awesome condo and experience!

We stayed at this condo just before Christmas and it was perfect for 2 couples and our young kids. We could have even had room for one more couple. The kids enjoyed playing in the cute loft. The beds were super comfy. The linens were nice and the kitchen had all the essentials. The house has lots of nice tech extras and great WiFi. Lovely patio and the perfect outdoor closet for storing skies and boots. Love the proximity to the ski resort as well as added attractions in the area like tubing and the alpine rollercoaster. My 6 year old son said this was the best trip of his life! We hope to visit again!

Find another place- not good for 8 people. Maybe 4

The property is old and not kept up. The mildew/mold smell is overpowering. It was so bad we had to leave and could not spend the second night there. Sheets and beds were clean but not the bedspreads or the throw carpets in the bathrooms. I had to clean the porch before it could be used. Not fun!

Great getaway!

We loved our stay at this property. It was very close to the ski resort and at the end of the day, it was a great place to cook dinner and relax. Due to Covid, we mostly ate in and the open floor plan was nice. We did have one question while we were there and the property company responded to us right away. Check in and check out was super easy. Overall, it was a wonderful place to get away from it all.

The condo was Nasty! Musty smell, broken, uncomfortable,broken , dated furniture.

It was the worst experience I had ever encountered renting a VRBO. It should definitely be taken off the website. Such an uncomfortable stay and waste of money!

Loved this place

Loved the layout of the condo, and the value we got with everybody having their own room. The main room-kitchen was perfect for us, as was the beautiful porch. The location could not have been better for a few days of hiking in the mountains, and the people we met there were great too. The only complaint I have is the mattress hurt my back, and others in my group said the same. Also we went in mid-August and were worried about not having AC, but its cool up in those mountains, and we opened the windows and had no complaints about that.

Great condo!!!

This was a fabulous rental. There are four bedrooms, one is a loft on the third floor, so we had even more space than we thought. The condo has everything you could need - like a pancake griddle! The recliners and couch in the living room are unbelievably comfy. The WiFi was fantastic - even with 7 of us using it (with multiple devices each...). Sugar Mountain is a great resort with a lot going on. And there’s a huge Food Lion six minutes away!!!

Very well-kept & supplied condo near the slopes

The condo was in excellent condition. The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. Furniture was all comfortable, and the gas fire and baseboard heaters kept us nice & warm. Skiing is a 5-minute walk but is relatively easy to access. The bridge that crosses the creek will put you out right at the bottom of Easy Street. You have to drive down two fairly steep hills to get to the condo, so probably want 4WD or chains during winter. The parking lot did get salted, so it wasn’t icy when we left, but it could have been very difficult to get out of otherwise. Overall, this was a great place to stay, and we look forward to returning. The house was full of little extras (games, high chair, and even fire escape ladders under the upstairs beds). Unlike many rentals at Sugar that are clearly just intended for renting out to skiers and getting as many people in as possible, this one was actually liveable.

Very good resort

It’s very good resort which met most of our expectations, location, size, cleanness, and etc. The service response is very quick and proactive. The only thing which is not very satisfied is they don’t provide some of the normal kitchen supplies, like food wrap film, napkins. So better to bring all you need if you would stay for several days and like cooking by yourself.
