Mountain-top condo w/ endless mountain views, gourmet kitchen & stone fireplace

Reserve II 15-C

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Enjoy breathtaking views of NC, TN, and VA. Up close you can see Beech Mountain and Grandfather Mountain. On a clear day, the view is endless from the highest condo in the Reserve II complex. This beautiful home has recently been aesthetically updated with calm colors and cozy touches. Rest your feet on fun bear ottomans while watching TV on a large flatscreen TV and/or admiring the fire or view! Map out your ski plans on the Sugar Mountain wall map and rest your head at night on a comfortable Sleep Number bed where you can set it to your own liking. This retreat boasts creature comforts such as a fully-equipped chef's kitchen (with both an automatic drip or Keurig coffee maker) and a large main suite with a large bath, a reading nook in the main bedroom, and a large dining table on the deck for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. All these amenities are perfect for lounging after a day at the slopes, a day of golf, hiking, zip-lining, or just adventuring. If you're visiting in the summer, the large private balcony becomes a second living room with wonderful, cool fresh air. From the balcony, you can easily witness the beauty of Sugar Mountain trails and watch the skiers and mountain bikers.

What's nearby:
Sugar Mountain Resort is just steps away from this condo, where you'll find an outdoor skating rink, snow tubing, mountain bike tours and a full golf course (weather permitting).

Great views

The property was clean and well appointed. Great sunrises from the deck. From the pictures you get the impression that access from the parking lot is without stairs, but the unit is below grade and you have to manage a flight of stairs.

The view was breathtaking. The furniture was comfortable - except the master mattress, which was a cheep replacement. The knives we all wonderfully sharp.

Beautiful Home and Views

Owners did not scrimp on quality of furnishing, decorating and having the best provisioned kitchen we have ever seen. I was pleased and would consider coming back again. Great views. Be mindful there is construction that often had the entrance blocked causing minor delays and noise.

Fall trip to Sugar Mountain

We had a WONDERFUL time here. It was very relaxing. The entire condo was gorgeous! & beautifully decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped. It was close to grocery stores & restaurants. The beds were comfortable as well. Although we had the lower condo, it didn't feel that way. The views were extraordinary , and breathtaking. We can't wait to go back again.

First Time on Sugar Mt.

This was my first time in the area and I loved the location. You get a beautiful view of the mountains and ski resort from the balcony. The short drive up the mountain can seem a little daunting, but I recommend experiencing it for yourself. The host provided brochures and guides for local entertainment that really came in handy. The location of the condo places you within minutes of various activities and sites. I look forward to booking this condo in the future. This cozy condo is one that I would highly recommend.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 December 2024
Thank you for being our guest and sharing your feedback. We're so pleased you had a great stay and enjoyed the property, overall! That said, while we acknowledge that furniture won't suit everyone's specific preferences, we're sorry ours was not comfortable for you. Additionally, we regret any disconnect you felt when receiving information about the storm from our team. We shared your comments with the local manager who noted it was truly a challenge to get updated information on what was accessible, what roads were still under repair, and what certain areas looked like, as things were changing daily. The locals are committed to getting their mountains back to the best condition they can be for our valued visitors and we appreciate your patience and support. We hope to have the chance to host you for an exceptional getaway soon.

Thank you for your feedback, David. We understand that cleanliness is of utmost importance and we deeply regret that the home was not up to your expectations upon arrival. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide to our valued guests. Rest assured, we have taken your comments seriously and have addressed the matter with our cleaning crew to ensure this is an isolated incident.

Onsite booking office not available

The onsite office was closed early and our welcome package was not left where it was supposed to be. Thankfully someone from another group was able to give us a key to the property or we would have been stranded with no access code. The location was clean but it is NOT walking distance to the slopes as indicated in the listing.
