***Parking Notes: Due to the mountaintop resort nature of Sugartop Resort Condos, they had to build it with multiple parking lots in addition to the main one that loops around the building. As such, the upper level parking is prioritized for the owners, with guest parking based on availability. During busier times, guests may be directed to one of the lower lots to park. In this case, Sugartop has a shuttle service to quickly whisk you back and forth and give you curb service. Staff are always prompt, courteous and available 24/7. (Busy times can be some weekends, holidays, and summer months when seasonal residents arrive.) When this occurs, guests can always load and unload at the main entrance, and call ahead to the desk to have a shuttle waiting for their departure.

Condo is perfect for singles, couple, or families with children over 16 only (and main guest age must be at least 21 year old !)

NUMBER OF GUESTS AT CHECK-IN IS STRICTLY MONITORED, ENFORCED AND VERIFIED. ANY VIOLATIONS WILL RESULT IN INSTANT BOOKING CANCELLATION WITH NO REFUND PROVIDED.

THINGS TO DO IN THE AREA:
Looking for things to do on your next vacation? Look no further than the High Country of Western NC! Whatever your age, status or desires, you should find an array of pleasing activities to choose from - all year long! And as our special guests, you'll be comfortably and conveniently located right in the middle of it all...

For example, this is hiking and biking "paradise" and an awesome region to just get out and cruise some of our scenic back roads, and the world-renown Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoy golf? You'll love the beauty and proximity of the local Sugar Mountain Golf Club. The more adventuresome can try their hand at zip-lining, horseback riding, canoeing, and white water rafting. There's also a wide variety of shops and dining establishments to explore...

You'll also find numerous attractions such as Grandfather Mountain, the original Mast General Store, Linville Falls, Linville Caverns, Tweetsie Railroad, Mystery Hill, Blowing Rock, and many more. And remember to pack a lunch if you'd like to stop by one of our pretty parks or picnic areas along the way...

Many mountain towns tend to slow down in the wintertime - but not us! We are the best snow skiing destination in the south, with a variety of venues and slopes to challenge you. You'll find everything from skiing, to snowboarding, to tubing, to snow-shoeing. And there's no shortage of instructors, equipment rentals, events and activities. And as a bonus for OUR guests, you'll be able to look right down on Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and watch all of the activity right from your balcony or window. (They even offer a "courtesy coach" to our building.) You'll also find several of our attractions to be open year-round.

OUR BEAUTIFUL SUGARTOP RESORT CONDOMINIUMS BUILDING:
Care to just relax and stay close? That's easy to do here at Sugartop! Apart from our cozy condo, you may wish to explore some of the amenities our awesome building has to offer its guests, such as:

BEAUTIFUL CONDO UNIT:
Speaking of views, how about grabbing your favorite refreshment and sitting out on your own private balcony to enjoy some of the most beautiful sunsets this side of Heaven?

As you browse through the photos on our VRBO listing page, you'll come across a floor plan of our condo, so you can get a good idea of its layout. It's a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, split-plan with generous living and dining areas and a well-equipped kitchen.

The kitchen has been completely remodeled in recent years and boasts upgraded, name-brand appliances with wood cabinets and beautiful countertops. It also has brand new cookware, utensils and dishes to accommodate any need. Care to stay in and do some mile-high cooking one evening? Got you covered! All you need are the groceries, and there are two very nice grocery stores within a 10-minute drive in either direction.
Luxury for Less: In some market areas you could expect to pay upwards of $200-400 a night for such accommodations!

KITCHEN CONVENIENCE:
Along with the abundance of utensils and cookware, you'll also enjoy:
~ a large, side-by-side refrigerator
~ oven unit with glass-top electric stove
~ built-in, over-the-range microwave oven
~ top-of-the-line, whisper-quiet, automatic dishwasher
~ garbage disposal
~ 4-slice toaster
~ blender
~ coffee maker with "full pot" or "single cup" options

LAUNDRY:
Either you are staying for a day, a week or more, for your convenience unit is equipped with a private washer and dryer. Ours is a Maytag stacked unit and is located in the hall closet. For backup, you're also just a few steps away from the 9th floor laundry facilities. The trash chute is also just a few steps away, right next to the laundry room.

BEDS, BATHS, AND WAY BEYOND:
Your comfort is our goal, so we've gone the extra mile to help you get a good night's sleep. Our master suite boasts a huge, king-sized bed that's topped with luxurious organic linens and a variety of hypoallergenic, down-alternative pillows in your choice of "soft, medium or firm" comfort.
Our guest bedroom offers the same bedding, but in twin sizes. For your viewing pleasure, a 40-inch "Smart TV" is provided in the master suite and a 32-inch "Smart TV" is provided in the guest suite. Both bedrooms have closets, dressers, nightstands and large windows that allow you to take in those wonderful mountain views! And on the 9th floor, you won't need to draw the blinds for "privacy". Not an issue here (perhaps just for sleeping in)!

The bathrooms are convenient to each bedroom and have everything you need to help freshen up or wind down. We provide an initial personal supply of soaps, shampoos and lotions, as well as towels that are sure to enhance your bath experience.

MISC:
For your convenience, you'll find an iron and ironing board in the guest bedroom closet. A hair dryer can be found in the master bath lavatory cabinet.

For those occasional warm summer days we provide ceiling fans in each room. (Air conditioning systems are generally unnecessary, and a rare find in our higher, cooler elevations.)

We appreciate safety standarts and comfort of our every guest so that we have a team of professional housekeepers to perform a thorough cleaning and restock items after every stay.

NOTE: If you consider a 30+ day stay, please conctact us prior to making a reservation as it is a subject to approval. We are more than welcome to accept longer terms during the low season.

THE CITADEL:
Just so you are aware, our condo is in the slightly newer Citadel Tower wing. This places it close to the public laundry facilities and trash chute (very convenient) and in a quieter environment. When you exit the main elevator on the 9th floor, you'll turn right and walk to the end of the corridor, then continue on through the door marked "Citadel".

Make lasting memories! Come visit the heart of the High Country and take advantage of endless opportunities for fun, entertainment, and just, pure relaxation during fall, winter, spring or summer - Sugar Top always has things to offer for every kind of traveler!

Nice condo!
This condo was overall really good! The king bed is super comfortable! The kitchen is updated and the unit is not cluttered and old smelling like several others we have stayed at in this building. Only issues were: They did not have our reservation when we got there which was concerning but the manager of the building took care of us immediately. Also, the washing machine didn't work and one of the big leather lounge chairs was broken so there weren't many places to sit. Unit has a great view of the slopes!

Great views! Repairs needed though
Great views of Sugar Mountain ski slopes! Sunsets are spectacular! But the unit was in need of some repairs. Broken recliner, broken washer, no functioning lights overhead in den, leaking refrigerator from freezer side. And fireplace not to be used due to high winds so should take that out of description. No single cup coffee maker now either. And no towels for pool. No laundry soap. And no I’ve maker. Overall description needs updating!

Disappointing
This is the place for you if you enjoy being berated by the property manger by text. If you enjoy finding the info for the WIFI in the book completely wrong and have no response EVER about the correct WiFi settings. If you enjoy arriving to find what you expected from the pictures to be inaccurate. Listing shows nice coffee maker with single cup maker and FREE coffee K-cups, and you find a single pot with MOLDY COFFEE GROUNDS INSIDE, this is your place! How about a broken chair with trash behind it and the patio furniture tipped over on top of the sliding glass door screen then this is the place for you. The listing is INACCURATE so don't expect what you read or see. Here is text from who ever was behind the phone# "As I said once we have open positions for a housekeeping supervisor at our property management firm, we will be more than happy to have your resume to consider. Since you are a guest I suggest that you focus on your vacation and spending good time and let our property management team focus on their responsibilities."

THIS MANAGEMENT COMPANY IS AWFUL TO WORK WITH!
I wish I could attach the communication between myself & the Mgmt company. I have rented through VRBO for years, & a former rental owner myself. I have NEVER experienced such unprofessionalism. I let the company know we checked out a day early, as I thought it was nice to allow more time for their cleaners. I also let them know the washer was broken, the dishwasher full of dishes from prior renter. The recliner broken, master toilet clogged, no soap in bathrooms, deck furniture flipped over on top of a broken screen. They responded defensively stating "the unit was cleaned & checked before we arrived & that furniture was being replaced according to the approved schedule & not after every other guest." I stated that I only let them know bc I did not want to be charged for not washing the towels, not unloading the dishwasher (when we did not use those dishes.), the broken recliner & turned over furniture. (What I failed & should have included, is that I had to remove a prior renter's underwear & clothes from the dryer so I could throw our snow gloves in to dry. Those clothes are laying on the shelf in the laundry room btw. Also, the multiple dental floss picks on the guest bdrm floor. We only had 3 washcloths, there were 4 of us. The other washclothes were dirty laying in the washing machine.) I never asked for a refund or money back, even though I was accused. I was also lectured about being respectful of property. I hope the owner finds a new Mgmt company.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Dirty & Delayed
My overall impression of this property is that it over promised and under delivered. When we arrived at the property sometime well after 5 PM, the room was still not clean. I reported that to the property manager and apparently they sent someone who said, “ we will have this cleaned up in a few minutes.” From what I saw, it was going to take more than a few minutes to clean. There were three unmade beds, a backed up toilet, trash, and lots of dirty towels. There were multiple bulbs out and we replaced one ourselves. The washing machine did not work and that would’ve been nice to know also. It might’ve been nice to mention that the fireplace was unusable. 😐 after we returned from dinner, and the unit was assumed cleaned, I pulled back the covers on the master bedroom, and there was blood on the sheets. This is right out of a rental nightmare. I have pictures if you would like to see. None of the linens smelled fresh. One of the chairs in the living room was obviously broken. There was no soap in either of the bathrooms. The master bathroom sink and shower were standing in water indicating an obvious problem with drainage. I’m not confident that all of the burners on the stove worked. If I personally owned this unit, I would be shocked and embarrassed to find my property in this shape.
