Cozy condo perfect for a romantic weekend, top of the mountain with great views on a clear day or night. Convenient location to (30 minutes or less) to Boone, Blowing Rock or Blue Ridge Parkway!
Loved this little condo. Super great location? Spectacular views, cozy and felt like home. Little small so pack light, no where to really store anything!
Extremely nice and updated condo in an excellent location. We were able to walk a few feet to the top of the slopes and easily snowboard down. The host excellent with communication. I highly recommend staying at this VRBO.
We were there for a concert at Beech Mtn & we wanted to enjoy the surrounding attractions. Great food, drinks & fun things to do. Loved the location of this place. Also very clean but did smell like smoke & the fan in the bathroom was very loud. Small issues & we would definitely rent again.

I’m so sorry you had a few issues and we will work to resolve them right away. Our maintenance team will fix the fan. And there is “no smoking” allowed anywhere in the entire building. We have informed the building owners and they plan to crack down on other renters who may have violated this policy so this doesn’t happen again.
Whether you’re going to Sugar Mountain in the summer or the winter, it’s a great place to stay. if you are going to ski, it truly is a ski in ski out. It has a great views and has all the cookware, glassware, etc.to cook a great meal. The owner was super responsive when communicating check in check out was a breeze. I would definitely stay here again.
This was a beautiful place to stay! The communication with the owner was excellent. We heard from him multiple times before and during our stay. The condo is decorated beautifully and the neighborhood is excellent. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Perfect place for two people and October on Sugar Mountain is spectacular. Can’t wait to go back!
Cute, cozy condo! Super clean and charming. Communication and directions were clear and easy. Location is great. We use the complex indoor pool and sauna. We will be going back for sure. Thank you!
Perfect location for two who like to ski or snowboard. A quick two minute walk from the condo to the ski lift. The owner was extremely user friendly. Will definitely look for this location again when we are back up at sugar.
