Slope-side, Ski in-Ski out: 2 story Condo. Directly alongside the slopes.
Located on Sugar Mountain in the highly desired Bee Branch location. Slopeside 2 story condo. Walk to slopes, lifts, ticket booth, ski school, and ski lodge. It’s about a five minute walk to the first ski lift. Completely renovated with an open and spacious floor plan. Vaulted ceilings with gorgeous views of Grandfather Mountain directly from the balcony. Overlooks the ski slopes below along with a tranquil running mountain stream. Sleeps 8 with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths. The upstairs spacious BR has 2 full beds and a private bath. 2 downstairs BR's have a king bed in each. Spacious fully renovated and well-stocked kitchen with updated appliances and farm table that seats up to 10.

If you're staying on Sugar to ski, you are just a few steps away from the slopes, lifts, ticket booth, ski school, rentals, and ski lodge. If you are a beginner skier or have kids that are learning to ski or snowboard, this is a highly desired location as it is closer to the base of the mountain on “Easy Street” green trail (not leaving you at the top of the mountain on a more advanced trail).
No need to drive anywhere if you are looking to ski, ice skate, snow tube, go downhill mountain biking, play tennis or golf as this is all right on Sugar within waking distance from the condo.

We have stayed at almost all of the ski-in/ski-out locations in Sugar, and this was by far our favorite. Access to the slopes was incredibly easy, making ski days seamless. The condo was warm, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed, plus beautiful views of the slopes. Having a washer and dryer was a huge bonus. The host was responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the beautiful pictures from the balcony!!
Great place right by the green slope. Just walk out the front door, down a small hill and over a little bridge to get to the green slope. If you want to do any of the blue or black runs, you’ll need to ski down the green, take off your skis/board & walk to the other lifts. The condo was perfect for our family of 5. We had everything we needed to cook our meals & wind down the day with games or a tv show.
We had a great stay! Very convenient location. Pretty accessible by car. The parking lot is small but we were able to park on the side. Loved the property and the host was very helpful with check in. Definitely recommend!
We just had the best pre-vacation with Jennifer’s condo. It was my wife and I with our five boys and cousin. My wife is a travel advisor but I’m the skier so organized all of the logistics for a ski weekend in Sugar and she hasn’t stopped talking about how good a job I did dining this place. The location and convenience to the slopes, the spacious, functional, and cleanliness of the condo was perfect. I can’t recommend this place enough. As well, Jennifer’s responsiveness to questions on the VRBO messaging app was near real time. I was so impressed with her processionalism and timeliness for support.
Great location right on the slopes with a perfect view of the Sugar mountain firework show on New Year’s Eve. Plenty of room for the family and grand parents, Cabin was very comfortable.
Amazing location, right on the slopes. Ski on/off. The condo is cozy and comfy. Perfect place for a get away. Our family with 3 kids (7 & under) had a wonderful stay. Lots to do nearby. The host was super responsive and helpful.
We loved our trip to Sugar Mountain and are so glad we chose this condo! It is very clean and well maintained, the beds are comfortable, and it had everything we needed. We will be back!

We had a great stay! Condo was perfect for our family of five including children aged 1, 4, and 7, as well as the kids’ grandmother. Everything was just as pictured/described. Very easy access to Sugar Mountain resort. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Joshua. You are all welcome back anytime! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family.
This property was perfect for our family of 5 with the kids ranging from 11-18. Right by the slopes so we could all go out as we pleased and the older kids could ski at night. Very clean, owner very responsive to any questions. Perfect few days away to reconnect.

Thank you for being such wonderful guests! You and your family are definitely welcome back anytime!
Great property! Amazing location. My son and I would ski the green slope and walk to the cabin for lunch and a break and walk back. Thanks bunches to the owner for sharing! We will definitely be back!
This place was awesome. The view is great. Location is great. The condo is amazing. Everything is updated. The beds are comfortable. The gas fireplace wasn’t working and Jennifer had somebody over the next day to look at it. Very tentative and we will certainly stay there every time we visit sugar from now on.

Reviews like this make me so happy to share my home with others to enjoy! I’m so glad you enjoyed the condo and all it had to offer. Thank you for your kind words and for being so understanding about the fireplace issue. It would be our pleasure to have you all stay with us again in the future.
My spouse and kids had a great time walking back and forth from the slopes. I enjoyed the condo heat and views while they were boarding. My kids and husband say it was the best trip we had and we contribute that to the condo location.

Prettier than the pictures.
The condo was spotless, comfortable and updated. Short walk to the slopes with a beautiful view from the balcony and kitchen window. I contacted the owners a couple times with questions during my stay and their response was prompt. Thank you for helping us create some great family memories.
