A family vacation to Sugar Mountain never looked so good! It will be just the place for outdoorsy families or a group of skiers alike. Make the most of fresh powder less than a mile from your front door in the winter and indulge in hiking or mountain biking when the warmer weather uncovers pristine trails nearby. For even more adventure, head to Grandfather Mountain State Park, eight miles away, and check out the Mile High Swinging Bridge! Plus, Banner Elk is just four miles north, where you will find various local shops and restaurants to check out.

Boasting a fun lofted layout, plenty of space for the whole gang to spread out, and easy access to the slopes nearby, there will be no dull moments on this getaway. Start each day with crisp mountain air and the sound of the birds in the trees with a cup of coffee on the private deck. Before heading out for full days of fun, hop into the well-equipped kitchen and whip up a tasty meal to fuel up. When everyone returns to home base, the high-speed WiFi will be perfect for streaming favorite shows on the TV or catching up on work while away, yet simply cozying up by the fireplace with a mug of hot cocoa and a book in hand can be the perfect cap to each dreamy day.

    Downstairs bedroom had huge crusty stains on the comforter. They honestly looked like blood stains. Contacted VRBO for a replacement and sent them pictures of the large stains. They advised us they would be in contact with us the next day. We had to drive 30 minutes at 9pm to find a comforter as there were no spares in the home. Paid 50 for a comforter and never heard from VRBO the rest of our stay. Contacted them a few days after arriving home and said they would be in contact with us in a few days- 10 days later and still no contact from them.

    This was a place good enough to sleep for a few nights. Not the cleanest place. Moldy showers and stale air but comfy beds.

    Close to slopes was a plus. Older property so a smell of 70’s cigarette smoke lingered. Clean but when we arrived, the cleaners had left dirty towels in bathroom sink. Kitchen was very well stocked. Considering those few hiccups, I would recommend.

    This place was very nice and super clean. Very close to the lifts. All beds were so comfortable. We will definitely be coming back to this particular rental every year! Thank you for having us!

    So, the home and upstairs bed is comfortable and in a great location. First off, the condo Reeked of cigarette smoke. light in microwave is always on and door taped shut, doesn't work. Counters were dirty, table and coffee table were dirty also. Question about coffee filters was answered 4 days late. We had to go back out to get filters. Greasy pan left in stove. The can opener is broken and doesn't work. There is only 1 hand towel for the kitchen and no potholders. Description boasts a well-equipped kitchen. There is only 2 fry pans, 1 tiny pot and 2 stock pots for cooking. Downstairs exhaust fan in bathroom does not work. I'm pretty disappointed with VRBO mainly because all resposes seemed to be AI generated and were always at least 4 days later. I even tried contacting what i thought might be the owners with no response at all! I think it might be a corporate owned property. Even after trying to reach someone about these issues all I got was we hope you enjoyed your stay. This home wasn't cheap and our experience was less than satisfactory.

    Overall, a good value for an off season rental. If you are sensitive to cigarette smoke I would book another rental.
