My husband and I took our children (ages 4 and 6) from Charleston, SC on a 3-day trip to Sugar Top resort and stayed in Grandfather Glory. Upon arrival, the parking and unloading of luggage was a bit backed up so it took a while, but once we got inside we never had another issue. The views from our condo were spectacular. Our kids spent so much time on the balcony playing and enjoying the snow. The condo overall was very clean, comfortable, functional, and spacious for a family of 4 with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Randy was incredibly helpful and replied within minutes any time we had questions. The lovely people working the resort from front to back were outstanding. Ellen, the shuttle driver, was fantastic and really sweet to us and the kids. A young woman working the front desk one evening even helped source some cold medicine for me since it was not sold at the resort. Less than 5 minutes later, my husband was at the elevator when an older couple dropped something off their cart and it shattered on the ground. A gentleman who worked there was on it in less than a minute, kept reassuring them it wasn't a big deal, and got it cleaned up in no time. After everyone got on the elevator he stayed behind with a flashlight to look for all the tiny pieces of glass to ensure he got it all. It was impressive! Our kids loved swimming in the pool and warming up in the hot tub. We went tubing at Hawknest and had an absolute blast. We plan on making this an annual family trip!
We had a great time. The place is super nice and has everything and more you could need. The view is amazing.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The pictures do not do this place Justice at all. The views are breathtaking. The building was nice as well with a convenient little market in the lobby and a beautiful indoor pool. The unit itself was nicely decorated with a cabin feel. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed and more. I would like to point out that the beds were also very comfortable and that’s a rare find in a rental. I could stay here forever…. All communication with the owner was good too. Super sweet people. We will definitely be back again.
The pictures do not do this place justice. The view is unbelievable. We worried it would be hot without AC but the breeze was nice and cool in the evening. The kitchen was nicely stocked and the bathrooms spotless. The shuttle to your car was not a big deal and came quickly. Used the hot tub and gym while there too. I will definitely be back. This was one of the nicest places I have stayed.
View is amazing. The property had everything we needed and loved the decor. Randy is very responsive.
The condo was clean and had everything that we needed. I didn’t care for parking away from the condo but it was just a little inconvenient because it was so cold. The shuttle runs very often and they’ll call it whenever you need it. We enjoyed the stay.
My husband and I so enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was such a convenient/quick trip to the local ski resort, the condo was so clean, had so many amenities and the view was to die for. Also, they have decorated the condo so wonderfully and it really gives you that sweet cozy cabin vibe. Can’t say enough good things!!!
I was over impressed with how nice our stay was! The condo was super clean and accommodating for our family (with 2 boys aged 6 and 8). The kitchen was well stocked and convenient to cook at home. The rooms had lots of storage and beds were very comfy. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Front desk was super helpful with all questions. The pool and hot tub was perfect for after skiing and utilized it every day! The location was super convenient to grocery store and ski slope. The owner was very helpful in answering all questions in a super timely manner! Overall, it was a 12/10 experience.
The condo was perfect and had everything we needed. The decor was done so well and made it feel super cozy. The only issue, which was not at all the owners' fault, was checking-in. It was snowing hard and we were not able to get to the front of the resort. The employees working at the resort that evening (guard shack, front desk, and shuttle) were not friendly nor helpful. I was not confident that we would make it to our condo that night. Fortunately, the staff working the next day made up for it! Shout out to Frank (front desk) and the female shuttle driver from Chicago. They were both very nice, friendly, helpful, and welcoming!
The owners were very accommodating after a mixup on our check-in. The unit was clean and as advertised. The inside pool and spa were great after a day of skiing. Views from the balcony were beautiful. I would recommend the rental to anybody going to the area.
We had a great experience renting for this unit! The unit was great and very cozy for our family. I will say the resort itself was having a few issues, but nothing that was not manageable. We went during a very busy time, and the location was crowded and busy. Everyone was helpful, and we enjoyed our trip!
I'd almost say Accuracy of Listing wasn't completely accurate because this condo was BETTER than the listing and pictures! Absolutely gorgeous, perfect location, and amazing hosts!
We had a lovely time staying at morning glory condo. Sunrises were phenomenal. Bed were the best we have had in any rental in all the vacations we have ever gone on. Within 20 min of everything
Loved the property! Will stay again and recommend to family and friends! Loved the convenience of the saunas/jacuzzi/and pool. We used it multiple times a day! Beds were comfy and the mountain ranges were fantastic outside our balcony. Kitchen had everything we needed.
Wonderful place to stay. Close to many good hiking trails, festivals, restaurants and shopping. The pool and hot tub was nice to come back to and relax. Very well stocked kitchen. Very comfortable with fantastic views.
Property was very clean. Everything worked as stated and we enjoyed our stay. The owner was always responsive to our questions. We would highly recommend this property.
