Everything was perfect! Our host let us know everything we should know about the area and what to expect! Super clean and perfect for our kids Christmas getaway and our first ski trip! We are already excited about planning our next trip! And the views were absolutely mesmerizing!!

This place was amazing. Well taken care of, all staff were incredibly helpful, and the views were breathtaking. We loved it and would love to come back.
We are familiar with the area and Sugar Top. 10 stories above the summit should be high enough. Enjoyed the dining and R&R. I recommend highly.

It’s a gorgeous condo and it feels like home. I live the décorations and the owner thought everything someone would need of to make the stay enjoyable. The view is absolutely stunning.
Location is amazing - the views are incredible!! Hosts are a pleasure to communicate with and answered any and all questions we had! Shuttle is easy peasy.
The views from the balcony were amazing. It was very clean and very close to the ski resort. It was not a big problem for us, but keep in mind you will most likely have to take a shuttle to your vehicle if you stay during ski season. We highly recommend staying here.
We had a very nice stay in Sugar Mountain. Very convenient to Banner Elk, Boone and even Blowing Rock. The condo had everything we needed for the weekend. Views were spectacular, even when waking up this morning with our head literally in the clouds!
This was my second stay at SugarTop. I love the views and the convenience. Close to everything. The condo is perfect for friends or family since it has a split plan. Nice sized kitchen and living/dining area. The security of the property is a big plus for me.
Property was clean. All appliances worked. The view from the balcony is definitely the best part. Property owner was a pleasure to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again.
Condo needs updating. Dining table and coffee table was in very in shabby condition. Services and owners were great. Wonderful vacation. The area is great. I pray that it is good condition after the hurricane. Thank you for a nice vacation. Hope to go again.
The accommodations were commendable! I was in a power chair, and everything was very accessible. The staff were so accommodating and very engaging. We will definitely plan another trip here from Northern Minnesota in the near future! Thank you for everything!
On the top floor of one of the highest mountains. Cool almost cold on balcony in evenings

The hosts were awesome! The view was spectacular. The condo was fully stocked with what you need, just bring your food and toiletries! The fireplace was off limits (I misread this) and we could not use. TV was hit or miss (bad storm).
The condo building itself had some problems. The sauna, treadmills and pool were average and/or broken. This was disappointing as working out was very limited. There was so much water around the pool walkway that you could not walk without getting your clothes wet. It seems the pool needs a bit of TLC. The pool and spa had a lot of chlorine, which burned our eyes even with goggles.
The parking staff were super and kind! When parking was tight, they gave me a pass to park up top, which I greatly appreciated. The check in reception were really helpful and kind!
Hosts were an A+, Condo was a B+ , Condo facilities were a C+.
I'd book with my hosts again!
Me, my daughter and her friend were there for a soccer tournament (we won the championship!!) and the place was perfect for us! The view was amazing! The girls and I loved it! It was so cute and the girls definitely lived their best lives! The staff was also amazing and helpful! The only thing I would say and it’s not a negative but the shuttle. I would have rather have been able to park in the lot right out front and not have to go back and forth with the shuttle. But the shuttle crew were super fast and friendly! :)
