About this property
Walk to ski slopes! INCREDIBLE MTN VIEWS,SUNSETS, HOTTUB, FIREPLACE
The “Summit Lodge” at Sugar Mountain has everything you could possibly want in a trip to the mountains! Located just a short 7 min walk from the ski slopes of Sugar Mountain Resort (direct walk or drive up slope access from the neighborhood) & a 15-20 min. drive to Grandfather Mountain & the Blue Ridge Parkway! This 2 bedroom/2 bath condo located within The Reserve I comfortably sleeps 4 adults. Large open-concept living areas with plenty of relaxing spots, large stacked stone gas fireplace, beautiful wood look flooring, King size luxury mattress in Master Bedroom, & dining table seats 6 + 2 person eat-in kitchen barstools. Kitchen includes everything you need to make you feel right at home, spice rack, stemware, blender, and cooking supplies galore! Enjoy the private bubbling hot tub/spa on the very secluded 300+ squ ft deck overlooking some of the best views you can find in the Blue Ridge Mountains! The deck has brand new Adirondack chairs/foot rests & dining table/chairs and access from the master bedroom! Feel away from it all but still within reach to 5-10 min down the mountain to 2 grocery stores, lots of restaurants & downtown Banner Elk!
The Summit Lodge is not positioned near any other buildings to the sides, which provides ultimate privacy and ample green space outside for the kids to romp and play! You won’t feel like you’re in a condo that’s for sure..
PLEASE NOTE/IMPORTANT: •This unit requires stairs to access the unit- 2 short flights (approximately 15 steps total). •SURVEILLANCE CAMERA IN USE AT FRONT DOOR ONLY
Insurance/Refundable Damage Deposit Requirements: we require both a $500 refundable damage deposit & that our guests purchase a $79 insurance policy (which covers up to $3,000 of accidental damage). The reason behind this is because the total damage could easily reach over $3,000 with the hot tub and other amenities we offer, also that insurance only covers “accidental”, so the $500 refundable damage deposit would cover intentional damage and or any damage that would exceed the covered amount of the insurance policy.
**For winter stays, The Reserve roads are all paved and usually well plowed, however it is recommended (& at times required) to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle or snow chains to safely drive roads in winter weather.**
The Summit Lodge at Sugar Mountain is enjoyable all year round! In the summer time it averages about 20-25 degrees cooler than CLT/ATL/Eastern NC and approx. 10 degrees cooler than other “mountain towns” due to the high elevation (5,000+ ft)! Through Spring & Summer you have endless activities such as white water rafting, horseback riding, fly fishing, wine tasting at the nearby beautiful vineyards (i.e. Grandfather Vineyard, Linville Vineyards, Banner Elk Winery & Villa), river tubing, hiking, zip lining and much more! Fall is the perfect time to cruise the Blue Ridge Parkway to view the bright foliage, or you can enjoy the incredible view from the huge deck! The green colors in summer are also quite amazing! During the winter months you can partake in skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing & even horseback riding! Whether you want to kick back n’ relax, or have a thrill, there is something for you in the High Country!
We also have a Guest Information Guide which includes helpful details on local dining, access to lifts, outdoor activities, hiking, directions to the Blue Ridge Parkway & Grandfather Mountain.
Entertainment: Games, cards, books, magazines, Charter cable via living room TV, Chromecast for your streaming convenience in LR/MB with very fast/reliable 100 MBPS WiFi (5G & 2G)!

Perfect space and cozy fireplace. The kitchen was well stocked and organized. We loved the crib for our son and all the kid amenities. It made our stay extra easy and relaxing. We would highly recommend this very clean and cozy condo! Great location for skiing too!
Highly recommend this condo! Loved everything about it…especially the amazing view from the back deck. Owner is very quick to reply and easy to communicate with. Hope to stay there again soon!
Great trip! The condo was perfect with the hot tub a big bonus. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with. The new year's gift basket was an extra treat. We would stay here again any time.
Weekend getaway after Thanksgiving. The view from the deck was amazing. We even had a little snow and very cold but the condo was warm and cozy. Had to
Contact the owner about a simple matter and they responded promptly. We would stay here again.
Had a great stay. The place was clean and spacious. It was stocked with all necessary items. Only downside was that it was very windy outside and we were not able to enjoy the back porch or hot tub due to the wind. But the views were beautiful. We were able to find a path at the top of the neighborhood that cuts through the woods to top of the ski lift, which was great! 10/10 for our stay. Thank you!
Property is exactly as described! Lots of extra blankets and cozy fireplace were nice. Access to Sugar Mountain slopes is a 5-10 minute walk, as mentioned but just fyi if you have novice skiers, it does put you at the top of the mountain with difficult slopes ahead. It is a 10-15 minute drive to the bottom of the mountain which you may prefer if you are not experienced skiers. We enjoyed our stay here and will be back!
Great location and beautiful view from the deck. Very clean The owners were very communicative when the hot tub wasn’t working properly. They had someone come fix it as soon as they could and even offered to refund part of the trip since it didn’t work for the majority of our stay. It was a bummer not having a hot soak after a day on the slopes, but their efforts to help did not go unnoticed. Highly recommend
Lovely views! Sunset in the hot tub was spectacular! Fireplace! Full kitchen and spacious bedrooms. Walk to Sugar’s Summit lift is uphill, however, we loved the location!!! Every morning we were able to board down the slopes to get lift tickets, then ride the lift back up to the condo at the end of the day! Super easy! Also, condo is close to Food Lion and Lowe’s Foods, restaurants, shopping, and Alpine coaster. Will definitely try to book here in the future!
We booked this condo for our Christmas vacation this year and could not be more pleased. Check in was extremely simple and the living areas and bedrooms were very spacious and clean. The balcony had amazing views! The kitchen has all you basic cooking necessities- I had everything I needed to make a Christmas lasagna and there is a Food Lion at the foot of the mountain (about a 10 minute drive) to get groceries. We had a gift bag left for us which was filled with local goodies to enjoy. The only negative is my husband is now looking to buy property in the area! Hahahaa! We would definitely recommend this place and would love to visit again.
We have been coming from Florida to NC every summer for over 15 years. We have never stayed in a more beautiful, fully equipped unit. The Host and Hostess were so welcoming, responsive and a pleasure to work with. The hot tub on the deck was a spectacular addition. We were never hot tub people but the view of sunset turned us into daily “hot tubers.” The furniture, bedding, towels ,blankets and pillows were plentiful as was the kitchen assessories. We can say enough great things about the unit and the Hostess. We feel like she has become our friend and we will be staying there next summer. The location is also fabulous…close to Italian restaurants, Chinese restaurants, nail salon and grocery stores. Also for golfers, great proximity to many golf courses. TEN STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Before I get into the house itself, I'd like to start by saying Sheryl and Anthony are the type of people you want to rent from. We had a couple issues but they were quick to address our concerns and remedied the situation to our liking. That is so important in this day and age renting a home and I can't thank them enough for their prompt attention and friendliness in the process.For the condo itself, you're literally on top of the mountain there which I think is awesome. I'm a weather nerd and being up there is so cool because the weather is very dynamic and I enjoyed taking in the beautiful views throughout the day and witness the weather changes. The house is very clean and had all the amenities we could ask for. Everything worked well and the beds and furniture were comfortable. My wife and I always look at each rental and ponder whether the owners spend actual time there or not and you can tell by how comfortable everything is and this is a property that is loved and looked after. We will hopefully return and stay here get in the near future!
A lovely condo, great location, and wonderful communication with the owners. It was a very enjoyable getaway for both of us .... and our doggy!

Nice trip
We had a great stay! The weather was not great but we were able to play games and spend a lot of quality time together. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay here again.
Property is beautiful; spacious condo. Very quiet. Walking distance to the top of Sugar Mountain; many nice touches and amenities. Great mattresses and plenty of extra blankets/pillows.
I’ve lost count how many times we’ve stayed in this condo at Sugar Mountain Reserve - it’s our home away from home at this point! Great communication with the owners if ever the need!
We really enjoyed our time together. The cooking pots and pans didn’t match the otherwise excellent quality of our experience. But that is a small concern. We would stay here again!
