This was our first time at the mountains and it was such a great experience. The place was clean and had an awesome view to the other mountains, we enjoyed watching people skying from our balcony. Shopping places, food, and adventure is all close by.

We enjoyed our quiet stay. The shuttle was quick and ready to bring us up and down the mountain if needed. The hot tub and sauna were relaxing.
Stayed at sugartop for the first time with this trip for my 21st birthday loved the location and the room the amenities where amazing and staff was very friendly!
Great location, view of slopes off balcony, 2 bedroom/ 2 bath, stocked kitchen, fireplace, facility has pool, hot tub, sauna & more. Convenient to ski resort, shopping and restaurants
Beautiful views! Great property with everything we needed. The kids loved playing on the Xbox and the location was close to so many fun things! The communication with the hosts was excellent. We can’t wait to go back!
I enjoyed a delightful skiing getaway with the kids at this property. The place was clean, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The friendly and attentive front desk staff provided an added sense of security while traveling with my two young daughters.
Just what we needed for our family. Great to be near Grandfather mountain and the pool was a big hit with our kids. The place was clean and comfortable and just as described. Thank you!
We loved it here! The place was great for a family of 5. The air mattress came in handy. You’re only about a 5 minute drive from the slopes and 8-10 minute drive from downtown banner elk! I highly recommend bellas italian restaurant, tubing and Highland Ski rentals! Micheal was easy to work with and answered all of our questions promptly.

The apartment was just as described and it worked perfect for our family of 4. The view of the slopes is super nice and we didn't have issues with the shuttle at all. It actually was pretty fast to get up or down to the parking lot.
The pool, sauna, hot tub were perfect for the after activities to relax and unwind. Perfect ski weekend!!!!
No surprises, unit was clean, kitchen had all the essentials and beds were comfortable. We will be back. We came to ski but unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate.
My granddaughter enjoys skiing sugar mtn & we have stayed at this location & unit before. I enjoy the hottub, sauna,fireplace & view from the balcony. She enjoys closeness to the slopes.
Nice place but you have to use a shuttle to get in and out of the building. The shuttles run very frequently but if you are planning to go back and forth from the mountain more than once it becomes a hassle. If you're planning to leave for the day and not come back until the evening it's great.
Mike was extremely informative and very nice! We’ve stayed at this resort multiple times, but Mike is by fast the best host! Unit is very clean, easy to get to, and has a great view of the mountains. We will definitely be booking with him again!!
Nice to be on lower level because you can’t bring your equipment inside, no parking close by during holidays. Thankfully we used the stairs because it was so busy. This location would be great outside of the holiday season. We had everything we needed inside to unit. Great communication by owners.
You will LOVE this Hidden Gem! We spent 6 nights here and absolutely had the best time. Location is perfect, close to many things! The unit itself is great! Everything you need and priced so you won’t break the bank.
We spent our days our exploring the beautiful outdoors. And spent our evenings back at the condo relaxing and enjoying a quiet night.
If you are looking to take a mountain getaway to NC, do yourself a favor and book this unit!
We arrived during bad weather so the check in process was a little hectic. We had to park at a lower level lot and be shuttled up to the resort after you unload your luggage. The shuttle service was slow due to the bad weather. But overall the stay was fantastic and the shuttle service was a lot faster the next day.
GREAT communications with Host...Michael was very friendly & attentive! Weather was nice and comfortably COOL! Balcony views of ski-slope and sunsets were awesome! Furniture and beds were all very comfy. Kitchen was nicely appointed. First floor (above Lobby) and only 2 doors down from Main elevator so EASY "move-in & move-out". LOVE Sugartop!! Nice unit, includes W&D!
