It's a nice property; spacious for a couple, clean, well functioning, and well equipped. The view from the deck is the best feature. So nice to be at the top of the mountain and enjoy the beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Our favorite place
Clean, beautiful views, everything you need for a great weekend!
We had a great time in this condo. We were lucky to have snow the day we arrived. We had a wonderful time and the views were fabulous. All amenities made the trip very pleasurable. Please note: Ski in/ski out is not for beginner skiers.
The layout of the condo was awesome for 2 families or 4 friends willing to share a queen and king size bed. Literally less than a one minute walk to slopes. The top of the summit express is where the walk path leads to. Awesome location.
Beautiful place very clean! Very cozy open feel inside with amazing views outside. When it’s not foggy, you can see so far out. The gas fireplace didn’t work properly so we never got a chance to use it. The ski in ski out is a little tricky, but still quite handy if you’re an avid skier. You were at the very top of the mountain, so it is quite breezy a lot. It is an adventure getting to the top of the mountain, but the roads are kept very clean and passable. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Gorgeous view
We loved everything about this place. Very spacious, perfect for our family of 3. Comfortably and beautifully decorated; very homey and cozy. It was well-stocked with a good variety of kitchenware to cook most anything you’d like. Proximity to the slopes was perfect for heading back for a rest and dinner during slope closure between 4:30-6, though you do have to walk on a short, somewhat rocky hill from the lift to get back to the unit, which can be a bit tricky in ski boots. Also, the lift that you need to use to get back to the condo serves blue and black slopes only, so just be aware that those preferring beginner slopes might not be happy with what they would need to ski down as a “ski-out” lodging option to get back to the beginner slopes without having to drive down the mountain. We prefer blue and black slopes, however, so this didn’t bother us. But the icing on the cake was the incredible view from the deck. Absolutely stunning, especially at sunset! We’d have loved the condo just as much without the view, but the view made it all the more enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again!

The view is nice
The property has a great view and a nice interior. It is close to the main ski lift but you have to walk across a parking lot and through a muddy/rocky haphazard trail to get to it. The condo didn't have any running water to drink or flush the toilets when we arrived. Luckily I found the main water valves and turned it on myself. The TV/cable in the main bedroom didn't work after several attempts of restarting everything. Trash bags were not placed in the bathroom trash containers. It's a nice place on the very top of the mountain but lots of little things kinda bothered me. Frustrating to plan and spend your hard earned money on a property that misses attention to detail.
Beautiful view!! House was very clean and comfortable. Loved our stay!!!

Beautiful Property
The condo was amazing. The furniture was cozy and very comfortable. We loved the views when the clouds lifted. And that porch was incredible. We look forward to coming back.
This beautiful condo on the very top of Sugar Mountain was perfect! Spectacular views and just a short walk to the slopes. Very well stocked and comfortable. We will be back!

Sugar mountain ski in/ski out
Great Condo steps away from top of Summit Express Lift. Very nice two bed two bath condo. Beds are comfortable and there is plenty of leisure space for a small family. Was not told that all the water in condo was shut off both at the water main and at fuse box. Arrived late (11pm) so had no water for first night. But property manager was very prompt in responding the next morning and we got water on right away. Place was clean on arrival, however no trash bags in whole unit. When they recommend having 4WD, they mean it! This is at the top of the mountain. Overall a great rental!
The pictures were exactly as listed. It was beyond beautiful. I didn’t give it 5 stars all around because at night the wind picks up really bad and literally rattles the doors. It sounds like hurricane winds. This is probably because you are at the way top of the mountain. Feet from the ski lift.
The communication with host could be better. The water was shut off upon arrival and no instructions on how to turn on were left. Thankfully had a handyman with me. The water heater was also turned off and fireplace didn’t work.
This is a really nice unit. The owners have done a great job making this location very modern and comfortable. Very clear, great furnishings, fantastic view and all round just a really fantastic place to stay!
