Perfect vacation spot

This was our second stay at Sugar Top and Grandfather Glory was perfect for our family of 4. The kids love the indoor pool and the board games were perfect to keep them entertained. The condo had everything we needed for our stay!

Best Christmas on The Mountain!!

The condo was perfect for our Christmas vacation. The owner had the place spotless and perfectly decorated for Christmas Day. My wife and I took my little girl here for the big day. The views are spectacular and it feels just like your in a log cabin. The host are so friendly and they helped make our stay that much better. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a perfect mountain top adventure with views to die for!!

Winter wonderland ski trip

Grandfather Glory was a perfect condo for our family of 4! It was very cozy and well furnished. I loved that there are lots of hooks to hang damp clothes after a long day of skiing and sledding. The large dining room table was a perfect spot for family board games. We loved the mountain views and we really enjoyed our stay here! (Just make sure you have 4WD if coming up when there’s a lot of snow).

Wonderful stay!

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.

Getaway

The condo was clean and comfortable for the 3 of us. I went with my 17 year old daughter and her friend. The beds were comfortable. The view was amazing. There was Food Lion about 5 minutes away from the condo. There is Walmart in Boone about 25 minutes away. Sugar Mountain resort had amazing and friendly staff for skiing and snowboarding. Sugar Top front desk was friendly and helpful. Thank you for an amazing time.

Absolutely gorgeous mountain retreat

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.

Magical Family Trip

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!
