Slopeside Retreat; Summer Escape, Trails, Views, Fireplace, Wifi

Summer has arrived at Sugar Mountain, and Slopeside Retreat is ready to be your favorite High Country hideaway. This bright, cozy 3-bedroom condo sits steps from the mountain — where cool mornings, green trails, and pure mountain air make every day feel like a gift. Come home to a crackling gas fireplace after a day of hiking, sip coffee on the balcony while a creek sings below, and let the slopes-turned-trails remind you that this place was made for all seasons. Mid-term renters are warmly welcomed — stay a week, a month, or all summer long. Your mountain escape is waiting.

THE SPACE

Why Guests Love It in Summer
Unbeatable Location: Walk out the door and straight onto mountain trails. Hop on the scenic lift for breathtaking views that stretch for miles.

We loved the stay. We have young children so being slope side was really great for us. It is a short drive down to the main lodge at Sugar Mountain too which was very helpful. We cant wait to come back!

We loved the condo. It is in an amazing location. It was clean and updated inside. We spent lots of time out on the balcony on the porch swing enjoying the skiers and snowboarders. Would definitely recommend.

I rarely take the time to review but wow what a kind and organized host and such a wonderful place! It was so nice to watch the kids ski from the back porch. The house was perfectly organized everything accounted for. WiFi- perfect. Entry - perfect (even with the security gate layer) exit instructions simple and reasonable. My daughter had a nasty fall on her snowboard. We spent the evening at the hospital and they allowed a late checkout with very little notice and offered kind supportive words. Thank you for this stay!

Great slop side condo

The location is right on the easy street slope which was prefect for our group. Walking to the lodge was easy and quick, especially when not wearing ski boots! Getting to and off the slope was a workout because you have to walk around and down the building but if you’re prepared it’s doable! We had 5 adults which I would say is the max to remain comfortable but it could easily fit 4 adults and kids! We had a little cleaning issue when we first arrived but the owner was very helpful and had the issue fixed quickly! Out of our years of renting ski-in ski-outs this was the best location and most helpful owners!
