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.

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).

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!

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.

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.

The rooms had lots of storage and beds were very comfy. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Front desk was super helpful with all questions. The pool and hot tub was perfect for after skiing and utilized it every day! The location was super convenient to grocery store and ski slope. The owner was very helpful in answering all questions in a super timely manner! Overall, it was a 12/10 experience.

Perfect Mountain Condo

The condo was perfect and had everything we needed. The decor was done so well and made it feel super cozy. The only issue, which was not at all the owners' fault, was checking-in. It was snowing hard and we were not able to get to the front of the resort. The employees working at the resort that evening (guard shack, front desk, and shuttle) were not friendly nor helpful. I was not confident that we would make it to our condo that night. Fortunately, the staff working the next day made up for it! Shout out to Frank (front desk) and the female shuttle driver from Chicago. They were both very nice, friendly, helpful, and welcoming!
