About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Grandfather mountain sunrise

Your own private retreat, just steps from the elevator yet a world away. Sweeping vistas from every window and a balcony to enjoy the view and the 70 degree breezes in the summer. You will feel right a home the minute you step inside the clean and comfortable condo. A King bed in the master with a connecting bathroom, and a Queen bed in the 2nd bedroom make this a perfect place for couples to relax. With 24 hour security and a receptionist on duty at all times, provides a great sense of comfort and convenience. Your own work out facility is amazing, with mountain views from an indoor pool, a sauna, steam room and two spas. Many of our guests love it so much, they don't want to leave the property! The Sugar Mountain Ski Resort Bus will pick up free of charge directly from the resort doorstep - no hassle with parking and delays, go straight to the slope just a few minutes away. The condo is fully furnished including a full stocked kitchen,with stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker for 12 cups or single keurig coffee maker for those that don't need as much motivation in the morning. The condo is on the second floor, which is wonderful for those windy days when they have to shut down the elevators.

**all animals are prohibited includes service and comfort**
The condo is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Great Family Vacation!

The condo is beautifully decorated and we loved the close proximity of the unit to the elevator. The kitchen is very well-stocked with everything you could need. The resort staff is friendly and helpful. We thoroughly appreciated the pool and hot tub after a fun day of skiing! Huge bonus for us is that the resort is all one building so you don't have to brave the cold when walking from the pool area to your room.

The property is unique and has gorgeous views. Our room was good. It was clean, but showing a good deal of wear & tear. The kitchen cooking & eating utensils were in poor shape & we had 1 coffee cup and 2 plastic cups which is not enough for a family of 5. Overall though the condo was nice. The property itself was ok. The views were gorgeous & the staff friendly but the pool was a bit dirty, the hot tub turned green & broke, the saunas weren’t working and the parking is a nightmare. Guest are not allowed to park up at the property because it’s for residence . They have a shuttle service, but it becomes burdensome to use & can get very back uped. I’m glad we stayed here, but will look elsewhere next visit.

Better Places to Stay

This condo was not cleaned prior to our arrival and it smelled. We called the owner and he suggested we leave and come back after 8pm and it would be done. Easier said than done with an infant past his bedtime , not to mention we needed wifi for a meeting. The owner was apologetic, but didn't really make it right. Looking back in the comments this has happened before although he said it was the first time. The condo is poorly located on the floor right above reception were the shuttle and everybody who is loading and unloading parks. During the summer, you will hear everything going on down there throughout the night especially if it is warm and you have the windows open.

Nice Condo

Even though it wasn't really an issue, the listing did not state that there is no a/c in the building and that you have to ride a shuttle to and from your vehicle. The a/c is not an issue because the air is so cool on top of the mountain. The shuttle runs all the time and there was only one time we really had to wait so it wasn't really an inconvenience to us but some people might be upset that they didn't know this ahead of time. Thanks for a beautiful condo.

Owners and building staff were very nice; the shuttle, laundry, hot water and drive down were issues

Really enjoyed the staff and owner, property was clean and views were great! For those bring family (3 or more) please note: The hot water heater is good for 1 hot shower or bath before needing to reheat for 20 minutes. There is no laundry in the condo, the closest washer/dryer are commercial (2-3 loads) cost $5.50 for wash and 25 cents per 5 minutes on the dryer. It is down a long hallway as well. There are single load w/d on other floors. Fine for two people, however for families staying more than a few weeks; it gets expensive. The worst issue of all is the shuttle situation (no fault of owner); we stayed in June and was told by security that we would have to park in lot C and take the shuttle up the steep hill to the condo. I was told the parking lot at the condo was for “owners”, however half the spots were for guests and the lot was never full. Despite the empty spaces we were told we would have to take the shuttle. We were also told we could not park in lot A, which is a short walk to the condo even though it has 42 empty spots the entire time we were there (30 days). Again, this is fine for a couple staying the weekend; however when you have to grocery shop for 5 people; drop and pickup kids from camp every and load/unload bags; it is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! The other thing to note if you are driving a mini van or other heavy vehicle; the drive from the condo down to the main road is straight down and very curvy. You have to put your vehicle in 3rd gear or your breaks will be smoking as mine did. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, both Banner Elk and Boone are 15-25 minutes away and TONS of stuff to do for both kids and adults. The owners always responded in a matter of minutes and the staff were always friendly.

The furniture in the living room was not comfortable. Plus there were no end tables to put our things on like a cup of coffee, iPad, phone,etc. it was all real cute and the kitchen had enough for our needs. The beds were great, we slept well. There were plenty of linens for our use. Fantastic views!

Fun Trip

This property was absolutely perfect for my friends and I. It was a short drive to the ski resort and grandfather mountain. There was plenty of room for the five of us. There was everything we needed. We did not end up even needing to use the air mattress the owner provided, as the couch was very big and comfortable. The shuttle drivers were all very friendly as well.

Beautiful Views and Convenient

The property was better than I thought when we arrived. The condo had all what you needed. The kitchen was fully equipped, the bed linens were nice and soft, bath towels were provided but not pool towels, plenty of kitchen towels to use. Comfy couch. We stayed in the master king bedroom and it was very nice. It was very convenient to have the floor stand fan in the room since it didn't have a ceiling fan. It made sleeping better since we are used to sleeping with a fan and it was very thoughtful of the owners to put a TV in the master bedroom as well. Our friends stayed in the twin bedroom and they said the mattress was not so comfortable for adults, but children would be fine in there. We recommend putting a memory foam mattress topper on both the twin beds so adults could sleep comfortably on it. Wished there was a washer/dryer in the room instead of going to the laundry facility, but we managed and it was all fine. Would definitely stay here again, it was very comfortable and close to Sugar Mountain Skiing. Suggestions to the owners: -change the shower heads to dual with hand spray and the shower head. - provide pool towels to guest or mention it in the listing to bring your own pool towels -matress pads on all beds -blankets for the couch -replace glasses that are already broken or cracked

Great sunrises and sunsets; nice condo set up and comfortably equipped. Loved all the bears.
