Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Enjoy breathtaking views of NC, TN, and VA. Up close you can see Beech Mountain and Grandfather Mountain. On a clear day, the view is endless from the highest condo in the Reserve II complex. This beautiful home has recently been aesthetically updated with calm colors and cozy touches. Rest your feet on fun bear ottomans while watching TV on a large flatscreen TV and/or admiring the fire or view! Map out your ski plans on the Sugar Mountain wall map and rest your head at night on a comfortable Sleep Number bed where you can set it to your own liking. This retreat boasts creature comforts such as a fully-equipped chef's kitchen (with both an automatic drip or Keurig coffee maker) and a large main suite with a large bath, a reading nook in the main bedroom, and a large dining table on the deck for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. All these amenities are perfect for lounging after a day at the slopes, a day of golf, hiking, zip-lining, or just adventuring. If you're visiting in the summer, the large private balcony becomes a second living room with wonderful, cool fresh air. From the balcony, you can easily witness the beauty of Sugar Mountain trails and watch the skiers and mountain bikers.

Great views

The property was clean and well appointed. Great sunrises from the deck. From the pictures you get the impression that access from the parking lot is without stairs, but the unit is below grade and you have to manage a flight of stairs.

Beautiful Home and Views

Owners did not scrimp on quality of furnishing, decorating and having the best provisioned kitchen we have ever seen. I was pleased and would consider coming back again. Great views. Be mindful there is construction that often had the entrance blocked causing minor delays and noise.

Fall trip to Sugar Mountain

We had a WONDERFUL time here. It was very relaxing. The entire condo was gorgeous! & beautifully decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped. It was close to grocery stores & restaurants. The beds were comfortable as well. Although we had the lower condo, it didn't feel that way. The views were extraordinary , and breathtaking. We can't wait to go back again.

First Time on Sugar Mt.

This was my first time in the area and I loved the location. You get a beautiful view of the mountains and ski resort from the balcony. The short drive up the mountain can seem a little daunting, but I recommend experiencing it for yourself. The host provided brochures and guides for local entertainment that really came in handy. The location of the condo places you within minutes of various activities and sites. I look forward to booking this condo in the future. This cozy condo is one that I would highly recommend.

Onsite booking office not available

The onsite office was closed early and our welcome package was not left where it was supposed to be. Thankfully someone from another group was able to give us a key to the property or we would have been stranded with no access code. The location was clean but it is NOT walking distance to the slopes as indicated in the listing.
