Overall good spot! Walkable to lifts and enjoyed seeing all the action from the deck. Nice condo layout for 1-2 families. Some details needs a bit of maintenance, but nothing that hindered our stay.

We loved the location as it was central to many activities. We visited during a very busy weekend with the Woolley Worm festival and App State homecoming. Hemlock Nob felt like a quiet sanctuary when we wanted to escape from all of the busy places. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

Definitely don’t stay here if you plan to ski. It snowed during our stay and the road or parking lot was salted or plowed. The unit was filthy dirty look like it hadn’t been cleaned in years.

Large condo, good location

This condo is well located, clean and spacious. The people who manage the property are very nice. The location is great. You can see the slopes from the living room. Very short drive, or walk through the woods to Sugar.

The property was a good location, clean and provided all the necessary amenities. Check in was easy and informative. Only issue I saw was the air vents need to be vacuumed/changed.

Not my favorite

Parking was a hassle. There are no ensuite bathrooms. The bedrooms are very strangely laid out. The primary bedroom has no closet. The other upstairs bedroom only has very small windows at the floor level. And the whole place could use a very good cleaning. It’s an old property. Which I understand, but the accumulation of dirt and dust is what I have a problem with.

Comfortable and quaint

We enjoyed it! We could see the magic carpet and slopes through the trees. It was just a short walk to the bridge over the creek to the resort which was convenient. The walk back up can be brutal with sore legs though. The unit had the bedding arrangements needed. The living room sofas aren’t the most comfortable, but we settled in as a group nicely. I’d recommend it for ease of use alone.

Nice place with good location for walking to slopes.

The property was great and good location! Only took about 2 minutes to walk to Easy Street slope. The only complaint I have is the water heater could not keep up. At about 10 minutes of running or 2nd person showering the water gets cold. This was after we realized on the first night both showers could only run at the same time for about 5 minutes. But we managed by running it a little cooler and spacing out showers.

Great Views

This cabin is a great little mountain getaway. We had plenty of beds and plenty of space to spread out. We loved watching the skiers on Sugar Mountain through the huge living room window, and the kids loved playing in the loft. The fireplace was cozy and relaxing. We used the cabin as a central location for snow tubing, Tweetsie Railroad, and a visit to a Christmas tree farm. We had to call the property manager and his response was quick and efficient. We definitely recommend Hemlock Nob!

Summer trip

Property was your typical mountain cabin with everything you would need for your stay. We had a good time and I have no complaints. Only thing to keep in mind for those wanting a cabin they can actually ski in/out of..this is not it. The cabin is on a high slope surrounded by dense trees. So altho its very close and u can see the parking lot of sugar mountain. You certainly can't ski or ride to the cabin. From the slope. You have to drive there

Park and Play

We traveled with our 6, 6, and 4 year old kids. Perfect distance for a short walk to the green slopes. We drove the 1st day to the lodge and then found the path to walk out under the easy street lift. Cute. Cozy little condo. Quick access to tubing and ice skating. Rental company very nice and pleasant to work with. Surprise, personal call to check on us to make sure everything was working as it should after we checked in. Over all, super great experience, location, and stay!

2-family ski trip

The condo is much closer to the slopes than the listing seems to indicate. You can see the slopes from the windows. The condo is nicer than the pictures would lead you to believe. We had one small problem and maintenance fixed it very quickly. We had a late check-in that was accomodated very well. Despite what another review said, there was "enough" hot water; there was not an unlimited supply and we ran out, but enough for four adults and 3 teenagers to get by. Olivia with the condo company was particularly helpful.
