Reserve II 2-D

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

Take in the beautiful views of the mountains and valley from this condo's lounge-worthy deck. Tucked away in an incredibly popular ski area, this is the quintessential spot for satisfying the inner skier in you. This home also boasts a beautiful view of the Sugar Mountain ski slopes. Pull out the private infrared grill and cook up something lovely in the fresh air - you're on vacation, after all! Inside, guests of this condo will be blown away by the luxurious touches throughout. A gas fireplace will keep you comfortable. Guests can stay up playing board games in the common area, which is seamlessly connected to the dining area and fully equipped kitchen. You'll be able to cook up whatever vacation cooking project you're longing to create in this kitchen - but there are also wine glasses and a corkscrew for when you're ready to kick back and relax. Pull in the room's darkening shades when you're ready for a deeper rest during your stay in this secluded valley.

What's nearby:
Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, and Grandfather Mountain are all within 12-and-a-half miles of this condo. Guests will be able to access to wonderful slopes for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and just general exploring within just a short drive. Local ski shop Edge of the World (just five-and-a-half miles away) can set up guests with gear or even an entire planned day trip. If you're not into extreme sports, you'll love driving down the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. But you'll want to stop at the Mile High Swinging Bridge 11-and-a-half miles from the home - the incredible panoramic views just shouldn't be missed.

Mountain Retreat

The lodging was new and very smartly appointed. It was spotless clean and very comfortable as well. The furniture and decor were first class and everything we needed was at hand. The only issues we had involved communication with VACASA. We needed to stop by the VACASA office to check in prior to going to the property. This information was contained in the check-in instructions, however, it was at the very end of the instructions. The first part of the instructions dealt with how to use the door lock. We drove all the way up the mountain and then realized we couldn't enter the locked gate for the community. After retrieving a door key and key card for the gate, we did gain access to the home. It seemed that the instructions provided were for another property altogether. The only other thing that should have been communicated is that the Unit we stayed in was a downstairs Unit requiring us to carry all of our luggage and supplies down two flights of stairs. Fortunately, we are in good shape and could manage this detail however, this should be clearly noted in the property details. Older or less fit guests would have trouble accessing this property. Other than these inconveniences, we enjoyed our stay.

Great rental property!

The actual rental was perfect. Two bedrooms with comfortable beds (we brought our own pillows per another review), plenty of blankets, warm fireplace, amazing views, clean and nicely decorated. We were in close proximity to skiing, tubing, alpine coaster, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The downside to our visit, was the 24/7 communication line with the Vacasa call center (not necessarily the local employees). Our first problem was trying to access the condo community gate with the key card provided. It was faulty and it took about 30 minutes of texting and calling the 24/7 line (while sitting in the car outside the gate) for a random resident to let us in and give us a 4 digit code. The conversations were beyond frustrating. A local employee did eventually call and he was kind. He offered to replace the card and I told him not to bother since we had a code now. The next day we tried to remedy the broken WIFI. Again, a 30 minute conversation that led nowhere. The maintenance guy that called the next day (day 3/4) was wonderful, but a part was likely broken and would require a new one from spectrum. No WIFI for the weekend. We also didn't have washcloths or kitchen towels, which we requested and never received. We didn't even get a response. It didn't ruin our weekend, we still had a wonderful time. I hate to even take a star off because none of this falls on the homeowner, but it should be noticed. To note, check in is at 4pm, and the office closes at 4pm.

Great Thanksgiving break

Our family of 3 enjoyed our Thanksgiving in the mountains at this elegant condo. The decor is modern, clean and floors remodeled and the beds were comfortable. The sunrise and sunset views of the slopes and mountains was spectacular from the deck! We arrived in the evening and had to find the condo in the dark. The low misty clouds moved in making the windy road feel scary to navigate without street lights. It was a good thing our car was all wheel drive to make it up the steep drive. Our first night there was no snow on the slopes but after the cold snap when the temperature dropped to below 30F they had the snow blowers on all night making snow. Some family members did not appreciate the constant humming noise throughout the night. On arrival there were supplies like dish washing tablets, paper towels and toilet paper to last 2-3 days.The kitchen comes with the basics to cook, with kettles and coffee machines. The one thing that was missing was a cleaning sponge to hand wash the dishes, and only one hand towel. It made cleaning up after Thanksgiving dinner very challenging. The freezer ice maker was clogged up making it difficult to open the door, so we decided to leave it to the cleaning staff to fix. Overall we enjoyed our peaceful and relaxing weekend tucked away in the mountains. This will be a spot we will return to in the future during ski season.

Mountain Marvel

The property is quite lovely and located at the top of a long, winding drive on Sugar Mountain. The views from the deck were spectacular although sunsets were really not a thing as the house did not face west. We did not receive accurate directions and got a bit turned around getting there. If you can plug your GPS in with the address though, you should have no problems. There are only two suggestions I have for the property, one is to get new pillows for the beds and the second is to provide instructions on how to access cable and the streaming channels.

Great location for day trips to Banner Elk, Boone, and Blowing Rock. Amenities were everything we wanted including cable tv and central air, which is hard to find in the mountains. Overall clean but as with any rental property, it could use a good deep cleaning, just some dust in corners, etc. The water pressure in the main bathroom was fantastic! It was a very comfortable stay.

Great stay but so many emails/texts

The property was beautiful and very clean. The company- not VRBO but the rental company that owns the properties- sent me so many emails and additional things I had to fill out. I have to verify my identity, sign a contract and give my plate number for parking. We had to pick up the keys and gate card at the rental company, then drive 10 min to the property. That wasn’t bad, but google maps and Apple Maps don’t give correct directions to the property so follow the map the company gives you when you pick up the keys. The property itself has a great view and wonderful beds, decor, etc. very very clean! I don’t have one complaint about the rental.

The traveler: Nice location and view

Nice decor with a nice view but there was a fish smell on the fridge/freeze and some dirty spots here and there. This property is listed by VRBO and managed by Vacasa and multiple people will be sending you emails and text messages the days before, during and after your stay and it’s overwhelming on top of asking for additional time to check out with a cost associated. We left one day earlier due to the fish smell and the fact that there was not hot water. After calling one of the property managers multiple times with no luck. We all needed to shower!! >>

Great property and views

This is a great property, nicely decorated and fabulous views! Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication between Vacasa and the cleaning staff. We waited until 4 pm to check in and noticed there were no sheets on the Master King size bed, soap or clean towels. The property manager called the staff and one gentleman brought sheets for us to make the bed. About an hour later, a young woman and man came by asking what was needed and apologized for the condo not being cleaned. They had been told that the unit wasn't booked. I understood their dilemma. I made the King size bed and dried the wet sheets and towels that were left in the washer so we could get settled. I really loved the condo so it deserves 5 stars! However, note that you must go down 2 flights of steps to get to the first floor entrance so carrying luggage and other items required several trips. Also the handle on the storm door is not correctly placed, so you must pull up instead of pushing down which is a bit awkward. In addition, the code and gated entrance pass card is not easy to use. It took several tries each time we entered The Reserve II to get the gate to open. Now, that being said, the condo was most enjoyable and beautifully furnished.
