Walk to ski slopes! INCREDIBLE MTN VIEWS,SUNSETS, HOTTUB, FIREPLACE

The “Summit Lodge” at Sugar Mountain has everything you could possibly want in a trip to the mountains! Located just a short 7 min walk from the ski slopes of Sugar Mountain Resort (direct walk or drive up slope access from the neighborhood) & a 15-20 min. drive to Grandfather Mountain & the Blue Ridge Parkway! This 2 bedroom/2 bath condo located within The Reserve I comfortably sleeps 4 adults. Large open-concept living areas with plenty of relaxing spots, large stacked stone gas fireplace, beautiful wood look flooring, King size luxury mattress in Master Bedroom, & dining table seats 6 + 2 person eat-in kitchen barstools. Kitchen includes everything you need to make you feel right at home, spice rack, stemware, blender, and cooking supplies galore! Enjoy the private bubbling hot tub/spa on the very secluded 300+ squ ft deck overlooking some of the best views you can find in the Blue Ridge Mountains! The deck has brand new Adirondack chairs/foot rests & dining table/chairs and access from the master bedroom! Feel away from it all but still within reach to 5-10 min down the mountain to 2 grocery stores, lots of restaurants & downtown Banner Elk!

The Summit Lodge is not positioned near any other buildings to the sides, which provides ultimate privacy and ample green space outside for the kids to romp and play! You won’t feel like you’re in a condo that’s for sure..

PLEASE NOTE/IMPORTANT:
•This unit requires stairs to access the unit- 2 short flights (approximately 15 steps total).
•SURVEILLANCE CAMERA IN USE AT FRONT DOOR ONLY

Insurance/Refundable Damage Deposit Requirements: we require both a $500 refundable damage deposit & that our guests purchase a $79 insurance policy (which covers up to $3,000 of accidental damage). The reason behind this is because the total damage could easily reach over $3,000 with the hot tub and other amenities we offer, also that insurance only covers “accidental”, so the $500 refundable damage deposit would cover intentional damage and or any damage that would exceed the covered amount of the insurance policy.

**For winter stays, The Reserve roads are all paved and usually well plowed, however it is recommended (& at times required) to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle or snow chains to safely drive roads in winter weather.**

The Summit Lodge at Sugar Mountain is enjoyable all year round! In the summer time it averages about 20-25 degrees cooler than CLT/ATL/Eastern NC and approx. 10 degrees cooler than other “mountain towns” due to the high elevation (5,000+ ft)! Through Spring & Summer you have endless activities such as white water rafting, horseback riding, fly fishing, wine tasting at the nearby beautiful vineyards (i.e. Grandfather Vineyard, Linville Vineyards, Banner Elk Winery & Villa), river tubing, hiking, zip lining and much more! Fall is the perfect time to cruise the Blue Ridge Parkway to view the bright foliage, or you can enjoy the incredible view from the huge deck! The green colors in summer are also quite amazing! During the winter months you can partake in skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing & even horseback riding! Whether you want to kick back n’ relax, or have a thrill, there is something for you in the High Country!

We also have a Guest Information Guide which includes helpful details on local dining, access to lifts, outdoor activities, hiking, directions to the Blue Ridge Parkway & Grandfather Mountain.

Entertainment: Games, cards, books, magazines, Charter cable via living room TV, Chromecast for your streaming convenience in LR/MB with very fast/reliable 100 MBPS WiFi (5G & 2G)!

A Sugar Christmas

We booked this condo for our Christmas vacation this year and could not be more pleased. Check in was extremely simple and the living areas and bedrooms were very spacious and clean. The balcony had amazing views! The kitchen has all you basic cooking necessities- I had everything I needed to make a Christmas lasagna and there is a Food Lion at the foot of the mountain (about a 10 minute drive) to get groceries. We had a gift bag left for us which was filled with local goodies to enjoy. The only negative is my husband is now looking to buy property in the area! Hahahaa! We would definitely recommend this place and would love to visit again.

We really enjoyed our time together. The cooking pots and pans didn’t match the otherwise excellent quality of our experience. But that is a small concern. We would stay here again!

Perfect family holiday

Our family of 6 spent 5 days together snowboarding, hot tubing, playing games, cooking and eating in this lovely fully stocked condo. The owners were always quickly responsive and made sure that no questions are concerns were left unanswered. Thank you for this rejuvenating vacation! Waking up to the view from the place has been truly appreciated.

Stunningly beautiful views, comfy beds, and a wonderful kitchen to cook!

They really provide small things to make your stay everything it can be. We cooked a Thanksgiving meal here and were very impressed by all the casserole dishes, Tupperware, glassware, and random items we used like a blender, peeler, etc. A very cozy place to unplug and we were thrilled to be able to bring our dog. The hot tub is really the way to end a day of hiking/sightseeing/skiing--and WHAT A VIEW!

Mountain Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Summit Lodge. The views are absolutely stunning! The property had everything we needed for a restful time away from work and school. Our two dogs loved it, too! We visited Linville Falls and Grandfather Mountain and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We hope to return again!

Sugar Mountain getaway

Property is exactly as described! Lots of extra blankets and cozy fireplace were nice. Access to Sugar Mountain slopes is a 5-10 minute walk, as mentioned but just fyi if you have novice skiers, it does put you at the top of the mountain with difficult slopes ahead. It is a 10-15 minute drive to the bottom of the mountain which you may prefer if you are not experienced skiers. We enjoyed our stay here and will be back!

Great location

Great location and beautiful view from the deck. Very clean The owners were very communicative when the hot tub wasn’t working properly. They had someone come fix it as soon as they could and even offered to refund part of the trip since it didn’t work for the majority of our stay. It was a bummer not having a hot soak after a day on the slopes, but their efforts to help did not go unnoticed. Highly recommend

Beautiful Condo!!! Highly Recommend!!!

Lovely views! Sunset in the hot tub was spectacular! Fireplace! Full kitchen and spacious bedrooms. Walk to Sugar’s Summit lift is uphill, however, we loved the location!!! Every morning we were able to board down the slopes to get lift tickets, then ride the lift back up to the condo at the end of the day! Super easy! Also, condo is close to Food Lion and Lowe’s Foods, restaurants, shopping, and Alpine coaster. Will definitely try to book here in the future!

Happiness

We've stayed here multiple times and it never disappoints. Master King bed very comfortable; this unit stands alone and has it's own little parking area, which is flat and has no cars coming by which we really like! Has all the comforts of home with a view that is pure heaven. We will continue to come back :)

Ten Stars

We have been coming from Florida to NC every summer for over 15 years. We have never stayed in a more beautiful, fully equipped unit. The Host and Hostess were so welcoming, responsive and a pleasure to work with. The hot tub on the deck was a spectacular addition. We were never hot tub people but the view of sunset turned us into daily “hot tubers.” The furniture, bedding, towels ,blankets and pillows were plentiful as was the kitchen assessories. We can say enough great things about the unit and the Hostess. We feel like she has become our friend and we will be staying there next summer. The location is also fabulous…close to Italian restaurants, Chinese restaurants, nail salon and grocery stores. Also for golfers, great proximity to many golf courses.
