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.

April Escape

This is an excellent property. We particularly enjoyed the balcony/deck with such spectacular views. All of the other amenities were excellent. We arrived late on the day of arrival and retrieved a single key card for the gated property and one key for the door. We did not receive a passcode for the gate, nor for the individual unit's entry door. The door is equipped with a combination lock. The following day we reached out to the VACASA Customer Service Line, and a pleasant young lady assured us that she would get back to us with a solution for both of those needs. She never responded during the balance of the stay. We were able to find a way for either my spouse or myself to remain at the condo, or to leave the property together. A returned communication, with a solution or at least an explanation would have been appreciated. Also, In our discussion with Customer Service we were told that we could return the key and gate pass to the local office at checkout. As we checked out this morning we found that the local office was closed, and we resorted to placing the items in the key drop box.

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.

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.

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.

The view was breathtaking. The furniture was comfortable - except the master mattress, which was a cheep replacement. The knives we all wonderfully sharp.

Mattress needed

The place was beautiful and very clean but the mattress in the master bedroom was horrible!!!! My husband and I on our 30 anniversary had to leave and go sleep on the small bed. One side of the mattress is like it had collapsed. I was literally trying to sleep in a hole. Hopefully a new mattress will be bought before they rent it out again.

Great view of mountains. Well equipped kitchen. Reasonably well cleaned. Comfortable living room furniture. The beds were horrendous. They were so hard it was like sleeping on the floor. If an extra firm bed is what you desire, then this unit is for you. Otherwise, I would not recommend this unit. We would not release this unit unless the beds are upgraded.

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.

Great condo, stocking needs work

This condo is in a great spot on sugar mountain. There’s two reserves of condos like this with this one being lower down the mountain which we loved. It was gated and private with an amazing view even on the lower level of the condo building. It was absolutely perfect for us and another couple to spend the weekend with friends. Our only complaints are with stocking and cleanliness. In each bathroom the roll of toilet paper on the holder was half used (one roll was actually over half gone) and there were absolutely no extra rolls anywhere in the condo. For 4 people and 3 full days this was an issue and we had to purchase more. There’s only one extra trash bag in the kitchen as well. There were cobwebs on the lights and piles of hair in one of the bathrooms and dirty napkins were on the barstools when we walked in. Other than these small things, the stay was fabulous and we’d definitely book again! (but will have to pack TP from home next time)
