About this property

Breathtaking Mountain View-come enjoy this cozy retreat!

The “Sugar Mountain Retreat” at Sugar Mountain is the perfect mountain get-away! Located just a short walk or drive from the ski slopes of Sugar Mountain Resort & a 15-20 min. drive to Grandfather Mountain and all it has to offer! This 2 bedroom/2 bath condo located within The Reserve comfortably sleeps 4 adults. The living area includes a stacked-stone fireplace as well as year round views of the mountains. A large flat-screened Smart TV with Netflix and cable in the living area for nights you just want to relax inside. Both bedrooms have attached baths and the Master even has deck access and that gorgeous mountain view . Our kitchen is fully stocked with all the appliances you would need to enjoy a meal at home. Kitchen table seats 6 with 3 additional stools at the counter. We even have an Amazon Alexa for your use-music, news, information, etc.
This condo is located at The Reserve, a premier community on Sugar Mountain. Enjoy breathtaking views from 5000 ft. elevation-the mountain ranges seem to go on forever!
Reserve 18D has been decorated with gorgeous furnishings as well as hardwood flooring in the main living area. There is a King bed in the main, a Queen in the guest room and a luxury Queen sleeper sofa in the living room- all complete with linens and comforters. Each bedroom has a flat screen TV with Netflix access in the master. Both bedrooms are attached to a full-size bathroom. The kitchen is fully stocked with spices, coffee maker, stemware, blender, and plenty of cooking supplies. Washer and dryer (with detergent) also available for your use. This condo makes you feel away from it all but still within reach to grocery stores and lots of great restaurants! The 300 sq ft deck also includes tall chairs and a high top table and stools so you can easily enjoy the views-with additional access from the main bedroom. Take in the views while sipping on a glass of wine or simply read a book in the mountain breeze.

The Reserve offers ski slope access just down the road from our condo to the top of Sugar Slalom (recommended for experienced skiers only). Otherwise, it’s just a few minutes' drive to get down to the base of Sugar Mountain. But if skiing isn't for you, just take a quick drive to reach golf, tennis, hiking, rafting, bike trails, gem mining, antiquing, shopping and other nearby attractions. Whatever you choose to do, you can know you will be returning to the comforts of this beautiful mountain condo.

**During the Winter weather months (Nov thru March) a 4WD vehicle or tire chains are highly recommended and may be necessary for getting up the mountain.

Amazing cabin, location, and experience

This is our second time at this cabin. It's absolutely beautiful, fully stocked, and convenient to the slopes. The views are incredible and the cabin is incredibly clean and truly makes you feel at home. Thank you for such an incredible vacation. We plan to return for a third stay soon. We are grateful and would not choose to stay anywhere else in Sugar Mountain, NC. This cabin is the BEST. Thank you!

Cozy condo on the top of Sugar Mountain

We arrived following the instructions from Kim and after a quick process to retrieve the key from the box and turn on the heat and water, we settled in for a super comfortable stay. Condo is at 5,000 ft elevation with dramatic long range views, convenient to everything and worth every penny. highly recommend

Felt like home!

We really enjoyed our stay at this mountain home. The views were nothing short of amazing. Communication with host was superb. We were so pleased with all the extras this place had, for example spices, aluminum foil. All we had to buy was food because everything else needed to cook etc was already there. Also, so thankful for the board games as well :)

Fantastic!

The owners of the condo are true professionals. The pictures of the condo look great but it was better in person! It was super clean and well appointed. The kitchen was well stock with manny cooking and storage items.. Coffee and spices well stocked. The view out the back deck faces the mountain range and was truly amazing! Especially when the would sun set over the mountains with beautiful hues of red, pink, blue, orange. Wow! Location was convenient to all activities and access was super easy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in confidence! Thanks again guys for letting us rent your place!

Beautiful Condo - Close to Sugar Mountain

The condo was lovely, it is right up the street from Sugar Mountain - like minutes. The views are amazing. The condo was well stocked with linens and appliances and such! Unlucky for us we booked months before our travel date only to be met with the worst snow storm in decades for that area, we decided to go anyway not knowing how bad it would be. The temperatures for the area were very abnormal, for 3 days temps were in the negative digits, so we lost heat in the condo and wind was blowing so hard the fireplace would not light. We cut our Christmas Vacation short by 2 days. It was not ideal conditions, but the owners were amazing at communicating with us and working with us on the lost days of our stay. The location is ideal and we will definitely be back.

Awesome visit!

We had a great stay in the condo. Everything was SO CLEAN, the sheets smelled so fresh, and the carpeted areas were spotless. The fireplace was easy to use, Alexa was a nice addition, and the holiday touches were so sweet. The views are awesome, and the windows face the complete opposite way of the horrid Sugar Top building. There were plenty of cleaning supplies to use yourself including laundry detergent. Spices were available along with oils and leftover coffee grounds from previous visitors. Very close to the ski mountain and easy to drive in dry conditions. Snow would be an issue if you did not have AWD. Grocery stores and everything you need was in the village area. The alpine roller coaster was SO FUN! We will definitely be back.

Gorgeous place with a gorgeous view!

Most amazing things: the views and the location! You don't even have to get back on a main road to get to Sugar Mountain Resort for skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and tubing! And as I suspected, the pics of the view don't even begin to do it justice (the sign across from the front entrance of the building says the elevation is 5,000 feet!). The balcony, which is accessible from both the living room and the master bedroom is HUGE, quite private, and has wide open views of the mountains surrounding it. The gas fireplace comes on with the press of a button and puts out a good amount of heat in the living room. The living room in particular feels very spacious and has comfortable (and attractive!) furniture for hanging out watching tv/movies, and the distressed armoire is full of family friendly games, cards, dominos, a couple of puzzles . . . we loved our time here! It is definitely UP THERE, and the wind got really crazy a couple of times while we were there - but you're not going to be able to find a view like that many other places! We definitely expect to return in the future, especially if we plan a ski/snowboard trip to Sugar Mountain or Beech Mountain.

About the host

Hosted by Kim and John Quilla

Host profile image
We live in Denver, NC with our two sons. We have always loved taking trips to the mountains and are so happy to have found a place we can share with others to enjoy!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the grounds at The Reserve, with the natural landscaping and perfectly placed buildings. The views are top-notch as well as the accessibility to Sugar Mt skiing and Banner Elk. We wanted to find a place that made us feel remote, but was actually close enough to dining, shopping and everything else we love to enjoy! There are so many great restaurants and wineries in the area, and we still keep finding new favorites.

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique because it has so many personal touches that you won't find anywhere else...we take great pride in that!
