The resort and staff were phenomenal. The room was dirty and the pictures made it look like the view was beautiful. In fact you are on the 1st floor with a balcony view of the a/c unit or big metal box. Couch was old and very uncomfortable. The rugs were filthy. We left after the first night. Again resort was phenomenal, room was not.

Best deal at the resort!

We loved it here! The place was great for a family of 5. The air mattress came in handy. You’re only about a 5 minute drive from the slopes and 8-10 minute drive from downtown banner elk! I highly recommend bellas italian restaurant, tubing and Highland Ski rentals! Micheal was easy to work with and answered all of our questions promptly.

The apartment was just as described and it worked perfect for our family of 4. The view of the slopes is super nice and we didn't have issues with the shuttle at all. It actually was pretty fast to get up or down to the parking lot. The pool, sauna, hot tub were perfect for the after activities to relax and unwind. Perfect ski weekend!!!!

In looking at the internet, the property was supposed to be on the corner of the 9th floor of Sugar Top property! That is why I picked this one, so we would have a fabulous view!! Instead, we were on the 1st floor,, over the pool area, with very little view of the mountains. Very disappointing to us! Hated the room. as it was very outdated! I will probably use aiirB & B in the future and not VRBO! They would not move us to another condo!

Cozy, quiet, nice resting spot from all day hiking

Cozy little place for the two of us to stay while visiting the area for area hiking. Clean unit, accurate description in listing. The building is under renovations so we did come in one day and find the outdoor furniture in the living area which was really no big deal. We also had to keep the doors and windows shut while they were working above us. The staff at the front desk and gate were nice and friendly. We didn’t use the kitchen or the second bedroom/bathroom but everything seemed to appear in good working order. I’m guessing since it was not busy, we were allowed to park at the resort and not in the guest lower lots which was a perk! Would consider staying here again for sure.

Perfect experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The check in process was simple, the only downside being that we arrived late on a Friday along with a handful of other guests, and so there was a good wait before they could allow us to drive up to the condo to unload. This is because there is a very small parking area at the top. But the rest of the weekend went very smoothly and on Sunday night they even let us remain parked at the top so checking out Monday morning was a breeze (because most people left on Sunday). The lobby was extremely inviting with a big fireplace and fall decorations and it smelled wonderful. The staff were friendly. The pool was awesome (and Mike kept us closely informed of work being done on the pool but luckily they reopened it quickly). The pool was wonderful. My kids enjoyed using it while we enjoyed the hot tub. The condo was the perfect size for my family of 5. My 4 and 7 yo shared the queen bed, and the pack n play for the baby fit easily in the master bedroom. Instructions provided warned us that the water heater was good for about two showers so we planned accordingly and never had a problem with the water getting cold. We ended up visiting Linville (caves and falls), Tweetsie Railroad, and hiking Rough Ridge Lookout on the blue ridge parkway. Every activity was perfect for my young kids. We had an amazing weekend!

My review

The condo was very nice. Was stocked very well. Do need a least one sharp knife. Picked a loaf of bread. Without realizing it wasn’t sliced. Only a butter knife. The only negative thing I would say. Is that the pictures that you provided. Never shows that your balcony opens up to a roof. Kind of kills the view.

Disingenuous

I found out the property has no air conditioning by entering the condo when it was 88. Inside. Completely disingenuous right from the outset. Several dozen college age men pushed us out of the pool so we couldn't enjoy it Wednesday. Then, after dinner Thursday about 7pm, we were informed we couldn't park in the empty parking lot beside the building anymore. We left before I got upset and got back around 2am. Thanks for nothing. Terrible place.

Nice place. Location and parking is not ideal

Nice place but you have to use a shuttle to get in and out of the building. The shuttles run very frequently but if you are planning to go back and forth from the mountain more than once it becomes a hassle. If you're planning to leave for the day and not come back until the evening it's great.

Ski trip

We arrived during bad weather so the check in process was a little hectic. We had to park at a lower level lot and be shuttled up to the resort after you unload your luggage. The shuttle service was slow due to the bad weather. But overall the stay was fantastic and the shuttle service was a lot faster the next day.
