About this property

Sugar Retreat- just a walkway away from the slopes at Sugar Mountain

Beautifully decorated rustic condo with Stone Fireplace and huge window with 180 degree of Grandfather mountain.
We are located at Sugar Mountain, a short drive to Lees MacRae.
Three bedrooms each with a queen size bed and an adorable loft with 2 twin beds. All linens and blankets provided. Curl up with a book in one of our cozy chairs or couch in front of the gas log fireplace! Or when the weather is nice, enjoy sitting on our deck overlooking the mountains and view of Grandfather Mountain. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need to enjoy a nice dinner at home. Coffee pot and filters provided.
WiFi and smart TV in living room with Netflix available to watch as well as local channels.

A short, three minute walk down private nature trail to get to the slopes of Sugar Mountain. You can ski in the morning, come back to the condo for lunch, take a nap, and then ski again in the evening!

Nature trail has bridge crossing beautiful mountain stream which can be heard from the condo.

Property has outdoor balcony / deck overlooking Grandfather Mountain. Spectacular views. Ice skating rink, tennis court, and golf course within walking distance. Several mountain trails nearby.

Great location with 2 grocery stores (Food Lion and Lowe’s Foods) within a short drive. Several restaurants and coffee shops nearby also!

We love Sugar Mountain and the surrounding areas so please ask any questions you may have!

Great spot

Very comfortable condo, conveniently located walking distance to snowboarding and tubing. Not the easiest walk due to missing railing in some spots, but really close to the slopes. Mattresses were super comfortable and kitchen had everything you could possibly need.

It was the perfect spot with kids. It had everything we needed and it was SO easy to get to the slopes, child care center, etc. The weather wasn't great which made us even more grateful for the conveniences this condo had to offer. We had a wonderful trip! Thank you!

Amazing Time

We took a quick trip to Sugar Mtn. and couldn’t have stayed in a better location! Walking distance to everything. The kids loved it. The condo was clean and cozy and the kids loved the loft area. The property owner was informative about places to eat and see with the kids which was a huge help. We will definitely plan to go back and stay in this property again!
