OUR BEAUTIFUL CONDO UNIT:
Speaking of views, how about grabbing your favourite refreshment and sitting out on your own private balcony to enjoy some of the most beautiful sunsets this side of Heaven?

As you browse through the photos of our listing, you'll come across a floor plan of our condo, so you can get a good idea of its layout. It's a 2 bedroom unit with 2 full baths representing a split-plan with generous living and dining areas and a well-equipped kitchen.

The kitchen has been completely remodelled in recent years and boasts upgraded, name-brand appliances with wood cabinets and beautiful countertops. It also has brand new cookware, utensils and dishes to accommodate any need. Care to stay in and do some mile-high cooking one evening? Got you covered! All you need are the groceries, and there are two very nice grocery stores within a 10-minute drive in either direction.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
We do care about health and safety of our guests and tend to be eco-friendly when it comes to cleaning to avoid any causes of allergy.

LAUNDRY:
Either you are staying for a day, a week or more, for your convenience unit is equipped with a private washer and dryer. Ours is a Maytag stacked unit and is located in the hall closet. We also supply a couple of complementary single-load, all natural laundry detergent packets. For backup, you're also just a few steps away from the 9th floor laundry facilities. The trash chute is also just a few steps away, right next to the laundry room.

BEDS, BATHS, AND WAY BEYOND:
Your comfort is our goal, so we've gone the extra mile to help you get a good night's sleep. Our master suite boasts a huge, king-sized bed that's topped with luxurious organic linens and a variety of hypoallergenic, down-alternative pillows in your choice of "soft, medium or firm" comfort.

Our guest bedroom offers the same bedding, but in twin sizes. For your viewing pleasure, a 40-inch "Smart TV" is provided in the master suite and a 32-inch "Smart TV" is provided in the guest suite. Both bedrooms have closets, dressers, nightstands and large windows that allow you to take in those wonderful mountain views! And on the 9th floor, you won't need to draw the blinds for "privacy". Not an issue here (perhaps just for sleeping in)!

The bathrooms are convenient to each bedroom and have everything you need to help freshen up or wind down. We provide an initial personal supply of organic soaps, shampoos and lotions, as well as plush towels that are sure to enhance your bath experience.
When ready to hit the pool, hot tub, sauna, or steam room, you'll find a supply of over-sized Spa towels in the laundry closet.

MISC:
For your convenience, you'll find an iron and ironing board in the guest bedroom closet. A hair dryer can be found in the master bath lavatory cabinet. *Videos come by way of FREE NETFLIX which gives you an endless supply of movies, documentaries and programs to watch commercial-free (instructions in the unit). 50 music channels are also included. This provides more choices and convenience for our guests.

For those occasional warm summer days we provide ceiling fans in each room. (Air conditioning systems are generally unnecessary, and a rare find in our higher, cooler elevations.)

We appreciate safety standarts and comfort of our every guest so that we have a team of professional housekeepers to perform a thorough cleaning and restock items after every stay.
*Great Rates: Nightly rates are for DOUBLE occupancy.
Each additional guest is $25.00 per night. We offer discounts for over 7 day stays.
NOTE: If you consider a 30+ day stay, please contact us prior to making a reservation as it is a subject to approval.

THE CITADEL:
Just so you are aware, our condo is in the slightly newer Citadel Tower wing. This places it close to the public laundry facilities and trash chute (very convenient) and in a quieter environment. When you exit the main elevator on the 9th floor, you'll turn right and walk to the end of the corridor, then continue on through the door marked "Citadel".
Make lasting memories! Come visit the heart of the High Country and take advantage of endless opportunities for fun, entertainment, and just, pure relaxation during fall, winter, spring or summer - Sugar Top always has things to offer for every kind of traveller!

***Parking Notes: Due to the mountaintop resort nature of Sugartop Resort Condos, they had to build it with multiple parking lots in addition to the main one that loops around the building. As such, the upper level parking is prioritized for the owners, with guest parking based on availability. During busier times, guests may be directed to one of the lower lots to park. In this case, Sugartop has a shuttle service to quickly whisk you back and forth and give you curb service. Staff are always prompt, courteous and available 24/7. (Busy times can be some weekends, holidays, and summer months when seasonal residents arrive.) When this occurs, guests can always load and unload at the main entrance, and call ahead to the desk to have a shuttle waiting for their departure.

Condo is perfect for singles, couples, or families with children over 16! Number of guests enforced and verified!

THINGS TO DO IN THE AREA:
Looking for things to do on your next vacation? Look no further than the High Country of Western NC! Whatever your age, status or desires, you should find an array of pleasing activities to choose from - all year long! And as our special guests, you'll be comfortably and conveniently located right in the middle of it all...
For example, this is hiking and biking "paradise" and an awesome region to just get out and cruise some of our scenic back roads, and the world-renown Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoy golf? You'll love the beauty and proximity of the local Sugar Mountain Golf Club. The more adventuresome can try their hand at zip-lining, horseback riding, canoeing, and white water rafting. There's also a wide variety of shops and dining establishments to explore...

You'll also find numerous attractions such as Grandfather Mountain, the original Mast General Store, Linville Falls, Linville Caverns, Tweetsie Railroad, Mystery Hill, Blowing Rock, and many more. And remember to pack a lunch if you'd like to stop by one of our pretty parks or picnic areas along the way...
Many mountain towns tend to slow down in the wintertime - but not us! We are the best snow skiing destination in the south, with a variety of venues and slopes to challenge you. You'll find everything from skiing, to snowboarding, to tubing, to snow-shoeing. And there's no shortage of instructors, equipment rentals, events and activities. And as a bonus for OUR guests, you'll be able to look right down on Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and watch all of the activity right from your balcony or window. (They even offer a "courtesy coach" to our building.) You'll also find several of our attractions to be open year-round.

lovely space, lovely view
The facilities are very well maintained and clean, and the unit we rented was really wonderful. The bed was comfortable, as was the living room furniture, and the kitchen was well-equipped, though you might bring your own dish washing liquid, as there was none there. The one issue was the disparity in check out times. VRBO listing said check out was noon. The Condo rules said 11:00. The East/West vacations management company said 10:00, with a fine if you were not out on time. We did not get clarification from the agent, so just vacated at 10:00 rather than risk a fine. Otherwise, lovely place to vacation.

You guys didn't honor my reservation
I'm not happy at all with VRBO. We had a place at Sugar Mountain reserved, only to get there and realize somebody else was already in the unit. The representative from VRBO's response was either I could reschedule for a few days later or go quite a bit away to another place. This was my only vacation time and it's the place my wife was very excited to see. So her, the lady who contacted me, offer was not good at all. Yes, in the end they refunded all my money, but now I'm stuck trying to find a new place to stay. After hours of searching and being told by every decent hotel that there was no vacancy, we found a overpriced room in a small Inn. So yeah my experience with this company is not a good one. And what was their way to try and make it better, pressure me into booking at another site for a later vacation. They kept telling me I had to hurry up and make a decision. I don't know what time I'll be able to get off work and we plan out our vacations, so after we couldn't choose by the time we was done with the vacation we was already on, the representative no longer wanted to book us for a later date and stopped communication. I'm sorry but after all of this I can't recommend going through this service for a place to stay. On top of everything she was blaming a worker for the problem saying he got COVID and didn't turn in our reservation. I'm sorry but that is not a good excuse in this day and age. Why wasn't it booked by us right away?

Nice condo with a great view of Sugar Mtn. area. The building is nice but there's not much to do on campus. Parking is an issue. You have to park in one of the below lots and wait for the shuttle to transport you back and forth. It makes going in and out a bit of a pain. Also, the 2nd night another couple - with a key - came into the condo! They had booked it the night of the 29th and 30th. We had booked it the night of the 28th and 29th. I have no idea how this happened. We booked here on Orbitz and they booked on VRBO, so apparently, the two did not communicate, but the fact that the property manager didn't catch this is unacceptable. Also, we got a message the night before from the property manager that check-out was 10AM. On the refrigerator and in the welcome packet it says 11AM, and Orbitz told us 12N. When I sent a message to the manager asking why it was 10AM instead of 11AM like it says in the condo or 12N as it says on Orbitz, they simply responded saying, "Those are wrong." We left at 9:55AM, but it seems like the communication here needs work. Nice condo at an okay price, but I would not stay here again.

Room with a View
The property is on the 9th floor of a resort on the top of a hill. The views are wonderful from the bedrooms, the living room, and the balcony. The only frustrating part is the parking arrangements, but they have a shuttle to go from the front door to your vehicle 24hrs a day. The pool on the property also has great views and is very clean. I would bring my family back to this property if we went to Banner Elk, NC again.
