Per the building's HOA, air conditioning of any form is under review. AC is not guaranteed for reservations in 2024. Ceiling fans are present in each bedroom and the family room. The property has large windows in each bedroom as well as windows and a sliding glass door with screen in the common areas of the home. Baseboard heaters keep the home warm in winter, but a heat pump is being installed spring of 2024. More details about the unit are below!

Welcome to Sugar Mountain Serenity! This one-level property, the top level of an iconic Sugar Mountain roundhouse, is a perfect choice for your next mountain adventure!

Accessed via a short flight of stairs from the parking area, you'll find everything you need right at your fingertips when you enter. The family room is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the gas fireplace, big TV with Streaming services, and a nice selection of comfortable couches. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics you'll need for preparing snacks and meals as well as a dishwasher. In warmer weather, open the sliding glass door to enjoy the private wrap-around deck. Once the leaves fall, enjoy your coffee and the profile view of Grandfather Mountain from the dining table. Peg storage for skis is located on the exterior right by the front door.

There are three bedrooms here, all located off the family room. The master suite has a King bed, TV with Streaming services, and private bathroom with a tiled tub/shower. There is also a Queen bedroom with TV and Streaming services as well as a bedroom with two sets of twin bunk beds; these two rooms share the second full bath off the hallway. Family friendly games, puzzles, and books are located in the bunk bed room (please leave for the next guest). Extra pillows, blankets, throws, and a HEPA air purifier are provided. A full sized washer and dryer are located off the hallway.

Nice and quiet
Nice cabin in a quiet neighborhood. Comfortable furniture. Bathrooms a little on the small side, but clean and functional. Excellent views of Sugar Mountain resort and surrounding mountains. Biggest complaint is not being able to see the exact address prior to booking (VRBO). Thought we booked a ski in / ski out cabin. Definitely not the case.

Not ski in/ski out as claimed
Very nice clean property but this is not a ski in ski out place has claimed. There is a steep curving street just to get to the actual cabins or condominiums that are on the ski slope area and is way too far to walk. I did like they added a Christmas tree place and it had all the utensils and everything I needed to cook and the king size bed was very nice as well as my boys rooms.

Cute place
I’ve stayed at a lot of other rentals in the area. The master bed was super comfortable. However, the heating in the unit was uneven and the master room was really cold. The house was well set up and the fireplace was easy to use. There was no coffee pot but that’s okay because we were able to use the Keurig. The house could use extra blankets. Getting to the slopes was not easy by foot and needed to drive to the lot. I’ll likely be back though. It was nice and quiet.

We had a great time
Overall, really good place to stay. Needed better instructions on where the lockbox is located. There's a combo lock on the door so we assumed that was where we used our code. There was a lockbox that was hard to see in the dark when we checked in. We couldn't make the gas fireplace work. You should include clear instructions on how to get it to work.

Horrible stay
First of all the place IS NOT ski in/ski out. To access the slopes you’ll need to walk through the parking lot, cross a road in the neighborhood and then down several steps. Not convenient, especially with small children. Upon arrival we found diarrhea in one of the toilets. It was also clogged. The entire place was absolutely filthy. I took pictures of dirty glasses and utensils that were put away, stains on walls, back of one bathroom door, etc. The cable does not work. You’ll need to use your own accounts to stream live TV and the internet is awful so you’ll only be able to watch for about 20 minutes at a time. Also, Sugar Mountain is a joke. That was an entirely different nightmare for us. I do not recommend at all. We left a day early and looking back we should have left as soon as we arrived. We’ll never return to Sugar Mountain. I did communicate with the rental company and was refunded a small amount of the entire stay. Parking is also an issue on the mountain. I absolutely do not recommend Sugar Mountain. Facilities there are outdated and dirty as well.

Nice place, 2 min to Sugar
very nice rental. Two small negatives, first the lockbox for the key was on the railing across from the door, which had a numerical entry, small stuff but confusing. Second, no curtains on the big living area windows, which made you feel like a fish in a bowl at night. The big picture was, this is a nice rental.
