Awesome!
Me, my daughter and her friend were there for a soccer tournament (we won the championship!!) and the place was perfect for us! The view was amazing! The girls and I loved it! It was so cute and the girls definitely lived their best lives! The staff was also amazing and helpful! The only thing I would say and it’s not a negative but the shuttle. I would have rather have been able to park in the lot right out front and not have to go back and forth with the shuttle. But the shuttle crew were super fast and friendly! :)

Amazing Views
The views from the balcony were amazing. It was very clean and very close to the ski resort. It was not a big problem for us, but keep in mind you will most likely have to take a shuttle to your vehicle if you stay during ski season. We highly recommend staying here.

What a wonderful condo to stay at for the 4th of July week! The most spectacular display of fireworks right outside our balcony and all around us. We probably saw 6 different displays from all over because we were so high on the mountain. The condo is beautifully decorated and maintained; we had everything we could ever want for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We will be back!

Atlas Amid the Clouds
In Greek mythology, Atlas bore the weight of the heavens on his shoulders, but you’ll have no such chore at Elmer and Regina Purkey’s Atlas Trace. In fact, you’ll have not a care in the world at this delightfully themed retro unit. The view of Grandfather Mountain is spectacular in the sunshine, and even when you’re socked in by the clouds, there’s still a mystical feel to the mist. The hosts have thought of every amenity, and you’re near spring-summer excursions like the Grandfather swinging bridge, Linville Falls hiking trails, and Roan Mountain State Park. A top-floor, top-shelf abode.
