About this property

Slope-side, Ski in-Ski out: 2 story Condo. Directly alongside the slopes.

Located on Sugar Mountain in the highly desired Bee Branch location. Slopeside 2 story condo. Walk to slopes, lifts, ticket booth, ski school, and ski lodge. It’s about a five minute walk to the first ski lift. Completely renovated with an open and spacious floor plan. Vaulted ceilings with gorgeous views of Grandfather Mountain directly from the balcony. Overlooks the ski slopes below along with a tranquil running mountain stream. Sleeps 8 with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths. The upstairs spacious BR has 2 full beds and a private bath. 2 downstairs BR's have a king bed in each. Spacious fully renovated and well-stocked kitchen with updated appliances and farm table that seats up to 10. TV in every room, WiFi, surround sound speaker in the living room, washer and dryer in condo, outdoor grilling area. No Smoking. Home is not childproof-children must be monitored at all times. There is one set of stairs in the condo without a baby gate, no childproof locks on cabinets or windows.

If you're staying on Sugar to ski, you are just a few steps away from the slopes, lifts, ticket booth, ski school, rentals, and ski lodge. If you are a beginner skier or have kids that are learning to ski or snowboard, this is a highly desired location as it is closer to the base of the mountain on “Easy Street” green trail (not leaving you at the top of the mountain on a more advanced trail).

No need to drive anywhere if you are looking to ski, ice skate, snow tube, go downhill mountain biking, play tennis or golf as this is all right on Sugar within waking distance from the condo.

We have stayed at almost all of the ski-in/ski-out locations in Sugar, and this was by far our favorite. Access to the slopes was incredibly easy, making ski days seamless. The condo was warm, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed, plus beautiful views of the slopes. Having a washer and dryer was a huge bonus. The host was responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great place right by the green slope. Just walk out the front door, down a small hill and over a little bridge to get to the green slope. If you want to do any of the blue or black runs, you’ll need to ski down the green, take off your skis/board & walk to the other lifts. The condo was perfect for our family of 5. We had everything we needed to cook our meals & wind down the day with games or a tv show.

We just had the best pre-vacation with Jennifer’s condo. It was my wife and I with our five boys and cousin. My wife is a travel advisor but I’m the skier so organized all of the logistics for a ski weekend in Sugar and she hasn’t stopped talking about how good a job I did dining this place. The location and convenience to the slopes, the spacious, functional, and cleanliness of the condo was perfect. I can’t recommend this place enough. As well, Jennifer’s responsiveness to questions on the VRBO messaging app was near real time. I was so impressed with her processionalism and timeliness for support.

Can't Beat the Location

This was our third year coming to Sugar Mountain, but the first time staying Bee Branch. Even though the other places we stayed were close by, there was nothing better than being able to ski to the slopes or walk to buy tickets. It was also great to be able to come back to the condo for lunch, rest, etc. The condo is a standard rental on Sugar Mountain. The inside has been updated, its clean, and the beds are comfortable. The location is what makes the property a 5-star place to stay.

Rough end to a great trip.

Location is great and condo is nice. We are accustomed, however, to having a kitchen and bathrooms with more of the needed supplies (bar of soap, blender, large pots/pans, clean baking sheet). With that said, assuming a stay at this condo is all about the skiing and Sugar Mountain activities, you will be happy with the location and likely not care about the kitchen supplies or cleanliness of the pans etc. Unfortunately, a great trip is having a rough conclusion as the owner improperly added charges for additional guests who were visitors without any initial communication followed by multiple unpleasant messages. VRBO customer service has been helpful so far, but given that the issue just arose and dispute just opened, will need to update once the situation is resolved. Been a long time VRBO guest and never had this happen before with an owner so this is unpleasant new territory.
