Property currently under construction and i think future renovation. Not necessarily handicapped accessible. There will be steps. Very clean and some things updated though a lot of tile work needs to be renovated due to age and damage. Not enough pictures of rooms. Our condo was a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom though master was on the second floor. Staff was great and again very clean. Close to grandfather state park.

We enjoyed our quaint little suite, perfect for the cold weather and snow received while we visited. Great location to sugar mountain. Only downfall was hot water ran out before jacuzzi-tub filled, also delaying a hot shower.

Great for a family and close to the resort

This was the perfect location for a family when our goal was to go for skiing. It was a 5 minute drive which meant we could just drop and pickup the skiers. The two bedroom and two bath was huge and perfect for a family of 4. My favorite part was that it felt like staying at a home rental with the convenience of a hotel. A check in/check out desk, community room, large property with amenities.

It was a nice place. Very comfortable and good amenities. One downfall is the ability to hear everything your neighbors are doing. You can hear all the thumping from walking and the talking, especially in units with the shared door (which was dead bolted shut so there was no worries there).

For the most part, the unit was very nice.The deck that is right above the entry door, drips water right on the slight ramp to the entry. It freezes and is a hazard. The gas fire place was very difficult to light. Even the maintenance man had a hard time with it. I finally got it lit . The thermostat for the furnace was not functioning properly. It has a beautiful jacuzzi tub how ever the valve did not function properly. Once I fiddled with it I got it to work however the hot water source was not sufficient to fill the tub. There are no other hot tubs or spas available on the property . The gentleman at the front counter, did not even acknowledge me when I walked in for check-in. The other lady was very pleasant and helpful. I mentioned all these issues to the maintenance man. I can't imagine that I am the only one that would experience all these problems. Hopefully, they will address these problems in the future. door and freezes.

We rented a three-bedroom suite to go ski in Sugar Moutain before Christmas. This property really surprised us on the location, cleanliness, amenities provided and lovely atmosphere. All of us LOVED this property and cannot wait to go back. First, the location is great, 1.4 miles from the ski resort, 2 miles from downtown Banner Elk, with a lot of dining options around. The suit is really well maintained, with a well equipped kitchen, providing nice cooking utencils, cups, plates, and bowls. The unit has central AC system, making it really nice and quiet. It also has a gaslog fireplace, super nice for winter. All the rooms in the suite are large and mattresses are very comfortable. The community has a activity center, providing games, puzzles and showing movies every night. We LOVE LOVE LOVE the vibe and were really surprised by the amenities provided. We cannot wait to go back next year. Thank you SO MUCH for the well managed property!
