Take in the beautiful views of the mountains and valley from this condo's lounge-worthy deck. Tucked away in an incredibly popular ski area, this is the quintessential spot for satisfying the inner skier in you. This home also boasts a beautiful view of the Sugar Mountain ski slopes. Pull out the private infrared grill and cook up something lovely in the fresh air - you're on vacation, after all! Inside, guests of this condo will be blown away by the luxurious touches throughout. A gas fireplace will keep you comfortable. Guests can stay up playing board games in the common area, which is seamlessly connected to the dining area and fully equipped kitchen. You'll be able to cook up whatever vacation cooking project you're longing to create in this kitchen - but there are also wine glasses and a corkscrew for when you're ready to kick back and relax. Pull in the room's darkening shades when you're ready for a deeper rest during your stay in this secluded valley.

What's nearby:
Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, and Grandfather Mountain are all within 12-and-a-half miles of this condo. Guests will be able to access to wonderful slopes for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and just general exploring within just a short drive. Local ski shop Edge of the World (just five-and-a-half miles away) can set up guests with gear or even an entire planned day trip. If you're not into extreme sports, you'll love driving down the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. But you'll want to stop at the Mile High Swinging Bridge 11-and-a-half miles from the home - the incredible panoramic views just shouldn't be missed.

Mountain Retreat

The lodging was new and very smartly appointed. It was spotless clean and very comfortable as well. The furniture and decor were first class and everything we needed was at hand. The only issues we had involved communication with VACASA. We needed to stop by the VACASA office to check in prior to going to the property. This information was contained in the check-in instructions, however, it was at the very end of the instructions. The first part of the instructions dealt with how to use the door lock. We drove all the way up the mountain and then realized we couldn't enter the locked gate for the community. After retrieving a door key and key card for the gate, we did gain access to the home. It seemed that the instructions provided were for another property altogether. The only other thing that should have been communicated is that the Unit we stayed in was a downstairs Unit requiring us to carry all of our luggage and supplies down two flights of stairs. Fortunately, we are in good shape and could manage this detail however, this should be clearly noted in the property details. Older or less fit guests would have trouble accessing this property. Other than these inconveniences, we enjoyed our stay.

Had to leave day after arrival

Had to leave morning after arrival due to frozen pipes and sewage backing up into tubs, showers and toilets. Called Vacasa for help and no one called back, left and found somewhere else to stay, they are supposedly refunding our money.

Quick Response

We discovered there was no running water when we arrived. Elizabeth got in touch with us quickly and sent someone out to look at it. The water had been turned off due to a recent hurricane and William was able to fix the water issue promptly. The stay was relaxing and the condo was beautiful! Vacasa was easy to work with and we can’t wait to go back.

Bittersweet Stay

My husband and I have stayed at The Reserve several times in other condo rentals. This particular condo was beautiful, well appointed and the view was gorgeous. We had planned to stay 4 days / 3-nights but mother nature had other plans as we cut our stay short due to Hurricane Helena. We would definitely stay here again ~~ we hope and pray for all those affected by this horrendous storm.

Great rental property!

The actual rental was perfect. Two bedrooms with comfortable beds (we brought our own pillows per another review), plenty of blankets, warm fireplace, amazing views, clean and nicely decorated. We were in close proximity to skiing, tubing, alpine coaster, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The downside to our visit, was the 24/7 communication line with the Vacasa call center (not necessarily the local employees). Our first problem was trying to access the condo community gate with the key card provided. It was faulty and it took about 30 minutes of texting and calling the 24/7 line (while sitting in the car outside the gate) for a random resident to let us in and give us a 4 digit code. The conversations were beyond frustrating. A local employee did eventually call and he was kind. He offered to replace the card and I told him not to bother since we had a code now. The next day we tried to remedy the broken WIFI. Again, a 30 minute conversation that led nowhere. The maintenance guy that called the next day (day 3/4) was wonderful, but a part was likely broken and would require a new one from spectrum. No WIFI for the weekend. We also didn't have washcloths or kitchen towels, which we requested and never received. We didn't even get a response. It didn't ruin our weekend, we still had a wonderful time. I hate to even take a star off because none of this falls on the homeowner, but it should be noticed. To note, check in is at 4pm, and the office closes at 4pm.

Ski trip

Condo was nice and roomy. Clean. Guest bed was worn and not comfortable. If snow expected you need 4 wheel drive as condo is at botttom of several hills. Ski lifts viewable and could see skiers going down hill. Could hear snow blowing equipment through the night

Great Thanksgiving break

Our family of 3 enjoyed our Thanksgiving in the mountains at this elegant condo. The decor is modern, clean and floors remodeled and the beds were comfortable. The sunrise and sunset views of the slopes and mountains was spectacular from the deck! We arrived in the evening and had to find the condo in the dark. The low misty clouds moved in making the windy road feel scary to navigate without street lights. It was a good thing our car was all wheel drive to make it up the steep drive. Our first night there was no snow on the slopes but after the cold snap when the temperature dropped to below 30F they had the snow blowers on all night making snow. Some family members did not appreciate the constant humming noise throughout the night. On arrival there were supplies like dish washing tablets, paper towels and toilet paper to last 2-3 days.The kitchen comes with the basics to cook, with kettles and coffee machines. The one thing that was missing was a cleaning sponge to hand wash the dishes, and only one hand towel. It made cleaning up after Thanksgiving dinner very challenging. The freezer ice maker was clogged up making it difficult to open the door, so we decided to leave it to the cleaning staff to fix. Overall we enjoyed our peaceful and relaxing weekend tucked away in the mountains. This will be a spot we will return to in the future during ski season.

Mountain Marvel

The property is quite lovely and located at the top of a long, winding drive on Sugar Mountain. The views from the deck were spectacular although sunsets were really not a thing as the house did not face west. We did not receive accurate directions and got a bit turned around getting there. If you can plug your GPS in with the address though, you should have no problems. There are only two suggestions I have for the property, one is to get new pillows for the beds and the second is to provide instructions on how to access cable and the streaming channels.

Wonderful home base for our trip

Great condo for our fall color trip to the "High Country" of NW North Carolina! Online photos looked so nice that I was a little leary it would be as shown, but I was wrong - it was exactly 💯 % spot on! Only spent 3 nights to visit Grandfather Mountain, multiple waterfalls, Banner Elk, Boone and Blowing Rock. All these areas were so close to Sugar Mountain. The condo was very inviting...exceptionally clean, well stocked kitchen that we used a few times and we always had the fireplace going when we were there. Would definitely not hesitate to book this property again!

Beautiful mountain views

Great location for day trips to Banner Elk, Boone, and Blowing Rock. Amenities were everything we wanted including cable tv and central air, which is hard to find in the mountains. Overall clean but as with any rental property, it could use a good deep cleaning, just some dust in corners, etc. The water pressure in the main bathroom was fantastic! It was a very comfortable stay.
