About this property

Slope-side. Near Grandfather mt, vineyards, golfing & fishing

This Slopeside 2 story condo is located in the highly desired Bee Branches with views of Grandfather Mountain. The location is one of the best on the mountain for skiing in the winter and down hill mountain biking in the summer. We are located directly along side the slopes. This condo is within walking distance to all ski and bike lifts, ticket booths, ski schools, ski lodge, snow tubing, and ice skating. It’s about a five minute walk to the first ski lift. If you are a beginner skier or have kids that are learning to ski or snowboard, this location is one of the best as it is closer to the base of the mountain (not leaving you at the top of the mountain on more advanced trails to start your day).
This 3 bedroom, 2 full bath condo sleeps 8, has vaulted ceilings with a balcony nestled amongst the trees with views of Grandfather Mountain while overlooking the "Easy Street" green trail. There is a relaxing, tranquil running mountain stream just below. Spacious and comfortable with a TV in every room, WiFi, washer, and dryer in the condo and outdoor grilling area. No need to drive anywhere unless you are looking for other things to do.

Recently renovated condo with a beautiful new kitchen designed with a farmhouse sink, all new appliances, granite countertops and new flooring. Newly renovated bathrooms. No AC

This is a No Smoking condo. 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.

Slope view convenient condo

Not quite ski in ski out but a quick walk down a flight of stairs and short walk down a hill and across the bridge. Warning…muddy walk when temps are above freezing. Kitchen is small but worked well for our purposes with most conveniences you should need. Loved watching the skiers from the balcony. Owner was very responsive and check in was a breeze. Loved that the main bedroom is upstairs separate from the other two bedrooms for some privacy and also hard to find a king size bed in rentals. Grocery store and other amenities are very close. Overall happy with our stay and would recommend.

Slop side on Easy Street ski run!! Right at the lift!

Jennifer, the property host was perfect with all details, directions to and getting into the property. Communication was great. The Condo is a nicely appointed 3/2 corner unit. Very clean, 4 nice beds, great fireplace and balcony overlooking the creek along the slop. You can walk down over the wooden bridge right onto the Easy Street Slop. Pre-buy lift tickets and you can ski right to the lift. The drive in was just as the directions stated. Nothing more would be needed ( extra towels) This truly is a slop side condo. Grocery store not far and restaurants all had good food. We would stay here again and have told friends about it. Fantastic job Jennifer!

Excellent Mountain Vacation House

We had an incredible time staying at this house overlooking Sugar Mountain Ski Resort (parents 7 year old, brother-in-law and the in-laws). The house was exactly as it appears in the listing and the owner Jennifer was a wonderful host with great communication before and during the stay. The 3 bedrooms were perfect for our group, the amenities in the house were exactly what we needed for the stay and the view from the back deck was incredible (Easy Street Lift / Run and the Mountains). The back deck had sun all day long so it made for a great morning and afternoon sitting in the sun watching the skiers below. A quick trip to the backside of the house and you have a walking bridge that takes you out to where you could strap on your skis and get down to the Easy Street lift and club house.We would absolutely seek out this specific property for our next trip to Sugar Mountain.

Quick Spring Break Ski trip

Loved the location of this slope side condo. Perfect for our family of four. When the grown ups were done skiing, we could sit on the balcony and watch our teenage boys ski the evening away. The kitchen was well stocked for us to do a little cooking. The condo satisfied all our needs and was conveniently located for hiking or skiing. The owner was great at communicating with us! We hope to visit again soon.

Very Convenient to Slopes

Great location for access to the slopes. We debated this location and one at the top of Oma's Meadow at Sugar Ski and Country Club. After being there, I'm very glad we went with this option. The green trails near this condo are perfect for the beginning of the day, easy to end the day at after catching the last lift ride up, and easy to buy lift tickets and the lodge. I highly recommend this VRBO!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Host profile image
For as long as I can remember, I always loved the outdoors and all it has to offer. Nature brings me a sense of peace and happiness, so it brings me so much joy to share my home with others so hopefully, you can get to experience the same with your family and friends!
I was introduced to Sugar Mountain when we brought our young children here to ski. We loved the experience, the family time we got to spend with each other and the memories we made and will always have. We loved it so much that we decided to purchase a vacation home here. We continue to love it here and continue to make everlasting memories!
Sugar Mountain and the surrounding areas provide an endless number of outdoor activities to enjoy. Hiking, mountain biking, fishing, river tubing, white water rafting, kayaking, canoeing, driving along the blue ridge parkway, sightseeing, skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, ice skating, gem mining, golfing on Sugar’s gorgeous golf course, visit grandfather Mountain just 10 minutes away, wine tasting at various local vineyards including Grandfather Mt vineyards, Linville vineyards, and Banner elk Vineyards are just some of what this area has to offer, all within close proximity and some just outside our home within walking distance. The list goes on and on and that’s what I love about this area! I truly believe we are in an excellent location no matter what you are here to do.

Location, Location, Location. Whether you are here to ski or here to enjoy what the NC mountains have to offer, golf, go wine tasting, hike, fly fishor would like to take a scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, this location allows for easy and close access to it all!
