Mountainside snowbird-friendly condo near golf & skiing - walk to lifts

Bee Branch 03

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The slope views don't get much better than off the back deck of this Sugar Mountain condo! Walk across the footbridge over a stream and you're at the mountain's beginner trail. Additionally, the Sugar Mountain Ski Resort is just steps away, here you'll find an outdoor skating rink, snow tubing, mountain bike tours, and a full golf course. Away from the resort, pay a visit to the Foggy Mountain Gem Mine and the Mile High Swinging Bridge.

After a snow or sun-filled day of adventures, the interior of Bee Branch is the perfect place to relax, whether it's by the cozy fireplace, or around the dinner table for a home-cooked meal made in the fully-equipped kitchen. After eating, gather on the comfortable seating in the living room and stream your favorite TV shows and movies. When you aren't hanging out here, utilize the swinging deck chair for reading, sipping, and visiting.

Additional interior perks include a private washer/dryer and board games.

Parking for skiing is a huge problem at Sugar Mtn, especially on busy days. This property allows you to walk directly onto the slopes and has a great view. Interior is nicely decorated, clean, and well equipped.

Excellent location in proximity to ski slopes

Great stay but it seemed housekeeping was interrupted before finishing. Towels left wet in washing machine and linens cleaned but not on bed. Judging by other reviews this was an anomaly. Would stay again.

Disappointing

The house was not clean when we arrived. Dirty glass and silverware in the sink, leftover food in fridge, trash was not taken out, kitchen counters and stovetop were not clean, dishwasher full of semi-clean dishes (full of so many pots/pans/glasses/cup/dishes that none of the pans were clean, and most of the silverware needed to be rewashed). I’m not sure that the bed was remade in the master - sheets were unkempt under the comforter at any rate which did not give the most confidence considering how dirty the kitchen was. A few other cleanliness issues. We spent some time cleaning and wiping counters when we arrived so we could use the kitchen. The management company said the right things (when not a chat bot responding) but none of the issues with the dirty space were resolved by them and they did not refund any of the cleaning fees. I feel bad for the owners who probably have no idea how poorly the cleaning crew handled their space. Also, the pictures on VRBO suggest a nice entrance to the unit - in fact it is 3 short exterior flights of stairs down from parking (not a big deal) through a mildewy stairwell corridor to a bottom floor unit. Thankfully there was air conditioning because you do not want to open the bedroom windows since they look out under the wood deck stairwell at the front of the unit. Close to Banner Elk and slopes. Overall very disappointing and would not stay again.

Moldy

This is a basement condo. As soon as we entered the condo, we were overpowered with the smell of mold. We opened the sliding door to get fresh air in, but opening other windows just brought in more mold since the other windows are at ground level under a deck. A dehumidifier in the living room and obvious water damage in the kitchen floor were dead giveaways. When I contacted the owner, he suggested running the air conditioner. We had to stay that night due to sold out hotels, but left the next morning. The owner claims that everything is OK, and refused any refund. Mold is really dangerous and can cause some long term health conditions.
