Awesome!
Me, my daughter and her friend were there for a soccer tournament (we won the championship!!) and the place was perfect for us! The view was amazing! The girls and I loved it! It was so cute and the girls definitely lived their best lives! The staff was also amazing and helpful! The only thing I would say and it’s not a negative but the shuttle. I would have rather have been able to park in the lot right out front and not have to go back and forth with the shuttle. But the shuttle crew were super fast and friendly! :)

Amazing Views
The views from the balcony were amazing. It was very clean and very close to the ski resort. It was not a big problem for us, but keep in mind you will most likely have to take a shuttle to your vehicle if you stay during ski season. We highly recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Elmer and Regina Purkey

Host profile image
We escaped the summer heat by staying at SugarTop Resort. We fell in love with the people, the community and the peacefulness. The bounty of mountainscapes all around us. Our eyes and our souls yearned for more time on Sugar Mountain. We became owners within weeks. We're Tennesseans and North Carolinians. We have a deep-rooted love for the entire Appalachian highland region. We've traveled all over, but we'll forever call these mountains "Home."

Why they chose this property

I can't say enough about the community and the views. We're nature lovers, hikers, adventurers, and we cherish those moments of "away from it all" peace. We've seen a lot of sky in our time and travels. But this particular area just offers so many wonderful things in one place. The region is also a haven for thrifters, arts and crafts, and unique finds, as well as fine dining. Sugar Mountain is moments away from all, and the place to be for special times together.

What makes this property unique

Located on the top floor with spectacular mile-high views of the scenic North Carolina mountain vista. Breathtaking sunrise views of Grandfather Mountain.
