My family and I booked this cabin last minute for my granddaughter's birthday, and let me say it exceeded my expectations. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the property is well maintained. Although the staff is not on the property after 5:00 pm, however they do provide an after hours phone number. They are quick to respond and assist

I came to snowboard it’s a beautiful place is big is clean everything you need. I have three boys ranging from 17 to 25 and myself single black girl was happy. I just got home but the mountain itself it’s not too high if you want to drive your car no need for a rental is still in the mountain but everything is close. All the fun things to do is close I was at blowing rock sugar mountain and beach mountain. If you go and skateboard in a snowboarding or even tubing, bring you some warm stuff from home so you don’t have to buy the expensive $30 gloves or $40 shades go food shopping and you can save some money. The kitchen had everything you need. I felt home full kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms two couches that had beds. Also, we were comfortable if I ever did this again I would come to Sugar Mountain in the Highlands.

Breath taking views!!!
We stayed in a 2 bed, 2 bath town home at the top of Sugar mountain. The views were breath taking! The place itself was very spacious. It could do with some remodeling in the kitchen and throughout the apartment but was really not a big deal for us. The ladies working the office were very friendly and accommodating! My daughter really enjoyed the game room and hot! We would definitely stay again!

Our first time staying here. A little disappointed we did not get the view that was shown online - we did not realize there were multiple bldgs some with views some without and also some with private balconys and others with just a common walkway. Apartment was very clean and office staff was very nice and accommodating. Also did not realize there was no a/c but that was our fault for missing that in the description. Overall a nice stay and we would consider staying again just maybe seeing if we could get a different view.
