Stayed over thanksgiving with part of our family. The rest of the family stayed in another condo. This is our second time staying here. We like the condo a lot. Amazing views, lots of deer passing through the yard. The road gets a little scary in the winter at night, with fog and sleet one night. Nice condo!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was perfect for the 5 of us since we brought our fur baby with us on this trip. For the most part it was very clean and the kitchen had basically all that I needed for making our meals there. The only thing I would have wished for was a Keurig. In addition, I felt that the en-suite bathroom could use a bit more attention from the housekeeper since there was dirt/dust around the bathtub. It also could use a good vacuum job right before our stay there; the bathrooms and bedrooms had dead bugs in there probably due to time lapse between renters.

Lovely condo with a great view of Grandfather Mountain. Owners were beyond accommodating and always easy to reach. The location is spectacular at about 4300 feet and it was the perfect respite from the heat on the coast where we live. We stayed for three weeks and hated to leave.

Great Rental!
We enjoyed our stay in this condo! Everything was spotless and just like the description. We were a party of six adults and one child and there was plenty of room for everyone. It is convenient to Banner Elk, Boone and Blowing Rock.

The property was clean and the property manager answered us promptly. This would be a great place to stay if you were going skiing but it was a little more rustic than it looks like in the pictures. The complex is very dated but the property owners have updated the inside of the condo. The condo was clean and comfortable. It is just a little bit more dated than it looks in the pictures. I felt the price was fair for what we got.

We enjoyed our stay and the view. The kitchen was well stocked and it was easy to prepare family meals at the condo. The condo could have been a bit cleaner (initial Smokey smell, smears on the walls, fabrics a bit damp due to humidity).

After getting stuck in Durham/Chapel Hill traffic, we made it to Sugar Mountain after dark, so our first glimpse of the condo was very welcome after a nerve-wracking drive up the mountain in the dark. But the next morning, as the sun came up, we saw how beautiful the landscape was and the condo itself was more that satisfactory. It was very homey, big enough for our family of 5, with plenty of seating areas, blankets, and beds. Very well decorated, very impressive layout and comfortable furniture.

Overall nice place. A few minor issues, but nothing that should prevent you from renting
Place is nice, if a little out of the way. Overall, everything was fine. Place is quiet and comfortable. Generally speaking, would recommend this place if you need a place to stay in the area. Apple Maps appears to find it slightly better than Google Maps, but Google will get you pretty close. Fairly easy to figure out from there.
Our issues were:
1) Temperature control was foreign to us. Each room (including bathrooms) has its own thermostat and heater. We arrived around 10:30 pm to a very cold space and had to figure out how to get heat before we could go to bed. We over-corrected, so it was very hot by morning.
2) The cable in the living room had issues (we were barely in the space, so not a huge problem) where it was cutting off or resetting itself between every 30 seconds to every 30 minutes. Related note: TV/cable remotes were difficult to use. Had to stand up near the TV to get anything to work, which sort of defeats the purpose of the remote.
3) The instructions for arriving/leaving are a bit complex compared to other places we've stayed. Nothing too much, but just a bit more (like turning the water on and off).
The owners were great. They reached out ahead of the stay and alerted us to some minor construction in the unit. It didn't affect us, so we didn't care. We reported the cable issue, and they attempted to get it fixed before we left. Even though the fix didn't take, we appreciated the effort.

We had a great stay and loved how close the condo is to Sugar Mountain. We discovered that the Gas Fireplace is not operational (according to the owner). It would have been nice to know this before spending time trying to figure out the instructions. Also, bring your own coffee make. The one in the kitchen looked like it was never cleaned, so I tried to clean it the best I could but still ended up buying one at the local Walgreens, no big deal. Otherwise, it's a great place to stay with amazing views, perfect location, and the owner is very responsive. I'd recommend all day long.

We're so happy we discovered this gem at Sugar Mountain! Our boy/girl twins wanted a trip for their 11th birthday, and they wanted snow. This was the place! The condo is beautiful, and we were able to go sledding on the property. We also enjoyed walking the snow-covered trails. It was magic! Can't wait to return!

For skiers, there is a hiking path (somewhat steep, but manageable!) from condo to top of green chair lift. This was such a time saver over Christmas break, as traffic was significant. Great place with a great view! Would definitely stay here again! Thank you to the owners who were super responsive.

Cute and cozy condo with a great view of what we think is Hawksbill. Perfect size for our 5 people, and close to several attractions. I would return, and I would recommend to anybody considering a weekend in this part of NC.

Wonderful Experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is exceptional with beautiful mountain views. The condo is spacious, clean, and fully stocked with the essentials. We had blowing snow on our last 2 days and needed assistance getting a 2w drive vehicle down the mountain. (Note: when a 4w drive vehicle is recommended during the winter months, believe it) We had no problem with our 4w drive vehicle. The owner was receptive throughout our stay and even let us stay warm in the condo for a couple of extra hours until we were able to get the car down the hill. I did not receive my check-in procedures on time from Evolve Vacation Rental, but they responded quickly after I sent an email and they answered any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again and definitely recommend.
