The Sugar Ski & Country Club amenities building sits right in front of the condo. Rainy afternoon? The pool saves it. Long day on the slopes or the trail? The hot tub and sauna fix it. Two access FOBs come with the condo.
This is why guests come back. The private top-floor balcony looks east across long-range, unobstructed Blue Ridge views: no rooftops, no wires, just layers of blue fading into the horizon. Bar-height seating out here and at the window inside means the view comes with every meal.
At about 4,900 feet, it's usually 10 or more degrees cooler than the lowlands. Summer here is windows-open weather.
Big windows bring the mountains inside. Catch the game or a family movie on the 55-inch 4K Roku TV, spread a board game across the coffee table, or switch on the electric fireplace when the evening cools off.
The kitchen has blue cabinets, butcher-block counters, new stainless appliances and coffee three ways (Keurig with pods, drip or French press). The fully remodeled bathroom has a walk-in shower, plush towels and a fog-free lighted mirror. Guests have called it the best bathroom they've stayed in.
Ski by day. Hot tub and sunrise views every day.
See Available Dates →The most common question we get. The condo has 1 private bedroom with a queen bed, a built-in bunk nook with two Twin XL beds, and a sleeper sofa in the living room, for up to 6 guests. It's a great fit for a couple, a family of four or two couples who don't mind the sofa.

Good to know: the condo is on the top (3rd) floor and there's no elevator, so you'll climb 3 flights of stairs. The trade is the view and no footsteps overhead. There's also no air conditioning, like every condo in the complex; ceiling fans and the mountain breeze keep it comfortable.
“My son and I enjoyed a priceless holiday weekend ski vacation at Erin's condo. The space was well-designed, clean, and cozy (we loved the fireplace!) and could not have been more convenient for skiing. Being able to hit the slopes right outside our door was incredible, and we barely had to move our car during our stay. The resort's hot tub and heated pool felt great after a long day on the mountain.”Cathryn · Airbnb guest · February 2026
We had an absolutely beautiful weekend getaway at Erin's condo. It was clean, well decorated, cozy, and had a lot of amenities and extra touches that made it feel so comfortable. The views were absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend!
We would absolutely stay here again! The location was beautiful and conveniently close to Grandfather Mountain. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and just as we hoped. The views were gorgeous, and we really enjoyed our quick weekend getaway.
We had such a wonderful stay! The view was absolutely beautiful, and the location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. We visited Linville Caverns, Grandfather Mountain, the Alpine Coaster, and Tweetsie Railroad. … Having access to the pool area was another great bonus too!
Erin is an awesome host! We had constant contact, her place is absolutely adorable, super clean, neat and very cozy. I highly recommend booking with her.
I will be back. Absolute perfect size for 2 people, gorgeous morning view, workout gym and sauna awesome extras. Loved it!
Beautiful views and a very cozy, comfortable place to stay. … The space is very well utilized; everything was spotless, and there were plenty of towels. Our kids loved all the board games, and we even enjoyed the sauna. The beds were very comfortable.
One of the best put together places I have stayed. They thought of everything. Easy to access, everything exactly as expected. Easiest ski trip I have made in a long time, will visit again.
We are a family of four with 9 and 11 year old kids. They loved the bunk beds. Easy walk to Oma's Meadow to start the ski day. Erin was helpful and responsive.
This place was clean, quiet and exactly what we needed for a short ski retreat. … My husband and kid's favorite part was being able to just walk out the door straight onto the ski lift.

Lift tickets aren't included; buy them from Sugar Mountain Resort.
Oma's Express is a high-speed detachable quad chairlift that opened in 2022. It carries up to 2,400 skiers an hour from about 4,450 feet to about 4,915 feet, serves the wide, intermediate Oma's Meadow slope and runs during Sugar Mountain's twilight (night skiing) sessions.
