Slopeside Retreat; Summer Escape, Trails, Views, Fireplace, Wifi

Summer has arrived at Sugar Mountain, and Slopeside Retreat is ready to be your favorite High Country hideaway. This bright, cozy 3-bedroom condo sits steps from the mountain — where cool mornings, green trails, and pure mountain air make every day feel like a gift. Come home to a crackling gas fireplace after a day of hiking, sip coffee on the balcony while a creek sings below, and let the slopes-turned-trails remind you that this place was made for all seasons. Mid-term renters are warmly welcomed — stay a week, a month, or all summer long. Your mountain escape is waiting.

THE SPACE

Why Guests Love It in Summer
Unbeatable Location: Walk out the door and straight onto mountain trails. Hop on the scenic lift for breathtaking views that stretch for miles. A short drive takes you to Banner Elk's cozy restaurants, local breweries, mountain wineries, and charming shops. Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Beech Mountain are all close by — a whole season of adventure, right at your fingertips.
Cool, Comfortable Living: Even on warm summer days, the mountains keep things perfectly cool. Come inside to open, airy living spaces, a cozy stone gas fireplace for chilly evenings, and a Smart TV for those lazy nights in. The bunk room has its own screen — great for kids or a fun movie night.
Private Balcony Bliss: Relax on the swinging bench as the creek hums below and green mountain views stretch out before you. Morning coffee or evening wine — every moment out here feels like pure peace.
Fully Loaded Kitchen: Cook up summer meals with shiny stainless appliances, a big fridge stocked with your favorites, and a coffee bar (drip or Keurig) to start every adventure right.
Perfect for Mid-Term Stays: Working remotely this summer? Taking a long family trip? Mid-term rentals are warmly welcomed. Stay a few weeks or the whole season — dedicated workspace, fast wifi, and a full kitchen make longer stays easy and comfortable.

We loved the condo. It is in an amazing location. It was clean and updated inside. We spent lots of time out on the balcony on the porch swing enjoying the skiers and snowboarders. Would definitely recommend.

Great slop side condo

The location is right on the easy street slope which was prefect for our group. Walking to the lodge was easy and quick, especially when not wearing ski boots! Getting to and off the slope was a workout because you have to walk around and down the building but if you’re prepared it’s doable! We had 5 adults which I would say is the max to remain comfortable but it could easily fit 4 adults and kids! We had a little cleaning issue when we first arrived but the owner was very helpful and had the issue fixed quickly! Out of our years of renting ski-in ski-outs this was the best location and most helpful owners!
