The location is absolutely amazing, with everything close by. The condo staff was very friendly, and the shuttle service to and from Sugar Mountain Resort was extremely convenient.The condo itself was well stocked and comfortable. The only small suggestion would be to bring an extra blanket, just in case.

My first negative review

We travel a ton and use a lot of rentals and never have I ever given a negative review, even when something was wrong to not make renting hard for anyone but this was too much. It started off with us arriving at the property to find a blood stain under the bed sheets which were dirty as well, when we tried to get in contact about this communication was poor and the apartment's managment resolution was leaving clean bed lining in a garbage bag on our kitchen table. In the second bedroom the bed was clean was so shakey that it sunk in and shifted with every slightest move you would make leaving us sleeping on the couch. When we opened the door to the bathroom we encountered another surprise with the bathroom ceiling falling onto the toilet and ground. We contacted the apartment manager and nothing was done so we went to the lobby and told the front desk which helped how they could to stop the flooding and falling ceiling. When we wanted to use the fireplace we found that the cable was broken and that it didnt work either. There were also extremly loud renovations going on in the building. The balconies were unusable for most of the day (from about 8am to 7 pm) with pressure washers ripping off paint and debries off the building leaving it all pouring right onto our balcony which we had to clean ourselves every night if we wanted to be able to go on it. The sauna also stopped working on the second day we stayed so we were only able to use it one day. The building itself was outdated and not very clean but it was okay however the apartment and the communication with owner of the property was horrible. I wish I could attach pictures to show everything.

VRBO was good the room needs some work

It was a beautiful weekend in the mountains. Sugar Top was a good place but the room need some repairs. The microwave door was taped up, the TV in one bedroom could not get to work, the bed and mattress in the master needs to be replaced. Who ever cleans the condo does a terrible job the need to be fired.

Sugar Top Resort 2816 3 night stay

Sugar Top Resort offers beautiful Condominiums with gorgeous Mountain Views. We have stayed there in many different condos over the years, and always been completely satisfied. However, 2816 was the exception. Although the view from the balcony was beyond beautiful, other areas of this condo were unacceptable, such as no batteries for the tv remotes, the inability to connect to the internet, stained shower tiles, dirty stove top, a broken kitchen drawer ( unable to open for kitchen equipment), insufficient bath towels, no blankets ( temp outside was 22), stained dirty carpet in master bedroom with stains on curtains and also, stains on blinds in the living room (not to mention dirty windows with streaks and to enjoy the beautiful view we had to go on the balcony ). This condo had the potential of being a 5 star condo because of it’s very nice light fixtures, bathrooms and kitchen fixtures, kitchen supplies, newer tvs, clean sheets, walk in showers, tile work in bathrooms ( grout was sloppy in master) and 8th floor location on the Grandfather mountain side. However, cleanliness was not their priority nor meeting their amenity promises. Fortunately, we had 2 maintenance gentlemen, one from SugarTop and one from the rental agent, who very kindly fixed the broken kitchen drawer, provided fresh batteries for the remotes, unscrambled the tv remotes and connected us to the internet. ( no blankets were provided). Our time outside of the 2816 unit condo was perfect: the restaurants, Blue Ridge Parkway, magnificent fall colors, and shopping in Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and Boone. The condo resort was also outstanding with their heated pool, hot tub and kind staff. I hope the owners of 2816 will correct these problems that have been stated by many other renters as well as what we have stated. I rented this condo originally because of the pictures which were very attractive. Instead of reading the reviews first., I also trusted that under each bad review the response was that these complaints had been resolved, but they have not been resolved. Although the management was kind and solved a few of our complaints we will never rent 2816 again. I regretfully submit this negative review having never submitted a negative review of one Sugar Top’s condo’s before.. As I said, this condo could be a 5 star if the owners would correct their cleanliness issues and maintain other issues.

Problems

First of all you have a safety hazard and a lability which needs to be corrected> The toaster has a cord in which the wire is exposed. This could be a real problem for you and the tenant if some one used it especially in a kitchen area which could have water! and got hurt or killed. Next the floor was not very clean and had popcorn. Next the dishes had dirt on them, many which could be a health hazard. Lastly the shower in the master bedroom has a drain problem. Not a very good experience.

Quick getaway

I will start by saying that I am a bit picky. This condo was okay, clean but definitely needs a deep cleaning (shower corners, rugs and baseboards, and some repairs (ceiling where there was some water damage/paint pealing, cracked tiles). The property is older but still fine for a quick getaway. Appreciated having dishwasher tabs, tp and towel paper stocked - we arrived late and didn't have time to shop prior. Overall we had a good experience and fun.

Okay stay

I read the reviews from 2020 about the bedding and was hopeful that those changes were made. Unfortunately they stand true. The comforter is stained, and mattress is extremely hard and uncomfortable. I think if the bed situation was changed this would be the perfect place. Resort had nice amenities and the condo kitchen was well-equipped and clean. It was an okay stay.
