The condo was clean and comfortable for the 3 of us. I went with my 17 year old daughter and her friend. The beds were comfortable. The view was amazing. There was Food Lion about 5 minutes away from the condo. There is Walmart in Boone about 25 minutes away. Sugar Mountain resort had amazing and friendly staff for skiing and snowboarding. Sugar Top front desk was friendly and helpful. Thank you for an amazing time.

Grandfather Glory was a perfect condo for our family of 4! It was very cozy and well furnished. I loved that there are lots of hooks to hang damp clothes after a long day of skiing and sledding. The large dining room table was a perfect spot for family board games. We loved the mountain views and we really enjoyed our stay here! (Just make sure you have 4WD if coming up when there’s a lot of snow).

My husband and I took our children (ages 4 and 6) from Charleston, SC on a 3-day trip to Sugar Top resort and stayed in Grandfather Glory. Upon arrival, the parking and unloading of luggage was a bit backed up so it took a while, but once we got inside we never had another issue. The views from our condo were spectacular. Our kids spent so much time on the balcony playing and enjoying the snow. The condo overall was very clean, comfortable, functional, and spacious for a family of 4 with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Randy was incredibly helpful and replied within minutes any time we had questions. The lovely people working the resort from front to back were outstanding. Ellen, the shuttle driver, was fantastic and really sweet to us and the kids. A young woman working the front desk one evening even helped source some cold medicine for me since it was not sold at the resort. Less than 5 minutes later, my husband was at the elevator when an older couple dropped something off their cart and it shattered on the ground. A gentleman who worked there was on it in less than a minute, kept reassuring them it wasn't a big deal, and got it cleaned up in no time. After everyone got on the elevator he stayed behind with a flashlight to look for all the tiny pieces of glass to ensure he got it all. It was impressive! Our kids loved swimming in the pool and warming up in the hot tub. We went tubing at Hawknest and had an absolute blast. We plan on making this an annual family trip!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The pictures do not do this place Justice at all. The views are breathtaking. The building was nice as well with a convenient little market in the lobby and a beautiful indoor pool. The unit itself was nicely decorated with a cabin feel. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed and more. I would like to point out that the beds were also very comfortable and that’s a rare find in a rental. I could stay here forever…. All communication with the owner was good too. Super sweet people. We will definitely be back again.

The pictures do not do this place justice. The view is unbelievable. We worried it would be hot without AC but the breeze was nice and cool in the evening. The kitchen was nicely stocked and the bathrooms spotless. The shuttle to your car was not a big deal and came quickly. Used the hot tub and gym while there too. I will definitely be back. This was one of the nicest places I have stayed.

The condo was clean and had everything that we needed. I didn’t care for parking away from the condo but it was just a little inconvenient because it was so cold. The shuttle runs very often and they’ll call it whenever you need it. We enjoyed the stay.

My husband and I so enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was such a convenient/quick trip to the local ski resort, the condo was so clean, had so many amenities and the view was to die for. Also, they have decorated the condo so wonderfully and it really gives you that sweet cozy cabin vibe. Can’t say enough good things!!!

I was over impressed with how nice our stay was! The condo was super clean and accommodating for our family (with 2 boys aged 6 and 8).
The kitchen was well stocked and convenient to cook at home. The rooms had lots of storage and beds were very comfy. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Front desk was super helpful with all questions. The pool and hot tub was perfect for after skiing and utilized it every day! The location was super convenient to grocery store and ski slope. The owner was very helpful in answering all questions in a super timely manner! Overall, it was a 12/10 experience.

The condo was perfect and had everything we needed. The decor was done so well and made it feel super cozy. The only issue, which was not at all the owners' fault, was checking-in. It was snowing hard and we were not able to get to the front of the resort. The employees working at the resort that evening (guard shack, front desk, and shuttle) were not friendly nor helpful. I was not confident that we would make it to our condo that night. Fortunately, the staff working the next day made up for it! Shout out to Frank (front desk) and the female shuttle driver from Chicago. They were both very nice, friendly, helpful, and welcoming!

The owners were very accommodating after a mixup on our check-in. The unit was clean and as advertised. The inside pool and spa were great after a day of skiing. Views from the balcony were beautiful. I would recommend the rental to anybody going to the area.

We had a great experience renting for this unit! The unit was great and very cozy for our family. I will say the resort itself was having a few issues, but nothing that was not manageable. We went during a very busy time, and the location was crowded and busy. Everyone was helpful, and we enjoyed our trip!

Great Rustic Condo - Grandfather Glory
Great condo, beautiful rustic decor, awesome scenery! Clean unit. Well equipped kitchen. Condo is very centrally located to many sightseeing spots. Owners were very easy to contact and were very helpful. Their white notebook of tips, restaurants and things to do was most informative!
Thank you Randy and Karen for allowing us stay in your Grandfather Glory!

Cool Mountain Air
Beautifull mountain theme decorated condo with a great view. Clean and fully stocked with kitchen supplies and linens. King bed comfy, as well as sofas and chairs. Loved the high balcony furniture to see Grandfather Mountain over the safety wall. Excellent communication from owners, and easy keyless entry. For a 10 story condo, it was very quiet. Loved sleeping with the windows open. Highly recommend! Lots of things to do in the area, ziplining, biking, white water rafting, hiking, golf and more. Thanks Randy and Karen, we had a great vacation!

SugarTop Vacation
We loved the unit and all of its mountain decor! Everything was well thought out by the owner and made our stay extremely enjoyable! The views were incredible and they had binoculars for us to use. It was a key-less entry and everything we might have needed was provided, including starter logs for the fireplace. There was a guestbook that provided all of the information necessary for the property, activities, and contact information. There was books, movies and games available for children. We had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend it!

Spectacular location
Our trip was incredible. This sweet little bungalow has a wonderful split floor plan with all the amenities- each room with a tv, stocked kitchen, dining set. Walking in we felt right at home with the woodsy holiday decor! Our rainy day was easily transformed with a load of family games- showed just how much the owners care to have brand new games ready and waiting! We enjoyed the indoor pool and tub and the ease of parking. The location was breathtaking at the top of the mountain with beautiful views! We look forward to visiting again in the future!

Cozy Winter Retreat!
We had such a wonderful time at this cozy retreat! From the moment we walked in, everything was set in motion for us to be on a vacation! There was not one thing missing! We were thrilled to see that there was hot chocolate and coffee K-cups (and even creamer!) waiting for us when we got there. There were games and videos to enjoy, along with blankets and fire logs that made such a cozy setting. The beds were amazing! We even took time out to enjoy the jacuzzi and pool downstairs. Everything was so convenient! Thank you for leaving a notebook of fun things to do in the area! We loved the coffee shop! Can’t wait to book our next stay there!
