Our beautifully renovated one- and two-bedroom condos are located at Sugar Ski & Country Club, the only true ski-in/ski-out condominium resort on Sugar Mountain. Spend less time driving, parking and carrying equipment and more time enjoying the mountain.

Step outside and head for the slopes, then return to the comfort of your mountain retreat when you're ready to warm up and relax.

Whether you're planning a couples' ski getaway, a family vacation or a winter weekend with friends, Sugar Ski Haven puts you close to the experiences that make winter in the North Carolina High Country special.

Beyond skiing and snowboarding, explore nearby Banner Elk, winter scenery along the Blue Ridge Mountains, local restaurants, shopping and other seasonal activities.

After your adventures, come home to a comfortable, beautifully updated condo where you can relax and enjoy the mountain atmosphere.
