The condo is elegant and exactly as pictured.
The building itself is old and in need of renovation. While the views are gorgeous, the building itself is isolated on top of the mountain so there isn’t a lot to do unless you drive down the mountain. Also the building feels more like a retirement community, and the unit like a museum, which means families with small kids may not feel welcome.
The parking is not ideal as you park in a lot below the property and shuttle to and from the entrance. There is also work being done on the property, which meant balcony furniture had been removed.
The biggest issue we had is when we arrived there was no electricity in the building or on the mountain. There was one light working by generator in the living room. We were told by the building and the owner that the generator would be shut down by 8PM so the power company could restore the power. I don’t blame the owner for the power outage, but when we let her know the situation, she became fairly rigid.
In looking for other accommodations that were not a “hotel,” we found that most of the cabin and condos require minimum stays. We found another property, down the mountain, with power and informed both VRBO and the owner we would not be returning to her unit and requested a refund. No refund has been given and both the owner and VRBO have been uncommunicative.
Buyer beware of the condos at Sugar Top and this host. Not ideal.
