Find yourself in the wooded wonderland of Sugar Mountain at this gorgeous home sitting just a half-mile from endless skiing and hiking trails! Though this getaway is in the heart of Sugar Mountain, you will feel as if you are in a secluded cabin away from it all due to the dense forest right outside. Start each day with a warm mug of coffee on the wraparound deck and breathe in that fresh mountain air. Most guests will spend most of their time outside, yet the interior of this home has just as much to offer with rustic accents, a spacious layout, and a well-equipped kitchen boasting all necessary appliances. When everyone returns to home base, gather for a home-cooked meal on the deck or in the dining area and wrap up a perfect vacation day with a movie night in the living room.

Located in the heart of Sugar Mountain, this dreamy mountain oasis is perfectly positioned for full days of skiing on fresh powder or hiking along gorgeous trails amongst fall foliage. Great hiking areas nearby include Grandfather Mountain State featuring the Mile High Swinging Bridge and Beech Mountain. A round of 18 is just a half-mile away at Ole Esval Sugar Mountain Municipal Golf Course, so the golfers of the group will get their fill of fun as well. When guests build up an appetite, head into Banner Elk and grab a bite to eat.

Great stay close to the slopes.
Very nice property close to the slopes. Parking with only one vehicle with a party of six is troublesome but we made it work. Overall a nice ski trip location.

A great stay
We wanted a quiet little place with a fireplace and this was perfect. My husband and I, our two teenagers and my mother in law had plenty of room in this little house. We loved the decor and the view was beautiful. We were there the last weekend of "leaf season" so the first day we could just see the beautiful leaf color by the end we could see Grandfather Mountain and everything else perfectly. It is a perfect little spot, out of the way but also only 3- 4 minutes to restaurants and the grocery store. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Fall Mini Vaca
Enjoyed a weekend getaway in the mountains. Foliage was beautiful. The house was lovely and located in a nice section of Sugar Mountain. Just a short ride to the mountain if we plan to return to ski. House was clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Could hear voices from guests in condo below but not loud enough to disrupt us. King bed was comfortable and soft towels provided for stay. Short rides to Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and local attractions. Would definitely return for another stay.

Great fall weekend
We really enjoyed the weekend at Sugar Mountain. Our unit was well equipped and very well maintained. The large porch was very nice given the unseasonably warm weather.

Comfortable stay
The property was comfortable for our family and in a great location with access to skiing, tubing, and ice skating. There were a few items management had to address after check in (dirty bathroom, microwave didn’t work, broken blind in bedroom, dog waste on private deck, candy wrapper on table, crumbs on nightstand) and the staff addressed the issues in a timely manner. We would stay at this location again and hope management will do a better job cleaning and preparing unit.
