Description Description
Nestled at an elevation of 4500 feet, on picturesque Sugar Mountain, this beautiful 4-bedroom home captures the charm and beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the stunning views of Grandfather Mountain from inside the home, as well as from the two expansive decks.

The main living area features a cozy gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for family and friends to gather. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the living room to a modern kitchen and dining area, making it ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. There is ample seating at the large dining table, plus extra seats at the island. The main floor deck can be accessed from the dining room, featuring breathtaking mountain views, and amazing sunrises over Grandfather Mountain.


After dark, light up the gas fire table, and enjoy clear, high altitude skies, perfect for stargazing. The sauna is accessed from the main floor deck, where you can relax and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of dry heat. A perfect way to wind down after an exhilarating day skiing, snowboarding, biking or hiking!

There are two bedrooms on the main level, one furnished with a queen size bed, the other with a full size. These bedrooms share a hallway bathroom. The spacious master suite is located upstairs and features a king bed, a TV, and ensuite bathroom with double vanities, a soaking tub, and tiled shower. 

The lower level of the home, which connects to the main floor by a spiral staircase, features an additional bedroom with a full and twin bed. There is a game room, complete with a ping-pong table, TV, a card table, as well as a kitchenette, and wood burning stove. This level has its own private deck, accessed from the game room, which features comfortable outdoor seating. Enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while taking in the panoramic views that make this location truly special.


Skip the hassle of crowded ski area parking! Located directly on the Sugar Mountain Shuttle loop, simply step to the end of the lower driveway and cross the street. The shuttle stops right there, at the corner of Sky Leaf Dr. and Shelter Rock Cir. You’ll be at the ski lodge in minutes! If you want to verify live tracking during a heavy weather day, you can call the dispatch line at (828) 387-0785.
 

With its unbeatable location, family friendly amenities, and awe-inspiring views, this Sugar Mountain home is a perfect sanctuary for those seeking a peaceful mountain retreat. When it's time to head to town for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you'll find yourself less than 10 minutes from the downtown Banner Elk area. Boone and Blowing Rock are only 30-35 minutes away. Other "must see" spots include Grandfather, and Banner Elk Wineries (each approximately 15 minutes away), the Mile High Swinging Bridge, loads of hiking trails, Wildcat Lake, and so much more!

This is the perfect rental for a large family or even several families to share. The home was nicely appointed and very clean. The deck on the main level has quality furniture and a nice gas fire pit table, but the real treat is the stunning view. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice to have a second fridge/kitchenette downstairs. It’s a great space to bring a dog since there is grass in the front area as well as the side/back of the house. There is ample paved parking for 4-5 cars and the drive up to the home is easy and entirely paved. Excellent location and would stay here again for sure.

Beautiful house with killer view! Well stocked kitchen with good quality utensils. Excellent proximity to shuttle pickup for ski slopes.

It's a nice house with great views. The kitchen works well for a group. Deck is comfortable and the upstairs is great. The only issue is that we and our friends are old (72 to 80 yrs) and the stairs were sometimes challenging. But we had a great week.

This house was beautiful and warm
We had the pleasure of seeing snow and a few deers. It was by far the best Thanksgiving Vacay with the family.

We really enjoyed Sunrise with Grandfather. It was perfect for our family vacation! True to its namesake, there are spectacular sunrises from the home’s decks. The two fire pits are great as well. The house is conveniently located to all local attractions and grocery stores and restaurants. The manage company is also great. Super responsive and helpful!
