Description Description
Experience Squirrel's Leap!

This beautiful log cabin is located just below the Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, so during winter you won't have to drive to the slopes. In summer, enjoy easy access to the public Sugar Mountain golf course. The main floor has everything you need, with the primary King suite just off the den, a stone gas fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen with granite countertops, and a guest bedroom with a full bath and loft. The lower level has an additional den, a third guest room, a full bath, and a garage.

Outside, relaxation awaits!  Soak in the hot tub, sit out on the lovely covered porch, or enjoy the custom-built outdoor wood burning stone fireplace.
This home features a babbling brook bordering the property on two sides with the gorgeous natural mountain landscape surrounding it.

Conveniently located to everything that Sugar Mountain and Banner Elk have to offer including close distance to grocery, dining, shops, summer theater, and High Country festivities.

The cabin is in a great location. Literally right down the street from the chair lifts at sugar mountain. Mins away from grocery store. 20 mins from Boone where there are restaurants, a small mall and more grocery stores. The cabin itself was great for us. We have a 7 year old boy, two girls 6 and 4. The bunk beds were great. The only thing I would say is don’t let the little try to go down the stairs with socks on. And the fridge ice maker wasn’t working for us. But there are ice trays. Other than that the cabin had everything we looked for.
John - Posted: 2/23/2026
Thank you for staying with us and for the kind review. We’re glad the location worked so well for your family and that the bunk beds were a hit with the kids. Thanks for the heads-up about the ice maker; we’ve shared that with maintenance to look into, and appreciate that you used the ice trays as a backup. We also appreciate the safety tip about socks on the stairs and will add a note in the guest info for families. Please come back anytime! - BRMR

The location was excellent—just a short distance from Sugar Mountain’s main entrance. The house was clean and comfortably accommodated everyone. We enjoy cooking, so the only area for improvement would be having more kitchen supplies. We didn’t use the outdoor fireplace, but the setup was perfect; it was just way too cold for us at that time.
