Cycling getaway

Stayed here with a couple of friends for 2 days to go biking in the Lansing / West Jeff area. Th weather was great. Sugar tree lodge was a perfect location and the lodge was clean, beds were comfortable and had a great secluded mountain cabin vibe. We really enjoyed the hot tub after a long day on the bike. Karen was a great host and very responsive.

Perfect mountain getaway

We hade a great stay at Sugar Tree Lodge, the cabin is adorable, very clean, and has everything you would need. Amazing value if you plan on staying with multiple couples and kids, as the cabin very comfortable sleeps 8 and has 2 full baths. The lot is nice and secluded, plenty of privacy when using the hot tub. Strongly recommend taking a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

Not for children

When I made the reservation, the ages of my children were stated. This was not a place to take young children by no means! Had it been adults, would have been fantabulous! Definitely would have been wiser to invest funds elsewhere for a family vacation Gorgeous property yes! The split AC unit was not up to par for this size of a lodge. Turned it down to 60 and never cooled down, ended up sleeping with a fan on the bed.

Annual Sisters and kids family Trip

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for in our week get away from the city. The cabin was well stocked with what we needed and there were 3 different groceries within 20 minutes of us. There are also several hiking opportunities within a short drive with beautiful sights. We enjoyed our trip.

Perfect Place for a Mountain Getaway

We loved staying at Sugar Tree Lodge. The setting and cabin were beautiful! It was such a relaxing stay! Our family enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, making s'mores by the fire pit, and sitting on the porch swings in the cool mountain air! We had plenty of space with room for everyone to spread out if needing some quiet time as well as lots of seating for everyone if we wanted to play games or watch a show together as a family. The lodge was stocked with everything you would need. Karen was very proactive in checking-in to see if we needed anything and was very responsive if we had questions, even before our trip started. I would highly recommend staying at the Sugar Tree Lodge if you are looking for somewhere to stay in the NC mountains!

Great Getaway

The Sugar Tree Lodge was great for our family of four! We decided to all sleep in the upstairs loft because it had a "treehouse" feel, and it was great to watch movies on the big television. The house was well equipped, and we appreciated the secluded setting. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

The best VRBO cabin, ever. It was very clean, the kitchen was very well equipped and organized, the upstairs was perfect for the teens, and the hot tub was great. On top of all these, the host was amazing! I will never look for another cabin for our future trips. Thank you!

Amazing Property!

We enjoyed a week at this beautiful cabin with friends and family. It was hands down one of the most memorable trips we’ve had. We got lucky and enjoy a beautiful snowfall and the property was magical covered in snow. As for the cabin, we couldn’t have been happier. It slept my family of 6 along with 2 friends with bed space to spare. The kitchen was stocked better than anywhere we have stayed. Everything was clean and the towels were abundant. Karen was so fast to respond with any questions and gave great info to help with our stay. All in all, there’s nothing I could begin to complain about.

‘23 Winter Sojourn

Lovely house in relaxing, secluded, and peaceful setting. Spacious rooms, but would suggest more reading lights in main den, and in bedrooms. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots, pans, etc. Hot tub was clean and well maintained and only a few steps away from the building. We would absolutely recommend this house to others wanting to get away from it all!!

This cabin was the cutest VRBO property I’ve rented. Everything was so clean and it was very well furnished. I am one who likes to unpack, and the amazing amount of storage and baskets was great!!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Johnson

Host profile image
Hi There:)
My name is Karen Johnson and I grew up in Cary, NC right outside of Raleigh, NC. I am married to my wonderful husband Jack and I have two beautiful boys, 25 and 28. I began purchasing and managing long term rental homes in my 20's and in my 30's progressed to short term vacation homes. I currently own one long term rental home, a log cabin in the NC mountains, a lodge in the NC mountains (Sugar Tree) a condo in North Myrtle Beach and I manage several other properties also.
In my spare time, I enjoy interior design, custom building and traveling. My husband and I actually designed, built and decorated Sugar Tree Lodge all by ourselves! It took us a little over a year, but we enjoyed every minute of it!
We are happy to be able to share our beautiful home with you and hope you love it as much as we do.
We look forward to hosting you!
Safe Travels!
Karen

Why they chose this property

The lodge is unique because my husband and I actually built the entire cabin ourselves! It took us a total of 9 months and I designed it, he built it and I did all of the staining and painting. Everything is custom made, even the furniture, shelving, bathroom vanities and doors. This is a very unique property!

What makes this property unique

You are secluded and feel a million miles away from everything, but you are actually only 15 minutes from downtown West Jefferson, 10 minutes to Mt. Jefferson State Park, 25 minutes from Boone and Blowing Rock. You can walk to the New River also!
