Welcome to Sugar Mountain Escape!

Sugar Mountain Escape is a charming two (2) bedroom mountain cottage located near the top of Sugar Mountain, only minutes away from the slopes of Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, and convenient to downtown Banner Elk, Grandfather Mountain, Seven Devils, Ski Beech, Valle Crucis, and both Boone and Blowing Rock.

*You can walk to the slopes or enjoy the convenience of 'virtual slope side' service via the Sugar Ski Resort Shuttle! The Sugar Mountain Ski Resort shuttle will pick you up at the property, drop you off at the slopes during the ski season, and return you to Sugar Mountain Escape when desired. Walk to the slopes and shuttle back, shuttle to the slopes and walk back, or take the shuttle both ways - it is up to you!

Sugar Mountain Escape has year-round, unobstructed mountain views that will not disappoint. The master suite, on the main level, features a King bed, an HD Smart TV, and glass doors leading to a quiet rear deck. The ensuite master bathroom features a large step-in shower.

At nearly 5000 feet in elevation, Sugar Mountain Escape rarely needs air conditioning. There are a few portable air conditioning units that adequately cool a large room or area.

The main floor is an open-concept living room featuring soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, a wood-burning fireplace, and an HD Smart TV. The living room is adjacent to the kitchen, which features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a center island with a live-edge wood slab top. The dining area accommodates up to eight (8) guests. The den, located off the living room, provides a second area on the main level for relaxation and entertaining. It features many windows that allow natural light and provide a mountain view. The den has another HD Smart TV and ample comfy furniture. A sleeper sofa on the main level can sleep two (2) more guests. There is a hallway half bathroom on the main level as well.

Upstairs is an open loft with a cozy table and chairs for games and puzzles. A queen pull-out in the loft can accommodate two (2) guests. The full bathroom upstairs has a tub/shower combo. Past the open loft area is a queen bedroom with vaulted ceilings, an HDTV with a Smart BluRay player for watching DVDs, BluRay discs, and accessing all of your cable programming as well as Netflix and other Smart TV options.

A main-level front porch offers a peaceful, shaded place to enjoy the outdoors. The back deck on the main level boasts mountain views and looks down to the mature woods rolling down and away from the back of the house. Here you will find a gas grill. A lower-level platform deck features the hot tub. Sugar Mountain Escape allows pets, specifically dogs, with a maximum of two (2) per household and a strict 45-pound weight limit per dog. Standard pet fees will apply.

Sugar Mountain Escape is near the top of Sugar Mountain, a long walk (less than 1/2 mile) or a short drive (less than 3 miles to the main parking area) to the slopes of Sugar Mountain Ski Resort. Although near the top, the house is conveniently located near all there is to do in the High Country.

*The garage is kept locked for owner storage and is not accessible to guests.
*The driveway at Sugar Mountain Escape is a downhill, gravel driveway. It offers plenty of parking. However, if you do not have a 4WD or all-wheel drive vehicle, we encourage you to keep your vehicle parked at the top of the driveway, as it is challenging to get out from the bottom of the driveway with the gravel and its grade unless you have 4-wheel or all-wheel drive. If you have a rear-wheel drive vehicle, we suggest you back in and keep it toward the top of the driveway. If you have a front-wheel-drive vehicle, we recommend you pull in facing down but keep it toward the top of the driveway.
