About the host
Hosted by Steven & Sue
Hi, I’m Sue, the host behind Elevated Stays, a curated collection of mountain homes in two of the most beautiful regions in the country — Bryson City, North Carolina and Driggs, Idaho.
What started as a log cabin in NC has grown into a multi‑state portfolio of creekfront homes, mountain‑view cabins, downtown lofts, and modern alpine townhomes. I believe great stays are built on thoughtful details — cozy porches, comfortable beds, stocked kitchens, and spaces designed for gathering. Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, I’m honored to share these special corners of the Smokies and Tetons with you.
Great travel is about connection — to nature, to adventure, and to the people you’re with. Whether you’re exploring the Great Smoky Mountains, skiing at Grand Targhee or Jackson Hole, riding the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, or watching the Tetons glow at sunset, I’m honored to provide a home that elevates your experience.
Wherever the mountains call you, I’m here to welcome you home.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this cabin because of its full log build! The cabin is truly a cabin; inside & out. The seclusion it offers with long range seasonal mountain views make this home extremely enjoyable and a true feeling of getting away from it all! We just love it and are happy to share it with you!
What makes this property unique
Total peacefulness happens when you arrive at Sophie's Choice! It lives large, warm, and cozy & gives the perfect mountain feel. We named it Sophie's Choice after our daughter.
