About this property
Cozy Mountain Retreat • Fireplace, Backyard Sledding, 5 Min to Ski Lodge
Looking for a cozy mountain getaway? This sweet cottage sits atop Sugar Mountain in North Carolina’s beautiful High Country. Enjoy meals on the wrap-around deck and hang out by the fire pit at night.
It’s perfect for a romantic weekend or a relaxing trip with family and friends. You’re just 10 minutes from downtown Banner Elk and 20 minutes from Boone, with hiking trails, outdoor adventures, great restaurants, scenic vineyards, and awesome breweries nearby.
We love hosting families and friends at our cozy spot on Sugar Mountain! If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re always happy to help.
KITCHEN:
Our kitchen’s ready for you — stocked with pots, pans, utensils, bowls, and more. You’ll find quartz countertops, brand-new stainless steel appliances, and a 12-cup drip/Keurig coffee maker to kickstart your mornings. We also leave some cooking oils, basic spices, and coffee filters to get you started.
The dining table seats six, and there’s a pantry/closet to stash your dry goods.
Heads up: We don't have a garbage disposal, and the fridge doesn't have an automatic ice maker (but we do have ice trays!).
LIVING ROOM:
Get cozy by the wood-burning fireplace or kick back with your favorite shows on the smart TV (full cable package included). Feel free to log into your streaming accounts too!
BEDROOMS:
Our home has three comfy bedrooms:
1 queen bedroom downstairs with a dresser and closet
1 queen bedroom upstairs with a closet
1 twin bedroom upstairs with two twin beds (one is a pull-out trundle)
Each bedroom has USB charging stations, an Alexa device, and a BlueAir purifier for your comfort.
BATHROOMS:
Two full bathrooms:
Downstairs: tub/shower combo
Upstairs: walk-in shower
OUTDOOR SPACE:
Our house is tucked in the trees with a big yard — perfect for relaxing outdoors. Enjoy the partially covered wrap-around porch with plenty of seating, or head to the backyard to hang out around the fire pit or fire up the charcoal grill.
PETS:
We’re big animal lovers, but because of severe family allergies, we cannot allow any pets. Thanks for understanding.
LOCATION:
Cool Breeze Cottage is just 5 minutes from Sugar Mountain Resort! Whether it’s skiing, snowboarding, tubing, hiking, golf, tennis, or mountain biking — the adventure never ends.
Want to explore more? Beech Mountain Resort is just a 20-minute drive through Banner Elk!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Sara and Ted

We’re a young family of four who love the outdoors and have a long history with these mountains. Our story started at on the Snowboard Team at Appalachian State, where we spent lots of time snowboarding at Sugar Mountain (back when the old yellow lift was still around!).
If you swing by Extreme at the base, tell them you're staying at the house of someone who helped win the "beer league" trophy behind the counter — we like to call it a major award.
Today, it’s been amazing to watch our kids fall in love with the same mountains we did. When we're not here, we’re soaking up the sun in Charleston, SC.
We hope Cool Breeze Cottage gives you the same feeling it gives us — a chance to slow down, recharge, and make great memories. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property
Why choose this property? It's all about skiing and snowboarding, exploring Appalachian State and Boone, hiking, fishing, gem mining, mountain biking, and soaking in the peace and quiet. Plus, enjoy local breweries and take a step back to unwind and spend quality time together.
Did I mention we live in Charleston, SC? When the Lowcountry heat index hits 110, that mid-70s August high at Sugar Mountain sounds absolutely perfect
