About this property

Mountain Moments by Carolina Properties - Pet Friendly, Great Views, Private!

PET FRIENDLY ~ EXCEPTIONAL MOUNTAIN VIEWS ~ INTERNET ~ ROMANTIC ~ FIREPLACE ~ WOOD FLOORS

Breathtaking Splendor
A saying automatically brings this home to mind: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away." The splendor of this bountiful landscape is boundless and breathtaking!

Guests have called the views therapeutic. This is a retreat you will not want to leave. When you do, it is one you and your family (four-legged family members welcome) will long to return to again and again, no matter the season. This mountain home is 33 miles from Linville Caverns, 52 miles from Grandfather Mountain State Park and the Mile High Swinging Bridge, 19.3 miles to the Beach at Lake Lure, 20.6 miles to Chimney Rock State Park, and 27.7 miles to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC).

A Therapeutic Recharge
Whether it is to get away for a long weekend (there is a 3-night minimum stay) or a relaxing vacation, step inside Mountain Moments, and you will feel your stress melt away. The wall of windows, stone fireplace, and hardwood walls and floors of the great room give an instant feeling of warmth and comfort. Just imagine enjoying a gorgeous sunset while relaxing in front of a blazing fire. Dine indoors or in the mountain air on a stone patio (gas grill) with a fire pit to keep you warm. This is also a perfect spot for your morning coffee or tea; have a seat on the stone wall.

With All the Comforts of Home
With three spacious bedrooms, a loft sleeping area, and two (2) full baths, there is ample room for seven (7) guests. The fully equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, refrigerator, range, microwave, coffee maker, and various small appliances. In the hall is a stacked washer/dryer. For entertainment, the home offers a TV with a DirecTV Classic Silver package and 200 channels; a VCR/DVD and selection of movies; a stereo with an iPod connection; and internet service (no streaming, gaming, or downloads).

Conveniently Located
Mountain Moments is located in Sugar Hill, North Carolina, 15 minutes south of Marion, 20 minutes from Old Fort, and 20 minutes to Lake Lure/Chimney Rock. This log home is convenient to Lake James, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Black Mountain. It is 45 minutes from Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Be Our Guest
In addition to some of the most breathtaking views you will ever see, western North Carolina offers several entertainment and activity options. See the Amenities and Local Area Guide for just a sampling of what the area offers.

Pack your clothes, pick up some groceries (stores nearby), then sit back and relax. We look forward to you being our guest.

AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2024, through the first quarter of 2024(March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. This will not affect the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.

Dogs (1 or 2) are welcome in this home.

Smoking is prohibited in all of our vacation rental homes.
Parking for 3-4 vehicles.
Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. local time or anytime after.

Great Place to stay, don’t check out on Sunday though
This place was very nice and suited the group we were with. My only complaint would be the trash procedure. The home-guide stated to “Please make sure all bags are securely tied closed and put in the outside trash can(s)”. Instead, this property actually requires guests to take trash out to the local trash center, which is no issue at all. The problem I had was that all the trash centers in the area are closed on Sundays (the day of our checkout). Other than that, would recommend this place, just not for Sunday checkouts.

Good place to stay
MM was a great place for us to stay, me, my son, and Pilot, the Golden. Private location, fairly easy access, nice lay out and cozy. View was fantastic, ever changing, clouds, layers of mountains. Stone work is great, good dog walking area. We will return.
