Find yourself in the wooded wonderland of Sugar Mountain at this gorgeous home sitting just a half-mile from endless skiing and hiking trails! Though this getaway is in the heart of Sugar Mountain, you will feel as if you are in a secluded cabin away from it all due to the dense forest right outside. Start each day with a warm mug of coffee on the wraparound deck and breathe in that fresh mountain air. Most guests will spend most of their time outside, yet the interior of this home has just as much to offer with rustic accents, a spacious layout, and a well-equipped kitchen boasting all necessary appliances. When everyone returns to home base, gather for a home-cooked meal on the deck or in the dining area and wrap up a perfect vacation day with a movie night in the living room.

Located in the heart of Sugar Mountain, this dreamy mountain oasis is perfectly positioned for full days of skiing on fresh powder or hiking along gorgeous trails amongst fall foliage. Great hiking areas nearby include Grandfather Mountain State featuring the Mile High Swinging Bridge and Beech Mountain. A round of 18 is just a half-mile away at Ole Esval Sugar Mountain Municipal Golf Course, so the golfers of the group will get their fill of fun as well. When guests build up an appetite, head into Banner Elk and grab a bite to eat.

Great Place to Stay

Unit was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. It isn't very large but we primarily used it as a place to sleep and shower, and spent the days and evenings getting the kids moved in and ready for school so it was perfect. The location on Sugar Mountain is perfect to access Sugar, Beech, and Grandfather Mountains plus Banner Elk. Highly recommend, will definitely stay here on future trips.

It was nice to be able to spread out with my kids. This place can comfortably sleep 6 in 3 different bedrooms, but the living room only has seating for 5 and the kitchen just has dinning space for 3 (unless the weather is nice, then there is loads of seating on the deck).The road there is steep and winding. It is close to gem mining, the alpine coaster and the open section of the Blue Ridge Parkway.We had a crew show up unannounced to measure something because the homeowner didn't tell them the unit was occupied... but we were also waiting for someone from Vasca because the roof leaked during the storm.

A great stay

We wanted a quiet little place with a fireplace and this was perfect. My husband and I, our two teenagers and my mother in law had plenty of room in this little house. We loved the decor and the view was beautiful. We were there the last weekend of "leaf season" so the first day we could just see the beautiful leaf color by the end we could see Grandfather Mountain and everything else perfectly. It is a perfect little spot, out of the way but also only 3- 4 minutes to restaurants and the grocery store. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Briarcliff at Sugar Mountain

Loved our visit to Sugar Mountain. The house was perfectly sized for our stay. Beds were comfy and bathrooms were well stocked with toiletries needed for the entire stay. Only downfall was the broken coffee maker but we made due with the French press that we found in the kitchen. I had never used one before, but have discovered that coffee is better when pressed by hand. Was bummed to be without power for a whole day, but the whole mountain was without power due to a fallen meteor so you can't really control that. We made due with boardgames which was a nice change from tablets and streaming devices. The rental staff was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we notified them of.

Condo 5 star cleaning 2 star

Condo couldn't be any more perfect. The owners have taken a lot of time and made every effort on the condo furnishings, decor with updated bathrooms and kitchen and nice wood floors. The condo however was not cleaned properly upon our arrival. We were greeted with a slight odor, dirty face towels in the bathroom, two beds appeared to have been slept in or not been redone. Dirty pan in the oven, used soap and shampoos in the bathtub. A broken towel rack in the upstairs bathroom. No body soap, no dishsoap, no garbage bags, no dish sponge or rag, no hand soap. I called upon arrival and then again the very next day and was assured that this would be addressed and that I would get a call. No one called or came by to provide the items mentioned during our visit. I personally cleaned and purchased what was necessary to make our stay comfortable. And washed the towels before our families use. Would definitely stay here again but would ensure the property manager follows through on inspecting to be sure the property is indeed rental ready prior to a guest arrival.
