**Welcome to Cozy Rustic Cabin!**

Welcome to Cozy Rustic Cabin, your ideal mountain getaway on Sugar Mountain! Located less than three miles from the Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, a lovely public golf course, and tennis courts, this charming cabin is perfect for all seasons. In the winter, you can dive into fun activities like skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and snow tubing right at the golf course. For an extra thrill, check out the Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster, just a quick six-minute drive away! If you're looking for local charm, downtown Banner Elk is about 5 miles away and offers delightful shopping and dining. Don't forget to visit Grandfather Winery, only six miles from us, where you can sip wine and enjoy live music at the vineyard.

Step inside Cozy Rustic Cabin and feel instantly at home! Our lovely log cabin features an open-concept main floor, making it easy to relax and entertain. With beautiful exposed log walls and vaulted ceilings featuring open beams, the great room radiates warmth and charm. Picture yourself unwinding by the floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace after a day of adventure! The bright kitchen features stainless steel appliances and lovely quartz countertops, plus a spacious island perfect for meal prep. You can also step out onto the covered back deck from the dining area to soak in those stunning mountain views while sipping your morning coffee. When it's time for some fun, the loft has a foosball table for friendly competitions and a big-screen Smart TV for movie nights. If you need to catch up on some work, there's a desk waiting for you in the loft. And don't miss out on the hot tub on the lower deck, where you can relax and breathe in the fresh mountain air. Plus, the covered deck offers cozy Adirondack seating and a gas grill for those sunny days.

Cozy Rustic Cabin is a newly built gem with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The spacious master bedroom on the upper floor features a king bed, a Smart TV, and an ensuite bathroom equipped with double vanities and a step-in shower for added comfort.

Nice, newer place offering spacious accommodations conveniently located for skiing. It is just a short drive to the slopes. The hot tub was nice to have after skiing and the view of the mountains was great. Seems like they were still figuring out some things with the appliances but not that big of a deal.We went during an ice storm and the rental company was easy to reach before and during our trip.

With all due respect to John, I left a 5 star review because I knew it would be 5 stars had we had the opportunity to stay in it. One hour from our destination, we were contacted by Carolina Cabins that the pipes froze in the cabin and our stay was cancelled. That is a whole other story. We were so disappointed Mother Nature took our trip the extra mile. I am sure it is a beautiful cabin and the location was perfect. I hope others have enjoyed their stay since the pipes were defrosted and operable. Maybe next year...

Wonderful Mountain Cabin

The cabin is very new and immaculate. Lots of room to spread out. Located on Sugar Mountain on a quiet street. Nice long range view of mountains. Centrally located to all the many things to do in the area.

Ski retreat

We had a great stay at the house! Our family of 5 had plenty of room and really enjoyed the hot tub. The only thing I would suggest different is to add a few more cooking supplies to the kitchen like cooking oil. I would definitely stay again!

Around 1pm on the day we were supposed to arrive, we received a voicemail from Carolina Cabin Rentals that we would be unable to stay in the cabin we had reserved. They could not tell me why. I was presented with two replacement options, both of which cost more money, and one of which was significantly further out of town. We did end up deciding to stay at their Hidden Hawk property in the same general area for 3 of the 4 nights we had initially booked. While the house is in a great location, the property itself is in need of a serious deep cleaning and maintenance update. All of the lightbulbs in the house are mixed between incandescent and CFL bulbs and seem to all give off drastically different shades of light. A couple of the bathrooms also had burned out bulbs over the vanities. However, the worst problem was the bugs everywhere. Upon arrival, we were greeted by dead ants all over the floor around the door to the back deck. After brining our stuff inside we quickly realized there were ants and other bugs all over the house, even giant ants crawling out of the drains in the master bathroom! For the price and location, you can definitely find better maintained options from other companies.

Nice mid-week getaway to the mountains

We loved the cozy rustic cabin. It was definitely as advertised. The hot tub was a perk that we definitely enjoyed. Close proximity to the ski slopes. Everything was great two things. I will say, though, there was trash in the trashcan when we got there with no extra trash bags, and the dishwasher was full? Other than that, it was amazing!!!!!

Everything went wrong

The first property had no heat or water so after carrying everything in we had to reload cars to go to another property. The assistant we called had an attitude and didn’t seem overly interested in helping us. My car got stuck on the ice in the steep driveway and I had to call AAA to help me out. When we got to the second property it was a much loeer quality place. The downstairs was extremely cold and we could not get it warmed up so my daughter and I had to sleep with four blankets on top of us and we were still cold. There were food particles all over the microwave and the floors were dirty. The second property wasn’t worth what they charged us, but we didn’t really have a choice cause we needed somewhere to stay. I asked that we be compensated for the inconvenience of having to reload the car and move, with an infant, to a different location, but they only provided a very minimal discount of 70. We were very disappointed in the service we got from Carolina cabins.

Hi Bonnie thank you for the feedback. We do apologize that the heat was not working properly at the original home when you arrived. I was heartened by our response times and reaction to the issue. From the time you reported the issue until the time you entered your new home( that you chose among several options we sent) was right at an hour. I might remind you that at this time the region was under severe winter temperature warnings with temps well below zero. Temperatures that unusually low nearly all systems , especially heat pumps will struggle to keep a home 70 degrees plus. I will also remind you that you were refunded the difference in price between the two homes. Regarding the compensationThe amount refunded was very commiserate with the "inconvenience" associated with moving to a fairly close home. Again we are very sorry that the heat system failed at your first home but again we responded promptly and after perusing the correspondences with our staff, and it appears very professionally. We do regret that you left feeling otherwise.
