Cozy Ridge-Top Cottage: 5 Min to Ski Lodge, Large Yard, Fire Pit

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 chill 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.

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!).
