Darling dog-friendly getaway with fireplace & large decks - near the slopes
Halfback Mountain Retreat
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
If it's time for a well-deserved break from your busy life to hit the slopes, the hiking trails, or the golf courses, consider a stay at this adorable vacation rental in snowy Sugar Mountain! This charming, updated home includes burnished floors, a stacked-stone gas fireplace, and a well-equipped, full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar for two. Dine at the adjacent table for four (perfect for family board game nights), and then settle into the cozy living area with a cable and Netflix-equipped TV plus a toasty gas fireplace. And just off this space, you'll find a private, furnished deck offering forest and mountain views - you might even catch glimpses of the occasional inquisitive deer!
Ideal for a small family ski-cation, this home is just two miles away from the renowned Sugar Mountain Resort for prime skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating in winter, as well as mountain biking and hiking in the summer. Looking for a fun, family-friendly activity? You may visit the alpacas at Apple Hill Farm, eight miles away. Additionally, don't miss attractions like the Foggy Mountain Gem Mine for a fun, family-friendly experience, and Grandfather Mountain State Park, home of the Mile High Swinging Bridge. And when it's time to dine, check out the many local restaurants just a short walk away. Visit Banner Elk (three miles) and Beech Mountain Ski Resort (eight miles) for some more family-friendly activities.
