About this property

Spacious 6BR | Hot Tub, Fire Place & Pitt | Pet Friendly | Ski Sugar next door

Welcome to the Sugar Nest, a cozy 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom cabin that is the perfect post-adventure retreat for a multi-generational family or group. Immersed in the scenic mountain setting while conveniently located minutes from the slopes of Sugar Mountain Resort and close access to everything the area offers. Come in the spring for the perfect temperatures while enjoying a cup of coffee or wine on our large wrap around patio. Escape the summer heat and roast marshmallows around the campfire after a day of hiking, biking, rafting, and more. Drive the Blue Ridge Parkway in the fall and enjoy the fantastic colors of the leaves. Warm up in the hot tub this winter after hitting the slopes or enjoying other winter activities! Short drive to Banner Elk, Boone, and Beech Mountain in the beautiful High Country of North Carolina. We would love to host your next vacation so you can make the best memories with your loved ones!

The space
The entire property is newly renovated! Nestled in the lush trees, it features a large wrap-around deck with a hot tub, a giant Weber grill, and dining, lounging, and sitting areas. Plenty of Adirondack chairs circling the fire pit, along with many outdoor games to keep everyone entertained.

The home's inside features an open living area connected to the fully stocked kitchen and dining room for great entertainment. Expansive six bedrooms allow guests to retreat to their private spaces, and two queen pull-out couches for additional sleeping arrangements when needed!

Guest access
As the old saying goes, mi casa e su casa!

Our guests are welcome to use all parts of the property. There are no shared spaces with other properties.

We have an electronic keypad for easy access to the home; you will receive the code up to 48 hours before your arrival.

While the house sits on a relatively flat surface, roads leading to the house can be windy and narrow.

We are located on the mountain, and a 4 Wheel Drive / All-Wheel Drive car or tire chains are highly recommended between November and March.

Refunds will not be issued due to inclement weather. Please make sure to purchase travel insurance to avoid disappointment.

Other things to note
Before booking, make sure to read the house rules.

Take a look at the neighborhood details further down in the listing. The cabin is in such a central great location with so much to offer year round.

Always feel free to reach out to us if you have any additional questions or concerns.

The house was wonderful set up really well for a larger group had everything we needed in the kitchen. A hot tub was great for the kids. We use the fire pit they even supplied wood for the fire. It was just an ideal place to stay. There are like Woodland creatures all around. It was just overall wonderful day. We would love to come back if we were in the area again.

Bill was an excellent host, was very fast at replying to my questions! Check in was a snap. House is great, was very clean and well maintained. Hot tub was very clean, and we enjoyed soaking under the stars. The large yard was perfect for walking our dogs! It’s a great location, very close to Boone and Banner Elk. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Amazing Home

This home was cozy and offered all we needed. The renovated space was beautiful. Weather was not in our favor, so we did not get to utilize the outdoor space, but inside offered plenty of room for our group.

Great Place, and Great Location

My son and I came for the day to visit Sugar Mountain and do some skiing. We are very olease with this hone. Very inviting and comfortable. It is also very clean. What a great way to relax in the Jacuzzi after a full day of skiing. Only downside is that the fireplace did not work upon our visit.Hoping to come back next time and experience the full effect of "Cozy", with a working fireplace.Sincerely,CJB

About the host

Hosted by Sugar Nest

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

When we acquired The Sugar Nest, our goal was simple: create the most family-friendly, high-value lodge on the mountain. We noticed that most large groups were forced to choose between ultra-expensive luxury estates or splitting up into multiple cramped condos. The Sugar Nest bridges that gap.

We love this property because of its "flow." The main floor lets grandparents relax by the fire without navigating stairs, while the upstairs becomes a haven for cousins and kids to bond. The location is the sweet spot of Sugar Mountain—high enough to get the breathtaking views and cool summer breezes, but low enough that you aren't spending 20 minutes just driving down the mountain to get a gallon of milk.

Whether you are grilling on the deck in July or soaking in the hot tub after a snowy January ski day, this home feels like a hug. It is not pretentious; it is comfortable, durable, and ready for your family's chaos and joy.

What makes this property unique

True 6-Bedroom Capacity: We don't count lofts or open hallways as bedrooms. Everyone gets a door and privacy.

The "Pet-Friendly" Deck: Our expansive wrap-around deck isn't just for views; it’s a secure outdoor space where your furry family members can enjoy the mountain air safely alongside you.

The Parking Advantage: Forget fighting for a spot or parking on a dangerous incline. Our flat, spacious parking area makes loading and unloading gear (and groceries) a breeze.

Tech-Ready: While you are here to disconnect, we know you need to stay connected. Our high-speed internet supports the whole group, from Zoom calls to gaming.

Shuttle Access: Located near the Grouse Moor Drive route, giving you car-free access to the slopes during peak ski season.
