Great family getaway
The house is very clean and welcoming and perfect for a family getaway. We absolutely loved the location as it's very convenient to the grocery store, family friendly activities and the view is amazing. All of the bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable. We also really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and the game room. Thank you for the wonderful family trip memories!

Thanksgiving ski trip
Beautiful setting and house was clean and comfortable. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner here and kitchen was well equipped. Not enough snow for Sugar Mt to open so didn’t get to snowboard, but enjoyed the hot tub! Saw deer every morning coming down the mountain behind the house while eating breakfast. A great week!

The bottom floor was freezing. There was only one heater in the house until they came out to fix the entire unit when it went out on Saturday. Make sure you verify the heat on the bottom floor is fixed prior to staying here. Overall the property was great minus the bottom floor.

1st in Sugar fun
We had a great time at 1st in Sugar. The property was great and well located. We sold our home in Eagles Nest a year ago so it was great getting back to Banner Elk. Sugar Mountain is so easy and centrally located its a great place for first timers to Banner Elk.
