About this house rental

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 relaxing 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!).

We had a great stay at the cottage! My husband, two kids, and I were there with my parents for a weekend of skiing. Sara and Ted were responsive and helpful. We enjoyed sitting by the fire and having a place to relax after skiing. The kids loved the trundle bed upstairs and the games. Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible cottage on a couples trip, and I can’t recommend it enough! Perched at the top of the mountain, the views of the ski slopes were a huge plus—waking up to the beautiful snow scenery every morning was a dream. The cottage itself was cozy yet spacious, with every amenity you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. From a well-equipped kitchen to a warm fireplace, it truly felt like a home away from home. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, this place is perfect. I can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed a fun weekend up in the mountains with views of the ski slopes, and a quick hop to all of the local activities. The house was well equipped, beautifully furnished, and clean. Will definitely book again.

Sara and Ted's place feels like home! Their cottage has just enough modern updates while maintaining the authentic mountain cottage feel. We had everything we needed extra welcoming touches. You can't beat the location for access to Sugar Mountain. There's also a base shuttle that will stop at the end of the cabin's road, which helped us around tricky holiday weekend resort parking. We'd happily stay again!
