On The Rocks - Luxury Sugar Mountain Home with VIEWS!!!
Magnificent mountain views from this pristine, luxurious Sugar Mountain home await you!
Enter the home with just one small step onto the flagstone stoop from the paved driveway through the double mahogany doors into the welcoming great room. Featuring cathedral ceilings and exposed beams, this open and airy room is graciously furnished with plenty of seating arranged around a gas log glass-enclosed fireplace and a brand new LED TV. A half bath is just off this room, as well.
Preparing meals in this home is a chef's dream with the indoor kitchen offering features galore: a wine cooler, Jennair refrigerator, farmhouse style sink handmade in England, a silent garbage disposal, pantry with coffee bar and appliance shelves, and a huge granite island with 4 counter stools. A dining table for six awaits near a set of sliding glass doors leading to the covered outside kitchen entertainment area, which features granite counters and a built in Coyote grill as well as outdoor seating and dining options.
When it's time to wind down for the day, there are three lovely bedrooms to choose from. The Master suite offers double doors leading to a King bed with cushioned headboard, wallmounted LED TV, and a sliding door to the open deck. The private master bathroom brings a spa-like experience with a glamour soaking tub with overhead chandelier, separate travertine tiled shower, his and hers granite vanities, and a makeup area. The second and third bedrooms, off the great room, also each offer a King bed and LED TV, with their own private bathrooms.
Off the paved parking area is a double garage. One bay is available for parking, and the other bay has been turned into a game room dream! It features a three-piece wooden entertainment center, sofa, puzzles, board games, Nintendo64 console with games, Super Nintendo NES console with games, and a Nintendo Switch docking station all designed for easy switching between games and gaming systems. There's also a ping pong table for some friendly tournaments!
Step outside onto the spacious back deck and drink in the beautiful mountain views. The mountains offer stunning ever-changing scenery for you to enjoy all day long. In the chillier evenings, relax and enjoy your favorite beverage by the outside fireplace.
When you stay here, you'll be pleased to find you're located just a few minutes' drive to the desirable Sugar Mountain amenities, including skiing and snowboarding in winter as well as golf, tennis, and hiking in warmer months. The town of Banner Elk with its world class dining is only ten minutes away, with Boone and Blowing Rock only 45 minutes away.
No matter what you choose to experience during your visit to the High Country, you're sure to love coming home and relaxing On The Rocks!

Breathtaking Views
The photos do not do the property justice - it is stunning, with a picturesque sunset. Tucked away in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood it was the perfect place for our trip.

5-Star Home with Fabulous Views!
Our family of four stayed for a long ski weekend and would go back in a heartbeat! The home is new, tastefully decorated, great open floor plan, 10 minutes from Sugar Mountain skiing, and with stunning views.

Beautiful but beware
This home is beautiful, but beware if it is cold outside. The Master bedroom and bath were freezing. There was no raidant heat in the bathroom floors or a heater to compensate for the freezing master bathroom. The problem was reported immediately and we were told to close all the other heat vents, but the Master wing of the house was still cold. There was only enough hot water for one person to take a shower. It is located up a narrow road and quite a distance from the ski area.

Great House, needs some small attention. We would still return.
This is great property. GPS stops about 2 mins from the house so locating if unfamiliar with area could be small issue. Otherwise non factor.
House was gorgeous with wonderful views. We had three couples and three kids under 5. The living space is huge and welcoming. Easy to let the kids sit in the floor and adults enjoy the fire.
The only downsides of this house are there following.
1)Water pressure is super super low. Making showers/bath time for kids and dishwashing somewhat challenging.
2) many outlets i master did not work. Making phone charging, kids noise machines, and other accessories tough to charge and use.
3) The beds and bedrooms are spacious and well appointed. I think some upgrades in pillows and mattress toppers could help.
We stayed during and extremely cold snowy weekend which was exactly what we wanted and expected but found one last issue.
3)The master suite is freezing and the heating blankets do not work. Not a huge issue for just adults, but we had our 1 yr old sleeping in a pack and play and he did not sleep well both nights. Luckily we had a small heating pad we would place under his sleep are to provide more warmth. Both nights we did not sleep because he kept waking up hourly cold and ending up sleeping in the bad with us. THe HVAC could due for some maintenance since we adjusted the heat and expected the master to warm, it only made our other guests super super hot at night and didn’t warm up the master at all. It’s about 10-15 degrees cooler than the rest of the house. This property is not a budget property, so these small HVAC issues and electrical issue would go a long way for making this property continue to be a rental star.
All and all, we enjoyed the house. It’s super welcoming and spacious. Great set up for adult guests, great play room in garage, loved the fire.
We will likely return but hope the HVAC and small electrical issues can be adjusted.

Brand new
One of the cleanest and newest cabin I have ever seen. All the furniture and kitchen equipment are brand new. The view was fantastic. We spent couple of hours outside by the fire place every day. They turned the garage to a game room with a ping pong tables, video games, board games and etc. If you have kids, they wont leave the game room. I wish the cabin has a hot tub. That would have been awesome.
