10/10 EXCELLENT CABIN!
First I’ll address the driveway.It’s steep, just as described in the description as well as comments. Our 4WD vehicle went up just fine but our other vehicle did not. It stayed safely parked at the bottom of the driveway. Some could consider that an inconvenience however definitely not a ruined vacation, especially considering all this beautiful property has to offer. This cabin is fully stocked! Plenty of towels, pillows, blankets, seating, toiletries, kitchen appliances/dishes, grill with propane!, indoor/outdoor games.. this place has everything you need for your family of all ages! There’s plenty of space, the mattresses are COMFY! The cabin is CLEAN. Especially for being a pet-friendly accommodation, you would never know! It’s also perfectly located. Such a beautiful drive to Banner Elk, Boone, Beech Mountain, and Grandfather Mountain where we frequented.We were also impressed by how well the host responded to us throughout the whole booking to checkout process. This place is 10/10 for many reasons. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us! We’d 100% stay again!!(Recommendation: visit Sugar Mountain’s 4th of July Celebration/Fireworks show from the mountaintop via skylift—there’s nothing like it!! —see picture)

Peaceful stay
Had a great stay at this very adorable cabin! It’s clean and so well decorated! Had such a quiet and peaceful stay! Only problem we had was the driveway. They had rock recently put down and my car couldn’t get up the driveway. Other than that it was an awesome cabin and we will definitely stay again!

Could not drive up the driveway
We were unable to drive up the driveway to access the cabin. It is very long and very steep and has slate that is improperly packed. I have videos of my tires spinning out. I was traveling with my handicapped mother so even walking up the driveway was not an option... Although it would have been long and difficult to get up the driveway by carrying our stuff anyway. I immediately messaged the host and still haven't anstill haven't heard back. It's been a nightmare.ovelater.

Beautiful location
This cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. A perfect place to get away from away from city noise and enjoy mother nature. It was clean and quiet. The only issue i had was the gravel road that led up to the cabin, my car was unable to make it up. Definitely recommend going with a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Other than that this cabin was amazing!

Cozy Cabin in Sugar Grove
The cabin was very cozy and in a good location. Located about 15-20 minute from downtown Boone. Good privacy. Convenient to Beech Mountain, Elk Knob State Park, and Grandfather Mnt.
We loved it here! Stayed overnight for a ski weekend. The house was adorable! Everything we needed was here, so clean and spacious. Will definitely stay again.

Lovely quick trip
We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. It was very clean and well appointed. My daughter appreciated all the toys in the kids room and we all enjoyed relaxing on the porch. The driveway was a bit daunting but we got up and down it with no issues in our SUV- my daughter thought it was a very fun “ride”
Great gateway from the daily stress of work and the routine of life.

Sorry, I never get a signal while there to let you know how great your cabin was. It was like home away from home. Very clean and cozy. Weather was nice besides the rain showers we had. The driveway got us a couple of times but we made it up. The hair dyer was missing but I bought one and left it for other guest. The grill wasn’t clean but we used grilled sheets. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks so much for making our stay welcoming!!

Great stay
We had a great experience, the cabin was equipped with everything we needed and more. I loved the back porch it is all closed it and nice with a swing. The rooms were big and had enough room for my family.
We had a great time! The cabin is awesome! It is well stocked with anything that you will need during your stay. The driveway is tricky. We had a 4 wheel drive so didn’t have a problem. If it is dry any vehicle can make it up. When it rained my son’s front wheel drive would not make it up. This is a mountain cabin so a steep driveway is not surprising. A little maintenance will help. We will keep this property in mind if we come up to this area again. Thanks for a special trip!!
