The space
Welcome to one of Sugar Mountain's most extraordinary homes — a stunning multi-level retreat perched high in the NC High Country with breathtaking mountain views, resort-caliber amenities, and warm charm that makes guests come back year after year.

Whether you're here to ski, hike, celebrate, or simply exhale at 4,000 feet — this place was built for all of it.

The Views

Wake up, step outside, and there it is — the iconic rocky profile of Grandfather Mountain rising above the valley, painted in morning light. From the deck, the hot tub, the fire pit, even through the great room's floor-to-ceiling windows — stunning mountain views surround you at every turn. Watch the colors shift from sunrise pink to afternoon blue to golden-hour amber. It never gets old. That view from the hot tub at sunset with a cold drink in hand? You'll be talking about it for years.

Five Stunning Outdoor Spaces

• Fire Pit Pavilion
The perfect gathering spot for the whole family. Kids can roast marshmallows while adults unwind with a glass of wine, all with breathtaking mountain views as your backdrop. Some of the best memories of the trip will be made right here.

• Hot Tub with Mountain Views
A large, covered hot tub on its own private deck with open views of the Blue Ridge. String lights, fresh towels, and pure mountain air. Soaking here at dusk as the sky turns orange behind the ridgeline is as good as it sounds.

• Cedar Barrel Sauna ("Almost Heaven")
A premium cedar barrel sauna nestled in the trees with its own dedicated deck, glass-front door, electric heater with stones, wooden bucket and ladle, and ambient interior lighting. Step out refreshed and breathe in that High Country air.

• Upper Deck
Outdoor dining for the whole family, a gas grill, and a gas fire table — all with Grandfather Mountain front and center. Grill dinner as the sun drops behind the peak. It doesn't get better than this.

• Lower Covered Porch
Additional covered seating with direct access to the hot tub and sauna, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Inside the Home

The great room is spectacular — soaring vaulted pine ceilings, a stone fireplace, and a dramatic wall of floor-to-ceiling windows framing the mountains like a living painting. Multiple plush sofas, Smart TVs with Netflix, and warm natural light make this the perfect gathering space in any season.

The dining room seats the whole family elegantly beneath a chandelier, with a High Country Wine Trail map on the wall to inspire afternoon adventures. The kitchen is fully loaded: rich dark cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, a waffle maker — and a dedicated coffee bar stocked with a dual-brew coffee maker, flavored Torani syrups, a full mug collection, and everything you need for the perfect mountain morning. A full washer and dryer is on-site for longer stays.

The Bedrooms
