Holiday rentals with lake access in Sugar Mountain

All around an amazing place, great to unwind and just relax near the water, but not too far from town to go do something with the family. Hands down one of the best places I’ve been and will definitely be returning! Btw check out Appalachian Caverns, really an amazing place.

This property was perfect for our family gathering. Lots of spaces to gather and the kitchen was well stocked. It was so nice to have the water toys and dock. We rented a pontoon from Patrick (a local person recommended in the property binder) who delivered it to the dock and then came back and picked it up. We enjoyed the fire pit and appreciated the wood that was available. Can’t wait to plan to stay here again next year!

We really enjoyed our stay and wish we had more time to take in all the beauty and serenity the place has to offer. The home was clean, it fit our crew of 4 comfortably and had everything we could have needed. It looks like a newer home or remodeled and felt very nice and accommodating. There were even kayaks available, a blackstone grill, several TV apps which came in handy for cartoons for my youngest (and husband) and the lake is steps away. There’s a cute restaurant and general store that sells homemade and other goods about a 5 minute drive down the hill which we visited a few times. Great place and great location. I’d love to come back in the summer next time!!

We love staying here. It’s a perfect place for families and easy to walk to slope.

I planned a few days at Grandfather Mountain and the surrounding area. Chris’ location was perfect, just a few minutes away. It was clean and comfortable and it was exactly as described. It was very well stocked and had lots of little extras, including area information and even having the light/fan switches labeled for convenience. I definitely recommend his house and plan to use it again when I’m in the area.

Perfect stay for our family! Incredibly clean, beautiful decor. The hosts have paid close attention to detail and this house had everything we needed and more! We enjoyed the fenced in yard and fire pit. The sound machines in each bedroom were a great touch, and all the beds slept great! This is truly one of the nicest airbnbs I have ever stayed in. The hosts are so friendly and respond quickly. I would recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely be back!

Had another enjoyable week at Ross’s Retreat. So much room to relax and enjoy the beautiful lake & Mountain View’s. The 2 kayaks always a plus. Hopefully will be back again next year. Thanks again.

Steve and Karyn were great hosts! The cabin was spacious, clean, and beds were comfortable. The area is beautiful with plenty to do around town. We really enjoyed our time!

Blin's place was spotless, comfortable and the view was stunning - Fall leaves were in full color while we were there. The bathrooms were spacious and clean - the water was hot with good pressure. The king bed in the master was supportive and comfortable. I heard no complaints about the bunk room beds the kids used. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, bowls and cooking utensils. All appliances worked well. It was muddy while we were there so we rolled up the light colored rugs so we didn't accidentally stain them. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of area for him to run and the streets were quiet for a walk along the road. There are steps all the way to the water which will be amazing for lake access in the summer. As it was cold while we were there and the lake was still recovering from Hurrican Helene, we did not get in the water. All in all it was a great place to stay.

Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

A great location with almost immediate access to skiing and hiking trails! We didn’t use the amenities while there but did see many families enjoying them. A 15 minute ride to Boone and all that area offers was a plus. This was a quiet, corner location with a soothing view of a pond on the grounds out all of the windows. A good sized space to wind down after a full day of adventures!

The home was clean and really well organized. The layout of the beds and the rooms worked great for the number of people that were listed. Overall Chris was a great host and made our stay for skiing very cozy. We even had snow come in on the day we were checking out and the roads in the facility and the town roads were kept up really well. I’m not guaranteeing that you won’t get stuck in a 2wd vehicle, but the roads were kept up and I felt confident.

Great place for a visit to Sugar Mountain! I took my son and we had a blast. This place is really close to the mountain and everything g in Banner Elk! The place was very clean and had everything g we needed! I highly recommend!

Amazing time!

Wonderful stay with a wonderful host. The area is really nice with tons of stuff to do!

John is “the” host! We had a great time in his property. The property has everything you need to have a great time. You can fish, swim in the pond, play pool, etc. John takes really good care of you, cannot ask for a better host!

What an amazing place to stay! Every detail of this house was thoughtfully planned and decorated and included everything you need to make yourself at home. The kitchen and open area living space is fantastic with all amenities to create delicious meals while still hanging with family and friends. Very spacious and comfortable. Loved the lakeside deck, the screen porch and extra entertaining space under the main level with a grill. The lake has beautiful views from both the house and dock, great for boating or just relaxing. Thank you for making us feel right at home! We can’t wait to visit Hickory again!❤️

This place was exactly what we needed it to be. I would definitely stay here again.

Maria’s mountain house was lovely and suited us perfectly for a mountain getaway weekend. She was very responsive and provided clear communication leading up to check in and we were even able to check in a bit early. The space was very homey and extremely peaceful. There is access to a lot of hiking and outdoor spots nearby. The community also has access to tennis and pickleball courts for a small fee. There is a cute coffee truck a short drive away and nice streets for walking the dog!

We had an amazing stay at the lake house! The property was spotless and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals. The highlight of the stay was definitely the lake—perfect for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The combination of a clean and comfortable home with the natural beauty of the lake made for a wonderful getaway.

We found the cottage to be incredibly peaceful, cozy, and well-located for visiting Lake James. It was so serene waking up to the marina view and having a coffee on the spacious deck. The kids loved sleeping in the loft, and the breakfast nook was really cute. We already want to come back.

We enjoyed our trip to Newland and surrounding areas. Jeremy’s place was perfect for our family and friends. We enjoyed our trip!

It's a really charming, comfortable, clean, and quiet place. It has the best kitchen equipment of any place I've stayed: a large set of dish- and glassware, pots and pans, plush towels, comfortable bed. The host communicated well and quickly. I would definitely return.

Cute, comfortable, and convenient. I would definitely stay here again.
