Sugar Mountain is such a beautiful place to plan a winter ski trip or a downhill mountain biking summer spree (ski lift takes your bike to the summit). The best way to enjoy your carefree days is when the slopes are right outside your backdoor! This cozy roundhouse has been completed renovated (2021) with new upstairs bathrooms, downstairs family bedroom, central A/C, and enlarged parking is the perfect ski-in ski-out location; ski right from the door of the lower family room! Being right on the slopes, you might just fall off the couch with a bellyaching laugh as you watch all the nighttime skiers ‘fly by outside’ through this home’s massive windows. A small full kitchen has everything you need to enjoy an evening with the family and the wraparound deck will give you amazing views of the mountain and early morning wildlife. In summer, enjoy the bike park and scenic chairlift on Memorial Day weekend, July 4th weekend through Labor Day weekend, Octoberfest, and Wooly Worm Festival in Banner Elk.
What's nearby: There's so much to do here at Sugar Mountain! The ski resort is right up the street where you can enjoy the skating rink and drink some hot chocolate in the ski lodge, and there's even a golf course if you're visiting in the warmer months. A ten-minute car ride will bring you to the Foggy Mountain Gem Mine where you can pan for gems with instructors for an educational family experience, or catch some incredible views of the mountains by crossing the Mile High Swinging Bridge and ziplining at Hawksnest. Mystery Hill (18 miles) is perfect for kids and it's a must! Only 10 miles away is Grandfather Mountain and Grandfather Trout Farm (five miles) is the perfect place to try fishing, especially if you never tried it before.
Things to know: Free WiFi Full Kitchen 4x4/AWD recommended in the winter

Wonderful Visit!
We absolutely loved this house for our late-season family snowboarding trip! It was so great to be right on the slopes so we could ski out. The second living room down stairs was a great feature, so the adults and kids could have their own space. Just a really great space for our family getaway. We will definitely look for it next time we come to Sugar Mountain!
Location was amazing and architecture of the home is pretty cool. We did find trash left over from previous occupants when we pulled out the sleeper couch and used the recliner. Overall great place.

It was comfy and pretty but we saw bugs inside and the blankets wear not soft and didn’t keep you...
I really like the kitchen seating, it reminds me of a restaurant type and what I also really loved was how natural and comfy it felt.

Spring Break Slopesider Eight
We’ve stayed in several slopesider properties and enjoy the convenience and charm of the community. This place was great. It is cute as can be and very nicely set up for plenty of guests!
The built in dining table is great for meals and games and the separate area downstairs was perfect for the kids to have their own space. We all appreciated having cable and internet, too.
The ski in ski out is PERFECT. Lots of accommodations for gear, and set up to make it so easy to organize, dry or heat all those boots and gloves.
The owners have done a great job with space and storage given the unique layout of a cute mushroom house.
Super happy with the place and rental process!
We really enjoyed the location and easy access to the slopes! Super cute and nicely upgraded bathrooms upstairs. Living room furniture is a little worn and if weather is bad, the TV is really small for any movie watching. An upgraded Smart TV with Netflix would be a plus. Kitchen eating area was awesome for meals and even having to do a little remote work. Only other item that stood out was the loud A/C handler in the Primary bedroom with King bed. The heat ran all night, and it is directly over your head. Cute cabin!

Beautiful house and location! - needs cleaning and upgrading
Ill keep the review summarized to key points:
1. The house has a GREAT location. Ski in and ski out, very convenient!
2. The Check-in was terrible!! We arrived at 4pm (the check in time) and the sheets were all over the FLOOR. Not one bed was made.
the bathroom towels were on the FLOOR too and were all dirty.
There were FOOD crumbs all over the floor and the couches.
Coffee from past guests, and dirty dishes as well.
I called and they sent a cleaning service 2 hours later.
The cleaning service ONLY changed linens and towels, the floor was still left dirty...
this was very disappointing, since we spent christmas in the cabin.
3. a good 8-10 people fit, there is enough space for everyone.
4. Again.. VERY good location for a winter vacation but consider calling a couple of times before arriving to make sure they cleaned or at least picked up after the other guests.
The location provides great access to the slopes. U really can ski in and ski out. We had a great time.

Nice stay
The home had a great view. It is older but well maintained and had everything that you need. The wraparound porch was very nice all times of day. We only used one bedroom but it has plenty of space for 10 people.

Perfect mountain spot!
We loved our stay! Beautiful house, lots of space for us to spread out and so much character! We will be back next year too!
Great little place. Easy access to slopes and quite close to Banner Elk. Trips to grocery store took all of 10 minutes. Some nice remodeling done in bathrooms, however, oven and dishwasher are in need of replacement for sure but are still functional. Don't wait to watch the water boil! Also, owners, pony up the 25 bucks a month to get a few channels on the TV, eh? My advice is to make sure you bring your fire stick, appletv etc with you and plug it in, otherwise you will be watching the one news channel. These are small things and would not deter us from renting this same spot again!

House location was amazing , Vacasa not happy with!!
You literally cannot get a better location. House does need to be upgraded though. For very little money it would make a huge difference. Carpet is old and ratty. Kitchen needs upgrading . The original cleaning was a joke! Bed linens were not changed ! Hairs and crumbs literally on the linens on the upstairs and the bottom bedrooms were not even made .iCoykd go on and on overall the house was filthy!!!
Very unhappy with the response from Vacasa on Sugar Mountain !!! I stay at Sugar every year and this is the 2nd time this has happened with a Vacasa rental . The Vacasa Mgr, said they were short handed ,So you put me in a filthy house that I paid to have cleaned ? Vacasa ultimately did send 2 ladies over and got things cleaned but it was after 8 pm when they left.

Wonderful Sugar Slopesider for the Holidays!
This slopesider is recently renovated with the bells and whistles + decoration of a high end home. Perfectly positioned on the slopes for ski in ski out, this home enabled us to enjoy our vacation despite the record cold temps. The owner also provided the most festive Christmas decorations on the mountain for our Christmas stay! A+++
