Awesome Stay!

Our stay was awesome! The house was in the perfect location. We went to Grandfather Mountain, Boone, Blowing Rock, and Linville Falls. Every evening we watched the sunset from the back deck which was breath-taking. We will definitely come back.

Perfect location for skiing

We enjoyed our stay at this property! Lots of space and nice amenities. Using the gas logs downstairs caused the loft to get too warm but once we figured that out, all was well

Beautiful and well kept

Nice property, very clean and well appointed. Parking for only two vehicles, and kind of tight with two SUV's but worth it for the view!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Owlery is conveniently located and comfortable,This was the second time we rented it. I have some trouble walking, so I appreciated the ramp and accessible shower. However, it’s starting to show its age: sagging mattress, ants, old electronics, old deck furniture, broken kitchen drawer, wood planks at the front entrance need repair or replacement. If some of these changes are made, especially the old mattress, we might rent it again.

Great stay, perfect for quick Sugar Mountain access

We loved our stay at the Owlery! We came to ski at Sugar Mountain, and the location made it a super fast drive (less than 5 mins). We could have walked, but we had small children with us. You can see the ski lodge and lifts from the back porch, and if you happen to be staying over New Years Eve like we were, you get an incredible view of the fireworks show! We comfortably slept 8 people, but could have had more on couches or sleeping bags if needed. The whirlpool bath is huge and was a big hit with the kids.Everything was comfortable and in good working order. The kitchen was just what we needed, and there was enough space for all of us to hang out after a long day of skiing.A couple of things that didn’t detract from the experience, but just worth noting: Parking can fit 2 cars but no more. Street parking in front is not allowed since the roads are tight. The upstairs gets very warm, and the basement level is very cold! Crack the window upstairs and you should be fine, and unless someone plans on sleeping downstairs, it’s not a problem. It snowed while we were there, and though the roads were plowed and salted quickly, it still got slippery in places. Bring your snow chains just in case. We loved our stay, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to spend time around Sugar Mountain.
