This photo was taken on September 20th, around 4:30 pm. This overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway really shows how a moment of peace and quiet is only but a short drive from Boone, NC. I like to visit this area while the weather is still warm and the Parkway is open for whomever wishes to visit. The Blue Ridge Parkway, though likely not the quickest route to any destination, sure is worth the extra gas money. While cruising through some of the most beautiful parts of North Carolina and Virginia, the plethora of breathtaking overlooks entice you to stop what you are doing and quite literally enjoy the view. There is a calm that overtakes you when on the Blue Ridge. What you are seeing in front of you makes you feel so small and distant from the rest of the world. However, when you look to your side you see the handful of other spectators who are likely looking for tranquility.

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was top notch! The facility was very clean and cozy! "

The Highlands at Sugar

The Highlands at Sugar

10/10 Excellent

"Really great stay. Spacious apartment, clean and well-maintained. All the cooking tools and pots/pans we needed (but bring your own ingredients/condiments, like salt/pepper). Hot tub and pool were well heated and not crowded even over the holidays. Easy access to the mountains. Only note is that the fireplace hasn’t worked since the hurricane — totally understandable, but would have been nice to have that on the listing. Absolutely would stay again!"
