About this property

Spacious 6BR | Hot Tub, Fire Place & Pitt | Pet Friendly | Ski Sugar next door

  • Gather your multi-generational family at The Sugar Nest, a spacious 6-bedroom mountain lodge designed for connection and high-elevation adventure. Located directly on Sugar Mountain, you are just minutes from the slopes and situated near the free winter shuttle route. Whether you’re chasing winter powder or escaping the summer heat, this pet-friendly retreat—featuring a bubbling hot tub and a massive wraparound deck—is your robust home away from home.



    TOP HIGHLIGHTS

    • Minutes to Ski Sugar / Sugar Mountain Resort

    • Hot tub + wraparound deck + fire pit + Weber Summit grill

    • 6BR with a clear sleeping layout (great for large families)

    • Fast Wi-Fi for work + streaming

    • Easy, ample parking (easier than most mountain homes)

    • Pet-friendly + kid-ready (pack ’n play, games)



    THE SPACE

    Finding a rental that comfortably fits 16 guests without “cramped condo” vibes is a challenge on the mountain. We designed The Sugar Nest to be the solution. We aren’t a fragile “museum” home; we are a renovated, fully equipped lodge built for families, pets, and mountain memories.



    • SOCIAL LAYOUT: The main level is open-concept, ensuring the cook is always part of the conversation in our fully stocked kitchen.

    • TWO SLEEPING LEVELS: With two distinct sleeping areas, early-rising kids and night-owl adults can coexist peacefully.

    • OUTDOOR LIVING: A wraparound deck with a Weber Summit grill, a fire pit for s’mores, and a private hot tub for post-slope/post-hike recovery.



    SLEEPING SETUP (Where Everyone Lands)

    • MAIN LEVEL: 2 bedrooms, each with a Queen bed. Perfect for grandparents.

    • UPPER LEVEL: 1 Primary Suite (King Bed) + 3 additional Queen bedrooms.

    • BONUS SPACE: 2 Queen pull-out sofas in the living room for maximum flexibility.



    WHY “THE SUGAR NEST” WINS

    • THE PARKING PERK: Unlike steep mountain driveways, we offer ample, flatter (for the mountain) parking for multiple vehicles (approx. 5 to 8, depending on size).

    • THE “SUGAR BUS” (WINTER BONUS): Near the Grouse Moor Drive winter shuttle route (weekends/holidays).



    MOUNTAIN REALITY CHECK (Please Read)

    We want your stay to be flawless, so here are a few helpful heads-ups:

    • WINTER TRAVEL (Nov–Mar): AWD/4WD or chains are highly recommended. We are at 4,500+ feet; weather changes fast.

    • SECURITY: Exterior camera at the front door entry points only. No indoor cameras.



    GUEST ACCESS

    You have full private access to the entire home and property. Self check-in is easy via an electronic keypad; your unique door code is sent 72 hours before arrival, along with instructions and the home's specific address.



    OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

    Before booking, please read the house rules (including pet guidelines).

    Take a look at the neighborhood details further down in the listing—the cabin is in a great, central location with much to offer year-round.

    Feel free to contact us with any additional questions or concerns.

The house was wonderful set up really well for a larger group had everything we needed in the kitchen. A hot tub was great for the kids. We use the fire pit they even supplied wood for the fire. It was just an ideal place to stay. There are like Woodland creatures all around. It was just overall wonderful day. We would love to come back if we were in the area again.

Amazing Home

This home was cozy and offered all we needed. The renovated space was beautiful. Weather was not in our favor, so we did not get to utilize the outdoor space, but inside offered plenty of room for our group.

Great Place, and Great Location

My son and I came for the day to visit Sugar Mountain and do some skiing. We are very olease with this hone. Very inviting and comfortable. It is also very clean. What a great way to relax in the Jacuzzi after a full day of skiing. Only downside is that the fireplace did not work upon our visit.Hoping to come back next time and experience the full effect of "Cozy", with a working fireplace.Sincerely,CJB

The house was very well equipped and met all our needs. Very good communications with William. He made sure that every that everything was okay.. Very good location to attractions and activities in the area. We were there to go to the Scottish games at Grandfather Mountain. The shuttle service was just at the bottom of the mountain and couldn’t be easier.
