On Sugar Mountain Ski/Hike/Bike, Hot tub, fire pit
Welcome to the Sugar Nest, a cozy 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom cabin that is the perfect post-adventure retreat for a multi-generational family or group. It is immersed in a scenic mountain setting and conveniently located minutes from the slopes of Sugar Mountain Resort, with close access to everything the area offers. Come in the spring for the perfect temperatures while enjoying a cup of coffee or wine on our large wrap-around patio.
The entire property is newly renovated! Nestled in the lush trees, it features a large wrap-around deck with a hot tub, a giant Weber grill, and dining, lounging, and sitting areas. Plenty of Adirondack chairs circling the fire pit, and many outdoor games keep everyone entertained.
The home's inside features an open living area connected to the fully stocked kitchen and dining room for great entertainment. Expansive six bedrooms allow guests to retreat to their private spaces, and two queen pull-out couches for additional sleeping arrangements when needed!
As the old saying goes, mi casa e su casa!
Our guests are welcome to use all parts of the property. There are no shared spaces with other properties.
We have an electronic keypad for easy access to the home; you will receive the code up to 48 hours before your arrival.
While the house sits on a relatively flat surface, roads leading to it can be windy and narrow.
We are located on the mountain, and between November and March, a Four-Wheel-Drive or all-wheel-drive car or tire chains are highly recommended.
Refunds will not be issued due to inclement weather. Please make sure to purchase travel insurance to avoid disappointment.
One of the perks of being on Sugar Mountain is how close we are to the Sugar Mountain Resort. For a regular driver, you can be there in just about 7-8 minutes. Or if you drive like me, it's more like 5-6 minutes but comes with an additional few grey hairs!

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.

House was perfect.
I cannot say anything bad about this rental! It’s was perfect! We didn’t spend a lot of time there because we were out having adventures but it was a perfect place for our crew! This was my first time VRBO and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Will stay here again!

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
