Modern cabin nestled in the trees - the Sugar cube
Our 3BR, 2BA house is an escape from city life, giving you the impression that you're secluded in the woods without sacrificing convenience. A few of our favorites about living here: 1. Waking up to fresh mountain air 2. Relaxing to music on the record player 3. Nature views from any window (lush summer leaves, colorful fall foliage, winter mountain view) 4. Perfect weather days on both the front & back porches with a good drink and the grill 5. Cozying up with the wood stove on cold days.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Great property to mount missions in the Boone/Sugar Mountain area. Strongly recommend watching leaves change from the front porch.

Lovely Home, Highly Recommend
We have stayed at a number of houses over the years. The house was done fabulously, cleanliness impeccable, kitchen well stocked. The pillows and mattresses on the beds were very comfortable and allowed for good nights' sleep!
We also appreciated that toiletry items (soaps, shampoo, TP, etc.) were provided. Finally, the home owners provided a guide book that was very thorough!
The location was excellent. In a private community but only minutes from groceries, etc.
We hope we can go in the winter. The house and the proximity to the ski slopes has us won over.
