First of all, the communication between owner and myself was second to none. Combine the thoroughness and value of response time with the accommodations, made this stay for our family a 5 Star experience!
Loved the house as it was very comfortable and had anything you need to make your stay wonderful. Let’s start with the beds… awesome! Had the same expensive mattress that I have at home! The house also was stocked with paper towels, toilet paper , soaps and towels and bath cloths that you would need with any stay. The kitchen was equipped with all sizes of pots and pans, plates, glasses and cups. And a great grill outside to prepare those steaks or burgers you want to have. The furniture is ver nice and of great quality too. Heating and cooling was easy to balance to all of the rooms and a couple of fireplaces to give you an extra bump of heat if you need it or just want the ambiance. Lastly, the owner has everything labeled so you don’t have to guess which light switch goes to which light, how to control temps, or where things are stored.
And if you have pups, it’s a dream place equipped with bowls, crates, doggie towels etc., Be respectful of the rules so that they will continue to offer this, because ours had a ball.
During our stay we had a snowstorm that “snowed us in” and temporary lost power! With the fireplaces, gas cook tops and grill, we didn’t miss a beat. We used ROKU and logged into the various services and watched movies in front of the fire and prepared an awesome meal.
The location is most convenient to Beech Mountain but Sugar isn’t that far either. We skied both while there. There may be a little more “runs” at Sugar but the location has a nicer look at Beech. Banner Elk which is in the middle of each, had some gray Restaraunt too. (Banner Elk Cafe in Banner Elk and the Brick Oven at Beech were great and the atmosphere was fun!
The snow challenged our travel for the one who didn’t drive a 4 wheel drive so I would recommend driving a 4 wheel drive but we did just give! The 17 deer we saw as we came into the neighborhood welcomed us too!
You’re going to have a great time here!!
