Mountainside house with ski slope access and gas fireplace
Slopesider 14B
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
This slopeside round house has the best ski access on the mountain. You can put your skis on in the living room and ski out the backdoor! A gas fireplace keeps the sunken living room toasty for your return home after a day of shredding fresh powder. The full kitchen awaits you for any feast the family desires, and the dishwasher keeps the clean up easy. Large windows bring in natural light while allowing you to watch the skiers from the warmth of your living room if the wraparound porch is too cold.
There are so many adventures here at Sugar Mountain that you don't have to go far for your activities. Just a few minutes drive can bring you to white water rafting at High Mountain Expeditions, ziplining the treetops at Hawksnest, or walking along the Mile High Swinging Bridge for breathtaking views of the mountains. You can take the whole family out for an educational trip at the Foggy Mountain Gem Mine if you need a break from the Ski Resort right up the street.

Everything was perfect. We loved being right on the ski slope. The house was clean and had everything we needed.

Weekend getaway
We visited as a quick trip for a LMC event. The location was perfect for accessibility. We loved being able to sit and watch the ski slopes. Even though it was summer, it was still fun to watch the cyclists come down the mountain.
We appreciated the starter set of toiletries and cleaning supplies. We didn’t have to buy anything!
The reason for only 3 stars was the smell of mothballs. It was overpowering. We tried opening windows and spraying air freshener but it was too strong.

Great house but 1 feature was a huge problem
The house is cozy, clean and did not have the musty smell as some others stated. It is steps to the slopes, right where Big Birch turns into lower flying mile so our beginner snow boarders and skiers where able to come and go from the house. On the way back to the house they were able to cross over from the little grey lift/green slopes.
We had an issue with our bed and Vacasa sent someone out within hours to fix it.
The big issue for us and the only reason I gave 3 stars was that the main bedroom's bathroom was literally IN the bedroom, toilet, shower, sink and bedroom all part of ONE room. It is not very evident in the photos, click on the virtual tour and you will see it, which I didn't do when I booked. You will also see exposed capped wires to the left of the master bed that could be a problem if you have littles.
Unfortunately that bedroom/bathroom set up will be keeping us from booking here every year.

It was nice!
Overall it was a nice place. We did have problems with the TV in the living room not working and when the jets were turned on in the tub they blew out black gunk. Other than that it was nice. We would stay there again.

Unhappy with entire cabin!
When we arrived on Monday the damp, musty odor was so strong it gave both my grandson and I a horrible headache! The dehumidifier was unplugged when we got there and when I realized it and plugged it in, it read 78% humidity inside the cabin. The carpet and living room furniture was filthy, We left to visit friends and when we returned that evening I tried to turn on the stove to make my grandson some cookies only to find that the stove and oven both did not work! I contacted the Vacasa customer service immediately and they said they would send a message to the manager. I called two more times the next morning only to get the same response which led to nothing! Long story short my friend who lives in Banner Elk had us stay with her after the first sleepless night! So my grandson and I stayed in the cabin a total of one night, we both took one shower and we’re not able to cook any of the food I bought or brought! Worst stay in a VRBO to date! Never renting from Vacassa again and am in the process of trying to get refunded!

Nice stay
Overall a nice stay. Accommodations were clean and pretty much had everything you’d need. A few items didn’t work but hoping that will be resolved for the next stay. Location is great for parkway, local towns, and less touristy spots.

We had a nice stay at Sugar Mountain 14B -
It was very nicely furnished, amenities as expected, clean and well- maintained. We visited after ski season for a short getaway.

Great two bedroom property.
This space was perfect for me and my husband, and my daughter, her husband and their 1 year old. We packed light and drove one vehicle. Glad we did. Definitely only room for one vehicle, just like the website says. No disappointments here.

Great cool circle home
Loved the circle home and the bottom floor was a perfect size for a small family however, the musty wet smell was not good. This property had lots of box fans to help circulate the air but if we had known our sock feet would’ve remained damp the whole time, we would’ve chosen a different property. Owners should invest in a dehumidifier.

Property not as described
Second bedroom was described as twins beds, and it was a double bed. No DVD player as described. The front door lock could not consistently lock the house from the inside, even after visits from two maintenance people. It would be a fine property if theses concerns are addressed.

Great Spot!!
We really enjoyed this unit. It’s compact, but all you need for a weekend on the slopes with the fam. This house helped make a lot of smiles happen this weekend... tons of snow didn’t hurt either. Thanks for having us!!

Great view but very dated unit
The unit is the bottom level of 2 and it has a great view of Sugar Mountain. It was clear that it needs updating or at least a very good cleaning - floors had not been cleaned, furniture was grungy and worn.
I will not be returning.

Lovely, well-kept cabin with one drawback
This cabin is lovely, situated right on the slopes for easy walks and lovely views. It easily accommodated our family of 5, bathrooms were quite nice with plenty of linens. Kitchen was well-outfitted with one significant drawback--only the oven and one burner work on the stove, which makes cooking for a family quite challenging, particularly with trying to avoid eating out during the current pandemic. If this were fixed, it would be 5 stars. We appreciated the books, games, and puzzles provided, but could not get the tvs to work. Perhaps instructions for accessing the many listed options for those of us who aren't tech-savvy would be helpful? Overall, we were very pleased and recommended the location to friends (they have a smaller family and rented the upper unit in the hopes that its stove is fully-functioning). Check-in and check-out were pretty easy. We'd happily stay again if we knew the stove were fixed!
