About this property

Great Location ! Private house -walk to skiing, golf, ice skating & tubing.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Gorgeous private house.

Walk or Ride to Sugar Mountain Ski Lodge:
You can WALK downhill 700 yards to Sugar Mountain Ski Lodge in just 5 minutes (½ downhill, ½ flat with
just a 200 foot elevation change). The return walk is ½ uphill and takes a little longer. Tubing and ice
skating are located near the ski lodge. Since it is best to walk back in hiking or snow boots, you can use
our Members Ski Locker in the Ski Lodge to store your skis and boots overnight.
Or you can RIDE the complimentary ski shuttle in winter from the bus stop that is only 700 feet from our
house.
After skiing, plan on viewing Grandfather Mountain (and leaf changes in Fall) from the front deck while
sitting around the firepit. If there is new snow, you can watch your children sled on the hill in front of the
house.
To arrive, drive just past the Ski Lodge, turn right at Glenwood Lane, which becomes Ridgeview Road. We
are located near the end of extremely quiet Ridgeview Road on a ½ acre lot with loads of privacy and a
great view. The driveway can be icy in winter, so please bring tire chains if there has been new snow.
House Details:
Our comfortable single-level house has three large bedrooms, two bathrooms and no stairs or steps.
Seven people can sleep comfortably in beds (no one must use a sofa bed!). The entire house has been
professionally decorated without any of our personal do-dads. This house will feel like your home away
from home, not our home that you are just visiting.
The living area has a large, vaulted ceiling living room with a remote-controlled gas log fireplace, a new
comfortable reclining sectional sofa, 42” TV, free Wifi, and is cooled by a ceiling fan. The game table is
stocked with picture puzzles and board games.
There is a separate foyer and dining room with an eight-person dining table.
The modern kitchen is fully stocked with all the amenities: dishwasher, refrigerator, range/oven, microwave
oven, coffee pot, toaster, crockpot, plus new dishware, silverware, utensils, and pots and pans. All
appliances are stainless steel and were replaced in the summer of 2023.
There is also a separate breakfast area with a four-person breakfast table and chairs.

To keep you warm, there is a new central heating system.
After skiing, you can relax outdoors on the large, covered deck with four comfortable chairs, a firepit table
and a great view of Grandfather Mountain. It’s a great place to sit while cooking at the barbecue. Or you
can retreat to a second covered deck with a table and four chairs for alfresco dining.
There is an attached two-car garage to keep your car snow-free plus there is plenty of outside parking. The
laundry room has a washer and dryer to give you dry clothes for the next day on the slopes.
The floor plan gives everyone plenty of privacy at night because the bedrooms are not all bunched
together.
The spacious King suite has a new king-size bed with a new plush mattress, a vaulted ceiling, a large walk-
in closet, and a wall-mounted TV. The oversized bathroom has a Jacuzzi jetted tub, a separate shower, a
large lavatory counter and a hidden toilet. This bedroom is separated from the Queen bedroom by the
kitchen for privacy.
The Queen bedroom has a new queen-size bed with a new plush mattress, a smaller walk-in closet, and
direct access to the second bathroom. This normal-sized bathroom has a tub/shower, single lavatory, and
toilet. This bedroom is separated from the Bunk bedroom by the second bathroom for privacy.
The Bunk bedroom has a new Spruce bunk/trundle bed with three new mattresses, a smaller walk-in
closet, and a small antique wood desk and chair that can be used for computer work.
We want you to have a pleasant visit
 We provide free WIFI and a wireless printer in the living room (but you should bring paper).
 Children are always welcome, so bring them and build family memories.
 Each bedroom has extra blankets and pillows because you never know when the next snowfall might
occur.
 We have the best, friendliest property manager in Sugar Mountain to provide the cleanest possible
house and to respond to your requests.
We do our best to provide the best, cleanest house possible, so here are our house rules.
 No smoking of any kind is allowed anytime, anywhere in the house or on the decks. We want all our
guests to enjoy a smoke-free and odor-free visit.
 No pets are allowed. We love pets, but unfortunately some of them bring fleas or soil the carpets.
 We do not allow large groups, events, receptions, or parties of any kind. This is not a beat-up party
house!
 Our property manager has a life also, so no check-in's Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day.

Great for a ski trip

Property was in close proximity to the winter activities (skiing, sledding, ice skating). We enjoyed the cozy fireplace and the deer that frequented the front yard. Not crazy about the carpet. It was nice to have a full size kitchen and a washer/dryer.

A warm comfortable stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean, warm and comfortable. The only modest issue was arriving during a snow fall. The mailbox was knocked down and we couldn’t see the number. It made for some back and forth type looking. Please consider a good sturdy house number for future guests. Other than that, the house was great.

Peaceful and Relaxing Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the patio enjoying the pretty view. We saw lots of wildlife! Hummingbirds, rabbits, deer, and more. My favorite was a set of triplet fawns that would come and play in the front yard with each other! So beautiful!

Bugs everywhere

For what we paid, you would not expect to walk in to spiders and crickets throughout the house. We spent the first couple of hours of our first night cleaning up dead spiders and crickets and getting rid of the ones that were still alive. We tried contacting the rental agency where we picked up the keys and left 2 voicemails but did not receive a call back until 2 days later, which was after we checked out.

Cozy mountain retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Clean and cozy mountain house, well equipped for a family getaway. Great view of grandfather mountain. The house had everything we were looking for and then some. Comfortable beds, functional fireplace, fire pit with great patio furniture, gas grill and garage. All appliances worked properly. Driveway is a bit tricky especially with ice present as when we arrived. There is an alternate way to access the house if you go past the main driveway and take two left turns you can turn back on the driveway just before the house. It’s a much better way to come and go. Resort traffic can be a factor for coming and going. One afternoon it was so bad we turned around and went shopping for about an hour to allow it to die down. A resort staff member told us during our trip that they where busier than ever, even for a holiday, so that was likely the cause for traffic. Mostly we had no issue with traffic. We enjoyed this property and would stay here again.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Several bugs in the home both dead and living. Poor water pressure in shower heads. Patios and patio furniture were covered in yard debris and cobwebs- required cleaning before use. Master bath shower door will not close properly. The living sofa was covered in white dog hair and the sofa has lost its support on both end seats. A nice home but it is not being kept up.

Great weekend stay

We had a great stay at Ridgeview. It was right up the mountain from Sugar Mountain ski lodge which was very convenient when taking two young kids skiing for the first time. We had plenty of room at the house with 4 adults and 2 kids. Definitely would recommend if you are wanting to stay close to Sugar Mountain.

A perfect little ski weekend

The house was perfectly suitable for our family of 6. The fireplace was my husband's absolute favorite feature. The ease in how they have it set up to be operated was a delight. We enjoyed everything about this home, including the proximity to the slopes. Like 2 minutes down a mountain and you're there. Easy drop offs for our kids. We loved it and we will definitely stay here again when we come back to ski.

Enjoyable stay

My family stayed in this perfect house in Sugar Mountain Resort. There were six of us- 2 adults, two college kids and two 16 yo. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds comfy and the living room sectional was the perfect place to relax after a fun day of skiing. The home wasn't as close to the lodge as I was hoping, but it was an easy drive up and down to shuttle the kids to the slopes. It was also great to have the garage to store all of our ski equipment. We would definitely stay here again.

Annual Christmas vacation

The house is very well located and is very clean. A very very short drive to Sugar Mountain ski resort which is ideal. The only complaint I have, insufficient hot water, the house is 90% carpeting which is not friendly when you’re watching TV you can’t eat in the living room and the dining room is also carpeted. The guest bedroom the bed is very very uncomfortable. For me one of the worst issues was the owners will not let you get UPS deliveries to the house during Christmas which is in my opinion ridiculous. Many of my grandchildren’s presence cannot be received and for that I will not stay there again.

Loved the property, the location was great it was inside the Sugar Mountain ski entrance. We had a family of friendly deer in the yard every morning. Only complaint was my own fault, I left my ring and it wasn’t found. Overall would definitely recommend.
