Cabin in Watauga County
5 out of 5 average rating, 123 reviewsOpen! Roads Clear! Mountain cabin escape w/HOT TUB
Our family was looking for something with access to Boone but still affordable and enough to do at the cabin that we didn't really have to leave. The pictures for this place were very accurate and I would say it exceeded what we expected based on what we saw in the description! The playroom downstairs has more than the ping pong table and kept the kids very busy. The beds were all super cozy and had plenty of pillows. We had brought extra pillows and blankets, which we always enjoy doing. The hot tub was great. And the kitchen was very well stocked and even had a double oven to make our Thanksgiving weekend easy. Thank you to the host, Lauren, who checked in often and felt available. We would love to come back!

Cabin in Burnsville
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 115 reviewsGalax Glade- Tiny Cabin Nestled Beside a Creek
The nature surrounding the cabin is pure magic, with a gentle creek running right outside the cabin and beautiful nature walks/trails just outside as well. The cabin itself was rustic and cozy,--the pictures don't do it justice! This particular cabin (Galax Glade) was a little difficult to heat in the winter, but a extra space heater is provided to compensate, and did the job well. Would absolute stay again!
Cabin in Newland
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 179 reviewsSwimming, Hiking, S’mores making Family Adventure
I was actually in the area taking care of business for our house that was flooded near by. It was nice to have a homey environment to come back to at the end of a long day of dealing with that. Had everything I needed and more. Much appreciated!
Cabin in Vilas
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 195 reviewsPrivate Cabin Nestled on 15 acres in the Woods
Exactly what we were looking for! Peaceful, very private, perfect location - close to Boone to visit our daughter, but far enough to get out of the chaos. It is what we dream of owning one day. We can’t wait to come and book again!

Cabin in Banner Elk
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 293 reviewsCabin w/Firepit, Hot Tub, Wifi, Grill, Gametable
My husband and I stayed here for a friends wedding that was in the area. The home is exactly as listed. Much more house than just the two of us really needed, but it was wonderful to have two bathrooms for getting ready. The space is very clean and tidy. I loved that our pets were welcome as well! It was nice to see deer in the front yard and be remote, but just a 15 min drive to resturants ans shops. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Cabin in Beech Mountain
5 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviewsSchool House
First, the hosts are very communicative and hospitable! If you have a question regarding Beech Mtn, I’m confident they can help you. They made sure we had everything we needed. Secondly, the location was perfect for us (I had a 3, 5, and 6 yo plus 2 adult newbie skiiers). *** It’s right at the top of the new learner slope magic carpet ride***. So we could ski-in ski-out all day long. Note that they do not check lift tickets on magic carpet. The chalet itself is very warm and homey. Nothing over the top, but everything you need to be cozy on your trip. It’s a loved home that the owners use with their family, so you’ll find toys aplenty, board games, plus darts and foosball. I cooked a few meals in the kitchen and found everything I needed. Lastly, the fireplace is awesome! It’s exactly what you imagine wanting to cozy up to when coming off the slope. Firewood is on-site. Bring a box of fatwood (Ace Hardware) to spark up fire if needed. The kids did not want to leave!

Your guide to Sugar Mountain
Introduction to Sugar Mountain
Ski destinations in the American South are few and far between, thanks to mild climate and lower elevations, which is why Sugar Mountain is a diamond in the rough, pulling ski enthusiasts from surrounding states to its powdery slopes each winter. Perched high in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Sugar Mountain’s 21 trails are aimed mostly at beginners and intermediates and offer fun add-ons such as night skiing. The entire mountain is equipped with snow-making capabilities, meaning that even in warmer winters with little snowfall, you’ll still find freshly groomed runs. Sugar Mountain has more than just skiing and snowboarding, though. It’s also home to a 10,000-square-foot outdoor ice skating rink and a six-lane tubing park. The same terrain that makes Sugar Mountain a hit in winter months becomes a wonderland for adrenaline junkies who head for the trails by foot or bike when the snow melts.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Sugar Mountain
A rare four-seasons destination, Sugar Mountain is best known for its skiing and snowboarding in winter months, making that season the most popular for booking one of the area’s cabins. But if you visit during summer, expect extremely pleasant temperatures: it’s not too hot, thanks to the 5,300-foot altitude, and there’s a plethora of hiking and mountain biking options. Fall can be mild and alive with color, with peak foliage in the Blue Ridge Mountains usually hitting in October. Christmas season is the busiest time on the slopes, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Presidents’ Day weekends attract big crowds as well. Fourth of July features the Summit Crawl, a competitive foot race to the top of the mountain, while Sugar Mountain turns into Little Bavaria for the weekend-long Oktoberfest.
Top things to do in Sugar Mountain
Grandfather Mountain
In nearby Linville, Grandfather Mountain looms large as one of the tallest peaks in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s also dotted with hiking trails — but just keep your eyes peeled for black bears, cougars, elk, and other wild animals with whom you may share the path. If you really want to get your heart pumping, walk across the Mile High Swinging Bridge for epic 360-degree views.
Linville Falls
This area of the Blue Ridge is peppered with waterfalls, like Crab Orchard, Elk River, and Otter, but perhaps the best-known is Linville Falls at Milepost 316.4 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Take your pick of trails that will lead you past lookouts along the way, as well as loop you to the top of the impressive 90-foot waterfall.
Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster
The mountain range’s first alpine coaster will test your wits (and your stomach) as you zip around loops on carts at 27 miles per hour.
