1st in Sugar

I must admit that we very worried about our booking after reading the review from Jan 15. I am happy to report, however, that our experience could not have been more different than theirs. We LOVED First in Sugar!! It was one of the best rentals we've had. We had 12 guests for a birthday weekend and the house was perfect. The kitchen was so well stocked, there was an extra table and chairs, it was warm and cozy with the fireplace, and the beds were comfortable. We don't have little people, but there were many amenities that would have been nice for families with small children. We used the outdoor fire pit, hot tub and tubing was only 15 away. Communication with the rental company was great-before we arrived, during our stay, and afterwards. One thing I will mention is that they're not messing around with the description of a 4wd needed for the driveway. It snowed on our way in and we had a heard time getting up the driveway even with 4wd! We were plowed out the next morning by a friendly, accommodating landscape company, which made it easier to get up and down, but would still be very difficult without 4wd. We would definitely rent this house again and think that you should too! 10/10!

We loved this place?? It's perfect for friends and family. The house is cosy with amenities and in excellent location, 10 min away from Ski resort, parks and winyard! Definitely must visit.

The only regret we had in renting this home was we didn't book a longer stay. There were 4 generations on this trip and the home was comfortable for all. The spectacular view, the visiting deer, the game room, and the hot tub made getaway extra special. We hope to rent again.

We absolutely loved sitting at the fire pit while enjoying the gorgeous view of grandfather mountain. All the beds were comfortable and the house well stocked with necessary supplies. The two 6-year-olds love the game room and even though it rained off and on there were board games to play, gas fire pit and hot tub on the deck to enjoy. The location was great with access to several wineries, some nice restaurants, live music, fun hikes with waterfalls and Tweetsie for the kids. Great family experience.!! Great rental agent and hosts - thank you!!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at your mountain cabin. It was very delicate and it felt like home away from home. Beautiful views very delightful weather for the middle of summer close to all the amenities and absolutely enjoyed the organization of the entire home inside and out. We highly recommend your cabin to future guests ! Thx

The house is very clean and welcoming and perfect for a family getaway. We absolutely loved the location as it's very convenient to the grocery store, family friendly activities and the view is amazing. All of the bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable. We also really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and the game room. Thank you for the wonderful family trip memories!

Beautiful setting and house was clean and comfortable. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner here and kitchen was well equipped. Not enough snow for Sugar Mt to open so didn't get to snowboard, but enjoyed the hot tub! Saw deer every morning coming down the mountain behind the house while eating breakfast. A great week!

Awesome

We spent most of Thanksgiving week at 1st at Sugar and could not have been more pleased with the property. It's a beautiful and well stocked house and was very clean. You are looking right at Grandfather Mt. for incredible views. Our 10 year old grandson loved the game room and hot tub! That came in handy when the ski slopes postponed opening for a week. It's a spacious house and we cooked not only Thanksgiving dinner there, but most of our meals all week. We were very comfortable and highly recommend this house. Appreciated constant communication with Blue Ridge Rentals making sure everything was perfect.

We had a great time at 1st in Sugar. The property was great and well located. We sold our home in Eagles Nest a year ago so it was great getting back to Banner Elk. Sugar Mountain is so easy and centrally located its a great place for first timers to Banner Elk.
