Great stay in a great location!

Very nice cottage home with lots of space in a great location close to everything! Great Mountain View’s. Nicely decorated throughout the home & we appreciate the added small items just in case we might have forgotten something. The pool table was also fun! We had a great stay here on a trip to take our granddaughter snowboarding @Sugar & our doodle had fun playing in her first snow. Thank you to Kevin for the quick response when I had a question! Everything was great & I have No complains!

"Sugar on the Rocks" was sweet!

The house and views were beautiful, and the 4 bedroom space with pool table and big screen TV were perfect for our multigenerational family vacation.

Great house for large family

My family and I really enjoyed our stay! We especially enjoyed the hot tub, decks, and pool table. The kitchen was spacious, and the bedrooms were cozy. This house was perfect size for our family of 7 adults and 3 kids. We also liked the location especially because Banner Elk was just a short drive away. We would stay here again!

Cozy and Spacious

We had a great time during our stay. House is very spacious and location is great! The only downside we experience was having to wash some of the sheets ourselves as they were dirty when we arrived. Property manager issued a refund for the inconvenience so that was nice. Having a washer and dryer was a good thing! They should also replace some of the shower liners. They are very old and dirty.

Family Get-a-way Trip

Place was clean, plenty of kitchen utensils, view was nice, great communication with Kevin and no major issues at all. We didn’t really use the pool table and hot tub hardly at all but those were nice house adds. We did use the fire table on deck and the outdoor fire pit. Great family time. We would stay here again.

Perfect getaway

House was spacious and well maintained. Kids loved the pool table and fire pit. The view was gorgeous. The master bedroom bed was amazing as well. We have a big family (10 in all) and so many times homes that advertise their ability to house a lot of people have the bed space but lack the other essentials in the kitchen or dining areas, but this place has it all. We were very happy with this home.

Pleasant Stay

Arrived on a Monday and left that Friday morning. Originally planned to leave Thursday but enjoyed our time there so much we decided to stay another night. Luckily we were able to do that on such short notice. Pool table, hot tub, Nespresso, Keurig were all put to good use. Many books, games and other things there on hand to enjoy. Highly recommend.

Well apportioned and excellent location

Sugar on the Rocks was perfect for our family of 5 adults and 1 18-month-old. This house was the best stocked rental we have ever experienced. The house is tricky to find when arriving (Google Maps couldn't locate it and Apple Maps missed the driveway). We were so close to Ski Sugar that the truck hardly warmed up before we were parking at the slopes.

A slice of heaven~

The property was better than we expected! Nestled in the mountains with an awesome view. We had 7 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us. It is centrally located so it was easy to enjoy the local sites and parks. I can't say enough about the property manager Kevin! He was in contact with me 2 days prior to our arrival and continued to check in while we were there. We had an issue with the hot tub which Kevin quickly resolved and had it up and running in no time. Thank you Kevin!

Unable to shower. Terrible instructions

Left 6 days early and demand credit for unused day. No instructions on car turn-around. Figured out after backing down a dangerous narrow driveway. Control for fan in living room. Went to Lowes to replace battery. No striations to access eeflex etc Could show safety issue.
