About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

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.

Family Ski Trip
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.

Great location, tired property
For access to Sugar Mountain Resort activates, the property is great. The home itself, shows lack of owner pride. The home was clean enough but there were dead bugs around baseboards throughout home that can be vacuumed up but seems cleaning crew should do that. There was an adequate amount of furniture but reclining sofas were broken in areas. Beds are very comfortable but on king bed, sheets did not fit over mattress. Home just looks tired and neglected. We enjoyed our stay but for the price, this home does not measure up. Check in/out requires visiting an office in town to pick up and drop off keys. Definitely prefer keypad locks.

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.

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!
