Welcome to Sugar Mountain Escape
Perched near the top of Sugar Mountain at almost 5,000 feet, Sugar Mountain Escape delivers unobstructed, year-round mountain views from a private hot tub, three separate decks, and a wood-burning fire pit tucked into the trees. Inside, vaulted wood ceilings, two separate living rooms, and a lower-level pool table give a group of up to 8 room to spread out and settle in — and with the Sugar Mountain Ski Resort shuttle stopping right at the door, the slopes are minutes away no matter how the snow looks on the driveway.

Good to Know
• The driveway is steep and gravel. All-wheel or 4-wheel drive is strongly recommended; if you don't have one, park toward the top of the driveway rather than the bottom. Rear-wheel-drive vehicles should back in and park near the top; front-wheel-drive vehicles should pull in facing downhill, also near the top.
• At this elevation, air conditioning is rarely needed. We provide a few portable units that can cool a large room or area on warmer days.
• The living room's stone fireplace is decorative and not available for guest use.
• The garage is reserved for the owner's storage and is not accessible to guests.
