About this property
Location! Walk to ski lodge! Includes owner's ski locker in ski lodge!
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. We want you to have a pleasant visit We provide free WIFI and a wireless printer in the living room (but you should bring paper). Children are always welcome, so bring them and build family memories. Each bedroom has extra blankets and pillows because you never know when the next snowfall might occur. We have the best, friendliest property manager in Sugar Mountain to provide the cleanest possible house and to respond to your requests. We do our best to provide the best, cleanest house possible, so here are our house rules. No smoking of any kind is allowed anytime, anywhere in the house or on the decks. We want all our guests to enjoy a smoke-free and odor-free visit. No pets are allowed. We love pets, but unfortunately some of them bring fleas or soil the carpets. We do not allow large groups, events, receptions, or parties of any kind. This is not a beat-up party house! Our property manager has a life also, so no check-in's Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day. All guests are required to sign their rental agreement within 7 days of booking.

Property was in close proximity to the winter activities (skiing, sledding, ice skating). We enjoyed the cozy fireplace and the deer that frequented the front yard. Not crazy about the carpet. It was nice to have a full size kitchen and a washer/dryer.

The home is meticulously maintained and the walls appear to have been recently painted. The wall to wall carpeting feels great, the kitchen well appointed, the master bed very comfortable and the garage makes coming home in the rain much appreciated. The RRR staff responded quickly and professionally. The closeness to amenities makes planning activities a breeze.

The house was clean, warm and comfortable. The only modest issue was arriving during a snow fall. The mailbox was knocked down and we couldn’t see the number. It made for some back and forth type looking. Please consider a good sturdy house number for future guests. Other than that, the house was great.

We really loved the garage to park the car plus the very well equipped kitchen and many other amenities. The beds are are wonderful and I appreciated the ceiling fan.There are two covered patios with one having a gas fire pit contraption (great for end of day reflections upon this special place in Sugar Mountain).
Wonderful weekend on Sugar Mountain. Great property at a very reasonable price. Everything you need is provided which allows you to just kick back and enjoy.
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!

We didn't know what to expect from this rental but upon arrival we knew we stumbled onto something great! Our check-in was flawless and the person at the desk provided us with a ton of information with a smile, so pleasant. I took my wife, son and 78/79 yr old parents to an immaculate home with all the trimmings. They raved about the comfortable bedrooms, immaculate bathrooms and how the kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. The gas grill was spotless and had all the tools. There was also a spare, full tank of propane JIC. We loved sitting on the patio with the gas fire-pit looking at the leaves and sipping a drink. Seeing deer and turkey was icing on the cake. We are hooked and will definately be back!

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were 2 adults with our 17 and 20 year old kids. There was plenty of space and the house was very comfortable. The house is even prettier in person than in the photos. We are so glad we rented directly from Resort Real Estate. They are super friendly and less expensive than the well-known online platforms. The house was squeaky clean upon check in. Very well stocked kitchen with high-end utensils and pans and everything you could need. The location is very close to Sugar Mountain for skiing. It's walkable to the slopes but it would be tough to walk uphill after skiing all day. It is a perfect house for a ski vacation. One of the best features of this house is the included ski locker in the members area. We all agreed that having a locker made this trip so much better. We will certainly stay here again and I recommend 100%. 5 Stars just doesn't seem enough.

The house was a close to perfect as can get! More amenties than expected. Love the fire table in mornings with coffee and evening with wine. Location was great to all area mountains. Quiet neighborhood and great view. Comfortable beds, good internet. Everything worked well. Couldn't be happier with this rental. I would definitely come back to this house!!!
We found bugs on one of the bedroom's bed,
And the main shower bedroom had mold.
The place is nice and everything else but we didn’t get the help we expected .
It seems that they didn’t care, sorry to say!!

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.

Clean and cozy mountain house, well equipped for a family getaway. Great view of grandfather mountain. The house had everything we were looking for and then some. Comfortable beds, functional fireplace, fire pit with great patio furniture, gas grill and garage. All appliances worked properly. Driveway is a bit tricky especially with ice present as when we arrived. There is an alternate way to access the house if you go past the main driveway and take two left turns you can turn back on the driveway just before the house. It’s a much better way to come and go. Resort traffic can be a factor for coming and going. One afternoon it was so bad we turned around and went shopping for about an hour to allow it to die down. A resort staff member told us during our trip that they where busier than ever, even for a holiday, so that was likely the cause for traffic. Mostly we had no issue with traffic. We enjoyed this property and would stay here again.

Several bugs in the home both dead and living. Poor water pressure in shower heads. Patios and patio furniture were covered in yard debris and cobwebs- required cleaning before use. Master bath shower door will not close properly. The living sofa was covered in white dog hair and the sofa has lost its support on both end seats. A nice home but it is not being kept up.

The house was adequately furnished and comfortable. Mr. J. Anderson was very accommodating and helpful.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
