Furnished, short term rentals allowed, and the Sugar Mountain shuttle stops right at the driveway. Seller is ready to make a deal. Two bedrooms, two and a half baths, about 1,040 square feet at the entrance to Grouse Moor. It’s running as a vacation rental now and comes fully furnished, so you can keep the bookings going or keep the whole place to yourself. The ground floor holds the kitchen, living area, laundry, and a half bath, with a walkout balcony off the main space. Tongue and groove ceilings, wood accents, and a stone electric fireplace give the room some character. The kitchen picked up stainless steel appliances in 2021 and opens right into the living and dining area, so whoever’s cooking isn’t stuck off by themselves. Both bedrooms and both full baths are up the stairs, and the upstairs balcony looks out at Sugar Mountain. Central heat and air throughout, plus good storage. That shuttle stop at the driveway does more work than it sounds like. No scraping a windshield, no hunting for parking, no driving a mountain road after snow falls. You walk out and go. Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and Banner Elk are minutes away. Skiing, tubing, hiking, golf, mountain biking, and fall lift rides give guests something to come back for in every season.
