Description Description

Last minute discount of 20% for Thanksgiving in place. Bring the family and save!

JUST 3 MILES TO THE SLOPES AND TRAILS from this luxury Sugar Mountain home with stunning views across the mountains, easily enjoyed from the deck or through the large windows throughout the home.  The epitome of a true escape, with pinball machine, video arcade, roast s’mores and hotdogs at the fire pit on a clear night, soak in the hot tub while gazing at the view, or play a game of pool in the great room while the chef prepares a gourmet dinner.  Best of all, it is a very short drive to the slopes of Sugar Mountain, and is just minutes from their golf course and tennis courts.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Main level: Master with king and private bath with walk in tiled shower and soaking tub; second bedroom with queen and private bath with walk in tiled shower
Lower level: Third bedroom with king, third full bath, fourth bedroom with twin and double (bunk)

When considering your next Sugar Mountain rental and you find Heart Rock Lodge, ask yourself the following question: Which do you want most- a custom built luxury home with stunning long range views across the mountains, incredible furnishings, gourmet kitchen, fine lines and the lap of luxury; OR a fun-filled house with pool table, pinball machine, sixty game video arcade and lots more to keep your children and teens entertained so you can enjoy your vacation? If you choose both, then Heart Rock Lodge is the perfect house for you - the perfect family vacation rental!

This exquisite house with the best of everything will keep you marveling as you enjoy the custom touches throughout, such as 8-inch solid locust staircase beams, stacked stone fireplace and kitchen island, marble countertops, cypress ceilings, Travertine marble in all bathrooms, stainless steel appliances and an all glass front looking out on miles and miles of long range mountain views. In fact, almost every room in Heart Rock Lodge offers a stunning view - on a clear day, you can even spy the Swinging Bridge atop Grandfather Mountain!

The four bedrooms, which offer two kings, one queen, and a log bunk bed with full and twin, this home will comfortably sleep up to nine. There is a master on the main level with walk-in shower and separate soaking tub in a beautiful Travertine tiled spacious bath. A second bedroom with queen bed and private bath with walk in shower also has a view of the mountains, while the lower level has the other two spacious bedrooms. First, a second master with king and view from the private doors out onto the lower deck; third full bath with marble countertops and flooring and combination tub with shower; and the kid’s bedroom, which sleeps up to three with the unique log bunk and also a great view.

The downstairs family room has a large screen TV, private bar, pinball machine, table-style video arcade with sixty games, lots of board games and a gas fireplace not to mention its own deck to admire the view and access the hot tub.

The living room upstairs has a large wood burning fireplace in a spacious great room with pool table, all glass front and open kitchen for lots of family gatherings.

Fun family vacations especially for teens are difficult to keep everyone happy. Heart Rock Lodge takes care of that for you by offering a large basketball court, zip line for younger children, firepit with log seating, obstacle bridges for races, and inside there is a real pinball machine, an electronic arcade with 60 games, and a Hickory pool table for kids and adults. On the lower deck is a large hot tub for relaxing after a long day of skiing or hiking. There are lots of nearby trails to explore, and you can walk to the top of the slopes. All of this without leaving the neighborhood but nearby there are loads of adventurous activities for entertainment. We would love to help fill your itinerary with caving, hiking, skiing, rafting, fly fishing, canoeing, rock climbing, bird watching, wildlife viewing, and incredible restaurants and local attractions. Heart Rock Lodge is where your vacation will Rock!!

Heart Rock Lodge has paved access all the way to the door.

Our family of 4 enjoyed our time at Heart Rock Lodge! The home was beautiful and spacious with gorgeous views from the back porches. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for home cooked meals while there. We enjoyed the pool table, gaming table and hot tub! The home is in a perfect location so close to Grandfather Mountain and the Wilderness Run Alpine Rollercoaster which my entire family really enjoyed! It also wasn't too long of a drive (35 minutes) to Linville Caverns & the gorgeous Linville Falls. We had a wonderful time here!

Awesome for a group vacation
House had great views! Close to the slopes and there is a plaza right up the road with a grocery store as well as pizza place. This is great for a group of adults who dont want to share rooms. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to whip up a family dinner. Hot tub and pool table were both a hit!

Perfect mountain house
This place was better than expected. The pictures don't do it justice. Everything was well appointed and they thought of so many details. The location is amazing, close to the slopes and food options. The lot is pretty private compared to neighboring homes (though don't expect wilderness! It's very suburban). We'll definitely be returning.

Amazing views
This is an amazing house on top of Sugar Mountain, with gorgeous views of Grandfather and Blue Ridge Mountains. The layout of the house was perfect for our large family. The kitchen was very well appointed with everything needed for gourmet meals. Our family has very much enjoyed the hot tub, the fire pit and the games - especially the pool table! We had a wonderful time in this house!

Gorgeous property high on the mountain
We rented for a snow trip and birthday celebration. We did get a lot of snow so be sure to have proper gear and vehicles. Rental staff are awesome and let us stay a little bit later to avoid driving down the mountain in inclement weather. Hot tub was great, furniture comfortable, and well appointed kitchen. Close to shopping and skiing resorts! Thanks for a great stay!

We loved this house! It was spotless. The bed linens were very high quality and we appreciated the ample supply of towels and washcloths. The kitchen was very well stocked with very nice pots and pans. We all loved the video game (Ms Pac Man!) and pinball machine. But the best part of this house are the views from the back deck. Absolutely breathtaking...we would definitely stay here again.

LOCATION AND HOUSE ARE GREAT
The house was great! Everything was perfectly clean and well stocked. The 'kids cave' downstairs was a perfect place for the younger travelers to hang out and have their own space. Plenty of parking..we had three families with us. It's a quick drive down to the base of the mountain or an easy drop off or LONG walk to jump on Oma's Meadow and ski down. Communication, house, view and location were all great. We will be back!!
