Spacious 6BR | Hot Tub, Fire Place & Pitt | Pet Friendly | Ski Sugar next door

Gather your multi-generational family at The Sugar Nest, a spacious 6-bedroom mountain lodge designed for connection and high-elevation adventure. Located directly on Sugar Mountain, you are just minutes from the slopes and situated near the free winter shuttle route. Whether you’re chasing winter powder or escaping the summer heat, this pet-friendly retreat—featuring a bubbling hot tub and a massive wraparound deck—is your robust home away from home.

THE SPACE
Finding a rental that comfortably fits 16 guests without “cramped condo” vibes is a challenge on the mountain. We designed The Sugar Nest to be the solution. We aren’t a fragile “museum” home; we are a renovated, fully equipped lodge built for families, pets, and mountain memories.

• SOCIAL LAYOUT: The main level is open-concept, ensuring the cook is always part of the conversation in our fully stocked kitchen.
• TWO LIVING LEVELS: With two distinct living areas, early-rising kids and night-owl adults can coexist peacefully.
• OUTDOOR LIVING: A wraparound deck with a Weber Summit grill, a fire pit for s’mores, and a private hot tub for post-slope/post-hike recovery.

SLEEPING SETUP (Where Everyone Lands)
• MAIN LEVEL: 2 bedrooms, each with a Queen bed. Perfect for grandparents.
• UPPER LEVEL: 1 Primary Suite (King Bed) + 3 additional Queen bedrooms.
• BONUS SPACE: 2 Queen pull-out sofas in the living room for maximum flexibility.

WHY “THE SUGAR NEST” WINS
• THE PARKING PERK: Unlike steep mountain driveways, we offer ample, flatter (for the mountain) parking for multiple vehicles (approx. 5 to 8, depending on size).
• THE “SUGAR BUS” (WINTER BONUS): Near the Grouse Moor Drive winter shuttle route (weekends/holidays).

MOUNTAIN REALITY CHECK (Please Read)
We want your stay to be flawless, so here are a few helpful heads-ups:
• WINTER TRAVEL (Nov–Mar): AWD/4WD or chains are highly recommended. We are at 4,500+ feet; weather changes fast.
• SECURITY: Exterior camera at the front door entry points only. No indoor cameras.

GUEST ACCESS
You have full private access to the entire home and property. Self check-in is easy via an electronic keypad; your unique door code is sent 48 hours before arrival, along with instructions and the home's specific address.
