Welcome to Byrd's Eye View on Sugar Mountain! This unique house is perfect for your mountain vacation. Conveniently located minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, and you can even take a walking trek to the top of Sugar! An easy drive to Boone and Blowing Rock. Byrd's Eye View welcomes your furry family members as well. ($65 pet fee. Maximum of two pets allowed.) You have never seen anything like this place! Byrd's Eye View presents a modern mountain cabin merged with a Renaissance period feel due to the intricate stonework throughout the interior and exterior of the house. The back roof is dome-shaped and the front of the house is full of beautiful windows to connect you directly with the trees and mountain air. Bamboo flooring throughout. The fireplace heats the whole house and creates a perfect atmosphere for unwinding. The front porch is ideal for relaxing mornings with coffee and evenings with wine. The kitchen is large and wide-open and fully stocked for your use. There is a washer and dryer on-site. The downstairs bedroom has a Dream Cloud, Queen bed and is located behind the fireplace. Next door, is the downstairs full bathroom with a heated floor. Upstairs is the loft with a luxurious King-sized bed and a half bath that is part of the room. (This is a very European style!) The name Byrd's Eye View comes from looking out the cathedral window from the top of the stairs. The two bedrooms provide sufficient space for four adults; or more if you want to use the couches for sleeping spaces. (Maximum of 4 adults allowed to stay overnight and maximum of 6 persons allowed at one time on the property.) Because of the stonework throughout the house, we feel Byrd's Eye View is most appropriate for children aged 9 years and older. (Exceptions can be made with parental consent.) The house has sufficient parking space for two vehicles. 4WD vehicles are recommended in winter months. You will have full privacy during your stay. I have maintenance help nearby if you need anything and of course please reach out to me via the app or a phone call if needed anytime! Byrd's Eye View is on Sugar Mountain! A very special destination year round. Fall is incredible with the changing leaves. Summer is gorgeous for the cool mountain breeze. Winter is cozy with the fireplace and hopefully snow! Spring is perfect hiking weather. Sugar Mountain Resort is just up the road, where you will find an outdoor skating rink, snow tubing, mountain bike tours, summer ski lift rides, a public tennis court, and a full golf course. There are plenty of restaurants close by including The Pedalin’ Pig and Bella's Italian. Lowe's Foods and Food Lion are close by for grocery options. Downtown Banner Elk and Beech Mountain are fun mountain hangouts. Take an afternoon to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway and visit downtown Blowing Rock for shopping and dining. Grandfather State Park is a must-see! (Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance.) And of course Boone and Appalachian State are just up the main drag! Hiking is everywhere; from easy to strenuous. Again, just a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, especially over the Linn Cove Viaduct, is absolutely breathtaking. Welcome to the Mountains!!
