Great holiday memories!
What a lovely place to celebrate our Christmas in the beautiful mountains. This home suited our needs perfectly and we had so much fun. The proximity to both Sugar and Beech mountains for skiing were excellent. We even decorated the home’s decor cactus as our Christmas tree (see photo attached). Thank you for a great memory. We will definitely book with Blue Ridge Rentals again!

Wonderful Christmas celebration
This was the perfect cabin to celebrate our family Christmas! There were plenty of bedrooms for everyone and the kids bedroom with bunk beds was awesome! The large family room was perfect for us all to gather with beautiful views of Sugar Mountain. We loved the spacious kitchen...made it easy to cook for our large group. We also enjoyed all the fun activities the area provided from tubing to hiking. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Family Getaway
The lodge was the perfect size for our group of 8 & our pups. Comfy & homey for Christmas! Well equipped, great location close to both Sugar Mtn and Beech Mtn. We communicated opportunities to the management company, and had a great response on resolution. Definitely some maintenance needed, but confident things will be resolved.

50th Anniversary Gathering
Property handled our 14 amily members very well. Lots of space for everyone. Living room was a perfect size for all members to gather one night for our celebration. Property is located close to many activities/wineries/golf courses,/hiking and just plain relaxing. Kitchen well equipped and plenty of eating space for all. The most difficult part of the rental is the driving up to the house. Driveway is in need of repair.

Amazing! We will be back
The house was perfect for our three families. Plenty of space for the kids downstairs and adults upstairs. Close to everything we wanted to do - tubing, gem mining, hiking, roller coaster. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were super responsive to anything we needed. Amazing views! We even got to see wildlife from the house. Definitely want to come back! Would say that 4wd or AWD is recommended for the driveway - one of our parties without it could not get up and parked at the base instead. Otherwise a perfect trip!

Fun stay in Sugar Bear Ridge
Myself and a group of friend stayed at Sugar bear Lodge for our annual cabin trip. We loved the location and the house. The common spaces were large enough to accommodate a large group with out feeling crowded. The kitchen was also well equipped. The hot tub, firepit, pool table, and other games gave us plenty to do and were in great condition! The only thing that I would point out is that the 3 bedrooms in the basement are all connecting, so you have to walk through a bedroom to get to another bedroom and the bathroom. For some groups this might be uncomfortable and I dont feel like I could really tell how the bedrooms were connected from the pictures. Although we would definitely stay again!
