Mountain Moments by Carolina Properties - Pet Friendly, Great Views, Private!

*** Summer 2025 - Lake Lure Update ***

Per the website www.townoflakelure.com: Lake Use in 2025- Town Council and Town leadership are keenly aware of the importance of reopening the Lake as soon as it is safe to do so. Given the timing of the work that has been completed thus far and the need for ongoing work moving forward, it is extremely unlikely that the Lake will be able to open for the 2025 summer season. (This includes motorized and non-motorized vessels and swimming.) For those of you who have been following our storm recovery process closely, this news may not be a surprise to you. I thought it was important to share this news with you directly. Please note that Town Council and Town leadership will continue to evaluate options for opening the Lake or portions of the Lake and we will continue to keep you informed with any updates as new information becomes available.

PET FRIENDLY ~ EXCEPTIONAL MOUNTAIN VIEWS ~ INTERNET ~ ROMANTIC ~ FIREPLACE ~ WOOD FLOORS

Breathtaking Splendor
A saying automatically brings this home to mind: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away." The splendor of this bountiful landscape is boundless and breathtaking!

Guests have called the views therapeutic. This is a retreat you will not want to leave. When you do, it is one you and your family (four-legged family members welcome) will long to return to again and again, no matter the season. This mountain home is 33 miles from Linville Caverns, 52 miles from Grandfather Mountain State Park and the Mile High Swinging Bridge, 19.3 miles to the Beach at Lake Lure, 20.6 miles to Chimney Rock State Park, and 27.7 miles to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC).

A Therapeutic Recharge
Whether it is to get away for a long weekend (there is a 3-night minimum stay) or a relaxing vacation, step inside Mountain Moments, and you will feel your stress melt away. The wall of windows, stone fireplace, and hardwood walls and floors of the great room give an instant feeling of warmth and comfort. Just imagine enjoying a gorgeous sunset while relaxing in front of a blazing fire. Dine indoors or in the mountain air on a stone patio (gas grill) with a fire pit to keep you warm. This is also a perfect spot for your morning coffee or tea; have a seat on the stone wall.

With All the Comforts of Home
With three spacious bedrooms, a loft sleeping area, and two (2) full baths, there is ample room for seven (7) guests. The fully equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, refrigerator, range, microwave, coffee maker, and various small appliances. In the hall is a stacked washer/dryer. For entertainment, the home offers a TV with a DirecTV Classic Silver package and 200 channels; a VCR/DVD and selection of movies; a stereo with an iPod connection; and internet service (no streaming, gaming, or downloads).

Conveniently Located
Mountain Moments is located in Sugar Hill, North Carolina, 15 minutes south of Marion, 20 minutes from Old Fort, and 20 minutes to Lake Lure/Chimney Rock. This log home is convenient to Lake James, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Black Mountain. It is 45 minutes from Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Be Our Guest
In addition to some of the most breathtaking views you will ever see, western North Carolina offers several entertainment and activity options. See the Amenities and Local Area Guide for just a sampling of what the area offers.

Pack your clothes, pick up some groceries (stores nearby), then sit back and relax. We look forward to you being our guest.

Good place to stay
MM was a great place for us to stay, me, my son, and Pilot, the Golden. Private location, fairly easy access, nice lay out and cozy. View was fantastic, ever changing, clouds, layers of mountains. Stone work is great, good dog walking area. We will return.

Amazingly beautiful
This property offers exactly what the web cite says. The views are incredible. It has everything even board games for the kids. We had a hard time finding the property and they came to our rescue and drove us to it. Way beyond customer service.

Great Place to stay, don’t check out on Sunday though
This place was very nice and suited the group we were with. My only complaint would be the trash procedure. The home-guide stated to “Please make sure all bags are securely tied closed and put in the outside trash can(s)”. Instead, this property actually requires guests to take trash out to the local trash center, which is no issue at all. The problem I had was that all the trash centers in the area are closed on Sundays (the day of our checkout). Other than that, would recommend this place, just not for Sunday checkouts.

Hallmark Christmas movie experience
First of all, the house, grounds, and views are absolutely gorgeous! We decorated for Christmas inside and out. Thanks for allowing us to do that. Our Hallmark Christmas movie experience was perfect. Watching my grandchildren coming down the staircase to see what santa left was priceless. We also took them to Tweetsie for their Christmas train ride. It was wonderful. Just a couple of things that we found that could have been better. Another tv upstairs for kids would've been so helpful. Especially after dark. Some kind of window treatment would be great! We wore sunglasses inside! The temp rose to 85 inside! Simple blinds would've helped so much! Maybe invest in r/c blinds. Anyway, thanks again for allowing my family to spend the holiday in your home!

Perfect mountain get-away...
The process of renting and updated email from property management went very smoothly. The Mountain Moments log home was extremely clean, well furnished and had the most wonderful view from living area and deck. I highly recommend this property for the perfect mountain get-away!

Great home and great location!
This house was perfect for three couples. The porch and views are fantastic. Nice fire pit area just off the porch. The kitchen is equipped with everything you would need and more!! The house was given to us very clean. The living room furniture has been replaced with a large sectional which is super comfy. I agree with previous reviews about the beds but it wasn't like we didn't sleep well. Centrally located for excursions in every direction from the house. Walmart and Ingles grocery are about a 15 minute drive. Very very steep drive up to the house. Would highly recommend this home.

Mountain Moments Making Memories
This log cabin nestled in the woods was amazing! It was quiet and peaceful with many things to do within a 30-60min drive. The views of the mountains from the widow wall in the living room and the back porch were outstanding, the stars were brilliant each night, and the fire pit and grill provided a camping-feel without having to camp out. We drove the BlueRidge Parkway and visited Chimney Rock, Mount Mitchell (the highest summit in the East) and Catawba Falls during our stay. One spot was more breathtaking than the next and they were all dog friendly! If we had a couple more days we'd have definitely spent them solely enjoying the cabin atmosphere. We would highly recommend staying here, and you can bring the whole family (furry four legged babies included.)

Comfortable cabin with great views.
The cabin is located on a hill and is well situated so that the views from the large deck are beautiful. The cabin was a good size for 5 or 6 people. (The listing states that it sleeps 7 people, but the day bed at the top of the stairs cannot really be used to sleep as all the heat rises and makes the area too hot to sleep.) The kitchen in the cabin is adequately equipped. It would be good if the property management company (Carolina Properties) would check things such as the refridgerator lights and oven lights worked. Prospective renters should be aware that they need to dispose of trash at a facilty about 2 miles away - unless they want to pay a trash collection fee of $25 plus $2 per bag. Note that the internet speed is challenging and it does limit internet usage if that is something you typically use a lot. The TV provider is Dish, so the signal can go out during heavy rain or a storm. (It was out for an evening during our stay.) Note that this review requires a rating of the communciation with the property manager, however there was no direct communication other than a couple of e-mails sent out with information about the property and door code. Overall our stay at the cabin was enjoyable.

Tranquil, relaxing and perfect way to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family
Nestled near the top of the mountain lies this beautiful log cabin with amazing views of the surrounding area. The wrap around deck provided an opportunity to watch the sunrise and set as we relaxed around the fireplace and played board games with our kids. Out front there is a hammock to relax on and a fire pit to roast marshmallows for smores. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of pots, pans and cooking accessories that we were able to cook an amazing Thanksgiving dinner without worrying about not have utensils or cooking ware. So close to Lake Lure's amazing little town where we had pizza, visited Granfather Mountain and just an hour drive away we visited the Mile High Bridge. This was our first time visiting North Carolina and we will definitely be back.

We loved our visit. The description on VRBO was very accurate. The home was homey, and clean. My only suggestion would be better chairs for relaxing on the deck. More bedroom lighting would help also.
