Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Watauga County

I surprised my wife with a weekend birthday trip to the mountains. Sherries place was perfect. It was beautiful and spacious. It’s close to everything but you still feel secluded. We enjoyed it very much and really like to use it again in the near future.

Absolutely perfect spot for a ski getaway. We had a blast at Beech Mtn and loved being able to snuggle up next to a real fire after a wonderful day of skiing

Betsey was great! Very responsive and flexible with check in. Place was clean, comfortable, and a gorgeous location!

Stunning Views very clean and front desk has flexible check ins even in the middle of the night! Will definitely book again

Thanks for another great stay with even better views of the mountains in the winter. Enjoyed time in nature and with the wildlife right off the deck.

Quick stay for a wedding at the Overlook Barn just up the road. The apartment is just as advertised, and Ryan was a very communicative and helpful host. The location is fantastic if you're doing anything in Beech Mountain or Banner Elk. Everything was very clean and ready to go when I arrived. I would highly recommend Ryan's place.

We had a great stay!! Everything was just as described! Perfect distance to sugar and beech for skiing! We hope to be back soon!

Jim’s place was the perfect place to stay for a ski weekend at Beech Mountain. The condo was super cozy and comfortable for our family of 3. We also loved being so close to the pool area. Jim was super responsive when we checked in and had some last minute questions. We loved our stay!

The condo is beautifully decorated, spotless and feels like home. If you want a great view of the mountains, this is it, directly facing Grandfather Mountain! Jason was a very responsive, proactive and helpful host. Grateful for such a wonderful experience in this place.

Stacia’s space was lovely and just what my partner and I were looking for during our weekend snowboarding getaway. I’ve stayed in a few different units at this particular complex, and Stacia’s is easily my favorite so far. The place is stocked with just about anything you could need, and the outdoor porch has a perfect view of the Beech Mountain slopes. Stacia was very kind and communicative, and I’m so grateful that she shared her home with us. Will definitely be on the lookout for this spot when planning future snowboarding trips!

Enjoyed every minute of our stay at Mary’s place. It felt like home, so clean and comfortable. The view was beautiful. This unit is just close enough to enjoy all the local areas but just far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountains. The host was very responsive and checked in multiple times to make sure our stay was great. Thank you for creating an Airbnb that feels like a home away from home!

great mini family vacation. Watching Mountain bike races right off the balcony was a bonus.

Stephanie's home was very comfortable, with plenty of space, great amenities, and incredible views. I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking to stay at Sugar Mountain.

Great 1 bedroom condo at Sugar Ski. Host was excellent unit had everything you would need and recently renovated. If you are looking for a 1 BR unit at Sugar Ski I would stay here. I always stay at Sugar Ski when coming to Sugar Mountain. Nice indoor pool area and you can’t beat the close proximity to the ski resort in the winter. You can walk out your door and start skiing right down the mountain.

This was the first time we have stayed at this Sugar Top location and with Michelle as host and i sincerely hope to stay again! Michelle was a great communicator and very patient with all my questions. The unit was lovey, updated, comfortable, and welcoming. The beds were COMFY! There were lots of extra blankets and pillows, which was so nice to have. The space was perfect for our little family! The staff at the property were all so friendly and helpful. We genuinely felt welcomed from beginning of our stay until we checked out. 10 out of 10 recommend Michelle and her property!

We booked at the last minute, but Hsiang-Ting made sure the front desk at the condo was informed, ensuring a smooth check-in. He was responsive and answered all our questions. The instructions were clear. The condo was perfect for a small family like ours. The location is convenient—just 2 miles straight to the top of the mountain—offering the privacy and seclusion ideal for this kind of retreat, yet still a short distance from a convenience store. The hotel also has a small pantry stocked with essentials like laundry detergent and toothbrushes. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.

We really loved our stay! The house was clean and beautifully decorated. Great views of Hawksnest snow tubing (which was a fun activity). The house had everything we needed — comfortable beds, plenty of blankets, fireplace and fire pit, a stocked coffee bar, and plenty of parking. The kids loved the bunk room and game room. The balcony has a lot of comfortable seating as well. The hosts were incredibly gracious and kind, as well as available if we needed them. Thanks for the wonderful stay!!

Carols was great! Good location for skiing and very clean.

The cabin was everything we needed this weekend! The screen porch was a perfect place to wind down in the evening. The kids were excited to pick from the DVD collection and game shelf. The community center was perfect for fishing and paddle boats with the kids. We also were close enough to the creeks to splash around in the mornings like I did growing up. We will be back!

We booked this house last minute, on the drive up, after our previous booking was damaged in a storm. Check in was easy and the place was ready to go. The house itself was a lot of fun. We enjoyed the workout area, hot tub and tons of games as well as a 3 minute drive to the ski resort. It was everything we were looking for.

Great Location Great view clear instructions. Nice for 2 families vacation. Condo was very good clean and so many games for kids. Aimee cohost is always responsive for any questions. Good for vacation. I will go again if i will plan for Beach mountains.

One of my best Airbnb experiences. Clean and nice home with awesome sunrise views!

Great place to stay even in the winter ! Walk to the gym and clubhouse or take a short drive to the indoor pool. Great location for skiing or trails, or a quick trip to Blowing Rock.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin! It was just the two of us, but a large family or a few couples would easily enjoy the space. The views were great, the hosts were responsive and kind, the hot tub was huge, the home itself was beautiful and spacious. We are very thankful to have found this cabin at the lastttt minute after a cancellation from another host. Feel very blessed this is where we ended up for a nice weekend away to spend some time together. 11/10 would recommend!
