A great place for some peace and quiet. Only 30 minutes away from some interesting towns, if you really must be on the go. Excellent service and attention from the hosts. Very good chef. I am planning to get back there again.

I did enjoy my stay here. If you can find it in your heart to overlook the very scary driveway that gets you to the property, you will enjoy it, too. The room was clean. The owners were nice. It is a very relaxing place to spend the night. You have to enjoy the rustic setting, though: squeaky wood floors and the old cabin smell. Also, no TV or WiFi. I would go back again, though.

The Sugar Tree Inn was a little gem in the woods! The hosts (Kelly and Russ) were AMAZING! Wonderful food, accommodations, and atmosphere. Could not have asked for a better way to spend our 10 year wedding anniversary!

A wonderful ski lodge /country manor vibe in the woods between the Blue Ridge Parkway and the interstate -- yet in a world of its own. New management and upcoming and ongoing upgrades, but it is already a very special place to enjoy the mountains. Great breakfast but check on other meals -- lunch/dinner not available every day.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room we stayed in was fantastic. Very comfortable and well appointed. Yes, the driveway is a bit tricky, and I wouldn't want to drive it in the winter, but it wasn't THAT bad. It has excellent access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which was our #1 reason for choosing the inn, but now we will return just because it is so nice : ) Bring your own WiFi hotspot!

Kevin and Chef Gerry were excellent host, from the moment we pulled into the drive way until we left to go home. The St. Mary's Cabin was the perfect room for my granddaughter and me. Clean, comfortable, charming and a great view. Dinner and breakfast were outstanding and they both went out of their way to make out meals great and enjoyable. Great time was had by all! We will be back! Thank for the great weekend!

This was a getaway for my wife and I and it was absolutely perfect. We stayed in St. Mary’s cabin and it was everything we could have asked for. Kevin and Brenda were great hosts. Breakfast was great, very balanced and didn’t make us feel bloated. We had dinner there one night and it was good. They were well stocked on all different types of drinks, but the cold brew, which is free, was my wife’s favorite. There is not Wi-Fi, which is what we wanted, but we had cell service in case of an emergency. Overall, great place to stay, great hosts and great views.

Not as advertised.

The stay was nice. However, I booked this mountain stay because they listed fireplaces and had Wi-Fi. Their fireplaces are not functional and the do not have Wi-Fi. i would not have stayed here if I had known these things. I am disappointed that your website did not have up to date information about this hotel.
