Evergreen Lodge | Sugar Grove Mountain Farmhouse with Hot Tub, Arcade Room & Mountain Views

🍂 Welcome to Your Valle Crucis Fall Farmhouse — A Cozy Mountain Escape with Views, Games & Hot Tub

Tucked into the peaceful mountain valley of Sugar Grove, just five minutes from Valle Crucis, this farmhouse is made for experiencing fall in the North Carolina High Country.

When the mountains turn brilliant shades of red, orange, gold, and yellow, settle in with a cup of coffee on the deck, gather around the fire pit overlooking the mountains, or soak in the six-person hot tub under the crisp autumn sky. 🍁🔥

And when everyone comes inside? There’s a full arcade upstairs waiting.

Sleeps 8 and puts you just 15 minutes from Boone and 20 minutes from Banner Elk—close to the action, but wonderfully quiet when you come home.

🍁 FALL IN VALLE CRUCIS

Leaf season is one of the best reasons to visit this valley.

Typically, fall color arrives from late September through the third week of October, transforming the surrounding mountains into a spectacular display of autumn color.

Spend the day chasing foliage along scenic mountain roads, hiking through the woods, exploring Valle Crucis, or visiting nearby mountain towns.

Then come home to a fire, a hot tub, and a quiet evening under the stars.

Fall weeks book early—plan ahead for peak foliage season.
