Guest access
Like other homes in the area, we are on a mountain. Please note that the driveway has a significant incline and YOU WILL NEED AWD DURING WINTER WEATHER. It's honestly a good idea year round for visiting the area. Vehicles like sedans or others that ride low will not clear and struggle with our driveway. Please be aware of this at the time of booking and make appropriate plans for your stay. If you aren't sure please ask us any questions as we are happy to help.

Electronic keypad entry on main level. Guests will have access to the entire house as well as the surrounding 2 acres.

The A-Frame has two sets of steep stairs, please keep this in mind when considering members of your party.

Other things to note
- Minimum age to rent is 25 years old.
- Only guests listed on original booking are permitted to stay on property. If you have changes to your reservation please alert host prior to check in to correctly update your booking. We appreciate it!

*SEVERE WEATHER*
Like other properties in the area, we are on a mountain. Please note that the driveway has a significant incline. This provides a lovely, wooded and private experience, but does mean we recommend 4WD especially in the winter (Nov. - March) in case of snow. We cannot predict or control the weather, so we don't offer refunds due to inclement weather. Please keep this in mind when booking and consider purchasing travel insurance.

- Check in is 3pm the date of arrival and check out is 10am the date of your departure. These times are firm to ensure cleaning team has adequate time to sanitize and reset the cabin. If the cabin is ready early we will alert you. In the event you would like an early check in / late check out we can accomodate with a $50 fee when available. Please inquire in advance. We appreciate your understanding.

- Appalachian A Frame is dog friendly! House trained, well behaved pups are welcome with advance notice and prior approval from us. There is an additional $75 flat pet fee and we allow up to 2 dogs (no cats) per stay. Dogs are not permitted on furniture or in beds.

-Available for photoshoots but this must be discussed / disclosed at the time of booking and subject to owner approval.

Neighborhood highlights

Sugar Grove is a quiet, quaint community just outside Valle Crucis about 20 minutes from Downtown Boone and Appalachian State. Our road is directly off HWY 321. Our cabin sits at 3,000 feet elevation and is on a hilled lot; back deck looks over Rush Branch Road. While private, we are not secluded and do have a few neighbors nearby. We are also just a short drive from dining options, stores and attractions.

Where I went to school: Ohio University
My work: Mom x3/ Yoga Teacher
Hey, there! We're John and Emily South. Two Ohio kids who hightailed it to NC after graduating from Ohio University over a decade ago. In that time we've gotten married, bought three fixer-uppers, started a family business (Shoestring Productions), rescued two pups and made three rather cool kids of our own. Early in our marriage we fell in love with the NC Mountains and said someday we'd have our own place there. We can't believe that day is here and we are so excited to share our sweet little A - Frame with you, your family and friends - all are welcome here.
