Welcome to Evergreen Lodge — Your Valle Crucis Winter Farmhouse

Tucked into the peaceful mountain valley of Sugar Grove, just 5 minutes from Valle Crucis, Evergreen Lodge is the perfect place to experience winter in North Carolina’s High Country.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, gather around the fire pit overlooking the mountains, or unwind in the six-person hot tub beneath the crisp mountain sky. When it’s time to head inside, a full upstairs arcade awaits with entertainment for the whole group.

With space for up to 8 guests, Evergreen Lodge puts you just 15 minutes from Boone and 20 minutes from Banner Elk—close to High Country adventures, yet wonderfully peaceful when you return.
