Sugar Hollow Retreat comprises 300 acres of pristine natural beauty including an upscale 10 room Lodge along with four fully appointed guest houses, a conference facility, amphitheater which seats 250-300 people with ease, and a panoramic deck overlooking Watauga Lake, a short distance away.  The 26 rooms can host up to 60 guests. The Conference Center accommodates 100 and is fitted with showers and baths, kitchen, tables, chairs and high tech equipment along with a 600 square foot deck with alluring mountain vistas. Sugar Hollow caters to church groups, business retreats, family reunions, weddings, and individuals. Here you’ll find not just luxurious accommodations, but also a wildlife sanctuary amidst the natural wonders of ancient rivers, cliffs, forests, lakes, mountains and meadows. Just a short drive from the mountain destinations of Johnston City, Bristol, Banner Elk and Boone, Sugar Hollow offers a world unto itself. From the picturesque Elk River teeming with fish, to brilliant blue Watauga Lake, to ten miles of walking trails revealing breathtaking views, to sheer rock walls that challenge the serious climber, Sugar Hollow is an experience like no other. Recently a challenging team leadership course at ground level has been added along with two sheer cliffs fitted with alpine gear for climbing and rappelling. Facilitators from Grant Seldom Ridge’s River and Earth Adventures of Boone, Asheville, and Elizabethton can assist any group wishing to have an exhilarating canoe, kayak, rafting, or caving experience. Neighbors include Judson Eunice Conway, professional fly-fishing expert, who can arrange float trips in the area in a moment. On site is a disc golf course, orienteering, hiking, superb photography, birding, flower walks in the springtime, and fishing along a half mile of Elk River frontage. If you like some of the best Bluegrass music in the Southeast, you can arrange to have EC Miller and his “Gold Rush Review” come and play for your group or choose from a bevy of other local bands. EC has taught Bluegrass at East Tennessee State University for 42 years! And when’s the day’s done and the sun sinks below the Appalachian ridgeline, you’ll enjoy the modern comforts of a rustic barn transformed into an the elegant mountain Lodge at Sugar Hollow with ten guest rooms, each with its own private bath and individual thermostat. Enjoy our fireside lounge or coffee bar complete with satellite TV for those who want to stay connected to the world beyond our hills.
