About the Owner

We are overjoyed to share our love of nature and rustic charm with you at Sunrise Summit. We wanted a place for family to gather and make memories together - which are far more valuable to us than tangible gifts. We hope you enjoy the local southern hospitality, wake up to the stellar sunrise over the mountains, watch a storm roll in while sitting in a chair on the covered porch, and relax outside as the day draws to a close.

Our chalet is your perfect getaway, with the best location and amenities for an unforgettable experience.
