I stayed, accompanied by my three children, at Bent Mountain Lodge in December of 2023. Every single thing about our stay exceeded my expectations. The Lodge has new owners, David and Ginger, since early November of ’23 and they are friendly and accommodating and will go out of their way to make sure your stay is perfect. The mattresses were high quality and comfortable and we all slept so well. The bedding was impeccably clean and the bathroom was comfortable and very spacious. I loved how the bathroom in Guest Room 2 was in the foyer of the room, meaning you could turn on the bathroom light without disturbing someone still sleeping in the main part of the room. The breakfast was AH-MAZING (again, ignore earlier reviews about the quality of the breakfast that are prior to 11/1/23 when there was a different ownership). There was plenty of fresh fruit, coffees, teas, muffins, toast, cereals, hard-boiled eggs, English Muffins, and even more. I left the very best part for last – the views are spectacular, from many angles. They’re so beautiful you will want to spend as much time as you can outdoors, going for a nice hike, exploring the property, or eating and chatting at one of the dozens of outdoor seating options. This charming, beautiful, picturesque location would be amazing for girls’ weekends, church retreats, book club outings, weddings, family reunions, and so much more. We cannot wait to go back!
