The place was huge and perfect for big groups. We loved the amount of parking available, the easy access to the neighborhood amenities, and the spacious rooms. The place could have been vacuumed better and the pull out couch beds did not seem to have been opened up & cleaned as we found tissues and crumbs upon opening the pull out. However, we quickly fixed that ourselves and had a great stay. Aside from that, the place was perfect and we would come back again!

Very nice home with everything you need! All the cooking essentials, 2 living room, nice game room, large dining room tables to fit us all in one room was so nice! The fire pit was perfect for the chill evenings. The kids nook in one of the bedrooms was so cute and kept them entertained. Having double / washer dryers were nice as well. Loved it! Only recommendation is some new mattresses and on demand water heater. Other than that, it’s perfect! And we will most likely be back next year!!

The bedrooms were also very pleasant and comfortable. The highlight of our trip was definitely the outdoor premises and amenities, which we loved—it provided a fantastic setting for relaxation and fun. Overall, the experience was wonderful, and the host took excellent care of us throughout our stay. We highly recommend this home!

This home was everything we needed and more for our wedding weekend. With our previous accommodations falling through shortly before our wedding, we felt blessed to find this home and owner. The house was clean with personal touches and so much space. We fit 20 of our closest family and friends, enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit, and had an ideal wedding weekend. Communication was efficient and seamless.

This house is just about perfect!

We had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was well stocked, the bathrooms had plenty of towels and toiletries, the beds were super comfy, the game room was a HUGE hit for both kids and grownups, and the pool was right across the street. The owner even provided extra towels for the pool and hot tubs. We had a great time using the fire pit too. Altho some of the Adirondack chairs around the pit were not fully assembled, we really didn't need them since there was ample built-in seating. There was plenty of space for the entire family to be together or hang out in small groups as there were several sitting areas along with the front deck and backyard. What a lovely home to spend a fun week in!

What a great place for our yearly family get together! We had 25 people ages 2 to 78 and there was room for all. Just know you’ll get your steps in at this one, as it is pretty big. HahaThe owner was SUPER responsive and wonderful to all of our needs. There is tons of parking. There are things to do inside and out. There is space to gather all together and space to spread out to be on your own. The tennis courts could definately use a lot of attention, plus they need pickleball lines. But we still used them and were very happy. The pool is great and everything is walking distance. Thank you for a super enjoyable week!

Fantastic Lodge

My entire family, 21 people ages from 2-70, stayed at this awesome mountain lodge and it met all our needs. It was large enough to feel like we weren’t on top of each other, but was also cozy and plenty of entertaining space for all of us to gather. The kids loved the playroom, hot tubs, and sledding down the big hill in the back yard. Close enough to both ski resort towns and Boone to not feel like long drives. Hot tubs were great after a long day of skiing. We cooked a lot of our meals at the house and they had everything you could think of for cooking ware, spices, dinnerware’s for all ages. This lodge helped make our family trip incredible and we had an amazing time. The host Mike is very accessible and responsive to help with anything you need.

The Blue Ridge Mountain Lodge is a beautiful place in a beautiful setting. The ample size of the Lodge allowed all my siblings and siblings-in-law to stay in one place. All had a great time and enjoyed the many and varied activities available close by. I would definitely consider staying there again and will recommend it to others.

Room for a big family.

With 25 in the family, this was the right spot to have a reunion. The kitchen was well equipped, and the dining room was huge. The weather was great, so most of the family went to Linville Caverns, Linville Falls, and did a float trip on the New River. The whole house is nicely decorated. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. Having private baths in every room is a real plus. The new hot tubs are quite nice. Most evenings we were around the fire pit enjoying our time together. We made great memories at the Lodge.

Great location!

Mike was very responsive to any questions we had before we arrived. The home is located in a community outside Boone off 105 - very convenient to attractions, stores, etc. This house is one of the most well-stocked our group has ever rented. It had everything we needed. It's located directly across from the swimming pool and tennis courts, which our group enjoyed. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay!

The property itself, exceeded our expectations! It was stocked with everything you could need. It was very clean, nicely decorated and so comfortable. There were many surprises, such as welcome baskets and a fully stocked coffee bar. We were close to so many area attractions.

Every bedroom with en suite bathroom!

We rented this house for a school reunion of 6 friends and our families. Two adults and two kids per family. The layout was fantastic with tons of bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The girls enjoyed the twin beds w/trundles room that had a play area with a table and games. The house was well appointed and stocked. The kitchen was huge, could have used a second dishwasher. Definitely could use some more plastic/kid-friendly cups and plates. But really, there are very few things we did not have here. There was easy access to a lovely Lowe’s food store just 8 minutes away. We did the alpine roller coaster just 10 minutes away. The little kids went to Tweetsie while the rest went fishing and hiking at Julian Price park. The house was nice and comfortable, but not “fancy” so we weren’t worried about the kids knocking over a priceless lamp etc. The game room was a BIG hit! We used the community pool several times which was a good size and not crowded even during the holiday weekend. The check in and check out process were simple and not fussy. Definitely a 5 star stay, we would absolutely stay here again.
