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!

Family Reunion
We are a large group who gathered to celebrate my father’s life on the 1 year anniversary of his passing. The host was phenomenal in his communication leading up to our 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. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property for family reunions and gatherings.

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.

Spacious & Beautiful Home
The home was perfect for our large group of 14 adults. Every couple had their own bedroom and bathroom, which is a rare find. The kitchen was well-stocked, and even had two large coffee stations. The home was meticulously decorated for fall. The location was incredibly convenient to get to several fun restaurants and breweries in both Banner Elk and Boone. When we had an issue figuring out how to use the fireplace, Mike, the owner, responded very quickly to our multiple late night messages requesting help. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely visit again!

An absolute wonderful house for a large group!
This year, with new owner, the house is absolutely the best it has been with new beds, paint, lots of extra amenities, etc. We love the large fire pit. The house is very convenient to the parkway, Grandfather Mtn, Banner Elk (with skiing and Alpine coaster), Boone, and Blowing Rock (Tweetsie and lots of shopping) and many walking trails! It is a great house to come "home" to at the end of the day!

Second Family Stay
We LOVE this property so much. This was our second time staying as a family of 25 people ages 18 months - 79 years old. We had plenty of space to move around and be separated if we needed it. The upgrades were great and little touches were very personal. Felt like you were in a hotel almost with the addition of shampoo/conditioner/ soap dispensers and everything we needed ! Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook- but I did buy and donate a crockpot to the property! Easy to get to Boone, Valle Crucis, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock area. My favorite Grandfather Mountain Winery 2 minutes away! Beautiful views from the front porch! I can’t say enough how special this place is! Feels like a second home.
