About this property

Scenic Mountain Lodge near Activities

Welcome to Sunset Lodge!

Sunset Lodge is an upscale 4-bedroom mountain home conveniently located between Blowing Rock and Boone, less than one mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoy spectacular layered mountain views and amazing sunsets from both levels of this Five Star property! The house sits toward the back of a quiet, upscale residential area, where the homes are on large properties with mature hardwood trees. Sunset Lodge now features Hammock Hill, your private, one-acre scenic overlook. This terraced side yard has a fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and a large hammock for relaxing. Hammock Hill is the perfect place to enjoy peaceful sunsets, afternoon naps, or S'mores under the stars.

Every square foot of this house is furnished and decorated to make it a luxurious yet comfortable, family-friendly mountain escape. The upper level boasts a great room with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, designer furniture, a fireplace, and a large HD Smart TV. A bar with a wine fridge, a half bath/powder room, and a laundry room with a washer and dryer are also accessible from the great room. The adjacent kitchen has stainless appliances and granite counters. The dining table seats up to eight (8) guests, and two more can sit at the counter-height bar between the kitchen and the great room. The master suite, also on this level, features vaulted ceilings, an HD smart TV, a king bed, and a large ensuite full bathroom with jetted tub and separate shower. Sliding glass doors lead to the deck from the master bedroom, opening up amazing long-range views.

The lower level has a second living area with an HD Smart TV, a queen sleeper sofa, a small fridge, a foosball table, and a game console. Glass doors lead to the lower deck and the hot tub. Two bedrooms on one wing offer a king bed and two twin beds, sharing a Jack-&-Jill bathroom with a tub and shower. On the other wing is a king suite with a full bathroom, long-range views, and an HD Smart TV. The two-car garage is accessible from the lower level and has a ping-pong table for family fun.

The paved driveway is uphill and steep, so come prepared with 4WD and tire chains during winter weather.

Tweetsie Railroad and Appalachian Ski Mountain are only six (6) miles away. Valle Crucis is about fifteen (15) miles. Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, Snowtubing and ZipLines at Hawksnest, and Grandfather Mountain are about twenty (20) miles.

Mountain stay
We had a wonderful long weekend getaway with another family. Our first day was cool and rainy, and not leaving this beautiful house was not a problem! It is stocked with games, a hot tub, ping pong, and anything you could want to keep busy, relax, cook, and catch up! The next day we had beautiful weather and had a great time hiking nearby. The only hitch was the check in process where our code we were emailed did not work so we called the management company who then needed to put in another call to the property manager and we were locked out waiting for a bit until they could call us back and resolve it. They said none of their property codes were working that day due to wifi issues.

Fourth bedroom has only two singles
Lovely home and views but the singles bedroom only has two beds not three. There was a twin mattress on the floor with no sheets for it or the sofa bed. The local management co was attentive and delivered sheets the second day. I think the listing should remove the three single bed icon as it was misleading. No adults want to sleep on the floor and we rented this place expecting a trundle or bed . The driveway is extremely steep. Take the four wheel drive suggestion seriously in cold weather!!! We had to scrape ice off driveway for over an hour(with a 4WD vehicle).

A Restful Retreat
My 15-year-old son and I had a wonderful time staying at this property. Because we come to the NC mountains quite often we weren’t looking to do a lot of tourist activities. We were looking for a truly restful and restorative long weekend and that is exactly what we had. Twice we hiked the stretch of the Mountain-to-Sea trail (MST) that is right by the house (about 3.5 miles round trip and thankful the info about the trail was on the fridge at the house!) and once we went into Boone and had lunch and wandered through shops. Otherwise we were content to have late breakfasts sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch looking at the spectacular view (my personal favorite) and cozy dinners in front of the fire while watching football on TV. I would absolutely rent this house again and highly recommend it but take it seriously when they say the driveway is super steep. (The price you pay for the amazing view at the top!) I definitely recommend coming to the house with an SUV or truck with a higher road clearance. I was driving my Yukon and coming down the steep driveway and turning onto the road I swear the underside of my front bumper scraped the road LOL. And even with my four-wheel-drive I would not attempt that driveway without chains if there was snow!! The first day we walked down to get to the MST and my 15-year-old son who plays lacrosse felt uncomfortable walking straight down the driveway and instead zig-zagged back-and-forth. But then again we are from flat Florida. 😊

Sunset Lodge Review
Awesome cabin for our group of 8. We really enjoyed the room we had in the cabin and the setting of the cabin. More positive than negatives and we would and probably will rent this location again. Two things to improve upon would be hot tub size - very small and really only large enough for two people, maybe three. If I owned the cabin this would be my first priority to increase my renters experience. The second thing would be a larger grill. It was cold, snow everyday which we loved. It was hard for all of us to use the grill in a timely manner. Lastly, when we got there the driveway and steps had far more than three inches of snow. We clear throughout the weekend but it would have been appreciated if the leasing company had someone out to clear the steps and driveway prior to us arriving. My wife is very pregnant and the steps going up to the front door we're to hazardous for her to use.
