About this property

Private luxury home, sunset/mountain views, game room, pet-friendly, sleeps 22

Lost Ridge Lodge is a beautiful, light-filled contemporary mountain home located high on a ridge with incredible westerly views. Massive timbers, views from every room, 2 great rooms, three furnished outdoor gathering spots, fire pit, propane grill and weber kettle, fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, awesome huge game room (pool table, foosball, regulation length shuffleboard table and ping pong), 2 wood burning fireplaces - and we’re pet friendly! Ideal for families, we have a large children's room that sleeps 8 in twin trundle beds with en-suite bath. Wander our private roads and grassy paths while you take in breathtaking views in every direction. We are 15 minutes to Boone and 30 -40 minutes to Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, golf, Tweetsie Railroad, ski resorts, fishing, rafting, hiking, zip lining, horseback riding and all the beauty, charm and fun the High Country has to offer.

Lost Ridge Lodge is located in a very low density private, gated community governed by a Property Owner’s Association. A few common sense rules are in place for everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Please see our rental agreement for further information.

Our comfortable beds are outfitted with luxury 400TC, single ply, long staple cotton Pizuna sheets and down pillows (down alternative available too.). Children’s beds have cotton flannel sheets in cooler months. We provide big, thirsty Egyptian cotton bath sheets (bath towels in the children’s bath) in each bath and lots of cozy throws all over the house. We also provide shower gel, makeup removing towelettes, basic pantry items, all paper products including foil, baggies, etc., laundry and dishwashing detergent, firewood, fat wood fire starter and propane for the grill.

For the little ones, we have a pack n play, crib, high chair, 2 boosters, rolling play chair, potty chair, and full size folding stroller with big wheels for our gravel roads. For pet owners, we have bowls, 2 dog beds, various sized crates if your pet is crate trained, and “emergency” dog and puppy shampoo (we have ponds!), dog wipes, cleanup bags, hiking water bowl and pet stain/odor remover.

If you plan to stay during the snowy months, we highly recommend 4WD and possibly chains on your wheels. We do our very best to accommodate for the winter weather, but there are no reimbursements if your plans have to change due to the weather.

Whether you are hard-working young couples who need to renew or grandparents who managed to get the whole family together, this time is so important. We understand. We are very hands on owners who will do everything we can to make your stay wonderful and relaxing. We look forward to welcoming you to our little piece of paradise!

WOW - Merry Christmas 2023!!!
We enjoyed a magical Christmas 2023 at this awesome home. It delivered everything we dreamed of and more. The 6 bedroom house was well appointed and we didn't need anything during our stay. They stocked the house with paper products, plenty of towels/linens, a gas (and charcoal) grill - with LP, and tons of seasoned firewood to burn. The owner even decorated the house for Christmas with a tree and Santas galore. We created tons of memories for our 3 generation family. 9 adults and 5 children, ages 4 months - 6 years. We cooked almost all of our meals for 5 nights in the well-appointed kitchen. We even had plenty of spices, coffee, and filters to use. The beds were very comfortable and the 5 1/2 bathrooms were very nice. There was even a spare crib tucked away in the master bedroom walk-in closet that we used for the 2-year-old's daily nap. The surprise of the house is hands down the basement game room! We used every inch of the space, including the pool table, foosball, shuffleboard, game table, big screen TV, fireplace + custom-made wood bar tables. We hosted a wine tasting one night and a buffet dinner another night down in the game room. What a nice, comfortable, spacious home. The owner was super helpful and communicative during our stay. We will be back!

Beautiful Home
We absolutely enjoyed our stay to the fullest. We had 8 adults and 8 children from 3-11. The home is beautiful, the views spectacular, we had plenty of wood for roaring fires inside and outside every day. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Amazing!
A five star rating is simply not enough. The home was perfect. The views were spectacular! I was fortunate to meet Kerstin and can’t say thank you enough for sharing your home and for all of the extras. Kerstin went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. We’re already planning our next trip!

Host profile image
Hi! We are Kerstin and Jeff, and this is our pooch, Scotch. We have lived part time in Vilas since we fell in love with the High Country in 2013. We love cooking, traveling, hiking, exploring, theater, the arts, entertaining and being grandparents to the coolest kid ever.

Why they chose this property

It has been our dream to share our love for this area with visitors for a long time. Lost Ridge Lodge is located in our community, and we purchased it from the original owner who is also a commercial builder. It is a wonderful home with large spaces for big families to come together as well as small spaces for those who want a break. It is conveniently located close to all the wonderful High Country attractions, but you will feel a world away when you return to the Lodge. And we are right here if you need anything at all or have questions. We can't wait to have you as our guests.

What makes this property unique

Incredible mountain views, game room with foosball, pool table, 16' shuffleboard table, ping pong (garage), 3 separate furnished, outdoor living spaces, 2 great rooms, large bedrooms, spacious kids' room that sleeps 8 children, huge gourmet kitchen, private gated community with gravel roads and grassy paths to wander. Pet-friendly.
