Great lodge
This is second visit to Blue Ridge Mountain Lodge with a group of friends and this place is just awesome. The lodge is spacious and has everything you need to accommodate a large number of people. The bedrooms are comfortable, the kitchen is the ideal size for cooking meals and the dining area big enough to accommodate the large number of people we had in the group. The firepit area is great which is where the group spends a lot of time together. I am already looking at dates for a 3rd visit in 2026. My friends have all told me I have found the perfect place!!!

Perfect place for a big family gathering!
Conveniently located 15 minutes to Boone, large enough to hold our large family of 16 comfortably. Loved the long live-edge custom tables in the large dining area, well equipped kitchen, hot tubs, fire pit, pool table and games. Coordination with owner was excellent, easy to get a hold of and wanted us to have the best stay pissible. Would not hesitate to rent again!!
We had a great stay and the host was more then accommodating during the stay, the kitchen has everything you need for big groups, and the house as a whole is great for multiple families kids included. Would recommend and stay again

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!

Perfect weekend away
We loved the lodge! It was perfect for a 3-day weekend in the mountains. In the mountains yet close to things to do. It had everything we needed for a group of 9 couples. We really liked that every room had en suite bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked. The outside area was perfect for a fire & enough space in 2 hot tubs for a lot of us. Really enjoyed the woods and hiking right behind the house. Would def come back!

Fabulous Getaway!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin! We brought a group from our church and the accommodations were wonderful. Mike took great care of us and communicated before, during and after our stay. The sledding hill behind the house was a huge hit and a big surprise! We will definitely be returning!
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.
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!
We were a group of 8 couples and we really liked this place as it’s in great location though in mountains still close to main road and 8 miles to Boone downtown
Property had 9 bedrooms with attached bathrooms which was very important for us
Mike the property manager was very responsive
this is our second time
Strongly recommended
We have stayed here every Labor Day weekend for the past few years and we love it! easy to get great hikes, or you can just stay in the neighborhood and enjoy swimming, tennis, fishing, or a campfire!

Spacious Retreat!
Great house for a large group. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out!
A great place to stay for large groups. Fee schedule is different, and the minimum length of stay is longer than most because it is bigger than just a house. We had a wonderful time and the space worked well for our needs.

Family of 16, 14 adults and 2 children
This lodge is a neat fun place to have family gatherings. Our 3rd year and with the new hot tubs, always something new to enjoy. The childen's room is perfect to keep them occupied until their parents awake. The family gathering area for conversations together, is perfect. Lots to do in the area, to visit and enjoy hiking, climbing and exploring.

Perfect for our large family!
This is our second time visiting this lodge and I have to say the Blue Ridge Mountain Lodge is AMAZING! It is perfect for our large family. We had 23 this time! We love that every bedroom has a bathroom. There are plenty of seats in the dining room and the kitchen is large and fully stocked with everything you might need! There are so many thoughtful touches throughout the lodge. We also loved the coffee bar! It snowed while we were there and the kids in our group loved the sleds. Also the hot tubs were clean and the perfect temperature! It’s the perfect place for our yearly family snowboard trip to sugar and beech mountain.
