Family Mountain Lodge on 70 acres near Waynesville and Asheville

Our extended family of 8 had a fantastic long weekend at the lodge. The place has a great space to hang together by a fire - great kitchen to have snacks and easy to prepare meals. The space around the house was a lot of fun to walk around -- everyone had a great time. Even went to the around the corner golf club to have a nice sit down lunch. Very nice setup.

Our favorite place to rent!

This is the best VRBO property that we have ever had. It is comfortable with lots of amenities. It is spacious with lots of room to congregate. We were having a reunion at the nearby Springdale Golf Resort and lots of family dropped by our house to visit. This is the second time we have rented the house and we will probably rent it again for the next reunion in 2027.

We have been renting houses for Christmas for years now and this one is perfect. Some of my crew is getting older and a couple have serious knee issues. I have never found this size of house all on one level before. The view is grandiose. We live in the mountains and the ascension can be quite tricky. This was fantastic. Every commodity you can think of or necessity/want is handled. Communication is instant. House is comfortable and specious. If wanted kids can be in one room , adults in another. My husband enjoyed the fire pit to sit at and the dock to throw fishing poles off. The ambiance of the fireplace and the whole property was just perfect for my loved ones. Thank you for making it happen for us. Annette

Our family loved this lodge and we had a delightful stay! The property, the house, the views, the ponds, the river, were all so much fun for us. You could spend the entire time there without going anywhere and have the BEST, most relaxing stay!! The river was so much fun for our small children because it was low enough & slow enough for them to safely wade in and play. The grand fireplace was truly enjoyed making our s’mores inside a couple evenings instead of having our little ones close to the pond after dark. I would like to say that the lighting could be improved and the older rugs were tripped over multiple times in the living room as they seem to slide easily. We made many amazing memories at the East Fork Ranch Lodge and we would highly recommend. ~A happy family clan of 11 from PA & AL….

Perfect house for our family- 7 adults and 6 children (ages 18 months to 12).

Property manager was very responsive. The property was beautiful, and the house large and fit our needs very well. The WiFi was very weak and needs some improvements. We loved the place but were very disappointed that noisy, busy construction was ongoing right next to our bedrooms. We had not been alerted about this, and it was not quiet and peaceful. Very disappointing.

If it works to come back sometime, we would never choose anywhere else to stay! Highly recommend!

The photos of this property does not do it justice. The lodge and property is absolutely amazing. We were able to fish on property, amazing hiking trails were a short distance away. If your looking for a peaceful place to getaway to, look no further!

What a wonderful property. It had everything we needed and plenty of space for gathering, bonfires with smores, and walks along the river. Thank you for being so accommodating for our family. We hope to be back.
