Welcome to Mountain Family Lodge!
Mountain Family Lodge is a unique property just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Boone and Blowing Rock and close to Appalachian Ski Mountain and Tweetsie Railroad. Mountain Family Lodge can accommodate up to twenty-eight (28) guests among seven (7) suites. Three of the suites have alcove rooms with twin beds. There is a living room on the first floor with a queen sofa bed. Nine (9) full bathrooms and two (2) updated kitchens with ample dining options make this suitable for larger groups.
*We do permit large events here, however, we do not assist in facilitating or coordinating such events. The owner permits them on a case-by-case basis, and an event coordinator will work with you on the details. Planned events such as weddings and events that will accommodate large groups of visitors and parking must receive advanced approval and will incur an additional event impact fee of $2500. Please indicate the "Event Impact Fee" when booking online, or let us know of your plans if booking over the phone. We can then contact the owner for approval, and complete the reservation by applying the event impact fee.
*The neighboring Appalachian Mountain Lodge with its nine (9) bedrooms and two (2) cottages can be rented along with this property for large events, accommodating as many as seventy (70) total guests.
Mountain Family Lodge offers two living rooms, a media room, and a pool table area for numerous gathering points. Outside offers a wrap-around deck with outdoor dining, a large covered courtyard, a hot tub, an outdoor fire pit, a nicely landscaped yard, and two grills, gas and charcoal. Parking is available for up to eight (8) vehicles, and the surrounding woods and mountain roads offer ample walking and hiking trails. In 2018 the second floor received an HVAC system with central heating. Since 2019 each bedroom on the first floor now has a mini-split HVAC unit and heat. The entire house also has radiant heat within the flooring to make those winter nights extra toasty.
The interior is an upscale, contemporary mountain design. Furniture is updated, and there are comfortable beds of all sizes. The house has hardwood floors, kitchens with granite counters and updated appliances, flat-panel HDTVs with Charter Cable programming, and WiFi internet. There is one washer/dryer set for guests to use. The comfortable media room offers a screen and projector for cable TV and a blue ray player. The sunroom on the second floor has a large flat-screen TV and plenty of comfortable seating. The primary dining area can seat up to twenty (20) guests comfortably, and each kitchen also has a dining room that can seat up to 14 additional guests. The 8-foot slate pool table, which converts to a dining table, is in a central area of the house with soaring ceilings and a cupola allowing in natural sunlight overhead.

The media room also offers comfortable seating, a full-size pullout couch for the kids, and a 75" TV with a sound bar, and a DVD player. You may plug in your Xbox using your own HDMI cable. Please restore the cable inputs to their original location so that the next guest can enjoy the same experience.

Centered in the upper level is the dramatic cupola with towering ceilings and high windows allowing in natural light. Underneath it is the 8-foot slate pool table. A custom wooden top converts the pool table into a dining table seating fourteen (14) guests. Adjacent to it is a second dining table that can seat six (6) to eight (8) more guests. There is also a dining area in each of the two (2) kitchens seating six (6) and eight (8). With all four (4) tables, you can dine up to thirty-four (34) guests inside.
Outside, in addition to the deck and the covered stone courtyard, you will find a wonderful wood-burning fire pit, a hot tub, and we are currently constructing a new outdoor dining and cooking patio, which will be a big hit!
Overall great home. Tons of room, which was great. The water pressure on the well system is a bit of an inconvenience, but it was stated in the home the water pressure issue. Otherwise decently clean. A couple of minor house issues, but the cabin rental manager was nice about my report.
My friends stayed here for our annual Tweetsie trip we take with our kids. There were 11 adults and 10 kids ranging from 4 months to 7 years old. We loved the layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms. Each family had privacy and space when needed. The outdoor space is incredible. Loved how we could all sit at that huge patio table together at the same time! There is a grassy area for the kids to run around and a beautiful fire pit. There were some issues with the house that didn't totally disrupt our stay but would want to make sure they were addressed, hence the knock off one star. I contacted the rental company about these. We had a host on call via text and phone who was very friendly and responsive! Perfect location for Tweetsie, Alpine Roller Coaster, Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, Boone, and all the highlights.
I would definitely stay again. It is not easy finding homes that can accommodate a large group with many bedrooms. Check in process was great and with a personal greeting. House was clean with plenty of space for my group of 12 coworkers.
Location was gorgeous it was the perfect backdrop to say our vows. The host was so sweet and accommodating. Looking forward to renting again.
We’ll do this again.
Just as billed. Great place for a large group. Endless beds and sleeping spaces
The house was not clean when we checked in. One bed had mold on the sheets and had to be washed before use. There were fluids spilled on the pool table, the stairs, and down the stairway walls that were not cleaned up. Most dishes needed to be washed before use and were in bad shape. We were told that we would have all of the dishes needed to prepare the meals, but there were no pots that were usable for the task. The washer was moldy and had to be bleached before use. There was no vacuum on-site for cleanup. We were very disappointed in the state of the house.
Everything was good. Loved Moriah. She was a great help.
It was a pleasure working with Carolina Cabin Rentals. They were extremely professional before, during, and after the rental was completed. We were able to reach out to a host individual that answered all our questions and provided us with immediate feedback when necessary. My three-star rating reflects the rental property itself. The house is beautiful and has tremendous potential. It was obvious some renovations were done to improve this beautiful property. IE: deck repairs, outdoor steps, kitchen ceiling, new bathroom. While the house can sleep 12, quarters will be tight. The whole house needs a major deep clean...even more so considering we are amid the COVID crisis. We experienced a strong musty odor in the meeting room on the second floor. Enough so that we didn't use that room. The furniture should also be updated as it is not comfortable and contain odors and food debris. We detected strong odors in each kitchen. It took a while but we realized those smells came from the PLASTIC garbage containers! Crumbs and dirty stained paper towels were found underneath the bags that lined the containers. The containers were never cleaned prior to our visit. Utensils in both kitchens were worn, warped, or damaged. They all must be replaced to be considered useable. We washed all utensils prior to using them as they did not look clean. Coupled with that problem, is the dishwasher which should be replaced as it did not clean the dishes well at all. One TV separated from the wall mount and hung haphazardly for 36 hours after notification. The light/fan in the upstairs suite was not in working order. The bathrooms contained a build-up of grime on shower stalls and sinks. It's a great house but is out-dated and lacks cleanliness. Future rentals should be halted until these issues can be addressed. It will take more than a cleaning individual to do the job. It needs professional cleaning to address long-term neglect. I do hope this review will not be posted for others to view. My intent is not to hurt the owner or Carolina Cabin Rentals. It's to bring light to a problem that can be corrected. If it must be posted, please just use the review of Carolina Cabin Rentals. Thank you. Ginny Alger
