Welcome to Bald Mountain Lodge!
Bald Mountain Lodge is a charming, three-level mountain lodge with 5 sleeping areas and 3.5 baths, nestled on a large, private, wooded property with picturesque mountain views in the Todd area, less than a mile from the New River, and only 10 miles from Boone. West Jefferson is less than 14 miles away. Hiking, cycling, fishing, kayaking, tubing, white water rafting, and more are conveniently nearby.
The main level of Bald Mtn Lodge features an open-concept great room, dining area, and kitchen with wood floors, vaulted, tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, and exposed beams. A huge wood-burning fireplace is centered in a stacked-stone wall with an HD Smart TV atop the mantle. Comfy leather furniture, additional seating, and reclaimed-wood coffee and side tables complete the great room. A wall of glass windows and doors opens up unobstructed layered mountain views, including Bald Mountain and Elk Ridge. Dine up to 10 guests comfortably at the banquet-style dining table with extension. Two more can sit at the adjacent kitchen island for a total of 12 seats. The kitchen features stainless appliances, granite counters, and hickory cabinets. A half bath/powder room is central and convenient, and the open-air deck spans the length of the house, wrapping around the side, features outdoor seating, a stainless gas grill, and an outdoor picnic dining table, all of which look out at the picturesque mountain views.
Also on the main level is a generous King master suite with exposed beams and tongue-in-groove wood ceilings, glass doors leading out onto a side deck with Adirondack armchairs, a cozy sitting area with a comfy armchair and side table, an HD Smart TV, and a fantastic ensuite master bathroom with a large slate tile shower and a garden-style soaking tub.

This house is totally worth it. Loved every bit of the experience. Would 100% book again.
Excellent views and a wonderful space to share with family in the heat of the summer. Looking forward to next visit.
As the title indicates, this was truly a very tranquil home and location. Well appointed with everything you need! We loved everything about it! Will keep this place in mind for future visits to the Boone area!
Open floor plan offers room to spread out especially with extended family with young children. Fire pit was a big hit and privacy was an added bonus!
I was excited to be checking in for our 3 night stay and received a call/voicemail from the property mgmt company at 2:30 pm that housekeeping would not be ready for 4 pm check in. That was a bit disappointing, as I waited for a confirmation call that the property was ready at 5 pm that never came (I had to call and let them know at 5:20 that we were just going to go). The initial impression was that the house was beautiful and well-appointed, and the view did not disappoint. However, I did have to go through the entire home with cleaning wipes, Lysol spray (the carpet in the stairway to the basement had a bit of a smell) and a wet Swiffer to feel comfortable with my family walking around with socks or bare feet (I used six floor pads, and they were all dirty). The house definitely appeared clean to the naked eye, but could use a deep clean. There were no shortage of spiderwebs and dead bugs in the rafters, wall corners, and deck spaces. I was extremely disappointed when we found that the previous renters had left an overloaded dishwasher full of dishes that had not been run before they left, because housekeeping should have caught that, and we had to spend time reorganizing and washing someone else’s dishes. The shower in the downstairs bathroom did not function properly and the drains in the main and upstairs bathroom were extremely slow, (I put in a call about this and never received a response to my request for service). Besides all of this, the house had all that we needed for our stay, amazing views for watching the sun rise, and was conveniently located to shopping and restaurants in Boone. I would definitely recommend, but with the caveat that you should bring bug spray and be prepared to clean to enjoy all of the house.
We had a great time. The weather didn’t always cooperate, but we still had a blast with the air hockey and shuffleboard and darts. The kids even played Pitfall on the Atari like we did when we were kids. We were able to have s’mores outside at the fire pit and it was cold enough to build a fire indoors for a cozy night. Great house and view.
We loved this house and will definitely go back!!
Great reconnecting with girlfriends who are all in a busy season of our lives. We never left the house but to take walks. We had an amazing time and we will be back!
We will be back for sure!!
This property exceeded my expectations. We will definitely be back next year. The only reason I did not rate this property with 5 stars is because during our stay it snowed 6-8 inches and there wasn’t any snow shovels provided. Needless to say we were trapped in the house for 2 full days. Please note that if you are planning a trip here the driveway is steep. 4 wheel drive was not helpful when it’s covered with snow.
