Scenic Mountain Lodge near Activities

We had a great time at the house! A little disappointed with the dust and stuff but not a big deal. There was a full dishwasher when we arrived that we had to unload, but again, not a big deal. Overall, we had a great time! Thank you!

We had a wonderful long weekend getaway with another family. Our first day was cool and rainy, and not leaving this beautiful house was not a problem! It is stocked with games, a hot tub, ping pong, and anything you could want to keep busy, relax, cook, and catch up! The next day we had beautiful weather and had a great time hiking nearby. The only hitch was the check in process where our code we were emailed did not work so we called the management company who then needed to put in another call to the property manager and we were locked out waiting for a bit until they could call us back and resolve it. They said none of their property codes were working that day due to wifi issues.

Sunset Lodge is just an amazing place to get away from it all. Very comfortable, great location, and great views. We are already looking forward to a return visit!

Lovely home and views but the singles bedroom only has two beds not three. There was a twin mattress on the floor with no sheets for it or the sofa bed. The local management co was attentive and delivered sheets the second day. I think the listing should remove the three single bed icon as it was misleading. No adults want to sleep on the floor and we rented this place expecting a trundle or bed . The driveway is extremely steep. Take the four wheel drive suggestion seriously in cold weather!!! We had to scrape ice off driveway for over an hour(with a 4WD vehicle).

My 15-year-old son and I had a wonderful time staying at this property. Because we come to the NC mountains quite often we weren’t looking to do a lot of tourist activities. We were looking for a truly restful and restorative long weekend and that is exactly what we had. Twice we hiked the stretch of the Mountain-to-Sea trail (MST) that is right by the house (about 3.5 miles round trip and thankful the info about the trail was on the fridge at the house!) and once we went into Boone and had lunch and wandered through shops. Otherwise we were content to have late breakfasts sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch looking at the spectacular view (my personal favorite) and cozy dinners in front of the fire while watching football on TV. I would absolutely rent this house again and highly recommend it but take it seriously when they say the driveway is super steep. (The price you pay for the amazing view at the top!) I definitely recommend coming to the house with an SUV or truck with a higher road clearance. I was driving my Yukon and coming down the steep driveway and turning onto the road I swear the underside of my front bumper scraped the road LOL. And even with my four-wheel-drive I would not attempt that driveway without chains if there was snow!! The first day we walked down to get to the MST and my 15-year-old son who plays lacrosse felt uncomfortable walking straight down the driveway and instead zig-zagged back-and-forth. But then again we are from flat Florida. ?

Awesome cabin for our group of 8. We really enjoyed the room we had in the cabin and the setting of the cabin. More positive than negatives and we would and probably will rent this location again. Two things to improve upon would be hot tub size - very small and really only large enough for two people, maybe three. If I owned the cabin this would be my first priority to increase my renters experience. The second thing would be a larger grill. It was cold, snow everyday which we loved. It was hard for all of us to use the grill in a timely manner. Lastly, when we got there the driveway and steps had far more than three inches of snow. We clear throughout the weekend but it would have been appreciated if the leasing company had someone out to clear the steps and driveway prior to us arriving. My wife is very pregnant and the steps going up to the front door we're to hazardous for her to use.

We had a great stay and will recommend this home to others. Beautifully furnished and very well-appointed, and really appreciated the Christmas Tree and decorations. It made for the perfect Winter vacation!

Perfect house, perfect location!

Wonderful visit, breathtaking views. Every need was anticipated, such as convenient outlets for plugging in phone chargers, lighting was plentiful. Would love to stay there regularly. This would be a fabulous cabin for holiday gatherings.

This is by far the BEST cabin rental we have ever had! Not only is the home warm and inviting, spacious and clean but extremely well built and maintained! Beds and pillows are comfy. There was plenty of room for 4 adult couples to stretch out and lounge around. The kitchen was PERFECT!!! Well equipped with everything we needed and then some! Large dining table with plenty of seating for 8. The view from this house was spectacular! We appreciated the high quality outdoor rockers and Weber grill. It was so peaceful sitting outside watching the sunset and the moon rise! The location of the home was great! I can't say enough about it.!! Pictures don't do it justice!! It's even better than we had imagined! We have all agreed to rebook the Sunset Lodge for our next get-a-way!
