Welcome to Appalachian Mountain Lodge!

Appalachian Mountain Lodge is a unique Adirondack-style lodge with over 8,000 square ft. of living and entertaining space. Featuring hardwood floors, tongue-in-groove ceilings, new furniture throughout, updated kitchens and bathrooms, new appliances, new amenities, and more, Appalachian Mountain Lodge is a fantastic option for your next family reunion, corporate retreat, wedding, or other planned and impromptu gatherings. Adjacent cottage rooms offer additional lodging options and can be added to your reservation a la carte.

Please note that there are other cottages on the grounds that are not part of our rental program. They have long-term tenants.

The main level offers a huge chef's kitchen, completely renovated with new floors, cabinets, counters, appliances. The main living room offers comfy seating situated around a huge wood-burning fireplace and HD Smart TV and looks out of a wall of windows that frame long-range mountain views. The adjacent dining room boasts a huge banquet table seating up to 14 guests and a custom live edge bar top along the long inner wall, which seats eight more. Include the three bar stool seats in the neighboring kitchen, and you can accommodate up to 25 guests. The Wormy Chestnut Library, also on the main level, is wrapped with hardwood. Wormy Chestnut built-in cabinets and shelving, vaulted tongue-in-groove ceilings and exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a gorgeous reclaimed wood mantle make this a warm and mature room to enjoy memorable vacation experiences. There is a Twin sleeping chair in the library which makes this another potential sleeping area when needed. The massive wood-burning fireplace makes for a great centerpiece, and the huge HD Smart TV provides yet another entertainment spot as if the other 14 Smart TVs spread throughout the lodge aren't enough!

There are a total of four bedrooms on the main level. The main level sleeping wing features a large King suite, "Secretariat Suite," with a private ensuite full bathroom, built-in desk, large HD Smart TV, and windows that look out to the front lawn and the mountain views. A second bedroom with two Queen beds, HD Smart TV, built-in desk, mountain views, and a third bedroom, "Ruffian Room," with a King bed and HD Smart TV, share a full hallway bathroom with tub and shower combo. There is another full bathroom central to the main level with a large tile shower and a water closet with a sink and toilet next to the Wormy Chestnut Library, making it convenient when using the library as a sleeping room. The fourth main-level bedroom, "Hank's Hacienda," is conveniently and centrally located between the main kitchen and the dining and living rooms. It has a double French-door entry making it ideal for anyone who is disabled or has mobility challenges. It has a door that leads directly out onto the rear patio and windows that look at mountain views. The dedicated handicap bathroom is just feet away from the kitchen. It features a cantilevered sink perfect for roll-up access, a taller toilet with handles for easy leverage, and a roll-in, step-in steam shower with a built-in seat. This is a guest favorite as the water temperature in the steam shower can be digitally adjusted!

Upstairs features the two primary suites. The "Wayne Manor" suite, the primary master suite, boasts over 600 square feet with a King bed, huge HD Smart TV, built-in desk, large sitting area with a loveseat, and a Queen sleeper sofa. The ensuite master bathroom has double vanity with custom tile sinks, a skylight, and a huge soaking tub and shower combo. The "Foolish Pleasure" suite is our secondary master suite with a King bed and a Twin sleeper chair. 'Preakness' also has a large HD Smart TV and a full ensuite bathroom with a tub and shower combo. The upstairs suites feature a wall of large windows that frame the best long-range mountain views available in the lodge.

Downstairs features a large den and game room with an eight-foot slate pool table, a 16-foot shuffleboard table, a foosball table, and a huge HD Smart TV for entertainment. The overstuffed comfy den furniture surrounds a massive brick hearth with a wood box and a wood-burning fireplace. The sofa opens up to provide a Queen sleeper bed. Next to the den is a second kitchen, fully-equipped with a sink, microwave, oven and cooktop, dishwasher, full fridge, and freezer. A three-seat bar top between the lower kitchen and den provides added dining and entertaining space. Down the hallway is the theater room with huge 100-inch projector HD TV and sound, with theater-style reclining seating and comfy bean bags for overflow, and a half bathroom, perfect for family movie-watching, gaming, and sporting events.

There are more bedrooms on the lower level. A Twin bedroom with a Twin trundle bed sleeps two and has another HD Smart TV. This bedroom has a Jack-and-Jill full bathroom with a shower, also accessible from the den. The second bedroom on the lower level is a suite with two Queen beds and a private ensuite full bathroom with tub and shower combo. There is an exterior door from this suite out to the rear courtyard and the hot tub. The rear courtyard features a gas grill and outdoor dining tables on a concrete pad under a covered roof.

The La Nonna suite is on the lower rear corner of the lodge, accessible only from an exterior entrance. This is a quiet and private suite with a King bed, large HD Smart TV, and a full bathroom with a huge tile shower. This is perfect for the couple with young children needing quiet daytime naps or for the mature member of your group needing a little extra space and privacy.

The grounds offer a large, level front lawn, set well off of the quiet residential road, making it a safe and fun place for children to play. The backyard is a rolling, landscaped lawn, perfect for children of all ages to play in, with nearby wooded trails for walking and exploring. The outdoor fire pit is between the lower rear courtyard and tennis court.

The level tree-lined driveway and front parking area offer plenty of parking. If you have a planned event, the staff will work with you to arrange off-site parking and shuttle service for day guests, depending on how many people you are hosting and how many vehicles need to be accommodated.

This lodge is handicap-friendly, has a dedicated level handicapped entry for both the main and lower levels, and offers wide thresholds into the house, the living/dining/kitchen areas, the mudroom, and the lower den and theater room, and the dedicated handicapped bathroom and bedroom.

Good space
We stayed at this property the week before July 4th, the house had enough space for our group of 18 people, the views of the property and the neighbor's horses were amazing. We especially enjoyed the open back yard area where we played many rounds of corn hole and the tennis courts. The temperature was wonderful for the middle of summer so we all enjoyed being outside. We even ate two of our dinners on the back porch as there were 3 tables and plenty of room for us. The kitchen was great for cooking and the bottom level kitchen was helpful for our families sharing this house. We enjoyed our stay, however, this house does need some upgrades. The beds, mattresses, bedding, pillows all need to be upgraded, refreshed and new bedding and linens available. The house was clean, but there were spider webs and could have used a refresh before we got there, looked like it had been cleaned a month or two ago, but not before our stay. We loved the movie room, but there was a really loud noise coming from the HVAC (we think) during the movies, so the back row had a very hard time hearing the movies when this was running.

Family Reunion 2024
23 of us came from NY, TX, CO, IL and PA and met at the house for our family reunion. The house was absolutely perfect and so well stocked with amenities. The pickleball court was a huge hit. The location was perfect for hikes and day trips to Blowing Rock. The agency was extremely communicative and helpful with all our questions and needs. It was a perfect weekend for our crazy crew!

Best spot in Boone for a big group!
We stayed at this property with our son (8) and his friends and their families. The house was great for young kids, lots of room for them to run around and play. But cozy where could all spend time together. The kids loved the tennis court, basement and running around in the back yard. The property is approx 35 mins from Hawks Ridge tubing where we went Saturday and the kids had a blast. We were thrilled to know that Doordash delivers to the property to feed an army of hungry young kids. Everything was clean and well kept, no complaints. We can’t wait to go back!

The Appalachian mountain lodge was the perfect place to celebrate our parents' 50th wedding anniversary. We had family ranging in age from 2 to 77 and the lodge offered comfortable accommodations and enjoyable activities for all!

Verified traveller

The property is as listed and as mentioned they don’t provide extra things.
We had some issues with linens not provided, flat air mattresses and poor mattress conditions for the pullout sofas and trundle bed. They don’t provide extra towels, linens, soap or trash bags if you need those things you have to bring with you. The freezer was also a little dirty. The grass also wasn’t mowed and they showed up to mow during our stay which was odd as we are trying to enjoy sitting on the back porch but someone is mowing the backyard. It can also be a little warm in the house since it is 3 stories and many bodies in the home. It is away from the city so that is nice but the house is next to another house on property and there was a different group renting the house having a birthday party so it was a little loud at times with the neighbors music playing loud.

Beautiful property perfect for a large group
The house was perfect for our large group ranging in ages from infant to 60s, with nearly every age in between. Between the tennis courts, game rooms, theater room, and beautiful porch and view, there was plenty to do. The layout of the house is wonderful and every single room is spacious and comfortable. The property owners and management company were very helpful and made check-in and check-out easy and efficient. There was a small unavoidable issue with the home during our stay, and both owner and manager went out of their way to work everything out for us. I would recommend this home to anyone!

The gift of 2021
This trip was a gift from a beautiful big hearted man, who brought together our family for the first time in some years and after some difficult struggles, was the perfect house and setting. Plenty of space for gathering and connecting as well as for private time and reflections. If you like to bring people together over creating a meal this is your place because it has a fully equipped kitchen. The common spaces provided plenty of ways to bring joy and even more happiness...hot tub, pool table, games, tennis court, surround sound theatre....a perfect vacation. And they lived happily ever after.

Great Large Family Reunion Home
Found this listing online and at first you are a bit scared of what you are going to run into when you arrive. I communicated with Cabin personnel and they really have great communication. Everything was excellent including our arrival and check in was very easy. We all gathered together for Thanksgiving 28 total guest. The home is perfect for this. You feel as if you are in your own personal resort. The home is very well kept and stocked with plenty of items including games for all. The views of the home are amazing. Blue Ridge Mountain View’s. Backyard is so fun! Tennis court with all amenities to play! Theater was the highlight after a long day to gather and watch movies. Overall we would book it again as it really was a family vacation that we will never forget!

wonderful reunion locale
We were a group of 7 families, with kids ranging in age from 4 to 17. The lodge was perfect for us, with plenty of comfortable common areas to visit and enjoy meals together. We like to cook at home and found the kitchen very well appointed with cookware, dishes, and utensils. We used the grill twice and it worked well. We did not use the hot tub because we were pre-occupied with the tennis courts, pool table, table hockey and corn hole. The parents enjoyed visiting on the second story porch and watching the kids on the tennis courts. Wifi worked well and we enjoyed a few DVDs in the movie room. Ceiling fans contributed to a light airy feeling. We hope to return.
