A lodge built for groups
One house. One table. One trip together.
Blue Ridge Mountain Lodge is designed for the mountain trips that smaller rentals make difficult: family reunions, multiple families, ski groups, retreats, and long weekends where everyone wants to stay under one roof.
Every bedroom has its own private bathroom, the kitchen is equipped for a crowd, and the dining setup lets the whole group sit down together.

Frequently asked questions
What dates are the pool open?
While the pool season generally runs from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day, the exact opening and closing dates vary each year.

How does the $1,000 security deposit work?
It’s a hold on your card, not a charge, so you may not see it on your statement at all. It’s placed 2 days before arrival and released 7 days after check-out if there’s no damage.
What’s the payment schedule and cancellation policy?
You pay 50% at booking and the balance 60 days before arrival. Cancellation policy: Guest receives 97.00% if cancellation occurs at least 60 days before arrival; 47.00% if cancellation occurs at least 30 days before arrival; no refunds within 30 days of arrival. We highly encourage travel insurance, which we offer at checkout.
What’s the bedroom layout? Is there a bedroom on the ground floor?
The lodge has 9 bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom featuring chair-height toilets. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, although each requires navigating two steps up or down.

The lodge accommodates up to 27 guests and has 9 bedrooms.
Can we host a wedding here?
Unfortunately, our homeowners association (HOA) does not currently allow us to host weddings at the lodge. We hope to offer the lodge as a wedding venue in the future. Thank you for understanding.
What’s provided? Do we need to bring towels, linens, kitchen supplies?

We also provide a starter set of firewood for the outdoor fire pit. If you plan to have several fires during your stay, you can purchase additional firewood nearby.
