About this property

Spectacular Mtn Views-Artfully Decorated. Inviting, Warm & Rustic. Welcome ☀️

The Sun Lodge has spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are tucked away on a private mountain in a gated community. We are 25 minutes from Boone and it's the perfect place to relax. The lodge is just 20 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiking trails surround us. We are about 25 minutes from Wilkesboro as well.

The Wi-Fi is super fast and it makes it easy to work remotely if necessary. Our three story lodge is an OPEN floor plan. (There is only one bedroom with a door) Take the spiral staircase up to the loft nestled in the trees or take the spiral staircase down to the Bear's Lair. The loft has a queen bed and 1/2 bath and private deck with gorgeous views, a sofa and reading chair. The main floor has a well stocked kitchen with many Pampered Chef appliances, fireplace and game table and full bath. The downstairs suite has a comfy wrap around sofa and stereo television, king size bed. Another bedroom has a Queen bed. The downstairs has a full bath with jacuzzi tube. Washer and dryer. Walk out basement to double hammocks. We have several birdfeeders and hummingbird feeders. It is super fun to watch the birds flock and sometimes other critters like squirrels and raccoons.


IMPORTANT: Please note the staircases are spiral and are tight. You will need to watch your step. Please keep this in mind if booking with small children or elderly travelers.

There is a gas grill on the deck for your convenience.

There is a gravel driveway with room for parking multiple cars.

Our community is 3,000 acres with approximately 250 homes. It's private and quiet!

Gorgeous home
Had an amazing time at this cabin above the clouds! The hosts provided everything we needed. The only notes I have is that although listed in the amenities that they have a hot tub, it is actually a bathtub with jacuzzis. If you filter your searches for mountain houses with hot tubs like I did, just be mindful that this one does not have one. Lastly, because it is a mountain home, there were quite a bit of stink bugs that found their way in. They like the warmth so they really loved the up stairs loft. Our friends who took the loft ended up sleeping on the bottom floor with us the last night due to how many there were on the top floor. Had the best weekend with my girls at this house! The fireplace was extra cozy!

Amazing views
Pros - beautiful views - easy drive to get to - very nice cabin and owners added lots of lovely little touches. - felt very homey and relaxing - loved the sitting areas on the porch and lower level Cons - mold in the all the jets in the whirlpool bathtub so we couldn't use it - the kitchen was missing baking dishes liie 9×13 pans to cook with. Luckily we brought some. - spices and condiments need to be restocked . Many were outdated - crockpot needs to be replaced. Cooked unevenly -some supplies were not stocked . Over all we had a very nice stay and would recommend to others

Peace and Beauty
This is perhaps the most peaceful place in the world. The location is incredible. Watching the sunrise over the mountains feels like living inside of a painting. This has quickly become my family's favorite place to visit -- and if you book a trip here, it likely will be yours too.

Why they chose this property

We have loved spending time together in the mountains. We decided to find a get away place for us to relax and unwind. This was the first and only property we looked at. We fell in love right away.

What makes this property unique

One of the reasons we chose our cabin is for its peaceful seclusion and incredible views. With that being said, it will take you about 15 minutes from the gate house to reach The Sun Lodge. We love the winding roads and find it beautiful. Often we encounter deer, raccoons, foxes, and wild turkey.
