About this property

Blue Moon Lodge: Reconnect with Family and Friends with Room to Spread Out!

Blue Moon is a stunning 6 bedroom, 6 bath (4 full and 2 half baths) just under 4,300 sq. foot lodge with over 4,000 sq. feet of covered porch located in the beautiful Hidden Valley community. It sleeps 26 in beds, with 4 of those spots being 2 pull-out couch beds. With 5 of the bedrooms having king size beds, full dressers and large closets, it's perfect for large groups or multiple families to share and still have plenty of private space. The 'Eagles Nest' is the perfect space for all the kids. Two queen over queen bunk beds, two twin over twin bunk beds a half bath and a TV with DVD player will have them fighting over who gets to stay up there! We have separate A/C units for each level, so you can now control the temperature of each level independently.

The main level has a gourmet kitchen equipped with everything you'll need to cook that award winning meal for the entire group. The open kitchen/living room lets the cook be part of all the activity even while preparing their masterpiece! If grilling is your specialty, you'll love to be on cooking duty with our 6 burner propane grill (propane provided). With indoor seating for 16 and multiple outdoor tables, there's plenty of room for everyone to eat at the same time.

Head down to the lower level and let the fun begin! The game room is equipped with a pool table, air hockey table, ping pong, darts, and foosball. The main gathering space has 3 full size couches, a kitchenette with full size refrigerator, stove, microwave and corner bar. There are plenty of board games, card games and movies to entertain for hours.

If the inside space isn't enough, move on out to the 4,000+ sq. feet of covered porch. With breathtaking views of Crabtree Bald, hot tub, tons of rocking chairs, tables, games, etc., you may not want to go back inside! Start a camp fire at the large fire pit and let the stories begin. If the chairs are not already around the fire pit, they should be stacked underneath the porch just to the side of it.

The location of this lodge allows you to enjoy the tranquility of the smoky mountains while still being close to Asheville, Waynesville, and Maggie Valley, Max Patch, Hot Springs and more! We are surrounded by a multitude of mountain activities such as hiking, zip lines, white water rafting, tubing, fishing, waterfalls, skiing, and elk viewing. The amazing Biltmore Mansion is only 35 miles away. Harrah's Cherokee Casino and Ocanaluftee Indian Village are within a scenic hour drive. You can also enjoy the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg, TN which can be reached in about 1 1/2 hours.

Please note, this is our family's home. We are very dedicated to keeping this lodge extremely well equipped and will continue to improve the amenities so that you will want to come back year after year. However, in order to do this, we need quality and like minded renters. If you are looking for a great home away from home, we'd love to share ours with you! If you're looking for a place to drink excessively, play loud music, let the kids run wild, or have a crazy uncle Bob that likes to shoot guns off the porch, please go ahead and mark this rental off your search!!

We have a ring doorbell camera installed near the front door that covers the front exterior of the property.

We are located in a quiet mountain community with many local residents. We observe community outside quiet hours of 10:00 pm to 7:00 am. Violation of this noise ordinance may result in immediate termination of your stay with no refund.

Blue Moon is accessible by wheelchair via the ramp, however only the main level is accessible, as the upper and lower levels are only accessible via stairs. The driveway is gravel as well, in case that may pose any issues.

Please respect the speed limit and other drivers on the road up the mountain. Due to potential snow in the winter months, trip insurance and/or 4 wheel drive is highly recommended for winter rentals.

By choosing to book this property, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE that if you choose not to purchase travel insurance, we cannot be responsible to refund any portion of your stay for cancellations within the non-refundable time periods.

Awesome place for a family getaway

We had a blast, the home was beautiful and well maintained. There are comments about the internet, however we all enjoyed the separation from the tech world and it created an environment for us to be present and enjoy each other. Would definitely book again.

It was a great cabin, plenty of room. The TV's in the bedrooms were out dated and not all had DVD players. The AC upstairs did not work properly. For the price i paid, i thought the organization of the kitchen was terrible. It was misc. Pots and pans. The counters were dirty when we arrived.

Yearly getaway

Blue moon was a great experience for my group. It’s divided into two homes with the eagles nest on the upper level. The wrap around porches were a hit with all of the guys. Spacious and well equipped; I would definitely recommend this one for every age group. Thanks for letting us enjoy your Home !!!!

Family mountain reunion

Our daughters and their families headed to this cabin to reconnect. This cabin was spacious and the location was serene. The mountains were majestic. The kitchen was well equipped, beds we’re comfortable, the game room areas kept the kiddos of all ages entertained. The cabin was within an hour drive to Ashville and hiking areas. I cannot say enough about how great the hosts were!!!

Perfect for Groups

We stayed with a group of teenagers and it was the perfect place. Plenty of room to spread out. The first floor had the game area, a small kitchen, 2 bedrooms with king sized beds and two bathrooms. The second/main floor had 3 bedrooms with king beds and 2 1/2 bathrooms. The third floor housed the bunk room and another half bath. The house was well appointed with everything we needed. Communication with the homeowners was wonderful. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and were quick to respond with any questions.

Great cabin for a large group

There was ample room for our family gathering at this cabin. The owner had great communication both before and during our stay. The WiFi password was not located where the owner said it would be located, but with a quick phone call to the local hosts, the password was provided. Check out time listed on the site said 11am, but in reality it is 10am. Our group really loved the pool table and the large deck. Overall, a nice place to stay with a large group.

Plenty of room

Pros: The house is very large. Comfortable beds for people. We comfortably fit 4 vehicles there. 2 Large open kitchen and living room areas on lower and middle floor! Great for family time! Large wrap around porches with plenty of space for cooking/eating/etc. Owners were friendly and called to let us know we could check in early! They had 2 high chairs that were a huge help for us. Fun pool table, Hot tub and ping pong. Cons: Wifi was not the best. The satellite TVs didn’t work great either and zero cell service at the cabin….but sometimes that isn’t always a bad thing! Air hockey table didn’t blow air very well but still usable.

Close to Neighbors

Although, my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our time together at this property, I feel that others need to know how close this giant house is to the neighbors. It is no way “secluded” like other reviewers have stated. The closest neighbor is about 20 yards away from the hot tub. Which means if 15 adults are just having a conversation, the noise will carry and can be a disturbance. We received a noise complaint at 2:30 in the afternoon, asking us to keep it down. Even though quiet hours for the home are posted as 10pm-7am which we complied with. We went down and talked with the neighbor, Ted, who was very understanding but also quite frustrated that this enormous house that sleeps 26 people is literally in his back yard. I would not recommend this home for those looking to enjoy a good time with friends or family.

Hot tub did appear to be clean and chemicals correct but we did not use.Loved the view and the cabin and it worked great for us. We are a church motorcycle group from Savannah and the intense ride up the mountain will prohihibit us from returning; however, we will are interested again with family when we do not bring bikes. Quite sketchy on motorcycles.

A trip away with friends

We loved the lodge. We used it as a home base for activities during a bachelor party. Great golf nearby, paintball nearby, we even had a private chef come in for an evening. The lodge was perfect for a large group, it was a blast. Brett is a thoughtful host who took care of any issues we had quickly.

Pros definitely outweighed the cons

Christmas vacation with the family (4 families technically) was amazing at Blue Moon Lodge. The host were amazing with communication. We didn't want to eat out so each family had days to cook so we had a ton of food. Having two kitchens was extremely helpful. The was so much space for all of us to spread out and come together. The adults turned into kids as we played downstairs in the game area. Every morning we had plenty of space to do yoga before breakfast. And of course everyone favorite was the outside. Hot tub overlooking the beautiful mountain view, wrap around deck to relax or take stunning pictures was just the best. Unfortunately, I had a few issues. The floors were dirty and desperately needed to be swept. The towels and wash rags probably need to be replaced. The dishes, silverware and cooking appliances were a struggle to use at times because they were old and worn out. I didn't expect to have high end kitchen tools but some of the appliances, silverware, etc. need some attention. Also, the chairs in the dining room/bar need some station as well. But none of that ruined our vacation. This place has plenty of space and amenities to keep us entertained. Would definitely return to this beautiful cabin. The pictures do not do this place justice. Thank you again Brett and Stephanie. My family had an amazing time at your lovely home.

Biltmore Christmas

There were 14 of us total and no one was even close to cramped. The house is set up to accommodate large groups and provides plenty of entertainment even if you can’t get out. We use it as a home base and it was great. The owners were more than accommodating keeping in touch with us along the way.

Great Time!

Our young adult ministry has used this home for two years now, and we love the property and location! It is close enough to several unique mountain towns but secluded enough and big enough to spread out and unplug and have a great time together. The owners are very helpful and quick to respond with any questions you may have!

The Best “Framily” Getaway

This was the perfect home to host a short getaway with a group of friends. Five small families (each with 1-2 young children) all stayed together, and it was SO comfortable. The rooms are spacious, the living areas were open, and FIVE KING BEDS was the cherry on top. We had room to spread out without anyone feeling isolated. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and the wide variety of entertainment options kept everyone happy. The only negative we could find about the property was that the drive in was a tight gravel road that was pretty steep. It didn’t give us any trouble, but also isn’t ideal for anxious drivers (or passengers!). But honestly, the view was worth it! This also isn’t the best location if you absolutely need to have access to cell service. A landline is available in the cabin though and you can get service within a mile or so of the house. Overall, fantastic home in a beautiful location with everything you might need. If this house is available, we will 100% return for another vacation with friends!
