Very clean and stocked with everything you need for a large family. “ rustic charm” can mean poor quality sometimes, but this house has been built with quality in mind and decorated in the same way.

We loved our stay at Sweetwater Lodge! It was the perfect halfway point between Asheville and our daughter’s wedding venue. The host was incredibly responsive—from my initial inquiry through our departure. If we ever travel to the area with a large group again, this would definitely be our first choice. The lodge offered plenty of space to spread out, as well as quiet areas to relax and enjoy some time to yourself. It was also conveniently close to restaurants and grocery stores, making our stay even more comfortable.

The property was incredible!! When it says 'fully stocked', it definitely was with so many supplies. We are were so thrilled with the property, we are considering booking again for next year, even though we like to check out new places. Our host was amazing! She responded immediately to any questions or requests. We even had a power outage one night and she notified us almost immediately. Thank you so much for such a wonderful vacation!!

Our Own Mountain Oasis

Thank you, Ashley, for providing the perfect Carolina home away from home. Our family of six had plenty of room and plenty of fun. From the hot tub to the pool table to s’mores at the fire pit, we had our own mountain oasis. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. The house was fully stocked with kitchen essentials, toiletries, and more. Sweetwater Lodge with its mountain view and luxury living was our great escape.

Lovely luxury rental property

We had a great stay at the Sweetwater Lodge. The house itself is beautiful and it was well equipped for cooking, etc….it even had a Vitamix. It’s in a beautiful area pretty close to Asheville but more secluded. Ashley (our host) was very attentive to our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Gorgeous Cabin Get Away

My family and I had the most wonderful week stay at Sweetwater Lodge! We all stayed we’ve never stayed in a rental property that has been so well-appointed and felt so home-y and SO clean. It’s decorated perfectly, has all kinds of modern technology (we LOVED the Sonos system) and amazing amenities. Ashley is amazing at communicating and making sure we had everything we needed. It’s a great location to drive to downtown Asheville.We 100% recommend staying there!

Ashley has thought of everything! Plenty of room for 3 generations/3 families. Plenty of room for all ten of us to congregate particularly at the huge round table, but also lots of cozy nooks for “me time”. Beautifully decorated!

Majestic mountain retreat, family togetherness

This turned out to be a beautiful experience. The guidance and quick response to all our questions and concerns by our host, Ashley, made this an unforgettable trip. The house was magnificent and its location ideal for us. It was roomy and exceptionally well outfitted. The one tiny issue we had, locating an item in the house, was promptly and pleasantly responded to. I would, though, recommend some heavy carpeting to alleviate the transmission of noise, from floor to floor, especially in the bedrooms. I would recommend the property overall to anyone looking for a luxurious stay in the North Carolina mountains.

Bday Celebration

Annual birthday trip to mountains. Sweetwater Lodge by far the best house we have stayed in. Perfect size for our group with great amenities. The host Ashley could not have been more friendly and responsive to any questions. The house is absolutely beautiful with a great kitchen and amazing gathering areas. If I could give this house a 10 I would. Our entire group was thrilled with everything inside and out. Terrific location. Thanks for listing this house.
