Sweetwater Lodge is the quintessential family gathering place! A model home by True North Log Homes, the property is tastefully decorated with 5 bedrooms (with an additional daybed and trundle in the upstairs media room), 4.5 bathrooms and three dedicated gathering areas. All of the mattresses and bedding were recently upgraded at Sweetwater Lodge with a Casper Wave Hybrid in the main level bedroom and Leesa Hybrid mattresses in all of the other bedrooms. Each bedroom (except the Lower Level King which is on backorder) and living spaces has been updated with a Sonos sound/speaker bar and brand new, 4K Samsung large screen smart TV complete with YouTube TV, Netflix, Disney Plus and HBO Max. A house iPad controls the Nest Thermostats and house Sonos speakers/sound system. Sweetwater Lodge has gorgeous mountain views and an expansive two acre front yard for games and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Guests are provided with a solo stove for fires (as well as all of the s'mores fixings) and the outdoor hot tub is the perfect way to end a busy day! The house is fully stocked with all of the standard amenities - sheets, towels, toiletries, and laundry supplies, and has multiple ANKER charging stations/cords throughout the house. Sweetwater Lodge's chef's kitchen offers a gas cooktop and is stocked with All Clad cookware, Keurig and Nespresso coffee makers, Breville toaster oven/air fryer, and all necessary cooking utensils and staples. The Weber Grill on the deck is perfect for summer grilling!! Just bring your suitcases!!! Floor plans, including bed sizes, are included at the end of the photos.

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.

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!

Family in town for a wedding.

Fantastic property that accomodated 6 generations of family, some whom traveled as far away as Australia. The house is very well appointed, spotless, and with a view that has to be seen to be appreciated. Thank you for an outstanding stay at Sweetwater.

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!

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!

Great family vacation!

There were ten of us and the house fit us perfectly. Lots of room for everyone to spread out and get together. Grandkids got to see fireflies for the first time. Also saw a bobcat in the yard. Had a great time exploring the area, Ashville, Black Mountain, Biltmore and even did a walk with llamas at Earthshine Lodge. Property manager was very responsive.

Best VRBO ever

The home is gorgeous in a spectacular setting. It has everything one needs. As usual, we took some specialty utensils and pans, but they weren't needed. Ashley is a great communicator and the check in was so easy. We appreciated the information provided in advance and made reservations at Chef's Table in Waynesville. If you like wonderful food in a cozy dining room, don't miss it. Hopefully, we will be able to return to Sweetwater Lodge.

Week of family Joy

This spacious home combines beauty and comfort in its interior and exterior. The huge round table dining with large lazy-susan gave our large family “community”, joy and face to face time together. Whether watching sunsets or playing pool; children with lots of deck time and bubble maker; 1000 piece puzzle jointly accomplished…all of us would like to return to this amazing Sweetwater Lodge!

Fantastic property

Everything was first class. The view, the privacy, all the creature comforts. The house was completely furnished and even the pantry and refrigerator were stocked. There were 2 kegs of beer with taps near the hot tub and fire pit. There are games, books, puzzles and a pool table. You never have to leave.

Sweetwater Lodge

We spent 4 night at Sweetwater Lodge celebrating my wife's birthday. We were joined by our adult children and 3 grandchildren. This home was perfect for our party of 10. We were close enough to Asheville and the airport but pleasantly removed from the hustle of the city. Great place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful mountains views. This was a re-energizing 4 days. The hosts were great to work with and answered all my questions (and there were plenty) promptly and graciously. Highly recommend this property!!!

XMAS VACATION

We were lucky enough to find this house after our original house cancelled on us. This house lacks nothing. Ashley was easy to work with and provided more detail about the house and surrounding area then any other property we have dealt with over the years. Convenient to both The Biltmore and The Polar Express. My grandkids tell me we are going back next Christmas. We will see if we can make that work. Definitely a house everyone should consider.
