Pet Friendly/Ez on/off highway
Overall this property worked well for our crew and our 2 4 legged family members. It was easy to clean and the kitchen came equipped with the basics we needed to eat in when we needed. The lodge is easy to get to and did offer flat space to walk our dogs. There was a small creek size body of water behind the property. Times when there was less highway noise you could hear the water. Hot tub was located in the back of the house and was private. There were no views of the mountains, however grandfather mountain was a short drive. Property located about 15 minutes from Mast General store, close by the ski resorts and other attractions. Overall I would stay here again and I will definitely be using Blue Ridge for our other stays.

Great modern cabin
Beautiful home with perfect location. Great views from the deck and the hot tub was great. Very close to main road so no issues with getting in and out of the weather turns bad. No issues with checking or check out. Property manager was great with communication. Would definitely stay again.
