Property details

Welcome to your private mountain getaway at Cranberry View Lodge! Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Avery County with no other homes immediately in sight, this beautiful home offers spectacular mountain views! Enter the home with just 2 steps up from the gravel parking area. The great room features a dining table for 8 to your right, and to your left is a spacious kitchen with granite counters, custom cabinets, and Samsung and Frigidaire stainless steel appliances including a double oven. A few steps further takes you into the living room, where the focal point is a beautiful wood burning fireplace with river rock running from the hearth all the way to the ceiling. Leather furniture is arranged facing the fireplace which has a TV mounted above it. Downstairs is a game den offering a 7' long convertible pool table, ready for fun and friendly competition for everyone! There is also a second wood burning fireplace, a wet bar, full bathroom, and large TV down here, as well as doors to the lower deck. From the living room, double doors take you outside to the deck and the sweeping mountain views. Kick back and relax as you watch the clouds make playful shadow shapes on the mountain ranges fading into the horizon. A selection of Adirondack chairs awaits on both the upper and lower decks. The upper deck also offers a covered section with an outdoor dining set and a gas grill. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Time for bed? Cranberry View Lodge offers six bedrooms including two ensuites, plus a futon in the loft, so there's plenty of space for everyone!

We arrived 20 minutes early and there was someone from Blue Ridge Mountain doing a walk through, so we were disappointed to find trash on the deck, there was a solo cup next to the bathtub of the main bathroom, and there was hair on the toilet seat. The house itself is beautiful and spacious. We loved the mountain views and enjoyed our time there and would come back. I would also like to state the cookware needs to be replaced. Of all the pots and pans that are in the house, there are only 2 that are actually good to use. 2 of the pans are stuck together and I do not believe the pot holders have been washed in quite some time. Small improvements that could go a long way for this beautiful house.

We had such a blast! Came here with a group of friends and it was the perfect spot. Stunning views, very private, and the home itself was gorgeous. It was very spacious, and the kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked and felt luxurious. The hot tub was also great! In the listing it mentions a pool table, but the pictures don’t show the awesome game room downstairs! - such a nice “bonus” that we didn’t expect. Plus, the area felt very walkable, so when it unexpectedly snowed all weekend, we spent lots of time walking around and had some beautiful views. We truly had such an enjoyable time. The host was also very responsive and kind. I’d definitely recommend this home, and would love to be back!

Our family had a wonderful stay here. Our family especially enjoyed the pool table and the beautiful views. The property is very secluded and just what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The customer service and communication from Blue ridge mountain rentals was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend!
