Designed at the peak of the market in 2007, the home was built to an uncompromising standard of quality, architecture and attention to detail. Resting on a 1+ acre plateau perched at just under 4,300 feet of elevation, The Overlook Lodge looks west out onto unobstructed, rolling mountain views into the Pisgah National Forest and Tennessee Valley.

Lavish mountain décor and regal furnishings, highlighted by impressionist style artwork, blend seamlessly together for a true rustic elegance.

The space is free-flow to the gourmet kitchen, which is equipped with stainless appliances, exquisite granite counter tops and backsplash, ornate custom cabinetry and bar seating. The formal dining area is just steps off of the Great room and kitchen and looks out onto expansive ridgeline views.

Our rental property was exactly like pictured on the rental website. I received accurate information by the rental company when I inquired about the property. The home was immaculate upon arrival. In addition, the few questions we may have had upon our arrival was addressed quickly through email. Absolutely gorgeous property.!

Overlook at Wilderness Trail in Newland, North Carolina was truly a spectacular rental property. When we arrived, the house was immaculate. From the spacious rooms, fireplace, enormous kitchen, and Mountain View's , The property exceeded our expectations. Our family getaway was magical. We were even fortunate enough to have a little snow in which our 4 yr old granddaughter was able to do some sledding, and it was her very first snow! Anyone staying at the property during the winter months Most definitely should follow the rental companies suggestion on vehicles. It can be quite icy. The kitchen had salt, pepper, sugar, coffee filters. Be sure to bring all of your spices, etc. especially if you are a family who likes to cook, we were so happy that we were totally prepared.. In addition, the beds were quite comfortable. We had a wonderful family getaway ! We highly recommend Blue Ridge rental company and renting Overlook at Wilderness Trail.
