This was our first family trip as three generations. We had a great time. Lookout lodge, having three levels provided space as well as closeness for everyone. We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table was a big hit.

Beautiful Mountain Retreat
Plenty of space for my family of 5 to spread out. Very comfy living spaces. Very clean and well-stocked kitchen. The only downside is it's a 20-30+ min drive to any restaurant/store. However, we brought all our supplies with us, so just enjoyed staying in the cabin.

Perfect mountain getaway!
We had the bed time here. The place was clean, comfortable and easy to get to. The only thing I would change would be the cheap papers and get a new hot tub as theirs doesn’t really “jet” and is small. Beds were comfy and the views are amazing! We will come back for sure!

Very well appointed cabin with all the necessary appliances. Spacious and pleasant with an incredible view of the nearby mountains. The road to get to the cabin is steep and challenging at night but the location is worth it! Perfect for up to 8 people looking for a relaxing stay.

Quiet Summer Escape
About 45 minutes outside of downtown Asheville and approximately 2 miles of very windy road up to the cabin from the main road. Cabin is very large and very close to the neighbors homes (which all look exactly the same) however during our stay it was very quiet and we hardly saw anyone. Upon entering the cabin there was a strong musty oder reminiscent of a locker room. I opened the large doors on the main floor overlooking the spectacular view for a few hours and that seemed to help a little. It’s probably time to clean/replace the rugs. Kitchen was nice and had everything you could ever need to cook/bake real meals (just bring your own spices) and the fridge was humongous, so you can stock up and never have to leave the property. We decided to sleep upstairs at first because the room felt grand with its cathedral ceilings, but after a few nights on a very, very, very firm mattress we moved downstairs to the main floor master where the bed was much softer and bigger. There were two more bedrooms one with bunk beds and plenty of room for kids to spread out, the other downstairs tucked away with its own bathroom too. Great space for a family to spend quality time together and apart. The double decks were the best part for me. Up top I had coffee every morning and down below I sat in the hot tub for every sunset. The hot tub is very basic and feels more like a hot spring than a therapeutic spa. Still a very nice amenity. I must say the views are the best part of this rental and I had no other choice but to be drawn in and naturally let go. I would be interested in seeing how this place is during the winter months, as we stayed 6 nights in August. Maybe we’ll come back. Happy Travels
