Spectacular Mtn Views-Artfully Decorated. Inviting, Warm & Rustic.

Welcome to The Sun Lodge –

Our 3,000-acre community is private, quiet, and perfect spot for a restful vacation.

Escape to the breathtaking beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains at The Sun Lodge, a secluded three-story lodge nestled within a gated community. Just 25 minutes from Boone and Wilkesboro, and only 20 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this serene getaway is surrounded by hiking trails and natural beauty.

Designed with an open floor plan, The Sun Lodge offers a cozy yet spacious atmosphere:
Loft Retreat: Queen bed, half bath, private deck with stunning views, cozy sofa, and a reading chair.

Main Level: Well-stocked kitchen with premium Pampered Chef appliances, a fireplace, a game table, and a full bath.

Downstairs Bear’s Lair: King-size bed, wrap-around sofa, stereo television, an additional queen bedroom, full bath with jacuzzi jet bathtub, washer and dryer, and a walk-out basement leading to double hammocks.

Enjoy modern conveniences like super-fast Wi-Fi, perfect for remote work, along with peaceful wildlife-watching from our birdfeeders and hummingbird feeders. A gas grill on the deck makes for the perfect evening cookout.


IMPORTANT NOTES:
****Our tight spiral staircases may not be suitable for small children or elderly guests.

****If booking for five or more travelers, we just want to make sure you noticed that the house has an open floor plan with limited privacy. Both the loft and the basement king bedroom are open rooms.


Book your stay at The Sun Lodge and experience the beauty, relaxation, and adventure of the Blue Ridge Mountains!

Quick Shot of Relaxation

As always, the Sun Lodge is just the perfect place for relaxation. Do yourself a favor, wake up before sunrise, make a cup of coffee, and enjoy the beauty of sunrise over the mountains.

Great Accommodations!!

We have stayed in numerous cabins over the years and this one was the most well stocked and one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in. We did have a problem with one of the toilets, but Greg was in it and took care of it for us. It was a great location between Wilkesboro and Boone. Beautiful deck overlooking the mountains. We would stay here again without question.

Beautiful Stay In The Mountains

Wonderful cabin with a view to die for. We could have spent the whole weekend sitting on the deck but we would have missed the beautiful interior with any amenity you could ask for, comfortable bed and fully stocked kitchen. Thank you to the owners for making their home available for others to enjoy. Hopefully, we can visit again.

Peaceful and Calming

This was our third trip to this beautiful home and spectacular view. This mountain community feels like home away from home. Cozy and nicely decorated with all kitchen and bathroom amenities. Clean and welcoming. Love the deck. Even though we had mainly rain this past Monday-Wednesday but still enjoyed listening to the silence of the night with exception to the crickets. I hope this area dodged the flooding.

Fabulous Serene setting

We had a fabulous, quiet stay at this beautiful cabin. We enjoyed most of our days and evenings on the deck under the retractable sun awning and fire pit. We enjoyed the deer, squirrels, birds and hummingbirds. The cabin itself provided all the amenities needed including fast internet and an Alexa for music.
