Welcome to Mountainside Lodge, a fully furnished custom log retreat set on 5.73 private acres in the heart of historic Valle Crucis. Offering nearly 4,000 square feet, 5 bedrooms and 7 sleeping areas, this expansive property is designed to host, gather and generate income, delivering exceptional value at $1,150,000. An additional 544 square feet of heated finished living space above the garage, currently used as a game room, is not included in the total square footage.
Originally operated as a bed and breakfast and now a successful vacation rental, the home is thoughtfully configured with five private bedroom suites, each with an en-suite bath, allowing guests to enjoy both comfort and privacy. Multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces make it easy to accommodate large groups, creating an ideal setting for family retreats, group vacations or income-producing stays.
The main living area is anchored by a double-sided stone gas fireplace, complemented by a warm log interior that reflects classic mountain design with updated finishes. The oversized kitchen is built for connection and entertaining, featuring three ovens, a large central island and multiple refrigeration options, allowing for seamless hosting of large gatherings.
A separate heated game room above the garage provides an additional private retreat, complete with a pool table, air hockey, dart board and large television. This flexible space allows guests to gather and unwind without disrupting the main living areas.
Outdoor living is a defining feature of the property. A wraparound covered porch offers multiple seating areas, outdoor dining space and a swing, while the hot tub and fire pit overlook wooded surroundings and mountain views. A fenced area for pets is conveniently accessed directly from the wraparound deck, adding functionality and ease for pet owners.
Recent improvements include a metal roof installed in 2022, paved driveway and exterior enhancements, contributing to long-term durability and accessibility. The property also offers an oversized two-car garage and ample parking for guests.
Located just minutes from Valle Crucis Community Park, the Watauga River and a short drive to Banner Elk, Boone and Blowing Rock, the home provides convenient access to hiking, fishing, skiing and year-round High Country attractions.
With its established rental history, ability to accommodate large groups and turnkey furnishings, this property presents a compelling opportunity for a private mountain estate, vacation home or income-producing investment property. Rental evaluation available upon request.
A distinctive mountain retreat where space, setting and versatility come together to support memorable gatherings and long-term value.
