Welcome to North View Lodge! 

North View Lodge is a vacation lodge with loads of mountain character and fun amenities in a central location convenient to all the High Country offers. This home offers various options for relaxing, congregating, dining, and sleeping for groups of all types. The owners have lovingly and thoughtfully set this house up to maximize comfort, usage flexibility, and year-round fun for guests of all ages. We are thrilled to offer North View to our guests.

Located just a few minutes from downtown Banner Elk, the lodge sits right between Sugar and Beech Mountain Ski Resorts, about ten miles to either one. Grandfather Mountain is also about ten miles away. The property is convenient to Boone, Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railroad, Hawksnest, Linville Falls and Caverns, Valle Crucis, and everything else one would want to do or see in the NC High Country! 

The driveway leads through a wooded approach to a generous gravel parking area. The property surrounding the driveway and parking area is all wooded private property that guests are welcome to walk through and explore. The lodge has an expansive deck wrapping around the rear and view sides. The front door leads into a generous entry foyer where you can shed wet winter jackets and boots or take off muddy clothes. 

To one side of the foyer is a master suite with a king-size bed, an HDTV, a BluRay player, and an ensuite bathroom. A nearby second bedroom has a queen-size bed and a full hallway bathroom. The kitchen is open to the dining and living areas and offers granite countertops, stainless appliances, and beautiful hickory hardwood floors. The dining table is impressive and can seat 12 to 14 guests. The living room has a central wood-burning fireplace, a large screen HDTV, and upscale leather furniture. Glass French doors open to the rear deck from the dining and living areas. Enjoy the view in handmade, custom furniture constructed from live-edge wood and wine casks.

On the other side of the foyer is a big family room with a window wall that opens to the view. Large comfy sofas (1 a foldout couch), a round game table for chess, checkers, cards, and an HDTV with a BluRay player furnish the room. A long, impressive L-shaped, English tavern-style bar with granite countertops and wood finishes is equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, convection oven, dishwasher, and coffee bar. Off the family room is the hot tub room. The two exterior walls have paneled sliding glass pocket doors that disappear and allow guests to open the hot tub room up to the outdoors. Accessible from the hot tub room and the family room is a unique tiled bathroom with a shower, changing room, 8-person sauna and steam room. The deck outside of the hot tub room has built-in bench seating, a long outdoor dining table, a gas grill, and an outdoor stone gas log fireplace.

Upstairs is the game room with an 8-foot slate pool table and dartboard, a half bath/powder room, a queen bed with single trundle and a daybed with a trundle. The first upstairs bedroom suite has a king bed, a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, a custom built-in desk, and a private full bathroom with a custom tile shower. The second upstairs bedroom suite has a "California" king bed and with a nice window framing the view. It has a walk-in closet and private bathroom with double granite vanity and an oversized tile shower. Off the game room is an open-style bedroom with a twin-over-full solid wood bunk bed and a twin day bed with a twin trundle bed that rolls out from beneath. Above the upstairs king suite and the hallway which leads to the bunk room are two custom-built sleeping lofts! 

The larger loft also has a "hobbit nook," which offers even more floor space for children to play and sleep. Both lofts have body pillows, comfy blankets, and plush carpeted floors and make cozy sleeping spots for as many as six children. The movie theater room, warm and intimate with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and plush carpet, features a 120-inch TV, a BluRay player, and an Xbox One. There are several reclining chairs and a futon in the theater room and a long crafting desk ideal for children to express creativity.

The lodge and its offerings are unique and offer an opportunity for families and friends to experience a fun-filled High Country mountain vacation.
