The Three Best Places To Sleep In the Blue Ridge...

 

Vacation Lodging...

The Yellow Moon Lodge
Built in 2003, this 1120 square foot cabin with pine interior/exterior and a deck consists of two bedrooms with queen beds and private baths (and one twin sleeper), down comforters and Egyptian cotton towels, a living room with two queen sleeper sofas, a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, washer/dryer, ceiling fans, and a sprawling porch all under a tin roof. In a wooded setting with Southern exposure, it’s tastefully decorated and includes historical photographs. Interior bedroom doors key-lock for added privacy. It comfortably sleeps eight people (four couples), but may sleep ten. A swing and rocking chairs add to the ambiance of our huge “hoot-owl porch.”
$150 a night for 2-4; $200 a night for 5-8; ($25/night for each person over 8); plus $50 cleaning fee, plus a refundable damage deposit
Or Rent A Room for $90 a night

 

Lamour Landing
This little pine exterior and pine/cedar interior cabin with lots of light and a tin roof is the perfect private space for romance, creative endeavors, bird watching, or just quiet time. It’s our version of “Appalachia with an island twist,” since the décor tastefully combines mountain living with a hint of the tropics. It’s 230 square feet; furnished with a spacious bathroom, full bed, down comforters and Egyptian cotton towels, compact frig, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, ceiling fans, and corner bar for dining. Was once the blacksmith shop of the owner’s great grandfather. A huge hammock out back invites napping in good weather.
$100 a night, plus $30 cleaning fee, plus a refundable damage deposit

 

Gitche Gumee
This is the ultimate in luxury outdoor lodging, ideal for nature lovers and folks who want comforts when they sleep under the stars. The teepee (shown on the Home Page) is 16 feet in diameter, which makes for a rather large room. Enjoy a queen bed with linens and a carpet floor. (Bring your own sleeping bag and cooler with ice!) Upon request, there’s room for a second queen bed. Just yards from the teepee, the bathhouse with antique stained glass (shown above, left) includes a toilet, hot water shower, Egyptian cotton towels, and ample storage for clothing and gear. All cooking/eating utensils and lanterns are provided. Built to look like a small cabin, the bathhouse has a small covered porch with chairs, perfect for having your morning brew from the electric coffeemaker. A fire ring, gas grill, firewood, and a Mayan hammock add to the magic of the site. The bathhouse door key-locks to protect valuables. By a stream in lush woods, it’s unique to any place you’ve ever stayed!
$50 a night for one couple/$75 for two couples, plus a $30 cleaning fee, plus a refundable damage deposit
