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.

Peace and Beauty

This is perhaps the most peaceful place in the world. The location is incredible. Watching the sunrise over the mountains feels like living inside of a painting. This has quickly become my family's favorite place to visit -- and if you book a trip here, it likely will be yours too.

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.

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.

If two sets of spiral stairs separating the living / sleeping areas would not bother you then this is the place for you.

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.

Wow, the cabin and view are AMAZING! Everything exceeded our expectations. Communication with the property manager was great. The cabin was clean and well-stocked! And the view from the deck was breathtaking. We spend all of our early mornings and evenings in the outside space.

Fall Retreat

Stayed a couple days enjoying the local attractions, shopping, restaurants, autumn leaves and the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway. The home was very clean and inviting because of the décor. Views were great, sunrise awesome! Enjoyed my cup of coffee every morning on deck with great mountain views. Enjoyed playing games and laughing with family in the evenings. Overall, a great retreat to enjoy family & the beauty of the season. Tony & Pam

View as good as any in Appalachia

My father and I stayed in this house a few days to get out of the coastal heat during August and we didn't do much. Just got a couple meals in Boone and stayed at the house because the view is that spectacular. The house is nice but we didn't spend much time in it. Even in August, the outdoor area was comfortable, with a very nice retractable awning for when the sun is overhead. We'll almost certainly be back!

Very nice

Views were beautiful. Poker table and set came in handy with the rain. Really loved all of the pampered chef kitchen utensils and that this rental has a decent selection of knives and utesnils and a knife sharpener. Hosts thought of everything from extra shampoo and conditioner to all of the decor from places they traveled and marshmallow roasting sticks. Make sure you roast marshmallows out on the deck!

Escape to the best view!

Our second time was a delight and really enjoyed the beautiful view. Though there was quite a bit of cloud control. The cabin was very nice and all the little extras were appreciated. I want to make you aware that the downstairs hair dryer might need replaced. When I turned it on for just a few seconds it immediately started smelling like it had been burnt. Appreciated all the extras. We enjoyed looking at all then deer down the mountain to the main road. Thanks for sharing a small piece of your paradise. Wendy, Jason, Jacob, & Kayla.
