About this cabin rental
Welcome to your private mountain getaway at Cranberry View Lodge! Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Avery County with no other homes immediately in sight, this beautiful home offers spectacular mountain views!
Enter the home with just 2 steps up from the gravel parking area. The great room features a dining table for 8 to your right, and to your left is a spacious kitchen with granite counters, custom cabinets, and Samsung and Frigidaire stainless steel appliances including a double oven. A few steps further takes you into the living room, where the focal point is a beautiful wood burning fireplace with river rock running from the hearth all the way to the ceiling. Leather furniture is arranged facing the fireplace which has a TV mounted above it.
Downstairs is a game den offering a 7' long convertible pool table, ready for fun and friendly competition for everyone! There is also a second wood burning fireplace, a wet bar, full bathroom, and large TV down here, as well as doors to the lower deck.
From the living room, double doors take you outside to the deck and the sweeping mountain views. Kick back and relax as you watch the clouds make playful shadow shapes on the mountain ranges fading into the horizon. A selection of Adirondack chairs awaits on both the upper and lower decks. The upper deck also offers a covered section with an outdoor dining set and a gas grill.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Time for bed? Cranberry View Lodge offers six bedrooms including two ensuites, plus a futon in the loft, so there's plenty of space for everyone!
On the lower level you'll find two bedrooms each with a set of twin over-twin bunk beds.
On the upper level are a Queen bedroom with TV, a bedroom with two single Twin beds and TV, a bathroom on the hallway, and a Queen ensuite bedroom with TV and private bathroom featuring an oversized tiled shower.
The master suite on the main level has a King bed, TV, doors to the deck, and a private bathroom with soaking tub, double granite vanities, and a large, tiled shower.
LOCATION
Even though it's nestled in the mountains in a quiet gated community, Cranberry View Lodge is less than a mile and a half off Highways 194 and 19E, with downtown Banner Elk just 15 minutes away. Beech and Sugar Mountain ski resorts are both about 25 minutes' drive, and Grandfather Mountain is just 30 minutes away as is Elizabethton TN. Boone and Appalachian State, as well as Johnson City TN, are all about 50 minutes away.

We stayed here with close family friends to celebrate Thanksgiving together, 9 people in total. The stay was so comfortable and fun. Enough room for everyone, lots of entertainment options in the house. We had a wonderful time.
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2024
This is a lovely cabin with plenty of room for the extended family. The location is remote and the views are beautiful. Beds are comfy, and the property management company is very communicative. Three things to be aware of: you will find that you could have rented this property through the property management company (Blue Ridge Rentals) for quite a bit less than through VRBO. When I mentioned the discrepancy between my contract amount and VRBO, the rental company suggested I take it up with VRBO because they are the ones charging the additional fees. Of course they would not do anything about this, and it made me feel like I'd been snookered. Less concerning, when we arrived at the cabin we saw that the hot tub was missing half its hard cover and the remaining soft leather part of the cover was lying in the tub and was filled with water. We bailed out the water, turned up the temperature, turned on the breaker switch, and stretched the soft part of the cover over the top of the hot tub to protect it. It never warmed up beyond 87 degrees, however, so no one could use it. And last, there was plenty of dishes, glasses, and silverware in the kitchen (which had a lovely double oven), but I didn't have enough pots to cook meals for my family, nor enough casserole dishes, or a platter to plate meat, and only 2-3 kitchen towels were available. I left tin casserole pans that I purchased locally for the next guests, but be aware cooking pots are a little skimpy for big families.

Our family had a wonderful stay here. Our family especially enjoyed the pool table and the beautiful views. The property is very secluded and just what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The customer service and communication from Blue ridge mountain rentals was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend!
6 / 10Average·Jan 2025
Upon arrival, we were immediately disappointed. I would not stay here again.Two "bedrooms" in the basement with bunkbeds are not bedrooms. They are storage nooks. Neither room has a door or closet. One room has a strange hole in the floor covered by a piece of plywood. These rooms were VERY hot at night.Here is a list of issues, some of which were addressed during our stay:-The hot tub did not have water-The last step to the basement was loose and was hazardous-The pool table in the basement is a piece of junk-There was a large pile of garbage on the deck-The garage is full of broken furniture and other trash-The kitchen lacked simple tools such as a can opener or measuring cups-The ladders to the bunkbeds were missing screws and hazardous-Ceiling fans were full of thick dust
