About this house rental

SPRING 2026 EXPERIENCE THE NEWLY UPDATED MUIR LODGE!

Beautiful Muir Lodge is located just 6 miles from Blowing Rock and moments from the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. This home was newly refurnished early 2026 and now accommodates 10 guests!

Muir Lodge has three suite style bedrooms and 2 additional sleeping spaces as well as a hot tub, and game table. This dog-friendly mountain retreat blends upscale mountain living with striking post and beam architecture for a truly memorable High Country getaway.

Enter on the main level, where a welcoming den provides the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure. This inviting space features comfortable seating, flatscreen TV and a newly added shuffleboard table for friendly competition. Just outside, the lower deck offers a relaxing hot tub and peaceful mountain surroundings. When its time to head to bed, this den becomes a cozy additional sleeping space for extra guests, with a queen sleeper sofa and easy access to the full bath and a closet for extra convenience and comfort.

Located on either side of the den are two spacious suites, each with private bathrooms and direct access to the lower deck, allowing guests to enjoy fresh mountain air and views right from their rooms.

Upstairs, the home opens into a stunning great room showcasing soaring exposed wood ceilings and impressive timber frame construction. The upper level is home to the living room, dining area, and kitchen, all thoughtfully positioned to maximize the spectacular mountain scenery. The living room features comfortable seating, a large HDTV, a queen sleeper sofa for additional guests, as well as a freestanding wood burning stove that adds warmth and character to the space.

The open kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a Keurig, and an island bar with seating, while the adjacent dining area creates an inviting space for gathering together over meals and conversation. A convenient half bath is located just off the kitchen/living room area. Step outside onto the upper deck to take in the breathtaking views of Grandfather Mountain and enjoy the crisp mountain air from the comfortable outdoor seating area.

Upstairs also features the private primary suite with deck access and its own bathroom.

Muir Lodge is sitting on a near flat lot with paved drive and parking area. Located just 6 miles to Blowing Rock, 12 miles to Grandfather Mountain and about a mile to the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway Muir Lodge will not disappoint guest looking for a wonderful mountain experience.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2022
The house was wonderful for a extended weekend away with my daughter husband and sister in law and her husband. The hot tub is clean, spacious, amazing! My favorite part of the whole house might be the gliding chairs in the upper deck. We hopped in to the blue ridge parkway SO easily! Such a perfect location to explore Boone and Blowing Rock! Can’t miss spots: Roscoe Gem Mining Grandfather MTn Winery Linville Falls We absolutely loved our stay here and already talked about coming back again!
6 / 10Average·Jan 2024
We did a week at the Muir Lodge and overall were able to enjoy our break despite some challenging circumstances. The positives of this location is that it is very close to many activities as well as shopping centers making it easy to keep the family entertained. The cabin is private and is well equipped with plenty of kitchen utensils, board games, movies and towels. There's a lovely fire pit and a bundle of complimentary wood is provided to start your vacation. Now for the negatives, the property is presented as three master bedroom with bathrooms that include tubs and showers this was a selling point for our family, two of the bathrooms did not have functioning tubs as water was turned off to them. It appears work was being done on an upstairs area and this was not new but not mentioned in the listing. The other issue is the hot tub, this is an amenity many ppl book for and spend extra money on however on our arrival it was not able to be enjoyed due to the smell and discoloration of water. The management team did send a tech out on our third day there( it was a holiday weekend) and he had to empty the tub and refill it in order for it to be used. The management team did try to address issues and Amy was lovely however we only enjoyed the hot tub for 3 out of 7 days. Per contract refunds don't occur even though we did not get the amenities we paid for, they did refund us under 10%. We loved our vaca but may not book with this organization again due to their policies
