About this house rental

The Lone Star Lodge is located in the Mystic Forest neighborhood near Topton in western North Carolina. The home is bordered on two sides by the Nantahala National Forest. The Great Smokey Mountains National Park, Appalachian Trail, the Nantahala Outdoor Center (“NOC”), Blue Ridge Parkway are all nearby. Nantahala Lake and Fontana Lake are nearby.

Bryson City (30 mi.) and Asheville (90 mi.) are both very convenient and beautiful drives. The Smokey Mountains, Highlands and Nantahala Lake offer easy scenic day trips. The nearest grocery store is in Andrews (20 mi.).

This home has a unique floor plan on two levels each accessible from ground level. The main level is the upper level and contains the kitchen, laundry room, living room, master bedroom with full bath and a half bathroom. From the center of the great room (living + dining + kitchen) are central stairs that connect the upper level with the lower level of the home.

From the outside from the upper driveway level guests will walk up a few steps to the front door. The living room features a wood burning fireplace with gas starter, wood floors, two full leather sofas and an oversized leather chair with ottoman. Here guests can enjoy a 55” flatscreen “smart” internet TV with DirecTV and sound system and an extensive DVD movie library.

The stunning living room features real hand crafted mortise and tenon beam wood work and tongue and groove wood ceilings which continue to the outdoor deck wood work. Accessed from the main level is a 1,000 s.f. partially covered deck with an outside fireplace.

The master bedroom has outside access to the deck and an en-suite full bath with walk-in shower. The bedroom is equipped with a king size bed and a 55” flat screen TV and DVD player.

The lower level is accessed from the lower drive way. After parking guests walk from their car directly onto the lower deck and enter the lower family living room through sliding glass doors. On this floor are three bedrooms and a kitchenette equipped with refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven and coffee maker.

The first bedroom features a king size bed and may be described as a secondary master bedroom with access to the lower deck and a shared en-suite bathroom with tub/shower that has access from the living area.

The second bedroom on this level has a king size bed and en-suite bath with shower.

The third bedroom on the lower level is the “bunk room” and features a bunk bed with two full size beds.

The lower level living area features a sectional sofa and two upholstered swivel chairs. There is another flat screen flat TV with DVD player and DirecTV and Internet access. An baker’s pantry is located in the kitchenette area and contains a variety of games, puzzles and an additional DVD movie library.

One special note: Guests should be sure to bring groceries with them because the nearest grocery store is in Andrews, about a 30 minute drive one-way.

We absolutely loved the seclusion and Mountain View’s. It was awesome that the property was pet friendly. Our dog got to join us for Christmas. The house was everything we wanted and more. From the outdoor fireplace to the hot tub, we enjoyed just being at the property. I put a one star for the skiing only because we were not there to ski and it was an unseasonably warm Christmas. But I would imagine getting to the slopes with HWY 74 being very accessible from the property. I wanted to thank Steve, the owner for outstanding communications and support throughout the entire process. We will definitely recommend the property to others. Hopefully we might get back there for some Trout fishing.

The property is beautiful and the most well stocked of any property I have ever stayed at. The owner was wonderful to communicate with. There was an issue with receiving the link for access to the property but once we got a signal the owner responded within minutes. I will add that getting the cabin is sketchy but once you get there the views are well worth the drive. Wonderful size of the property for a large family esp for holidays. Would def rent this property again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. 1. The drive to the house is challenging. It is about 30 min of mildly windy roads (very well paved) with poor cell signal. The owner included EXCELLENT instructions on how to reach the house without a signal. He warned me that the property does not show up on GPS maps but I later found that it shows up on Waze and that Waze can work without a cell signal. This made the the final stretch of a mile or so much easier (where the incline is greater). 2. The view is amazing. You can't really tell until you get to the house, but the rear porch has an awe-inspiring view of the mountains. There is also a clearing adjacent to the driveway that offers nearly 180 degrees of unobstructed views. 3. The house was in great shape and there was plenty of room for the 6 of us to stretch. The master bathroom was one of the better ones I've seen in a rental. 4. The house was stocked better than any rental house I've seen. We had more than enough paper towels, TP, and surprisingly had many spices and cooking instruments. The latter was key because it was not easy to get to the store (Ingles was 1 hour away). 5. We did a lot of activities at NOC. It also had the only restaurant that was close. It was about a 40 min drive from the house. 6. The AC unit on the main floor went out. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful in somehow getting this fixed over the holiday weekend. I really appreciated it.

Great property. It had everything we wanted. A big kitchen, lots of open space upstairs to hang out and a great functional space downstairs for the kids. Lots of nice features too. We came fully prepared with lots of food and supplies since it’s a ways to any store. The only drawback was the slow internet. Also, the last couple hundred yards of the driveway is really steep. It wasn’t an issue for us but we didn’t have any ice or snow. Something to keep an eye on though if visiting in winter. I guess that’s the price for those amazing views! All-in-all it’s probably the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in.
