Amenities

Perched atop a mountain ridge at 1,900' of elevation, Sunset Mountain Lodge faces directly West to perfectly frame the sun as it sets over multiple layers of mountains each night. Whether viewing the sunset from the two-story picture windows in the living room, or on any of the three levels of deck, you are sure to be in awe by the view.

Highlights include hot tub, pool table, foosball, a karaoke machine with AutoTune and two microphones, big screen TVs, Nintendo Wii, Jenga, Corn Hole, board games, puzzles, darts, bar, grill, three levels of decks and an outdoor fire pit.

Sunset Mountain Lodge is conveniently located about 15-20 minutes from Blue Ridge, McCaysville, and Murphy, but also provides great privacy, peace, and quiet. This is a full and complete home, all levels, 2,200 total square feet of living space, on 2.25 acres of private land. No other homes, rentals, or people exist on the 2.25 acre wooded lot... it's all yours! The home sits on a dead-end gravel road so the traffic is very minimal and limited to the small handful of homes on the street, most of which are owned by permanent residents.

Walk out of the French doors from the third story bedroom and onto the private third-level deck to relax in the hanging chair and have a glass of wine while you admire the sunset. Guests in the main-floor bedroom can do the same and walk out of French doors to the main level deck! Gather around the wood-burning fireplace in the living room while you take in the mountain views through the two story windows. Venture downstairs to the game room and fix yourself a drink at the bar before playing a game of pool, foosball, darts, over a dozen board games (some for kids, some for family, and some for adults), puzzles, or Nintendo Wii while the game plays on the big-screen TV. Connect your phone or tablet to the brand new Karaoke machine equipped with AutoTune and two microphones and sing your favorite songs. Head to the deck to play a game of corn-hole, Jenga, grill a dinner, or have a soak in the hot tub while you enjoy the mountain view with your friends and family. After the the sunset has completed its show, venture down the steps to the fire pit and cook s'mores around the fire.

The cabin sits several miles away from any main roads so you won't hear the sounds of traffic, and because the cabin sits at 1,900 feet atop a mountain ridge line of Poindexter Knob, you will hear the peaceful sound of the wind blowing over the trees and will often be treated to snow in the winter.

The full kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with all the implements a foodie needs to prepare their masterpiece for friends and family, including items like a good sharp knife set, food processor, blender, muffin pans, cake pans, garlic press, whisk, measuring cups, mixing bowls, etc, and a large propane grill sits out on the deck for outdoor meal prep.

Each of the three bedrooms are "master" bedrooms of the same size (13x13), and all have a TV and an adjacent full bathroom. The top two bedrooms feature king size beds, closets, and French doors leading out to the deck. The bottom bedroom features a queen size bed, a dresser, and four windows. With three beds plus a sofabed with queen size memory-foam mattress in the game-room, you'll have space for up to 8 guests.

Cellular service is generally 2-3 bars on both AT&T and Verizon with great voice quality and there is 300mbps internet (with Wifi that provides 60mbps) for those needing to get online for business or pleasure. Satellite TV in all bedrooms, living room, and game room.

The cabin is equipped with a clothes washer and dryer, and dishwasher, and we follow the latest COVID CDC cleaning protocols for hotels/motels.

You will be on paved roads until the last 1/2 mile when you turn onto gravel. The short half-mile gravel road is maintained annually and while it is a bit steep for the last 1/8 mile up to the lodge, ANY car, no matter how small or old, can easily drive it - you definitely don't need an SUV or four-wheel drive, though it might be challenging for a road motorcycle.

The lodge is strictly non-smoking, non-vaping, and pets are not allowed. Thank you for helping me keep the lodge safe, clean, in excellent condition, and enjoyable for everyone!

Sunset mountain lodge is my personal getaway and is the only property I rent so it gets all my focus and attention. I have worked hard to make it as clean, comfortable, inviting, entertaining and enjoyable as possible for people of all ages and I take great pride in providing a setting where people can make many lasting memories!
