Description

River Falls Lodge

Welcome to River Falls Lodge, a luxurious and spacious mountain retreat nestled in the upscale Glens of Grandfather community, just a stone’s throw from the breathtaking Watauga River. This 7-bedroom, 4-bathroom lodge provides over 3 acres of pristine mountain landscape for your enjoyment, complete with stunning views of Grandfather Mountain and soothing sounds of waterfalls right outside your door. The lodge’s beautifully crafted interior and sprawling deck create the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities, offering a peaceful sanctuary for families or groups looking for an unforgettable mountain escape.

The lodge comfortably sleeps up to 16 guests across its main house and guest house, ensuring everyone has ample space to relax. Step outside to discover a private hot tub, ideally situated next to the waterfall, where you can unwind while taking in the soothing sounds of the river. The outdoor area also features a large deck with outdoor dining, a firepit, and plenty of seating to soak in the tranquil surroundings. For pet lovers, the property is pet-friendly, making it an ideal vacation spot for the entire family, including furry friends.

Inside, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, from the fully equipped kitchen (including two additional kitchen spaces!) to cozy fireplaces on both levels. Entertainment options abound with satellite TV, DVDs, a gaming system, and a comprehensive WiFi network that spans the entire property. The guest house above the garage provides extra privacy with its own living area, perfect for extended family or friends.

Located just 3 miles from Sugar Mountain Resort, River Falls Lodge is in a prime spot for outdoor activities year-round. In the winter, enjoy easy access to skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing at Sugar Mountain or Hawksnest. Warmer months offer excellent hiking opportunities at Grandfather Mountain, where you can traverse the famous Mile-High Swinging Bridge and take in panoramic views. The Watauga River, accessible from the property, is perfect for fishing or a leisurely stroll along its scenic banks. For those seeking local flavor, nearby Banner Elk offers charming shops, fine dining, and wineries to explore, while Boone, just a 15-minute drive away, provides a vibrant mountain town atmosphere.
