Beautiful property but just far from most attractions

the property is very nice and spacious. but unfortunately far from most attractions. Due to the hurricane damage Blue Ridge was closed off and most driving distances are 40 minutes plus. The other downfall was the trash situation. We were unaware that would have to dispose of the trash away from the house to the nearest landfill. Fortunately you have the option of the cleaning staff taking it for you at a Fee cost.

What a special place!

We really enjoyed our short stay in this beautiful spot. We were with good friends, and we remarked over and over about what a special, comfortable place this was. Our hosts were very attentive, and we were so sad our trip was cut short by us leaving quite early the last morning, because we missed their offered homemade chocolate croissants ❤️ Do yourself a favor, and book this incredible Spring Lodge.

Wonderful Getaway

Beautiful home and location. More space than the pictures do justice. A bit off the beaten path, while also close to great towns like Boone and West Jefferson. Already thinking about coming back in the summer to see the gardens in full bloom.

Weekend work trip

We made a quick trip to West Jefferson to help my daddy with some property he was setting up for a permanent RV. The Spring Lodge was a beautiful gem for us to rest and relax each night for more work! Everything at the house was spectacular! Love the open layout - just wish we had of had more time to rest and enjoy the tranquility of the space. Rich & Pat were the greatest!

Great Holiday Stay!

We enjoyed our Christmas getaway in this lovely home! I’m a cook and a baker and they definitely had just about everything I needed to make all of my holiday meals and baked treats. I appreciated the Christmas greeting call from the owners and all of the prompt responses to our questions. The house was clean, well appointed and a very joyful space to spend time in. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect location for Sky Retreat wedding

We needed a place to stay that was close to Sky Retreat, where our daughter was getting married. Spring Lodge fit the bill perfectly! Richard gave us great directions, so that we were at Sky Retreat in 8 minutes. The house was warm and cozy, with a fantastic kitchen! The driveway is a bit tricky to get in and out of, wish it were more flat. And it would have been nice to have use of the garage, as weather was very rainy when we arrived. But overall a very nice property with lovely owners. Richard and Pat responded to my questions right away which was terrific. It is a good location for Sky Retreat, and only 25 minutes from Boone. My only regret was that we really didn’t get to spend any time there, as we were at the venue most of the time. We would love to return during the fall!

Quiet Retreat

In a very convenient location (Boone and West Jefferson only 20 minutes away, we enjoyed sitting on the porch looking at the wooded valley. The large house was immaculate and one of the best equipped we have experienced. Rich and Pat are welcoming hosts, and Pat's croissants were delicious. We have already booked another week for next fall!
