About this property

Terrific Mountain Home with Incredible Views

Welcome to Southern Star Lodge!

This terrific seven (7) bedroom, seven (7) bathroom home has miles of long-range mountain views at a Mile High elevation on top of Beech Mountain. Consider curling up by the wood-burning fireplace or taking in the million-dollar view from one of three decks with several seating areas, an outdoor bar, and a gas grill. The porches are perfect for spotting wildlife, stargazing, leaf-peeping, and watching the sunset over the Blue Ridge Mountains. Brand new hot tub as of spring of 2021!

This home boasts two separate living areas for adults and children with four (4) king bedrooms, two (2) queen bedrooms, and one (1) twin-over-full bunk room. The game room is a showstopper with a pool table and 75-inch flat-screen Smart TV, a kitchenette, and a small refrigerator. Enjoy cooking your meals in a chef's kitchen complete with a 6-burner Viking Stove, a flat top grill, and a dual oven. There are two driveways with ample parking available. A pack-n-play and high chair are also available for guest use.

Just minutes from Beech Mountain Ski Resort, this house provides excellent skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and ice skating access. In the summer months, go mountain biking, hiking, take a scenic ski lift ride, play disc golf, or visit the Beech Mountain Brewery for your enjoyment. This home also offers convenient access to hiking the Emerald Outback and is approximately eleven (11) miles from Grandfather Mountain.

Southern Star Lodge is a terrific getaway for families and friends to gather and enjoy the great outdoors and a breath of fresh mountain air.

Beautiful Views and Home

Our family and friends were in town for my daughters wedding. The home was clean and had everything we needed. I have a VRBO, and I'm glad I "do the little things" even though ours isn't as nice as this one. Only having one washcloth and towel per guest, not having any shampoo or conditioner, not having any cotton balls or Q-tips and only two garbage bags for 12-15 people for a 4 night stay at the price being charged are small overall costs to incur when it comes to making things a good stay vs a great stay. The house is beautiful, clean and had enough space for all of us to really enjoy ourselves. We left 4 days before the hurricane, we got lucky and I hope this home wasn't damaged. One last thing, the two driveways are VERY steep and hard to get in and out of without 4 wheel drive EVEN IN THE SUMMER because it's gravel. Just be prepared for that. Again, overall a good stay and many beautiful memories.

Ski trip 2024

We had our third annual family/friends ski trip and we had a blast! The house was great and a perfect location. It was so easy for to drop skiers off and pick them up at the top of Beech mountain. The basement was a great area for the kids to hang out in. We loved having enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our crew. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Great place with lots of space

Lovely stay with our large family. The beds were very comfy, loved the large kitchen and everything was well maintained. Hot tub was great and the views as everyone says, as phenomenal. A couple of things I didnt see in the reviews that I think would be helpful to note are the driveways are very intimidating. Once we got in them, it was fine to navigate in and out, but they are steep and I cannot imagine navigating those in the winter in a sedan type car without any 4-wheel drive! Overall awesome spot, would stay again if we were in the area.

Southern Star Lodge

I rented this property as the pictures looked wonderful and the 7 bedroom, 7 bathroom fit our family of 11 perfectly. The house completely exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was well equipped, rooms large, great for large families, the views could not be better, the rental company could not be more accommodating, answering emails within the hour of sending them. The only thing that could have been better was the weather. It was my daughters wedding and it rained all day Friday and Saturday. But it was beautiful and fun anyway! All in all, perfect weekend!

Family Weekend Away

This property was certainly large enough for our crowd of 10 adults and full of mountain character. The view was beautiful. Large nice porches. Cute and fun spots at Beech Mountain and nearby Banner Elk. We were grateful that the house was not as remote as we were expecting. The owners were a joy to deal with, but getting a membership at the club was unnecessarily tedious, but worth it for the golf discounts. The course is beautiful. Rooms were large and clean. Be sure to pack additional paper items and kitchen trash bags. We could not find a can opener and the coffee pot was hard to figure out. There was a Keurig also, so that helped. We would definitely rent again.

Beautiful house!

Our group of friends thoroughly enjoyed everything about this house. All the rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was awesome (as was the ice maker in the laundry room), the pool table and hot tub were great as well. And the views were the best! We have already talked about renting the same house again in the future!

Beautiful house in a good neighborhood

The house was absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views. Deer were on the property. House was in the mountains. Hosts were very good at communication with any questions we had. Beds were so comfortable. We were welcomed with fresh flowers. A few suggestions would be to have a start up of coffee, filters, more garbage bags. A little tough to get on the internet but they took care of it. The hot tub didn't have much water in it so they came the next evening to fill it. Couldn't use it till the next day and we didn't have the time. We then needed to leave for the next part of our trip so that was disappointing. Overall, a great experience.

Beautiful view & home

This house was perfect for us and our friends during our wedding weekend. It was in a perfect location to walk on Beech Mountain and only 10 min from our venue. We had a beautiful dinner one night out on the deck with the amazing view. It was a dream!

Beautiful spacious retreat

This place was amazing!!! Plenty of room for my family while we were in town for our family reunion. Convenient to many things on the mountain and Banner Elk. We had to check in late due to the cleaning crew still working on the property. We found two burnt marijuana cigarettes on the deck and was unhappy having to explain to the 12 year old that found them what they were. Probably an oversight by the cleaning crew. We enjoyed this beautiful home and will try and stay here in the future.

Hard work paid off!!!

I am writing this review in hopes the "Owner/s" will read it. We LOVED the house, however there were many issues that I feel the owner should know about. The mailbox was hit by someone prior to our arrival so we could not find the house, assuming the numbers were on the mailbox. The driveway had more than a foot of snow and was not accessible at all, the men in the group spent several hours shoveling it after having gone to Fred's to purchase a shovel and a kind neighbor allowing us to borrow one. It took 4 grown men about 3-4 hours of shoveling and we were finally able to get a 4 wheel drive vehicle in the driveway, which you couldn't even see at first. They were so exhausted and frustrated from having worked so hard that they no longer had the energy to go night time skiing. There were 2 full bags of trash left at the house, one outside and one downstairs in game room. We were not able to throw out the trash we accumulated at any time in the trash bins outside because they too were full and had not been emptied prior to our arrival. The pool table light did not work and made it very hard to play at night and that was a big selling point for us as we all love playing billiards. The toilet paper holders would just fall off the second you touched the toilet paper, and a towel bar came off when one of the guest hung her wet towel back over it to dry. Obviously drywall anchors are not being used but just merely screwed in to the drywall. You absolutely could not use the fireplace if it was windy as the smoke and ashes would blow back in and just smoke out the house, so the effort there was wasted, we were able to use it one night and it was very pleasant that night, husband is suggesting a different chimney cap. Several dishes were extremely dirty and looked as if they had just been put up without even washing them. We were aware that we would only be getting one toilet paper roll per bathroom, however some of the rolls had very little paper remaining and was not enough to sustain the stay. The beds were very comfy, overall the house was very clean and in spite of it all we still very much enjoyed our stay and loved the house, I just felt an honest review would be helpful to the owner/s so they are aware of the little things that to some would be a big deal. Feel free to contact me if you deem necessary. Heidi

Great stay

Great house for a stay up on the mountain. Had 3 families and the room layout was great. Bring your 4wd as the driveways are a battle but overall wonderful house with wonderful views. Many thanks!
