Welcome to Wilderness Lodge!

Luxury Vacation Rental near Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Valle Crucis, Sugar Mountain, and Grandfather Mountain

Wilderness Lodge is a sprawling five (5) bedroom four and a half (4.5) bathroom, luxury Adirondack-style mountain home decorated with a tasteful Disney theme that fans and enthusiasts will appreciate, yet not overwhelming for those not drawn to the Disney aspect. Wilderness Lodge offers long-range panoramic mountain views and sits on a high-elevation mountain-top property in an exclusive gated neighborhood with paved roads. The house boasts a generous paved parking area on two levels and a large two-car garage accommodating as many as ten vehicles between the numerous parking options.

ACCOMMODATIONS SUMMARY:
Main Floor Master Bedroom with King Bed (sleeps 2)
Upstairs Master Bedroom with King & 2 Twin Beds (sleeps 4)
Upstairs Full Bedroom (sleeps 2)
Upstairs Twin Bedroom (sleeps 1)
Downstairs King Bedroom (sleeps 3)

The front door opens to an impressive foyer with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, custom ironwork, and beautiful hardwood floors, leading to the living room with comfortable upscale furniture facing an enormous wood-burning fireplace and a mounted 3D Smart TV with BluRay and AppleTV. The rear wall of windows frames an impressive, unobstructed, long-range mountain view.

The dining area is open to the living room with a view-side dining table that seats eight people. The adjacent sunroom has a six-seat breakfast table, accommodating 14 people at mealtime. Four bar stools at the kitchen island offer additional seating. The sunroom also provides a powder room, a desk, and windows allowing sunshine and showcasing Grandfather Mountain.

The custom kitchen is adjacent to the dining area and open to the dining and living areas, the foyer, and the sunroom. The kitchen has ample custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless appliances, including multiple ovens, a convection oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, a substantial side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, and a gas cooktop with six burners and a griddle. The huge center island has ample preparation space, extra drawers and cabinet space, a wine rack, and a wine refrigerator.

There are two master suites featuring king beds. The one on the main level features a dual-zone, double-mattress Sleep Number king bed, so each person can adjust the firmness and raise or lower the head and foot of the bed. Marvel at the grandeur of Grandfather Mountain from the comfort of your bed! The master suite has a stacked-stone gas log fireplace with a hand-carved mantle, a flat panel Smart TV, and a BluRay player. The master bathroom on the main floor boasts a Jacuzzi-style, two-person jetted tub, a fully-enclosed 3-head slate steam/shower, a double granite vanity, a commode closet, and a walk-in closet with a laundry chute.

The upstairs master suite is an enormous bedroom with a king bed and two twin beds, accommodating four people comfortably. This master suite features a view-side Juliette deck, a full bathroom with vaulted ceilings, a commode closet, a fully tiled tub and shower, and a granite vanity. The bedroom also has a Smart TV with a BluRay Player.

Cross the catwalk over the living room and foyer from the upstairs master suite to the two additional bedrooms, joined by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with custom tile work, double granite vanities, and a tub and shower. The full bedroom features a Smart TV, a stone fireplace with gas logs, and a view side Juliette deck. The twin bedroom has a "Pooh's Corner" theme and a Smart TV with a BluRay Player.

The first floor offers the Liberty Tree Tavern Bar, a large den and movie room with an ice maker and refrigerator/freezer for entertaining. Mounted over the bar is a 75-inch High Definition 3D Smart TV with Apple TV and a BluRay Player for memorable viewing events, and virtually all major streaming services are available along with an extensive library of purchased movies. The owners subscribe to Apple Music, so you have unlimited music streaming from both Apple TVs. Enjoy the large gas log stone fireplace, comfortable recliners, sofas, and rocking chairs. Under the stairway, you will find a well-decorated child's play nook with many creative things and a dartboard. A Hue lighting system lets you choose between unique lighting settings in the theater room. On the other side of the room is a dedicated gaming monitor with a Playstation 4 and a Nintendo Wii, along with games and accessories. The room also has a 12-foot African Mahogany shuffleboard table and a tournament-sized foosball table.

Also on the lower level is another large bedroom with a fun "Noah's Ark" theme, a handsome stone fireplace with gas logs, a Smart TV and BluRay Player, a king-size bed, and a rollaway twin bed. The lower level has a full bathroom and a large laundry room with a high-efficiency front-loading washer and dryer.

Step outside from the lower level onto the "Adventureland Veranda" to enjoy the top-of-the-line hot tub with lights and waterfalls. Or walk down to the unique rock garden, which is a massive boulder the house was built around. At ground level is a clearing featuring the fire pit with the mountains on one side and the giant boulder on the other. The expansive main-floor deck features open-air seating and an outdoor dining area with a gas grill, overlooking a stunning panorama of beautiful mountains and valleys with Grandfather Mountain as the centerpiece!

Enjoy the well-appointed Disney collectibles and advertising, which you will find whispered throughout every level of the Wilderness Lodge, owned by Disney enthusiasts and collectors of Disney memorabilia. They wish to share their passion and decades of Disney adventures and collecting with all guests lucky enough to stay at the Wilderness Lodge - both young and "young at heart!"

Can’t wait to go back!
This house was perfect for a girl’s trip reunion. There were 11 of us. We had plenty of space. Our favorite thing to do was sit around the coffee table on the super cozy couches and talk and talk. The house was gorgeous! The views were breath taking. The floor to ceiling, wall to wall window allowed access to view the gorgeous mountains all day long. The house is equipped with absolutely everything you need to feel at home. If you’re a Disney fan, you’ll love all the little Disney accents all through the house. One of our girls is a Disney Travel Agent, so she got a big kick out of it. There’s s picnic table and another table out on the deck to use. I suggest bringing a few extra camping chairs If you plan on spending a lot of time out there taking in the views. My only complaint is there were a very large number of dead flies all over the house, especially by the windows. Other than that, we are looking forward to going back again next year!

Beautiful view - close to town
We stayed here for 5 days in February. The location was perfect for us - removed from town but close enough to take advantage of downtown Boone. The view was spectacular from the home. You will not get tired of looking out the large windows in the living room. The kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed the large master suite, complete with a steam shower. Would definitely recommend.

A note to rental company
Great location! Great views! Very large spacious home! Needs more gliders on porch; needs a deep clean all over; needs updated pots and pans with better organization( i do realize it gets messed up with all the renters but it’s a mess) master bed downstairs splits down middle all night( i was excited about sleep number like mine at home- not like mine at home🤦🏼‍♀️ Remotes don’t work ; blah) Tvs need to more user friendly along with music system( better directions- we had tech savvy guys with us... without them it’s a mess); Disney theme weird ... Please note this is meant to be helpful not hurtful... we had a great time anyway! Thank you!

Beautiful mountaintop home with great panoramic view!
Beautiful property, very open and spacious, well furnished and equipped, perfect for large group of 10-12. Had to tweak a few small things (buy extra paper products, clean grease pan in grill, fix shower door and spigot, twin room cold, lightbulb out). But overall a great “Disney” experience.

Big vistas in Vilas
Very roomy house, with incredible views. During our stay the weather was spectacular. Just a couple areas of suggestion, more chairs on the porch, as the house is fairly large, accommodate a lot of people, but only two rocking chairs on the porch, and only six can eat on the outside table.
