Overlook at Wilderness Trail - Private, Luxurious Mountain Hideaway!

Introducing The Overlook Lodge at Wilderness Trail! Designed at the peak of the market in 2007, the home was built to an uncompromising standard of quality, luxury and attention to detail. Resting on a 1+ acre plateau perched at just under 4,300 feet of elevation, The Overlook Lodge looks west out onto unobstructed, rolling mountain views into the Pisgah National Forest and Tennessee Valley. This Adirondack custom-designed home features natural design elements throughout, including gorgeous hardwoods shadowed by massive, rough cut cedar timber frame construction. Lavish mountain décor and regal furnishings, highlighted by impressionist style artwork, blend seamlessly together for a true rustic elegance. The Great room boasts a grand, tongue and groove lined cathedral ceiling and floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and TV tastefully tucked into the hutch nearby. The space is free-flow to the gourmet kitchen, which is equipped with stainless appliances, exquisite granite counter tops and backsplash, ornate custom cabinetry and bar seating. The formal dining area is just steps off of the Great room and kitchen and looks out onto expansive ridgeline views. Step out to the abundant covered outdoor living and dining space, with built in gas grill and fireplace, and take in the amazing vistas and clean mountain air.

The Overlook Lodge features two grand king suites with lofted ceilings and over-sized bathrooms, offering private soaking tubs and incredible views of their own. There are also two additional king guests suites, one of which doubles as a game room and lounge with its own private balcony. The loft office space is perfect for remote work and learning and lined with iron, rhododendron-themed banisters that create an inclusive, yet private space in the home. All of this within a private mountain-top development only 10 minutes from downtown Banner Elk and easy driving distance to all of the exciting activities the area offers. Call today to secure your luxury Banner Elk vacation in The Overlook Lodge at Wilderness Trail!

The Overlook Lodge is located only minutes away from the charming town of Banner Elk. Featuring a wide variety of noted gourmet restaurants and excellent specialty and upscale boutiques, Banner Elk is a destination all its own. Here each season brings with it something spectacular, from our cool air and outdoor activities in the summer, to our incredible fall foliage, to great skiing during the winter. Banner Elk is also home to Lees-McRae College and its wonderful summer theater program, as well as numerous athletic events for spectators throughout the year.

In addition, the nearby towns of Blowing Rock, Valle Crucis and Boone, home to Appalachian State University, add to the unique flavor and sophisticated country charm of the area. Call today to secure this property for your next Blue Ridge Mountain vacation!

Verified traveller

Disliked: Cleanliness
Unacceptable
Great location with wonderful views. For this price, we would never have expected poor cleanliness and maintenance. Things were broken, outdoor furniture was disgusting, rugs had not been vacuumed for a long time, there were many wasps nests in a rock wall that made outdoor area unusable until we sprayed and killed 20+ wasps. And last but not least, ghdd red stairs were very dangerous and 4 people in our party fell. Will call the management company to report more details.
