Dramatic Price Reduction. This is truly a unique one-of-a-kind value and opportunity. If you are looking for a magnificent lodge that sleeps 18, boasts a six-person hot tub, an eight-person sauna, three family gathering rooms, a complete bar, a home theater all done to the nines in the middle of the High Country, look no further. Your ship has arrived. Not to mention, this lodge comes with ample parking for 6-7 cars, 5 and a half baths and enough sleeping space to give everyone the privacy they need. Located Between the two entrances to Mountain Meadows on Hickory Nut Gap and with a view of Beech Mountain, this home is just a short drive to Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain and Banner Elk and all they have to offer. Take a tour and see just how unique this lodge is. A new standing seam metal roof was installed just a few years back and the exterior received a new coat of paint putting maintenance years off. So, if you are looking for a family gathering place, an extremely lucrative rental (see rental history) or both, look no further. This lodge comes completely furnished with all accessories, appliances and electronics.
