About this property
A 2200 sq/ft lodge on a picturesque 16-acre wooded mountain property
Welcome to Fern Rock Mountain Retreat
Nestled on 16 acres of serene woodland, Fern Rock Mountain Retreat offers a true back-to-nature escape in the heart of the mountains. Please note, due to the steep driveways, 4-wheel drive is recommended for your visit.
The Lodge
Our 2,200 sq ft rustic yet elegant log home comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests across four private bedrooms. With custom features inside and out, it’s the perfect blend of charm and comfort. The property includes a fire pit, a walking trail leading to a spring-fed pond, outdoor games, and a spacious covered porch with rocking chairs—ideal for soaking in mountain views. For a special retreat, enjoy the freestanding 320 sq ft screened porch, which overlooks the mountains and provides a peaceful space for dining, relaxing, or even sleeping on warm nights.
A Stay for Every Season
Fern Rock is the perfect getaway no matter the time of year. Picture yourself:
- Relaxing in a hammock on a lazy summer afternoon
- Hiking through vibrant fall foliage
- Enjoying a hot tub soak after a day in the snow
- Planning a springtime picnic surrounded by nature
Whether it’s a romantic retreat or quality time with family and friends, this lodge is the perfect backdrop for your mountain adventure.
The Lodge Details
Built from antique logs with hardwood floors and chestnut cabinetry, the lodge feels spacious yet cozy. The main floor welcomes you with an open-concept living area, including a fully equipped kitchen, dining table for 8, island seating, and a charming breakfast nook. The family room offers plenty of seating to relax, while the first-floor queen bedroom provides easy access. Also on the first floor, you'll find a full bathroom and laundry facilities.
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer plenty of space for rest and relaxation, including the main king bedroom, a queen bedroom with TV, and a kids' room with bunk beds and a futon. A second full bathroom features an antique clawfoot tub and stand-up shower.
Sleeping Arrangements
- Main Bedroom (2nd floor): 1 king bed
- Queen Bedroom (2nd floor): 1 queen bed, TV (no cable)
- Kids’ Bedroom (2nd floor): 2 bunk beds (4 twin beds) + 1 full bed (futon)
- Queen Bedroom (1st floor): 1 queen bed
The Treetop Porch
Our 320 sq ft screened porch is perfect for gathering, dining, or simply unwinding with a book, while “The Perch” attached deck offers breathtaking mountain views.
The Location
Part of the charm of Fern Rock is its secluded mountain setting. We're located off the scenic Rattler (209), which winds along Spring Creek and leads to Hot Springs (30 minutes away). We recommend stocking up on supplies before arriving to fully relax and enjoy the peace of the retreat.
We do our best to provide all the essentials to make your stay as comfortable as possible, and we’re just a phone call away if you need anything. Our local contacts in Hot Springs are also available for support if needed.

About the host
Hosted by Danni Speight

The mountains of North Carolina have always held a special allure, and from the moment I first experienced their beauty, I knew it was a place I wanted to share with others. Planning a future surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains has become a cherished dream. In the meantime, I’ve explored countries in Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands, embracing a passion for adventure along the way.
As the new owner of Fern Rock Mountain Retreat, I'm excited to create a welcoming space where guests can craft their own unforgettable memories, just as I have during my travels.
