At Last Lodge was an awesome home with amazing views. We loved the screened room off the main bedroom and living room that had a gas fireplace. We sat out there and enjoyed nature. The home is very private without us even seeing another vehicle for several days. We've stayed on Gateway Mountain at several homes which are all nice, but At Last Lodge was one of the best for a 70th birthday celebration!

The views initially drew us in, and they're even more stunning than the photos suggest. We were absolutely delighted by how beautiful, clean, and meticulously maintained this secluded mountain home is. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the whole-home Sonos sound system to the impeccably organized and well-stocked kitchen, cozy furnishings, and fenced yard perfect for our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking again!

Has to be one of the best houses in the NC mountains.

Incredible view from the huge living room windows. Very secluded, can only see one other far away house in the entire area from the view. big bedrooms, everything tastefully put together in the house, clean, 3full bed/bath and room for more in the other common areas. Could easily comfortably accomodate at least 8-10 people. Highly recommend, wonderful place.

Perfect Getaway

We had an amazing time at this cabin over Labor Day weekend. We went to get away from the city and that is exactly what this house is for - secluded, private, and has everything you need and plenty of space for everyone. Loved that view and are still talking about how great it was! Only things missing were a grill and a fire pit (but just our opinion). Everything else is spectacular and we will be back.

A must stay experience

As soon as you enter this cabin it is so amazing. All the views are breathtaking. My family and I had so much fun we didn’t want to leave. It is a great place to just unplug from reality. This place is a good distance from everything, so a great place to stay if you don’t want to go anywhere other than local area. Outside area was ok for dogs, just wish it had grassy area instead of stones, which tore up my dogs paws. Would love to come and stay again.

Amazing escape from the craziness of the world! Beautiful home. Beautiful view. I would suggest buying groceries for the entire stay, since it is removed from local stores. Also, in really bad weather, I would suggest a 4wd, due to winding roads. For us...it was perfect, and we will be back!
