Merrywether Lodge is centrally located between Boone and Blowing Rock, just minutes to either town and all High Country attractions including a mile from the Art of Living Retreat Center. Only minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, location this good is hard to find!

Featuring three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and additional sleeping space in the loft, this is the perfect getaway cabin for a small family or group of friends! The master bedroom on the main level features a king bed, TV and full bathroom. Upstairs you'll find a queen room (complete with a large workspace which has a TV that doubles as a computer monitor!) and a room with two twin beds. These bedrooms share a full bathroom on the hallway. Also upstairs is a spacious loft with an antique arcade machine featuring 60 fun games! There are also 2 twin sleeper chairs (linen provided). Each bedroom is complete with blackout curtains or blackout blinds, allowing you to get a restful nights sleep!

Outside, guests can relax on the large, mostly covered wrap around porch enjoying breakfast, lunch, or dinner or simply a cup of coffee from the Nespresso Machine at sunrise before heading out to explore town. There is a gas grill on the porch for guests to use (propane will be provided). Roast marshmallows and tell campfire stories down by the fire pit, or take a dip in the brand new hot tub after a challenging day hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Perfect way to unwind!
