About this property
Blue Moon Lodge: Reconnect with Family and Friends with Room to Spread Out!
Blue Moon is a stunning 6 bedroom, 6 bath (4 full and 2 half baths) just under 4,300 sq. foot lodge with over 4,000 sq. feet of covered porch located in the beautiful Hidden Valley community. It sleeps 26 in beds, with 4 of those spots being 2 pull-out couch beds. With 5 of the bedrooms having king size beds, full dressers and large closets, it's perfect for large groups or multiple families to share and still have plenty of private space. The 'Eagles Nest' is the perfect space for all the kids. Two queen over queen bunk beds, two twin over twin bunk beds a half bath and a TV with DVD player will have them fighting over who gets to stay up there! We have separate A/C units for each level, so you can now control the temperature of each level independently.
The main level has a gourmet kitchen equipped with everything you'll need to cook that award winning meal for the entire group. The open kitchen/living room lets the cook be part of all the activity even while preparing their masterpiece! If grilling is your specialty, you'll love to be on cooking duty with our 6 burner propane grill (propane provided). With indoor seating for 16 and multiple outdoor tables, there's plenty of room for everyone to eat at the same time.
Head down to the lower level and let the fun begin! The game room is equipped with a pool table, air hockey table, ping pong, darts, and foosball. The main gathering space has 3 full size couches, a kitchenette with full size refrigerator, stove, microwave and corner bar. There are plenty of board games, card games and movies to entertain for hours.
If the inside space isn't enough, move on out to the 4,000+ sq. feet of covered porch. With breathtaking views of Crabtree Bald, hot tub, tons of rocking chairs, tables, games, etc., you may not want to go back inside! Start a camp fire at the large fire pit and let the stories begin. If the chairs are not already around the fire pit, they should be stacked underneath the porch just to the side of it.
The location of this lodge allows you to enjoy the tranquility of the smoky mountains while still being close to Asheville, Waynesville, and Maggie Valley, Max Patch, Hot Springs and more! We are surrounded by a multitude of mountain activities such as hiking, zip lines, white water rafting, tubing, fishing, waterfalls, skiing, and elk viewing. The amazing Biltmore Mansion is only 35 miles away. Harrah's Cherokee Casino and Ocanaluftee Indian Village are within a scenic hour drive. You can also enjoy the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg, TN which can be reached in about 1 1/2 hours.
Please note, this is our family's home. We are very dedicated to keeping this lodge extremely well equipped and will continue to improve the amenities so that you will want to come back year after year. However, in order to do this, we need quality and like minded renters. If you are looking for a great home away from home, we'd love to share ours with you! If you're looking for a place to drink excessively, play loud music, let the kids run wild, or have a crazy uncle Bob that likes to shoot guns off the porch, please go ahead and mark this rental off your search!!
We have doorbell cameras installed at the front door (covers the front approach), lower north side door (covers stairs and approach), and lower south side door (covers south side exterior approach and parking area)
We are located in a quiet mountain community with many local residents. We observe community outside quiet hours of 10:00 pm to 7:00 am. Violation of this noise ordinance may result in immediate termination of your stay with no refund.
Blue Moon is accessible by wheelchair via the ramp, however only the main level is accessible, as the upper and lower levels are only accessible via stairs. The driveway is gravel as well, in case that may pose any issues.
Please respect the speed limit and other drivers on the road up the mountain. Due to potential snow in the winter months, trip insurance and/or 4 wheel drive is highly recommended for winter rentals.

This was our annual Women's retreat. Property was perfect and the kitchen was well stocked! We even got a surprise dusting of snow! Great time! Great place!
Our young adult ministry has used this home for two years now, and we love the property and location! It is close enough to several unique mountain towns but secluded enough and big enough to spread out and unplug and have a great time together. The owners are very helpful and quick to respond with any questions you may have!
The cabin was perfect for our family. It had many extras that we didn’t expect such as hotel
shampoos and lotions. The kitchen was stocked well with cooking needs.
We were very happy with this cabin for our friend reunion weekend. It was very clean and there were plenty of bathrooms for everyone. The host communicated with us promptly when we had questions or concerns. Would definitely stay here again or recommend to a friend.
We have stayed at this cabin in the past and it doesn't disappoint! Comfortable space for multiple families and about 30 minutes from Maggie Valley. We go hiking each year, riding stable also close as well.
We celebrated our Mother’s 80th birthday here with our whole family! Kitchen with everything you need! Super amazing bunk-bedroom where all the young girls stayed! We had the best time ever!
Our college and young professional group takes an annual trip to the mountains, and we were thrilled with this spacious house! We had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy Bible studies together. The hosts are very accommodating and keep in touch to make sure you have everything you need. It's reasonably secluded without being too far away from anything, and the views and the hot tub were awesome!
There were 14 of us total and no one was even close to cramped. The house is set up to accommodate large groups and provides plenty of entertainment even if you can’t get out. We use it as a home base and it was great. The owners were more than accommodating keeping in touch with us along the way.
This house was tucked away in the mountains as promised. The views were amazing from the TWO wrap around decks. The house was clean and gorgeous with all amenities needed to relax. Plenty of room for 10 of us staying. Brett and Stephanie were always there to answer any questions immediately. Thank you for a great stay!
We had a great time with our family of 14. The two full wraparound porches gave lots of outdoor enjoyment even when it rained. The game room was a lot of fun. Plenty of towels and great water pressure. We took day trips to Grandfather Mountain, Botanical garden and checking out some of the many local breweries. We also got a fantastic family picture by a hugh tree at the Bird Sanctuary.
We stayed with a group of teenagers and it was the perfect place. Plenty of room to spread out. The first floor had the game area, a small kitchen, 2 bedrooms with king sized beds and two bathrooms. The second/main floor had 3 bedrooms with king beds and 2 1/2 bathrooms. The third floor housed the bunk room and another half bath. The house was well appointed with everything we needed. Communication with the homeowners was wonderful. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and were quick to respond with any questions.
We took a girl’s trip to the mountains and this cabin had everything we needed and then some! The bedrooms were large and the bathrooms were plentiful for a group of 7 women.
We enjoyed the clean hot tub, the morning coffee chats and the evening sunsets all on the porch.
As to be expected, the internet / cell service was sparse, but you rent homes in the mountains to be disconnected from the hustle and bustle and reconnect with nature and the ones you are traveling with.
We would definitely rent this home again on our next trip to the Asheville area!
We had reserved this cabin for a lot of our family who was coming to my daughters wedding in Asheville. We all had a great time in the cabin. The property is beautiful, the property is exactly as is pictured online. This is a great place to just relax, and enjoy family time or time with friends. I would highly recommend if you’re in that area and looking for a large cabin for a large group of people, that this is a place for you to go to be peaceful, and just enjoy yourself. The last mile and a half drive to the cabin is on a very narrow road which is 2 way traffic, but very difficult to get 2 vehicles on it, other than that, no issues at all with the cabin.
Pros:
The house is very large. Comfortable beds for people. We comfortably fit 4 vehicles there. 2 Large open kitchen and living room areas on lower and middle floor! Great for family time!
Large wrap around porches with plenty of space for cooking/eating/etc.
Owners were friendly and called to let us know we could check in early! They had 2 high chairs that were a huge help for us. Fun pool table, Hot tub and ping pong.
Cons:
Wifi was not the best. The satellite TVs didn’t work great either and zero cell service at the cabin….but sometimes that isn’t always a bad thing! Air hockey table didn’t blow air very well but still usable.
This was the perfect home to host a short getaway with a group of friends. Five small families (each with 1-2 young children) all stayed together, and it was SO comfortable. The rooms are spacious, the living areas were open, and FIVE KING BEDS was the cherry on top. We had room to spread out without anyone feeling isolated. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and the wide variety of entertainment options kept everyone happy. The only negative we could find about the property was that the drive in was a tight gravel road that was pretty steep. It didn’t give us any trouble, but also isn’t ideal for anxious drivers (or passengers!). But honestly, the view was worth it! This also isn’t the best location if you absolutely need to have access to cell service. A landline is available in the cabin though and you can get service within a mile or so of the house. Overall, fantastic home in a beautiful location with everything you might need. If this house is available, we will 100% return for another vacation with friends!
Christmas vacation with the family (4 families technically) was amazing at Blue Moon Lodge. The host were amazing with communication. We didn't want to eat out so each family had days to cook so we had a ton of food. Having two kitchens was extremely helpful. The was so much space for all of us to spread out and come together. The adults turned into kids as we played downstairs in the game area. Every morning we had plenty of space to do yoga before breakfast. And of course everyone favorite was the outside. Hot tub overlooking the beautiful mountain view, wrap around deck to relax or take stunning pictures was just the best. Unfortunately, I had a few issues. The floors were dirty and desperately needed to be swept. The towels and wash rags probably need to be replaced. The dishes, silverware and cooking appliances were a struggle to use at times because they were old and worn out. I didn't expect to have high end kitchen tools but some of the appliances, silverware, etc. need some attention. Also, the chairs in the dining room/bar need some station as well. But none of that ruined our vacation. This place has plenty of space and amenities to keep us entertained. Would definitely return to this beautiful cabin. The pictures do not do this place justice. Thank you again Brett and Stephanie. My family had an amazing time at your lovely home.
We loved the lodge. We used it as a home base for activities during a bachelor party. Great golf nearby, paintball nearby, we even had a private chef come in for an evening. The lodge was perfect for a large group, it was a blast. Brett is a thoughtful host who took care of any issues we had quickly.
