About this property

Fern Leaf Lodge - Welcoming home, seasonal views, hot tub, pet friendly!

Welcome to Fern Leaf Lodge! Relax and enjoy all that this spacious 5 bedroom home offers, including seasonal mountain views, a firepit, and a hot tub!

The main level features an open great room with airy vaulted ceilings, lots of windows, a floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace, a big TV, doors leading to the deck, and a selection of furniture facing the windows and fireplace. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you'll need to prepare delicious meals and snacks that you can enjoy at the dining table nearby.

There's fun for all ages to be had here! Step outside and take a dip in the covered hot tub, the perfect place to relax away your cares. And on the main level deck you'll find a selection of cushioned furniture around a gas firetable, the perfect place to kick back and enjoy the ambiance of the mountains while you take in the seasonal mountain views. There's also a gas grill here.

Time for bed? Fern Leaf Lodge offers four proper bedrooms and two semi-enclosed areas, for a total of six sleeping areas. On the main level is the master suite with Queen bed and ensuite with shower, as well as a Queen bedroom and a bedroom with one twin bed. These two bedrooms share a full bathroom with tub/shower. Upstairs in the semi enclosed loft you'll find two single Twin beds, with a half bath attached. And on the lower floor is a room with a Queen bed and a hall bathroom with tub/shower, as well as a set of full-over-full bunks and a trundle in the rec room.

With everything that Fern Leaf Lodge has to offer, you might not ever want to leave this haven! If you do, you'll be just moments away from all the delicious local dining Beech Mountain has to offer, as well as minutes to the entrance of Beech Mountain Ski Resort for both winter fun and the annual Autumn At Oz celebrations. Downtown Banner Elk and the rest of the High Country are just a short drive away, as well, so you can even experience more activities including Horseback Riding, UTV tours, an Alpine Roller Coaster, White Water Rafting and Tubing Trips, Dining, Shopping, and so much more.

Also located just a short distance from the home is the Beech Mountain Club where guests can enjoy access to private restaurants & events, professional tennis, a fitness center, pickleball courts, and a heated pool to name just a few amenities. Guest passes must be requested (Sports-level membership is available) and the transfer fee must be paid for in advance to the Club.

Excellent Mountain House

Stayed with multiple families for the weekend. This place is great! Kitchen is well stocked and the house is very thoughtful. It’s ready for pets (treats, blankets, towels for their paws). Very clean and good communication from rental company. Great downstairs with games for the kids. The kids loved it! Would definitely recommend.

2025 family ski trip

We enjoyed our stay! We have a family of 12 and the house accommodated us well. The living room is a little small for a big family, but we all had a great time. We really liked the parking. Lots of room to park.

Awesome experience

The property was cozy, great location, plenty of fun things to do. However, the baseman was more spacious than the first floor, the listing says 5 rooms but in reality there are 4 rooms and a loft with 2 twin beds, which is great if you don't mind the noise from the living room. We got snowed in the first day which was the reason we went (we wanted snow), so we were very happy about it. the whole family was sledding down the hill in the property, then went for a walk. The jacuzzy was a perfect way to relax after playing all day in the snow, we had plenty of board games to play with kids and adults. We turned on the gas fire pit in the deck, we also got white tail deer (about 7) visitors showed up thought the days during our stay, and went shopping to the near by stores.We had a great stay and would book again for my family.

Perfection!

We had the most amazing stay at this well equipped cabin! The owners thought of everything! The cabin was clean and decorated for Christmas. We had to bring our dog last minute, and it was the most pet friendly place I’ve stayed. We enjoyed the comfort of the cabin, the hot tub, the sleds, the deer, and the Beech Mountain area. It snowed our second day. As an FYI, the description states there is a gas fireplace, but it is electric logs. I missed the cozy warmth of a gas or log fireplace. My only recommendation is more comfy seating in the main living area. We would definitely go again! Thank you for the memories we were able to make here!

Nice stay

The common areas are smaller than they appear in photos. The bottom floor is very spacious. Overall, a great stay. If staying in winter, best to have 4 wheel drive.

Awesome memories made

We loved everything about this house. Much better than expected. The house is beautifully done, the land surrounding the house was fun to explore. The kids loved the deer everywhere. And they came to close to us it was crazy. Fun hiking trails within walking distance. Short drive to some really cool trails leading to waterfalls. Thank you for letting us call your home ours for a week! We will miss Beech Mountain!

Weekend Getaway

Great house, a little smaller than we expected from viewing the pictures but lots to do, good entertainment areas and very clean. Pretty good location. One of the biggest drawing cards to the listing for us was the hot tub, which we were never able to get up to temperature. We were very disappointed as were the kids since this was one of the main reasons we booked the property. The property managers requested I call maintenance, but they weren't able to get there in time before our departure the next day. Given the cost of the booking, I requested some kind of discount for the weekend since one of the main attractions to the house was not working as listed. We never heard back.

Great place, pet friendly, nice neighborhood

The location is great and close to Beech Mountain. The house is located in the middle of a neighborhood, surrounded by the forest. The kids loved the downstairs area and the hot tub. It’s a very dog-friendly rental with waste bags and treats stocked on the main floor. The dog cage was much-appreciated as we didn’t have to bring ours. I would absolutely stay there again.

The house was very comfortable. When we arrived the cook top was greasy and dirty. The hot tub wouldn’t above 83 degrees.
