About this property

Muir Lodge - 6 miles from Blowing Rock with Hot Tub, 3 Master Suites & Pet Friendly!

Beautiful Muir Lodge is located 6 miles outside of Blowing Rock and near the Blue Ridge Parkway. It has great views of Grandfather Mountain from both upper and lower decks. You will love the incredible post and beam architecture of this mountain house and the feel of up scale living.

When you enter Muir Lodge on the ground floor you can move through the entry into the downstairs den with sitting area and a 46" flat screen HD Cable TV with Bose sound system and DVD player. Adjacent to the downstairs den is the lower deck and Jacuzzi Hot Tub. Located on either side of the den are the downstairs bedrooms. One is a king bed suite with a private full bath and the other has a queen bed with a full bath across the hall. Both bedrooms have direct access to the lower deck.

At the top of the stairs is the beautiful open great room with upstairs living room, dining room and kitchen. In this large room you can fully enjoy the post and beam structure of the house and the exposed wood grain ceiling. The living room has a large flat screen HDTV, DVD player, leather sofa and a love seat (pull out twin sleeper) and freestanding wood burning stove. The open kitchen has stainless steel appliances including a Keurig, granite counter tops and an island bar with chairs.

The upper deck is adjacent to the living and dining rooms with direct access and has a sitting area to enjoy Grandfather Mountain views and breathe in that clean mountain air. There is a master bedroom suite upstairs with a king bed and upper deck access. There is also a half bath adjacent to the kitchen and living area upstairs.

Muir Lodge is sitting on a near flat lot with paved drive and parking area. Located just 6 miles to Blowing Rock, 12 miles to Grandfather Mountain and about a mile to the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway Muir Lodge will not disappoint guest looking for a wonderful mountain experience.

Awesome House and Stunning View

The house was wonderful for a extended weekend away with my daughter husband and sister in law and her husband. The hot tub is clean, spacious, amazing! My favorite part of the whole house might be the gliding chairs in the upper deck. We hopped in to the blue ridge parkway SO easily! Such a perfect location to explore Boone and Blowing Rock! Can’t miss spots: Roscoe Gem Mining Grandfather MTn Winery Linville Falls We absolutely loved our stay here and already talked about coming back again!

Rustic

We did a week at the Muir Lodge and overall were able to enjoy our break despite some challenging circumstances. The positives of this location is that it is very close to many activities as well as shopping centers making it easy to keep the family entertained. The cabin is private and is well equipped with plenty of kitchen utensils, board games, movies and towels. There's a lovely fire pit and a bundle of complimentary wood is provided to start your vacation. Now for the negatives, the property is presented as three master bedroom with bathrooms that include tubs and showers this was a selling point for our family, two of the bathrooms did not have functioning tubs as water was turned off to them. It appears work was being done on an upstairs area and this was not new but not mentioned in the listing. The other issue is the hot tub, this is an amenity many ppl book for and spend extra money on however on our arrival it was not able to be enjoyed due to the smell and discoloration of water. The management team did send a tech out on our third day there( it was a holiday weekend) and he had to empty the tub and refill it in order for it to be used. The management team did try to address issues and Amy was lovely however we only enjoyed the hot tub for 3 out of 7 days. Per contract refunds don't occur even though we did not get the amenities we paid for, they did refund us under 10%. We loved our vaca but may not book with this organization again due to their policies

Wasn’t what we expected from pictures and description

Our vacation in the mountains was great. Blowing Rock downtown is quaint and fun, rafting was a blast and the Boone Fork Loop hiking was amazing. However, we were not impressed with this property/stay, and I’m normally very forgiving. First, it says it sleeps up to 9 people, and my wife and I, with our 5 kids had a hard time sleeping 7. The pull out couch was horrible and had to put it on the ground, and it still was not comfortable for my wife while I slept on the couch to get some kind of sleep. The house was hot and I could not find the thermostat to save my life, so I slept with the deck doors open, and got scarred awake by a bear attacking the trash can one night. The bathrooms were very nice, but the shower walls had mold all in the grout. The hot tub great for the kids but it was over chlorinated. You get a very limited view of the mountains, as it was not high up at all. And in order to watch TV, you have to be an AV expert to understand the three remotes to make the system work. The place has potential, but the pictures need updating, they should update the description so they don’t oversell the property, and then they need to address all these concerns so the next family can enjoy their stay. I’m sorry for the poor review, but it’s hard for me to give a great rating when it just wasn’t great.

Great Getaway House

We had a wonderful time getting together in this house. It was perfect for three adult couples. The three bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice, the kitchen well equipped and views from the upper deck were lovely, especially at sunset. We did not use the fire pit or hot tub but it was nice to know they were there. It was an easy drive into Blowing Rock and to hikes locations. We would definitely rent again. Our only problem was in our rush to get out in the morning, we all seemed to have left something - hope they are good about returning items.

Lovely house and great location

Between Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain and conveniently located on a road that is yards from the parkway and only a few hundred yard from 221. The house was wonderful. The decks were a hit for the view and the chairs. Used the hot tub and the firepit. Would definitely book again in the future.

Best Mountain Vacation

We had a great time at Muir Glen and did not want to leave. The house was clean, well decorated and felt homey. We enjoyed the beautiful views of Grandfather Mountain from the decks and the proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway could not be beat especially for my husband who loves to rode bike on the parkway! Staying at Muir Glen was our family's best mountain getaway and we would definitely consider staying at the home again!

Great family vacation!

Loved our stay at the Muir Lodge. The house is a great size so everyone is comfortable and the kitchen well stocked to make wonderful meals. Our only let down was the backyard, as it appeared to have a fire pit under construction. There was construction materials left out during our stay plastic tubing, tools and misplaced large stones. All of this in my opinion was not pleasant to look out over on deck and also unsafe. We were disappointed that the outside fire pit was also not usable. For the price we paid per night this should have been cleaned up prior to our check in. Overall a great place to stay in a wonderful location but needs some TLC. Also, the thermostat display is broken and we were unable to determine the temperature of the home the entire visit, which the owner did try to fix remotely however this was an issue for the trip as well. Again for the top rate we paid for this holiday week these concerns should have been fixed prior to check in.

Perfect Vacation

We recently came back from our stay at Muir Lodge and it far exceeded my expectations! The house was very comfortable and very roomy. Each bedroom had a large master bathroom. There was a living area in the lower level which we never used as well as the very comfortable living area on the upper level. The deck overlooking Grandfather Mountain was perfect, especially for a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The location of the home was perfect as well -- just off the Blue Ridge Parkway and just a few minutes to Downtown Blowing Rock, Moses Cone Park or an easy drive to the town of Boone. We were a family of 5 adults (4 millenials) and everyone had a great time. I hope we will be back in the not too distant future!!
