Description Description
Situated on Green Mountain just south of Blue Ridge, Lake Vista Lodge is a relaxing getaway where you can escape from the everyday world, enjoy the company of your family and friends, and marvel at the peaceful, 50-mile views of Lake Blue Ridge and mountains as far as the eye can see. 

Featuring a wildlife and nature theme, Lake Vista Lodge’s rooms are rustic yet modern with hardwood floors and tongue and groove walls and ceiling throughout, making this cabin a warm and welcoming place. The beds, dining room table and chairs were all handmade by a local furniture maker.  

Lake Vista Lodge brings out the best of each season. In the fall, the oaks, maples, birch, and poplar trees are ablaze with yellow, orange and red leaves. In the winter, relish peace and tranquility and perhaps a gentle snowfall while nestled in front of the fireplace. In springtime, witness renewal as trees awaken and flowers bloom. Escape the heat of summer in the city and delight in cool breezes and the occasional spectacular lightning storm as it moves across the sky. And don’t be surprised to see deer, turkeys, and maybe even a black bear wandering in the area.

Outdoor enthusiasts will bask in days filled with hiking, rafting, canoeing, swimming, boating, and more. If you’re seeking a bit of rest and relaxation, there is nothing better than simply swinging or rocking on the porch and soaking up the beautiful vista of Lake Blue Ridge, the mountains surrounding it, and on clear days, the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee and North Carolina beyond. On rainy days, kids will have fun playing Xbox 360 Kinect with games, or choosing amongst plenty of books and board games. Grownups can play billiards or indulge in a dip in the hot tub from the comfort of the covered porch.  

Make dinners at home or head to the vibrant town of Blue Ridge for numerous dining and entertainment options. Later, listen to the crackle of a warm fire in the fire pit while gazing up at thousands of stars and the Milky Way. Finally, four charming bedrooms await you every night, each continuing the wildlife and nature theme in their own unique ways. Curl up with a good book in your cozy, handcrafted bed and look forward to tomorrow’s adventures.

Lake Vista Lodge was built as a welcoming place for families and friends to come together to enjoy simple pleasures and each other’s company. Create your own traditions and special memories here that you’ll share for many years to come.

Well thought through home with the guest experience in mind. Having all the necessities and easy instructions for all items in the home. Very welcoming touches, and I look forward to booking again in the future. As the previous owner of an Airbnb I know what it takes to deliver a 5 star experience and it was nailed here. Thank you

We loved the fact that there were so many different things to do in this cabin, the variety of the rooms, that there were plenty of towels, blankets, and covers to cover up with. We loved all the fireplaces inside and outside! We loved the jacuzzi! We also loved all of the tvs where we could watch from inside of just one location. We loved all the lighting on the cabin. Most of all we loved the views from the cabin and the location of the cabin! The cabin wasn't far from town at all which we loved!

Fun Adventures!
We went to Toccoa Valley Tubing (Pink Tubes), Zip-lining in Helen at Nacooche Adventures. We especially enjoyed eating meals out on the patio with the great views. Beautiful cabin with comfortable beds and cozy feel throughout. Super clean and you have it fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Can't wait to come back.

The house was absolutely perfect! Everything is so well thought out and the attention to detail was amazing--including the labeling of the lights and kitchen items. We were so comfortable(the beds were great) and had so much to do at the house that we almost didn't want to leave to do activities. The view is incredible and we spent most of our time in the outdoor area surrounding the fireplace. We loved that the house was secluded, but also close to town. We will be back for sure!

Fire & Ice Festival
We came up from Florida and happened to be here for the Fire & Ice Festival--we recommend it if you happen to be here this time of year. Lake Vista Lodge was a great place--everything perfect. Great view! Place was great and we had a great time. Would love to come back.

We loved the gorgeous view that was visible on every level of the house. The multiple outdoor fireplaces/fire pit and seating allowed for an exceptional experience outside, so relaxing and beautiful. The pack-filled game room with plentiful seating and refrigerator for refreshments made for fun filled nights when the sun went down. The kitchen was very well stocked down to a great garlic press. (Even the smallest of things like that made us all happy!) The kitchen layout was great allowing for multiple people to be able to be prepping and cooking dinners all together. We enjoyed that a lot!

First and foremost, the beds were exceptionally comfortable. The cabin was located close to everything and was relatively easy to find. The rooms were large. There was plenty of storage for our things. The screened in porch was great and the view was fantastic. The fire pit and hot tub were very nice. Your company, Escape to Blue Ridge is great. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly, courteous, and helpful. The selection of rentals it fantastic. We are looking forward to planning next years getaway.
