2-Bedrooms in guest house above garage, connected to main house by breezeway: 1-Full w/ Twin, 1-Queen w/ Twin + various pullout couches throughout the house.

Location: Only 15 minutes to Boone! Banner Elk address along the Foscoe line (between Boone and Banner Elk). Located in the prestigious and upscale Glens of Grandfather community. Walk to the Watauga River or hike down from your back deck!

Welcome to River Falls Lodge, a fully renovated Watauga River Mountain Lodge located in the Glens of Grandfather community in Banner Elk North Carolina (just outside of Grandfather Mountain! Just 10 minutes to downtown Banner Elk NC and 15 minutes to downtown Boone NC (and a short drive to Blowing Rock right up the Blue Ridge Parkway), its location on the Watauga River, with waterfalls directly outside your back door, almost an arm's reach from your private hot tub, this group rental Lodge could not be a better location or have a better scripted setting.

Your vacation home features a full 7 bedrooms, with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on two levels in the main house and an additional 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom in the guest house located above your garage and connected by a short breezeway. There will be plenty of space for your family to enjoy each other's company with over 3700+ square feet of living space indoors and so much more space outdoors! Your vacation cabin features a fully equipped kitchen (technically 3 kitchen spaces!!!), two fireplaces, cable TV (upstairs and downstairs), WiFi that covers the entire property, DVD library, a second kitchen in the guest house, family-friendly firepit, 6 person HOT TUB, central heat, central air (A/C), washer and dryer, gaming system and office space in the guest house. Not to mention your own private pond, a reading hammock adjacent to your own private waterfalls and Watauga River frontage (its a hike down to the river through brush) whose sounds will tickle your ears and make lasting mountain memories.

The outdoor space of this Pet Friendly Banner Elk Lodge is what sells this cabin - the breezeway separating the main house from the guest house, multi-level decks, enjoy the outdoor dining space, a new gas grill, plenty of outdoor seating, a family-friendly firepit, the family-size hot tub, and what was previously mentioned but deserves an additional highlight, your own private pond, and, of course, the gentle sounds of nature; the rushing water of the Watauga River.

At Falls Lodge will find 3 bedrooms on the main floor and with only a few steps into this rental, this is perfect for the elders in your family or group, two additional bedrooms downstairs and the two in your guest house. You have a den upstairs and the great room downstairs, thus your Carolina Cabin Rental truly allows for multi-generational late-night fun as you can be loud on one side of the house without waking certain bedrooms or the guest house! The layout plays so well, the multiple dens and TVs, the huge outdoor spaces with Grandfather Mountain views and river views (the river runs the whole backside of your Lodge!), all sitting on 3 acres, you have all the space in the world, your own slice of mountain paradise! Accessibility is as good as you will find year-round as the community takes very good care of the roads, but we will always recommend 4x4 during the peak winter months.

For a limited time, families will be allowed to rent Waterfall Lodge for only 3 nights!

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE. WE SIT IN A DESIRABLE, LUXURY MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY WITH A 9PM CURFEW. THIS IS THE ONLY SHORT TERM RENTAL ALLOWED IN THE COMMUNITY! PLEASE KEEP QUIET OUTSIDE AFTER 9PM OR SIMPLY TAKE THE FUN INSIDE :)

Great for large families
Had family all come in town together for our sons wedding on Grandfather Mt. and this was perfect house for all 18 of us to stay. Great space for everyone to be comfortable and well stocked with everything you’ll need. Beds were very comfortable too. The location is perfect, close to activities and restaurants. Used the hot tub and fire pit too! Was all absolutely perfect for our special gathering!! Definitely recommend staying here if looking for place for a large group.

Delightful Mountain stay
After several years of family vacations to the beach, our stay at The Glens was much cooler and more relaxing. Young and old enjoyed the hot tub. We gathered around the fire pit three nights. All the attractions we wanted were close by. The Watauga River at the back of the property is beautiful. We all want to come back again.

Beautiful property!
This place was absolutely perfect for our family reunion of 12 adults, 6 kids. The house itself could use a deep clean, but we basically only used the indoors for sleeping. We lived on the back porches, overlooking the river. The kids played outdoors the entire time. We cooked all our meals in the well stocked kitchen. Communication with the host was prompt and clear. We would love to come back many more times.

Family trip
The best part about the property was the outdoor area, which was great to play for the little kids we had with us. The fire pit was really awesome as well. The biggest issue we had with the house is that we had our elderly parents and the dining room and kitchen or two steps above the main living room, and there was no handrail, so we constantly had to help them every time they needed to go from one place to another.

Worked great
We rented this house for a ski trip with 2 other families and it was perfect for our needs and wants. Each family was able to have their own area of the house while we were also able to enjoy each others company around the dining room table and outside on the deck and in the hot tub. The common spaces were not huge so might not be great if your looking for more open space but we really enjoyed it

I would highly recommend this place. Plenty of room for all our family to spread out and yet still be together. Convenient location to many area attractions. Home was clean and well stocked. Our host gave quick response to our messages. We loved our stay!
