The views initially drew us in, and they're even more stunning than the photos suggest. We were absolutely delighted by how beautiful, clean, and meticulously maintained this secluded mountain home is. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the whole-home Sonos sound system to the impeccably organized and well-stocked kitchen, cozy furnishings, and fenced yard perfect for our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking again!
No words to describe how beautiful and well thought through this place is! You'll get the best of everything over here. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with your loved ones, this is it!
the home was everything we wanted. the fenced in yard for our dogs was HUGE. we saw so many bears in the neighborhood on the way up to the cabin. a plethora of wildlife around us. so many wild berries growing. very comfortable and enough space that the whole family was able to relax and enjoy.
Fantastic property! The views are as advertised and the furnishings are top notch. The Sonos sound system throughout the house was awesome. I was especially impressed with the detailed labeling of contents of almost every cabinet/drawer in the kitchen. Definitely hope to return.
Beautiful home and views. The sounds system I didn’t know I needed. Fully equipped kitchen. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend!
Great, spacious, grand cabin with high end amenities. Love that it is contactless checkin and pet friendly. Host was friendly and cabin was very clean. We played games in the game room and thoroughly enjoyed the piano. The views....OMG...AMAZING views of the mountains and lake lure. Highly recommend.
Can't even begin to express the joy that we receive when we stay at this property. It is such a magical place. Very clean and well stocked with everything you can imagine. Can't wait to return!
This is one of the most beautiful properties we have stayed at over many years of vacationing in and around Black Mountain. The home is spacious, spotless, and has a gorgeous view. Really couldn't ask for anything more. Grateful that the owners are willing to share their beautiful place with others!
Really enjoyed our time at 'At Last Lodge'! Beautiful location, outfitted with luxury amenities. Whole-house Sonos system (an audiophile's dream house)! Everything in the house was top quality, comfortable, well-labeled, and well thought out. Can't wait to return!
Absolutely beautiful views! House is spacious and very well laid out. Love the bar/TV room and game rooms downstairs. Definitely get what you need BEFORE going up the mountain. I'd recommend one trip up/down the mountain per day.
Has to be one of the best houses in the NC mountains.
Incredible view from the huge living room windows. Very secluded, can only see one other far away house in the entire area from the view. big bedrooms, everything tastefully put together in the house, clean, 3full bed/bath and room for more in the other common areas. Could easily comfortably accomodate at least 8-10 people. Highly recommend, wonderful place.
Was everything we were looking for. Drive is no joke and like all the other reviews suggest, make a plan to go out as little as possible. Wind and ice made us hunker down for two days but that was our plan anyway. House has everything. Views are amazing. Perfect Xmas spot
We had an amazing time at this cabin over Labor Day weekend. We went to get away from the city and that is exactly what this house is for - secluded, private, and has everything you need and plenty of space for everyone. Loved that view and are still talking about how great it was! Only things missing were a grill and a fire pit (but just our opinion). Everything else is spectacular and we will be back.
Amazing everything.
Kitchen was perfect. I love to cook and we prepped meals every night except lunch.
Beds and bedding are the only opportunity for improvement.
As soon as you enter this cabin it is so amazing. All the views are breathtaking. My family and I had so much fun we didn’t want to leave. It is a great place to just unplug from reality. This place is a good distance from everything, so a great place to stay if you don’t want to go anywhere other than local area. Outside area was ok for dogs, just wish it had grassy area instead of stones, which tore up my dogs paws. Would love to come and stay again.
Amazing escape from the craziness of the world! Beautiful home. Beautiful view. I would suggest buying groceries for the entire stay, since it is removed from local stores. Also, in really bad weather, I would suggest a 4wd, due to winding roads. For us...it was perfect, and we will be back!

Reviewer Comments:
House was very clean upon arrival. Property "At Last" cabin was exceptionally well decorated, with everything we needed and more for a wonderful, relaxing stay. The views were incredible from the house, and Greybeards service was top notch, even accomodating my request to stay another day with no hassel or complication. Looking forward to staying again.

We’ve rented several WNC mountain homes over the years and this one was our favorite. The house is stunningly well built, with the most beautiful long range view of the mountains and Lake Lure. The furnishings are gorgeous, the kitchen well appointed, and the beds comfortable. We had our two labs with us, and there was a convenient front yard for them to enjoy. The house is in a very private location, and the paved roads up the mountain were relatively easy to navigate. We would stay here again in a minute if we could. A+++++++
