Lodge a Monti Blue Ridge

We were passengers as we rode with our friends and had to walk to and from the cabin. We know it is a historic lodge and they want to maintain that but safety is also...

“Nice clean room. The private balcony had a great view and was really cool in the early morning but it was too hot to use the rest of the day while we were there...temps in the 90's. We love this area and had previously stayed at The Evening Shade a few times and next door at Carters Lodge. We were really sad that one is gone and the other boarded up.
