What a perfect place to enjoy the quiet and rest.

Loved the location and the quietness of the area, cabin we stayed in was perfect, just wished we could have stayed longer. Definitely planning a return and telling friends about the stay. Made a friend in Olive, the owners dog, she's good company on a walk around the property. The lodge and kitchen are great, if you like to cook everything is there for you, and you don't have to smell up your cabin if you burn anything on the stove (not that we did, just a thought). Hiking and sights are all around you, great place to stay to recharge and step away from the hustle and angst we face... Awesome stay!!!!

It was great

I fell in absolute love with this entire place and all of the people. I will absolutely be back…again and again.

This property was simply beautiful. I would have appreciated a tv in our room, but perhaps it was good for me to go without.

The property is well kept and very clean. No restaurants near by, so be prepared with provisions. A bit strange that everything is done via email/text. But it works. Great kitchen if you plan to cook (30 minute span). I would definitely stay again if in the area.

Quiet stay in the woods. Perfect

The view on mnt Mitchel in the morning was magnificent.

Beautiful property and easy to check in to.

Wonderful location, great place to unplug and spend time with family! Lots of perks like hot chocolate, teas, coffee, plenty of board games, books, comfy books to read in and enjoy the view. The pups and kitty are a lovely addition, pups are super friendly. Owners are kind and helpful. Will definitely come again!

From the moment we drove up we realized that this is the quintessential cabin retreat. We we’re not disappointed. We will return.

I can’t say enough about how this lodging is a slice of heaven on so many fronts-gorgeous nature, sparkling clean, comfortable and hospitable rooms, attention to sustainability which is so important, very accommodating. Loved the ability to share the main lodge and eat on real plates utensils and the fireplace and fire pits onsite. It was a truly memorable weekend and thank you. We will return!

Everything is great , but the location is hard to head in at night and find the lodge in dark .

Wonderful place to stay! Enjoyed beautiful mountain views from the main lodge porch, quietness and peacefulness, nice and clean room, convenience of the main kitchen to make your own meals, proximity to blue ridge pkw. Thank you for sharing your place with us. Will definitely be back. Dalia

This is a wonderful property that values its guests. It seems they have thought of everything, Besides the wonderful and beautiful outdoor environment, the suites are a perfect, comfortable size with a clean, modern feel especially for a former ranch. The a/c & heat was so quiet! Throw pillows and lap blankets are a big plus. Great coffee, freedom to come up to the Lodge to cook our meals in the well-provided for kitchen and even take dishes & flatware to the room meant I need not have brought half of what I did bring. Sitting on the front porch in rocking chairs watching the sunlight play on the trees and mountains; playing cards or other games in the sizable lodge with the opp to meet others; sitting around a fire in Adirondack chairs and making S'mores; hiking on the trails, was all so enjoyable! Next time we will stay longer and use the grills. Pure relaxation. ML & GW

we liked this stay.. very quiet.. very clean . we had good stay here. checkin and checkout were seamless.. overall very good.

Beautiful place to get away for a weekend . The town is about 30 minutes away so it’s good to make a stop and get food and supplies as there aren’t many restaurants near by . They have a full kitchen for u to cook in main lobby and a fridge in the room . The Mountain View was breathtaking. Also the fur friends on the grounds made the trip extra special !!

It was nicero be in the mountains. The only downside is no breakfast unless u make it yourself. Too much like being at home. Lol. Otherwise it was a nice way to do a pre birthday celebration.

This was our second time staying, last September 2022 and this September 2023. Both stays were excellent. Cabin and cabin view excellent. Lodge, gourmet kitchen at lodge, and lodge view excellent. The location to hiking, waterfalls, mountains and peacefulness were excellent. We will be back again!!! We love the Eco Retreat!

We enjoyed our stay at the Mount Mitchell Eco Retreat. The accommodations were great, and the view of the mountains from our room was breathtaking. We did not realize the resort was not closer to Burnsville. It was not too far a drive, and the road there was a lot easier than the road to Marion. We also enjoyed the close access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Overall, we would recommend the lodge to others traveling in this area.

So peaceful and quiet. If you’re traveling by motorcycle,the road up to the retreat is gravel. It’s manageable but can be tricky.

Beautiful property The rooms were absolutely amazing, super clean. A very luxurious cabin with fridge, microwave, coffee pot The place is indeed a retreat from the city. Plan to bring your food and they have an excellent kitchen with all utensils, plates, cups and all beautiful family owners always checking to ensure guests are comfortable Would love to come back!

This was our first stay at this location. The owners have done an amazing job creating a soul-nurturing retreat. The cabin decor was lovely—with a current, minimalist flair. It was well-apportioned, and quality towels and linens gave it an upscale, spa-like feel. The strings of twinkling lights around the grounds complete the hygge atmosphere. My husband and I were visiting the area to scout out a possible retirement location, so we weren’t at the retreat long enough to immerse ourselves in all that the grounds had to offer—garden, fire pits, hiking, yoga, hammocks. But we appreciated returning to such a welcoming space at night.

Loved the location, peacefulness, and beauty. The cabin was cozy and inviting. Sat on the porch every night to watch the sun set and view the stars. The location is close to small towns and anything on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The dogs were a bonus and super cute! I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend!!

Easy directions sent by text for keycode entry. Place was quiet, clean and comfortable. Room had coffee maker, fridge and microwave. I would stay again!

Very peaceful and quiet with a wonderful view of the Black Mountain range. Unit arrangement provided good privacy for our teenage granddaughter as well as opportunities for spending time together. We had no interaction with staff - there was no need. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Really beautiful location. Easy check in/check out. Exceptionally clean both in the room and outside. Great place to enjoy quiet atmosphere and great views.

Great rooms and access to a full kitchen, very peaceful and relaxing, Thanks

Nicely updated rooms with nature all around. Bit hard to find after dark, but worth the drive.

Awesome place to get away from the hustle.

Great accommodations, close to where we needed to be and very clean property. Our stay was only a couple days but we had a great experience at the lodge and will likely be repeat customers!

My husband and I stumbled across this wonderful place when planning our Mt. Mitchell hike. We loved wandering around the grounds and sitting on the front porch with coffee in hand. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
