Breathaway Lodge - Long-range views, hot tub, fire pit, modern

Breathaway Lodge Boone, NC · Modern timber frame home · 3 bed / 3.5 bath · 4.5 miles from downtown · 4,300 ft elevation
The unforgettable long-range mountain views will truly take your Breathaway.

Designed and built by its owner and architect as a private mountain retreat for his family, Breathaway Lodge is ready to welcome guests seeking genuine connection, rest, and relaxation in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
Thoughtfully crafted for comfort, beauty, and gathering, this luxury home invites guests to experience the best of the High Country. Striking timber elements define the interior - and here, the windows are the artwork. Enjoy sweeping panoramic vistas across Beech, Sugar, and Grandfather Mountains and into Eastern Tennessee, changing with every hour of light.

The lodge centers around a west-facing covered porch, designed to bring people together. You'll experience sunrise from the front porch framed by the trees, and those west-facing windows capture spectacular mountain views. Evening sunsets that guests have described as heavenly unfold before you. A stone terrace with a fire table invites gathering and conversation under the open sky. The private rear terrace holds a hot tub where you're immersed in starlight — at this elevation, the stars are absolutely stunning.

We look forward to welcoming families or small groups seeking genuine connection and restoration as well as guests who are committed to respecting the tranquility of this special setting. The house sits within a quiet, private mountain community where peace and solitude are sacred. Come be part of this sanctuary designed for meaningful time with those you love.
