About this home
Remarks: Welcome to Quail Mountain — a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath mountain lodge that defines luxury cabin living. Soaring open ceilings, a massive stone wood-burning fireplace, and a full wraparound deck set the tone from the moment you arrive. Sweeping mountain views greet you from every room, and at over 3,000 feet of elevation, you'll enjoy noticeably cooler temperatures day and night. No detail has been overlooked: water-heated European floors, luxury appliances, and handcrafted cabinetry create a kitchen and living space that any cook will love. The outdoor firepit is perfect for evenings under the stars. The attached two-car garage handles all your mountain toys and storage needs. Once a thriving vacation rental, this lodge conveys mostly furnished — including Starlink internet — and is move-in ready with new HVAC, new thermostats, new exterior stain, and new chimney stonework. Located five minutes from Fontana Lake access and fifteen minutes from downtown Bryson City, this property offers privacy, stunning views, and unbeatable convenience. (Note: property is served by a three-bedroom septic system.)
