About this retreat
Welcome to your private luxury retreat on Lake Blue Ridge — a sprawling custom-designed lodge perfect for family vacations, retreats, and year-round mountain getaways. Tall arched wood ceilings, stacked-stone fireplaces, and walls of windows frame one of the region's most pristine mountain lake settings, while expansive covered porches invite guests to gather outdoors from sunrise to sunset.
Located on one of the most beautiful sections of Lake Blue Ridge, this home offers panoramic lake and mountain views, luxurious interiors, and amenities built for large groups — from two private theaters and a full gym to a game room with billiards and arcade games. This home is part of The Kristy Collection, a curated group of luxury vacation homes offering first-class amenities and personal service.
Whether it's sunset swims in the heated pool, morning coffee on the covered porch, or a family movie night in the kids' theater, every corner of this lodge is designed for connection at scale.
