Description
Welcome to Overlook at Wilderness Trail

Experience multi state views of Virginia and Tennessee!  Luxury is an understatement when you stay at this mountain home.  Designed at the peak of the market in 2007, the home was built to an uncompromising standard of quality, architecture and attention to detail. Resting on a 1+ acre plateau perched at just under 4,300 feet of elevation, The Overlook Lodge looks west out onto unobstructed, rolling mountain views into the Pisgah National Forest and Tennessee Valley. 

 This Adirondack custom-designed home features natural design elements throughout, including gorgeous hardwoods shadowed by massive, rough cut cedar timber frame construction. Lavish mountain décor and regal furnishings, highlighted by impressionist style artwork, blend seamlessly together for a true rustic elegance. The Great room boasts a grand, tongue and groove lined cathedral ceiling and floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and TV tastefully tucked into the hutch nearby. The space is free-flow to the gourmet kitchen, which is equipped with stainless appliances, exquisite granite counter tops and backsplash, ornate custom cabinetry and bar seating. The formal dining area is just steps off of the Great room and kitchen and looks out onto expansive ridgeline views. Step out to the abundant covered outdoor living and dining space, with built in gas grill and fireplace, and take in the amazing vistas and clean mountain air.

Overlook at Wilderness Trail features two grand king suites with lofted ceilings and over-sized bathrooms, offering private soaking tubs and incredible views of their own. There are also two additional king guests suites, one of which doubles as a game room and lounge with its own private balcony. The loft office space is perfect for remote work and learning and lined with iron, rhododendron-themed banisters that create an inclusive, yet private space in the home. Added in Spring of 2025 is a new hot tub! All of this within a private mountain-top development only 10 minutes from downtown Banner Elk and easy driving distance to all of the exciting activities the area offers. Call today to secure your luxury Banner Elk vacation in The Overlook Lodge at Wilderness Trail!

Overlook at Wilderness Trail is located only minutes away from the charming town of Banner Elk.  Featuring a wide variety of noted gourmet restaurants and excellent specialty and upscale boutiques, Banner Elk is a destination all its own. Here each season brings with it something spectacular, from our cool air and outdoor activities in the summer, to our incredible fall foliage, to great skiing during the winter. Banner Elk is also home to Lees-McRae College and its wonderful summer theater program, as well as numerous athletic events for spectators throughout the year.
 

In addition, the nearby towns of Blowing Rock, Valle Crucis and Boone, home to Appalachian State University, add to the unique flavor and sophisticated country charm of the area. Call today to secure this property for your next Blue Ridge Mountain vacation!

Our rental property was exactly like pictured on the rental website. I received accurate information by the rental company when I inquired about the property. The home was immaculate upon arrival. In addition, the few questions we may have had upon our arrival was addressed quickly through email. Absolutely gorgeous property.!

Overlook at Wilderness Trail in Newland, North Carolina was truly a spectacular rental property. When we arrived, the house was immaculate. From the spacious rooms, fireplace, enormous kitchen, and Mountain View's , The property exceeded our expectations. Our family getaway was magical. We were even fortunate enough to have a little snow in which our 4 yr old granddaughter was able to do some sledding, and it was her very first snow! Anyone staying at the property during the winter months Most definitely should follow the rental companies suggestion on vehicles. It can be quite icy. The kitchen had salt, pepper, sugar, coffee filters. Be sure to bring all of your spices, etc. especially if you are a family who likes to cook, we were so happy that we were totally prepared.. In addition, the beds were quite comfortable. We had a wonderful family getaway ! We highly recommend Blue Ridge rental company and renting Overlook at Wilderness Trail.
