Forge Lake Lodge, North Carolina
North Carolina’s Nantahala National Forest is arguably the most beautiful stretch of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Rolling, densely-forested mountains coat the land. Hidden among the towering eastern hemlocks and red spruces are several genuinely tranquil lakes. The prettiest lake of them all is Lake Nantahala, home to Forge Lake Lodge, one of the most luxurious log homes in the Appalachians. The home features four fireplaces, four terraces, seven televisions, an exercise room, a dock, an outdoor hot tub, distinct character, and, of course, breathtaking views of Lake Nantahala.
Adobe Zen House, New Mexico
On the other end of the country lies the charming, immaculate Adobe Zen House (as pictured above), a beautiful amalgam of Spanish architecture, Japanese tranquility, and modern glamour. The three-acre estate rests at the foothills of awe-inspiring San Antonio Mountain. The property is surrounded by boundless New Mexican wilderness. Most guests arrive via horseback and venture into the wild during the daylight. Adobe Zen House is ideal for those with a penchant for seclusion, stargazing, and classic Southwestern flair.
Garnet Lodge, Wyoming
You might be surprised to discover that one of our finest luxury vacation home rentals lies along the southern rim of the Grand Tetons. Garnet Lodge is widely celebrated for its dazzling great room, which features a glamorous chandelier, colossal stone fireplace, high-end furnishings, and backcountry forest vistas. Yes, the nine-person lodge is in the heart of Wyoming ski country, but you’ll quickly find that Jackson also boasts a spectacular golf scene to go along with the countless top-reviewed hiking trails in the nearby Grand Teton National Park.
Vail Ski Home, Colorado
Vail, Colorado, remains one of the true four-season hidden gems near Denver. Not only will you discover an array of luxury vacation home rentals near the world-class ski area, but the downtown is home to a thriving culinary scene, sleek bars, top-notch breweries, and high-end shopping. The ski home itself provides unobstructed views of the rolling mountains and the neighboring village. Guests can utilize the free shuttle into downtown, but don’t be afraid to branch out into the surrounding wilderness for a bit of backcountry hiking, birdwatching, or fly fishing.
