Discover Harmony in Nature

Make memories of tranquility, comfort, and self-care at The Blue Ridge Luxe Lodge

The Blue Ridge Luxe Lodge is nestled in the woods in the quaint and comforting town of Blue Ridge. The lodge offers a peaceful and charming escape from the bustle of city life. The gorgeous A-frame architecture is aesthetically gorgeous and inspires a feeling of connecting with nature while maintaining the comforts of home. The lodge delivers comfort and tranquility with a classic and inviting design. The owners and hosts behind the Blue Ridge Luxe Lodge, Kylee and Jeff Salatino, put their passion and vision together to make a little piece of paradise right here in North Georgia.

Bethany and Daniel Kaylor of Gnarly Home Crafters created an innovative mix of rustic and modern design, which is visually stunning from every angle. The lodge perfectly blends art with function to create a memorable experience for its guests.

The enormous windows and A-frame shape make the home feel in harmony with nature, blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors. "It feels like being out in nature while having the luxuries of a cozy bed and a warm shower," said Kylee and Jeff. The design makes the home an ideal escape for city dwellers and nature lovers.

Kylee and Jeff prioritize the guest experience. They stay at the lodge themselves with their kids. Personal touches in the decor and furnishings-such as a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom essentials, hot tub, and a fully furnished screened-in porch- are inspired by Kylee and Jeff's family's experiences staying there. Guests have noticed, with one review saying, "...the place felt more like someone's carefully curated home than just another Airbnb."

Many locals and tourists alike know Blue Ridge is a must-see small town full of mom-and-pop stores and restaurants in some of the country's oldest and most beautiful mountains. Kylee and Jeff recommend Downtown Blue Ridge and the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. The railway goes right through downtown. Eating breakfast or lunch downtown, riding the train, then shopping before settling down at the lodge for a homemade dinner, and taking a dip in the hot tub before bed is the perfect way to spend a weekend or holiday. 

 There are many more cozy activities at the lodge, such as lounging or relaxing after exploring the local town. Kylee and Jeff mention the porch, saying, "One of our favorite things to do as a family is sit under blankets on the porch under the heaters and watch a movie or play some games."

Kylee and Jeff say, "It has been a dream to have a place there where we could escape the hustle of the city." The Blue Ridge Luxe Lodge is a scenic escape, offering tranquility and rest from our busy lives, all within just over an hour's drive from Woodstock.
