About this house rental

Over The Top Lodge - Luxury. Best Mountain Views. Memories That Last Forever!

Over the Top's extensive driveway is paved and sloped all the way to the home. 4WD or AWD is a necessity in the winter months, and chains may also be required for more challenging weather conditions. Make sure to come prepared with the proper vehicle for your unbeatable stay.

Your search for the ultimate High Country getaway ends here. Perched high above Banner Elk, Over The Top Lodge is a mountain retreat where
breathtaking mountain views meet unmatched comfort. Every sunrise and sunset will remind you why life feels better at altitude.

Panoramic Mountain Views in Every Direction

Step inside and be surrounded by horizons. Massive windows and wall-to-wall glass frame the skyline stretching from Virginia to Tennessee, over
Elk Knob and the rugged silhouette of Grandfather Mountain. Whether you're sipping coffee in the morning mist or watching the sunset glow, the long range mountain views are unforgettable.

A Private Hiking Trail!

Be among the first to experience the private Bigfoot Trail, exclusively at Over the Top Lodge! Professionally curated across our eight acres of serenity, this moderate, one-third-mile hike was built with involvement from a trail builder who also worked on Grandfather Mountain's iconic ladder hike. Along the way, woodland creatures share their stories and perspectives in cartoon form, leading to a discovery of Bigfoot himself at the end!

Spacious Luxury for Everyone

With room for up to 23 guests, Over The Top Lodge was built for families, friends, and unforgettable gatherings. The great room features vaulted
ceilings, a stunning stacked stone gas fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows of that gorgeous view, bringing the mountains inside.

The chef's kitchen includes granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances. Between the living and dining areas, the indoor
dining table seats 15 to 20 guests, perfect for family meals or special celebrations.

LOVED the house, excellent porches and amenities (inside and outside), gorgeous views, and a wonderful place for a family rendezvous.There were two somewhat related concerns:Although the house’s area rugs are attractive on appealing wood floors, they were slippery and created a tripping or slipping fall hazard. The outside steps into the house had no handrails — and anyone with physical mobility issues might find the house to be difficult or risky. Despite those concerns, we had a wonderful (3-generation) gathering at this beautiful home.
