Close to everything, yet a world away.​

Escape to Fire Mountain Lodge & Club, a private 20-acre mountaintop enclave created for guests who want to slow down, reconnect, and immerse themselves in nature. Surrounded by forest, waterfalls, wildflowers, and sweeping views across Blue Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains, the property feels wonderfully secluded while remaining close to some of the region’s most charming towns and attractions.

Settle in and get comfortable in one of our distinctive accommodations. Gather with family and friends in the seven-bedroom Highlands Lodge, enjoy the spacious four-bedroom Manor House, or retreat to one of six private cabins nestled among the trees. The cabins encircle an oversized native-stone firepit, creating an inviting gathering place for evenings spent under the stars and surrounded by Starry skies & fireflies.​

Days at Fire Mountain can be as peaceful or as adventurous as you choose. Explore our hiking trails, wander along Gypsy Creek, discover the property’s secret waterfall, or spend a quiet afternoon fishing by the lake and waterfall. Visit with our Gypsy horses, Drake & Hagrid, pick apples in our small orchard, Search for native stones while rock hounding, watch the sunset from the Sunset Deck with reflection pool and waterfall, or simply relax and take in mountain views that stretch for hundreds of miles.​

Guests can gather for cocktails and conversation on the Sunset deck & Cloud 7 club room, enjoy the tennis courts, or host an unforgettable celebration in one of the property’s event spaces. In the land of waterfalls, nearby waterfalls, include Mud Creek Falls, Darnell Falls & our secret waterfall that are just minutes away.

Throw some burgers on the grill while you enjoy the flicker of fireflies in the surrounding forest in our newly constructed BBQ area or on your own private grill if you’re a cabin guest.
