Luxury Mountain Estate • Hot Tub • Panoramic Views • Sleeps 15

Welcome to GIOIA Lodge, an approximately 8,400-square-foot mountain estate with panoramic pastoral and Smoky Mountain views in Clyde, North Carolina. Accommodating up to 15 guests, the lodge gives families and friends room to gather comfortably and find a quiet spot of their own.

Large windows bring the scenery indoors, while the open floor plan connects spacious living areas with a well-stocked chef’s kitchen. A Wolf gas range makes preparing shared meals a pleasure, whether you’re cooking a family breakfast or enjoying a relaxed dinner together.

There’s plenty to enjoy without leaving the property. Play a game of pool, settle into the cozy movie room, or retreat to a bedroom equipped with a Roku television, closet space, and extra blankets and pillows.

Outside, multiple levels of mountain-view terraces invite you to slow down and take in the surroundings. Grill on the Weber barbecue, gather around the gas fire pit, or enjoy the views from an Adirondack or rocking chair. The private hot tub beneath the terrace offers a relaxing way to end a day of exploring.

EXPLORE THE AREA

GIOIA Lodge offers a peaceful mountain setting within reach of Western North Carolina’s favorite destinations. Approximate driving times are 30–40 minutes to downtown Asheville, 45 minutes to Asheville Regional Airport, and 35 minutes to the entrance of Biltmore Estate. Travel times vary with traffic, weather, and route.

Explore hiking trails, scenic drives, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, fishing, golf, and cycling. Discover nearby Canton, Waynesville, and Maggie Valley, or spend a day enjoying Asheville’s restaurants, breweries, shopping, and cultural attractions.

Whether you’re preparing a meal together, enjoying a movie night, or watching the changing mountain light from the terrace, GIOIA Lodge offers space to reconnect and make lasting memories.

Amazing mountain getaway

The house looked beautiful online and it was even better in person. Everything that we seemingly needed/wanted was available on property. So much room throughout the house and it was very modern and up-to-date. We would definitely book again. The communication with the owner was fantastic.

This house has everything. All the fridges you could ever want plus an under counter ice maker. Any issues we had were promptly addressed. My only disappointment was that we could not use the fireplace in the primary bedroom, however this was clearly stated in the listing. Highly recommend, we used the outdoor fireplace a lot and wood was provided. The views are amazing and the house is very large and very comfortable.

Absolutely Perfect!

If I could give the property 10 stars, I would. The home was perfectly described in the listing, but even more beautiful in person. My family of 14 were able to stay here and have everything we wanted/needed and had PLENTY of space to spread out. The rooms were clean, the bathrooms were stocked with towels and necessities, the kitchen had all of the utensils and pots/pans we needed, and the grill was ready to go. Nora was an excellent host, providing great communication all along the way. We will DEFINITELY be looking to book this home again!

Great location and views all around. Spent an entire month here and had various friends' family visit. The setup was solid (although only three rooms have a view of the mountains). They do have some cameras that may point inside toward the living room area, but not sure if they are functioning or not. There is a camera at the end of the house that points toward the yard/hot tub lower level area. They should probably remove those and/or fully point them away from the house. But if you are not concerned about the cameras, this place is great.

What's Not To Love?!

Our extended family of 13 stayed here for a mini-family reunion with ages ranging from 23-90. The property was AMAZING...with stunning mountain views from the wrap-around porch. There were plenty of bedroom & bathroom configurations to accommodate our group. We took full advantage of all the amenities, playing pool, cards around the dining table, dominoes, giant connect 4 & bags. The home is gorgeous and has everything you need plus some. Nora was extremely responsive and gave some great recommendations. It was about a 40 min. drive to Asheville, but the views were worth it. We will be back!!!

We are 6 old guys riding roads on motorcycles and in cars. We need separate bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. This was by far the best property we’ve ever stayed at through VBRO. Immaculate in every detail. Very clean. Incredibly well appointed in every way including linens, towels, kitchen supplies, and always plenty of ice. Pool table and theater were fun additions. The master bed and bath are pure luxury with huge rooms and even a heated bathroom floor! The views are incredible. Never seen this level of quality with furniture, appliances and decor. We had one minor issue with low propane and Nora had a full one delivered in about one hour. She did a great job with communication throughout our stay. We’d highly recommend this property to anyone traveling anywhere within 50 miles of the area. Maybe even more if you don’t mind driving.
