European Inspired Mountain Lodge

A Stone and Wood Sanctuary with Million-Dollar Views

Welcome to Montallori Stone Lodge—a luxury mountaintop retreat where European elegance meets Appalachian serenity. Perched high on the Blue Ridge, this spectacular stone-and-beam lodge offers breathtaking views across three states, exquisite European antiques, and the quiet charm of nature, occasionally punctuated by the sounds of birdsong and the soothing rush of a nearby stream after rain. A frequent guest calls it "our Italian hunting lodge vacation—without the long plane ride."

The Setting
A true mountaintop escape, Montallori is nestled amid unspoiled wilderness. Relish dramatic sunsets, panoramic autumn foliage, and the magical hush of winter snowfalls. With little light or sound pollution, the night sky dazzles—perfect for stargazing or observing a meteor shower light up the sky.

Spaces to Gather, and Spaces to Retreat
- Enjoy the great room with its stone hearth, or slip away to one of the quiet nooks with mountain views.

The lightly traveled ridge road is perfect for peaceful walks or cross-country skiing.
