The Mod Lodge, a stunning mountain retreat, was crowned the winner of The Matsumoto Prize—North Carolina's most prestigious accolade dedicated solely to modernist residential architecture in 2010. This custom-built home blends contemporary design with the rustic charm of its natural surroundings. As you step into the main level, soaring ceilings that create an airy, open atmosphere greet you, perfect for basking in the serenity of the mountains. The spacious, relaxing living area features a leather sectional to sink into after a day of adventure. A large HDTV promises entertainment, but it's the warmth of the wood stove that truly steals the show. Imagine cozying up by its gentle glow on a crisp winter evening, the flickering flames casting a soft, golden light that enhances the room's inviting ambiance. The Mod Lodge features a modern kitchen with sleek stainless-steel appliances and a butcher-block island, adding a touch of rustic warmth. The island has seating for two, making it an ideal spot for casual meals or a quick chat while cooking, and a dedicated workspace provides room for productivity.
The exterior of The Mod Lodge is an enchanting outdoor space where the beauty of nature and modern comfort merge effortlessly. The covered patio invites you to unwind in style, featuring bistro seating perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or an intimate alfresco meal. For those who love to grill, the gas grill stands ready for your culinary creations. Gather around the fire pit, nestled in cozy Adirondack chairs, and let the crackling flames and mountain air soothe your soul. Whether roasting marshmallows under the stars or sharing stories with loved ones, this outdoor haven is the ideal spot to create unforgettable memories.
The Mod Lodge is a charming, tiny home and a cozy mountain escape. The loft features a king bed and a TV. On the main level, there is a well-appointed bathroom with a tub/shower combination.
Additional amenities include WiFi, a mini-split on the main level, and a washer and dryer. Two dogs are welcome with your reservation. Additional pet fees will apply. The home access is via a short, steep gravel driveway. AWD or 4WD, along with chains, is recommended for winter travelers.

I loved the interior decor!! We used the outside firepit every night and most mornings while sipping on coffee. So close to Boone, Blowing Rock, Sugar Mtn, the parkway, everything! The house had everything we needed. It was absolutely perfect.
We spent the weekend with our dogs at the mod shack to escape the Charlotte heat! The place was perfect for our needs. Perfect location for exploring Boone blowing Rock and access to the parkway.
We loved our stay. Very comfortable for the two of us. We loved the proximity to our favorite places and would stay again.My only suggestion would be more than 2 bath towels.
