About Montallori Stone Lodge

Montallori Stone Lodge

A Private Mountaintop Luxury Retreat with Panoramic Views

Perched high above the surrounding landscape, Montallori Stone Lodge offers rare privacy, breathtaking long-range views across three states, and a true sense of escape. From vibrant fall foliage in shades of gold, orange, and maroon to snow-dusted evergreens during the holidays, every season feels unforgettable. With virtually no light or sound pollution, nights are perfect for stargazing, meteor showers, or quiet evenings under the stars.

Soak in the scenery from expansive decks, private Juliette balconies, the covered hot tub deck, or while dining together in one of two dining areas that comfortably seat ten. Choose between an indoor dining space warmed by the fireplace or a covered stone patio for al fresco meals, both offering uninterrupted mountain views.

Old-World craftsmanship defines the lodge, blending natural stone, French oak, and leather accents throughout. Designed for connection and comfort, the home features multiple fireplaces and fire pits, overstuffed sofas, billiards, and two state-of-the-art movie rooms with surround sound and gigabit fiber-optic internet.

Up to ten guests enjoy exceptional rest in four bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and private en-suite bathrooms featuring heated floors and rustic-luxe finishes. Two bedrooms offer premium Sleep Number® beds with adjustable firmness and foot warmers. The primary king suite includes a seating area, walk-in closet, and direct access to the covered deck and hot tub.

The gourmet kitchen is a dream for food lovers, equipped with a Wolf six-burner gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, double ovens, warming drawer, two dishwashers, and chef-grade cookware. Outdoor cooking options include an infrared gas grill, Traeger pellet smoker, and a garden of fresh herbs.

House is a beautiful lodge with plenty of space to spread out. Good instructions for using amenities. The view was spectacular - we stayed over the 4th of July weekend celebrating America’s 250th year and watched fireworks all along the mountain ridge and in the valley. While it was scorching hot back home, and many other places, the top of Beech Mountain was a pleasant 86 degrees with a breeze most days. Nick was a fabulous host!

Host response: Desdamona, what a way to spend the 4th — fireworks lighting up the whole ridge and valley sounds unreal! 🎆 So glad the view (and that cool mountain breeze) delivered while everywhere else was scorching. Hope to host you again soon!

This is an absolute GEM! Don' snooze on this bnb if you are looking for a really stunning mountain holiday. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and a delight to cook in especially since the house is in a quiet area and away from city hustle so we didn't want to drive out too far for meals. We cooked all our meals at the house and we found everything a super chef's kitchen would have. Luxury branded appliances, lots of glasses, bowls, plates, spoons, pans... I mean you don't need to bring much cooking tools. Just bring groceries and you are all set. The hot tub and the sauna were fab! The sunrise in the mornings are divine. Wood fireplace was a nice touch. In a world where now most homes are becoming modern, this one is a homage to old European living and the architecture will make you feel like you are on an old estate in Tuscany. Nick as a host a a super host for very good reason - always on top of our questions and needs and very responsive and helpful. This one was so worth it!

Host response: Nisha, what a review — thank you! 🙌 So glad the chef's kitchen got a real workout and that the hot tub, sauna, and those divine sunrises lived up to the hype. That old-world Tuscan feel is exactly what makes Montallori special — I'd love to host you again in the fall 🏔️

The house and the host were absolutely excellent. Could not have asked for a better Airbnb stay. If you go during the winter, just make sure you have four-wheel-drive/all-wheel-drive.

Host response: Thanks so much for the kind words Justin and glad you enjoyed the lodge! Visit again soon! 👋🏻
