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.

Guest Reviews
Pictures couldn’t possibly capture the full beauty of this home. It is truly one of the most thoughtfully designed and beautifully appointed homes we’ve ever stayed in. We enjoyed all of the incredible amenities, but some of our favorites were the breathtaking mountain views and all the spaces throughout the home to enjoy them, the heated bathroom floors, whole-home sound system, custom ambient lighting, and the gourmet chef’s kitchen equipped with every appliance, gadget, and utensil imaginable. And then there’s the decor. The custom-curated furnishings, antiques, and one-of-a-kind details throughout the home made it feel incredibly special and unlike any other rental we’ve experienced. We almost never stay at the same Airbnb twice because there are so many places we want to experience, but we are already planning our return to this mountain retreat. Absolutely stunning home, incredible amenities, and an unforgettable stay. 5 stars doesn’t quite feel like enough!
Nick is an incredible host! Incredibly attentive and responsive as well. This property is beyond jaw-dropping. From the moment you walk in you’re greeted with family heirloom furniture and accents around the house from the 1400s! Then just past that you’re staring at an amazing view of the mountains. Highly recommend the stay here. I pray we can get back sometimes soon. Thanks, Nick!
We had an amazing time. The view is breathtaking and spending time on the porch was the best release from the hustle and bustle. The house is beautiful and fully stocked with anything you may need. The grocery store is 30 mins away so make sure you bring up what you need. The sauna and hot tub were bonuses that helped create the perfect relaxing spot. A great spot to enjoy family time or just a weekend away. Will definitely be back!!! Thank you so much for sharing such an incredible home!!
This is the place for a peaceful and relaxed vacation to spend quality time with family, plenty of space and the setting was just spectacular, what a view off the back deck. Definitely off the beaten path, would highly recommend Nick's Montallori Stone Lodge to anyone looking for a great getaway designation.
Amazing home and even better views! This home makes you feel right at home in the mountains and has everything you would want to enjoy the mountains. Caution - gravel roads have positive side effects on the soul.
Amazing house and property!! Even better than described! I hosted my husbands 60th surprise birthday party at Nicks place. The house was perfect for several couples to stay with us and plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen is spacious and has EVERYTHING you want and need!! So much glass-wear, serving dishes, etc to make entertaining easy!! The outdoor spaces are perfect with fantastic views, lots of seating, fire pits and beautiful flowers!
