❄️ Book your winter mountain getaway at Lux Mountain Chalet and experience cozy evenings, breathtaking views, and unforgettable adventures in the Blue Ridge Mountains!

Guests have full private access to the entire Lux Mountain Chalet 🏔️, including the chalet 🏡, deck 🌄, firepit 🔥, and hot tub ♨️ areas.

The property provides ample gravel parking for up to six vehicles 🚗🚙 — perfect for families or groups traveling separately. Please park only on the gravel areas, not on the grass 🌿.

The gravel road leading to the home is well-maintained, but because of our mountain setting ⛰️, we recommend an AWD or 4WD vehicle during winter months ❄️ for peace of mind.

🚗 Important Driving Note⛰️
When driving up Banjo Lane, please maintain a steady, slow-to-moderate pace all the way up the hill. 🛣️ The key is to keep your vehicle moving and avoid stopping on the incline, as it can be difficult to regain traction once stopped. ⚠️

There’s no need to speed—just keep a consistent pace and continue steadily up the hill until you reach the top. 👍

There’s also space for a large horse trailer 🐴 near the additional paddock if needed.

⚠️ Please note: The garage is not accessible to guests and is not included as part of the rental. The garage will remain locked 🔒 during your stay.
