Welcome to The Cherokee Lodge, a rare and distinguished historic estate built in 1890 by Annie Ravenel, a notable figure in the golden age of refined mountain hospitality. As Tryon rose to prominence as an elite mountain retreat and health destination-drawing travelers seeking rejuvenation, fresh ai...r, and elegance—this remarkable home stood as a welcoming lodge for discerning guests. Today, it remains one of the town’s architectural treasures. Offering 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and just under 4,000 square feet, this home seamlessly blends historic grandeur with elevated comfort. The current owners have thoughtfully stewarded the property as both a cherished family gathering place and a sanctuary for fine antiques, ensuring every update honored the home’s original character while subtly enhancing livability with modern heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing. Entering through the stained-glass front door is a moment unto itself. Rich hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and exquisite craftsmanship immediately convey a level of quality impossible to replicate. Three original fireplaces anchor inviting gathering spaces, ideal for intimate evenings, refined entertaining, or welcoming guests. The expansive, eat-in kitchen has a large island with storage and a plethora of cabinetry. A walk-up attic presents exceptional flexibility, offering the opportunity to create an additional guest suite, game room, or studio- the possibilities are endless. With its gracious bedroom count, square footage, and walkable location, the property is uniquely positioned for a multitude of uses. Outdoors, mountain views and a sweeping wraparound porch invite you to slow down and unwind. All of this is just a short stroll to excellent dining, shopping, arts, and entertainment. Designed and built long before mass production, this home stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail of that era. After more than 130 years of welcoming others, The Cherokee Lodge is ready for its next chapter—whether as an elegant private residence or a bed-and-breakfast, this is an opportunity that doesn't come around often.
