About this home

Welcome to Hodge Podge Lodge, a true family mountain retreat set privately among the trees in The Cliffs Valley. Designed as a refined yet relaxed “mountain camp,” this Modern Mountain Craftsman blends timeless architecture with warm, livable design on nearly three acres with mountain views, a tranquil pond, and a peaceful wooded backdrop.

Steep gabled rooflines, natural materials, and earth-toned siding with charcoal accents anchor the home seamlessly into its setting. Inside, soaring ceilings and an open, airy layout define the main living spaces, centered around a dramatic three-story stone fireplace that serves as both a visual focal point and a natural gathering place. The living room flows effortlessly into the chef’s kitchen and dining area, framed by expansive doors that open outdoors and capture beautiful mountain views, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor connection for everyday living and entertaining.

Rich wood floors, custom built-ins, and thoughtfully detailed ceilings add warmth and texture throughout. Just beyond the main kitchen, a fully equipped back kitchen and butler’s pantry enhances functionality with additional oven, refrigeration, and prep space, allowing the home to comfortably host gatherings of any size while remaining connected to the heart of the home.

The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a reclaimed wood accent wall, and a beautifully updated bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower. Large windows throughout the home invite natural light and rolling mountain views, reinforcing a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.

Outdoor living unfolds across multiple levels, from the screened porch and wraparound decks with mountain views across a "gangway" to a charming treehouse. A conservatory-style sunroom offers a cozy perch among the trees by day and a magical setting for stargazing by night.

The reimagined third floor features a custom lodge-style bunk room, fireplace, and flexible recreation space ideal for guests, grandchildren, or multi-purpose living. With three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and flex rooms and studies, the home offers excellent versatility and comfortably sleeps up to eighteen.

The expansive basement level offers plenty of space for impressive man cave, workshop and parking.

Recent improvements include a remodeled kitchen and primary suite, refreshed third floor, new bedroom flooring, remodeled wet bar, custom fireplace built-ins, wood-accent ceiling details, fresh interior and exterior paint, new HVAC systems, and new kitchen appliances.

Located within one of the Upstate’s most sought-after gated mountain communities, residents enjoy optional membership with access to all seven Cliffs clubs and convenient proximity to Travelers Rest, Greenville, Hendersonville, and Asheville.

Cliffs Valley homes with similar views sell for $400-500/Square Foot. Hodge Podge Lodge is priced at $246/foot to account for it's whimsical features.

This is mountain living designed for gathering, retreating, and making memories that last.
