Mountain Light Sanctuary

Last Updated September 24, 2026

The Sanctuary is ideal for personal retreats. It is the perfect place to read, write, paint, meditate, or to use as your base camp for exploring endless miles of national forest trails into the mountains. Guests have a variety of accommodations to choose from including enclosed shelters with four walls such as the Hermitage, Treehouse, Frodos and rooms in the Lodge, as well as open air three sided shelters directly on the river, such as Oconaluftee, Balihouse, Rivendell, Narnia and Enchantment, Amitaba and GardenView. This wide variety offers something for everyone according to your comfort level and budget.
