If the Blue Ridge Mountains are calling you, this cozy retreat might provide the perfect answer. Enjoy a warm cup of coffee and sunrise on the wrap-around deck or watch the day disappear, along with a glass of wine. There’s plenty of seclusion, but you won't feel isolated—shopping, dining, and attractions are just a short drive away in downtown Boone or Blowing Rock. This home is calling you if you’re looking for a romantic weekend getaway, a quick business trip, or a fun-filled family vacation. Guests have access to all areas of the house, except for a locked utility shed that is outside. We don't live on the property, but we are located only a few miles away and can be available to help if any needs arise. Nearby Rocky Knob Park features a circuit of mountain bike trails, along with a pump track and playground for the kids. And you’re just minutes away from a day-long hike along the Mountain to Sea Trails that zig-zag across the Blue Ridge Parkway.

There isn't any public transportation. You can easily park around 4 cars at the house, but if for some reason you have more cars, we can work out an alternative parking situation. The driveway is short but is on a slight incline. If you don't have 4WD or AWD, you might want to park along the road at the top of the driveway. During the warm months, there are three window air conditioning units installed. One in each of the bedrooms and one in the living room. There are also fans in the bedrooms and living room.
