Welcome to Wizard’s Burrow! This historic duplex built in 1875 was once where travelers on the Blue Ridge Parkway could stop in for picnic lunches & pastries and is now home to the Wizarding retreat of the high country! HP fans won’t want to miss this one!
Mins from App Ski Mtn, Tweetsie, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock & Boone, this location is close to so much - hiking, skiing, sightseeing, shopping & more!
You might also like to stay in and practice your spells!
This unit is the right side of a historic & quirky duplex
You enter through the door with the Blue Ridge mountain mural ⛰️
Please keep off the dirigible plums! 🍑
The kitchen is the first room you come to and you’ll notice two things:
1. The ceilings are a bit low! Please watch your head - you may want to remove your witch or wizard hat
2. The Weasleys decorated the kitchen, so naturally, it’s a bit wonky
When you head upstairs, the space opens up to the common room with AppleTV and a dedicated work space (Harry’s desk) in the corner
Take a walk through the common room and tada! You’ve found your dormitory. With windows on 3 sides, you get plenty of light. However, you can close all of the curtains if less light is more your thing. There is also a plant filled coffee bar in the bedroom for you to enjoy as soon as you wake up 🙌🏽
Please note - again, since the Old Wizard’s Burrow was built in the 1800s, the ceiling downstairs in the kitchen is only about 6 ft 3 inches high. If you are taller than that, you will need to duck, use a shrinking charm, or send a shorter witch or wizard downstairs to make your meals
This place does have its quirks and also charm! The stairs are a bit creaky and narrow but bc the kitchen ceiling is low, they don’t go up too high. Please watch your pets & small little witches & wizards!
ACCESS
Guests have access to the right side of the Borrow and can enter through the door under the sunroom (with the Blue Ridge mountain mural)
Please note: the key to the Wizard’s Burrow only works for the downstairs door HANDLE, not the upstairs door or any deadbolts. Please only enter and exit through the downstairs door painted with the Blue Ridge mountains on it.
If you need anything, please refer to the house manual or feel free to send me an owl!
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Appalachian Ski Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway right next door!
The Wizard’s Burrow is located on a very quiet street off of US HWY 321. It feels secluded and you’re still so close to it all.
There is a patch of gravel in front of the building where you can park your enchanted car. Everything is very close by car but not very walkable
Please note: our neighbor does have a dog and you may hear her greet him when he gets home but most of the time she is quiet! She may also greet your dog by barking if she hears your dog. Thank you for understanding!
