About this property

2BR Cabin · Blue Ridge Views · Gourmet Kitchen

  • A CHANGE IN ALTITUDE · 2BR MOUNTAIN CABIN · BURNSVILLE, NC · SLEEPS 5

    Sleeps 5 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Full Baths | Fire Table Deck | Jetted Tubs | Dogs Welcome

    PorchLight Stays' A Change in Altitude is a modern, well-appointed cabin at 3,200 ft in the Black Mountains outside Burnsville, NC — built in 2022 on land carved out of Pisgah National Forest, backing directly into the forest with sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views from the fire table deck. Two master suites each with a private jetted tub. A gourmet kitchen guests call out by name in nearly every review. Gather on the spacious deck around the propane fire table as the Blue Ridge range unfolds before you, fire up the gas grill, or unwind in the mountain-facing hammocks. The dog wash station with means even the end of a hike is handled. Two miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Level 2 EV charger on-site.

    FALL AT A CHANGE IN ALTITUDE

    At 3,200 ft, fall color begins as early as late September and runs through October — a full month of spectacular Blue Ridge Mountain foliage, arriving earlier and more vividly than lower elevations and valley towns. The fire table deck faces the entire Black Mountain range — the natural place to be as October evenings cool. Propane fire table means no lighter fluid, no ceremony — just turn and go. Two private jetted tubs, one per suite, are exactly right after a cold hike or a crisp October walk. The gourmet kitchen is stocked for fall cooking-in. The forest backing directly into the property means fall color is literally in the backyard. Peak color typically mid-to-late October, but the full window runs late September through October. The Blue Ridge Parkway — 2 miles away — is one of the premier fall foliage drives in the eastern US.

    THE KITCHEN

    The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with modern stainless appliances and stocked at a level guests specifically call out — it's the feature mentioned most consistently in reviews alongside the views. Coffee station, all cooking basics, everything needed to cook at home during a mountain stay. Indoor dining table for full-group meals; deck dining table outside for evenings with views.

A beautiful house in a beautiful place

My husband, our dog and I spent a wonderful week at this house. The house itself is nicely laid out with lots of room in the common areas and two bedrooms (with full baths) on each floor. The views of the valley are fantastic, whatever the weather or time of day. We loved all the little touches -- the coffee/tea station, the pull-out dog gates on the porch (to insure our dog didn't go exploring for wildlife), and a shelf stocked with flashlights and bug spray for night time walks. Would definitely return. The area is still coming back from Hurricane Helene so some roads and trails may be closed but there is still plenty to do. Would HIGHLY recommend the Blue Ghose Firefly walking tour with Snakeroot Ecotours -- that was truly a unique experience. Asheville is about an hour's drive so it makes a great day trip.
