  • About this space

    Wake Up to the Blue Ridge
    Wake up to sweeping mountain views and crisp morning air. Sip coffee on the deck as the sun rises over the ridgelines, then spend your days hiking scenic trails, chasing waterfalls, fishing nearby rivers, or exploring charming mountain towns. As evening falls, gather by the fire under a sky full of stars. This spacious 3BR/3BA retreat blends comfort, privacy, and unforgettable scenery—close enough to explore, far enough to truly unplug.

    Breathe deeper here.

    As evening falls, gather under the stars by the fire, share stories, and let the mountains set the pace. This is a place to reconnect, unwind, and stay a little longer than planned.

Five Star property

This beautiful property was all we imagined. The views were spectacular and the home beautiful. It was all You would have thought if you built your own mountain retreat. Wrap around porches, comfortable seating areas and lots of windows to see the surrounding mountains. We couldn’t be happier. It made our family time a wonderful memory! Even had several people ask for information about this property for their future plans!
