Upstairs, a loft bedroom suite with its own ensuite bathroom provides additional sleeping space for family or guests. With accommodations for up to six, this cabin is well suited for weekend escapes, full time mountain living, or a vacation rental.
Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a covered porch, multiple open decks, a fire pit area, and a usable yard for pets, gardening, outdoor games or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. There is plenty of flat parking, and the improved access makes coming and going significantly easier. The 12x20 "Party Shack" features a bar and provides a separate space for entertaining, watching the game, or gathering with friends after a day on the trails.
The location puts you with convenient access to some of the best recreation in the High Country and just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Boone, West Jefferson, and Wilkesboro are each approximately 30 minutes away, while Winston Salem is about an hour, Charlotte approximately 1 hour 40 minutes, and Raleigh about 3 hours away.
