By day 3 we were so fully enthralled by the tranquility of the place, and of hearing only the soft sounds of nature - birdsong, a slight breeze rustling the leaves, and the crickets softly lulling us to sleep (truly, the only man-made sound we heard the first 2 days was a small plane flying overhead), that we actually debated whether to make to short, easy 20 min drive to spend an afternoon in Black Mountain (very glad we did but couldn't wait to get back to "our" peaceful mountain and that sprawling covered deck to read, walk the yard or snooze with the pups, watch the sky/clouds change, grill something yummy, uncork another bottle, take another soak). We especially appreciated the wonderful '50s ranch aesthetic, that the house is all 1 level, so open, and all those windows to see the view from a different room and have that refreshing mountain air flow through the house. So, if you're needing to get away for some true peace, quiet, a mesmerizing view (even better in the hot tub), wonderful large fenced-in yard, have all the comforts of home, and feel like you're miles from anyone but still be minutes from town, this is the place. Glorious stay!
