About this space
Wake Up to the Blue Ridge Wake up to sweeping mountain views and crisp morning air.

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.

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!
