About this property

Beautiful Retreat (2night min.) - 33 Private Mountain Acres to Hike

Beautiful private mountain property on 33 acres. Your own mountain to hike or just sit on the front porch and enjoy the peaceful surrounds.

The house has been totally remodeled and tastefully decorated. Beautiful hardwood floors in every room. Contains one queen, one full, and one twin bed. Wake up each morning to the sound of birds singing and enjoy the beautiful star filled sky at night.

Small creek to the side and in front of the home. Short drive to Burnsville, Spruce Pine, and Mount Mitchell. Lots of places for Gem mining and great picnics (Carolina Hemlocks State Park). This area is a trout fishers paradise and wildlife abounds. Perfect place to bring the picnic basket. Easy drive to Asheville (approx. 47 miles) to tour the Biltmore House or shop at the mall. The town of Burnsville is approx 7 miles away and Spruce Pine approx. 14 miles away.

This is the location for a couple or family to come and enjoy being away from the hustle and demand of everyday life. Come and find peace and beauty.

Clean, quiet, great getaway location

We stayed Wed-Sun for our trip. Everything is clean, kitchen very well stocked, plenty of room. Property owner/manager was always available and quick to respond to emails and called prior to the trip to give additional information. Excellent location for visiting Burnsville, Spruce Pine and Bakersville. We will definitely keep this location in mind for future vacations.

Mountain Seclusion

A gem of a true isolated mountain cottage, beautifully renovated and furnished. Surrounded by all the signs of a once working mountain farm now rich with a marvelous mixture of wild and domestic trees and plants and copious birds (including a flock of turkeys) and animals (including a most friendly doe). If you seek seclusion this is the place for you , with friendly and attentive owners and gorgeous views on the way to and from the nearby town of Burnsville.

Great space to unplug

This was a great home base while we were in the area visiting Penland and local TRAC pottery sales. Fully equipped kitchen made meals easy. Cell service was really limited. It was in the 90s while we were there but the 2 AC units cooled the main bedroom & living space sufficiently. The owners were super helpful and provided great communication.

Perfect getaway

This home is so cozy. It's perfect for anyone looking to escape the daily demands of life. It was the perfect combination of seclusion and easy driving distance to town. I fell asleep on the front porch my first night listening to the rain. Lisa was a wonderful and receptive hostess. Definitely recommend!

Quiet place to stay

We enjoyed our stay. Lisa was very nice and helpful with suggestions on activities and places to visit in the area. We had a bit of an issue with the dog that lives on the property. It is not trained at all and is friendly, but very pushy. On the first morning of our stay I was outside with our young son when the dog came out of nowhere. He seemed excited to play with our son, but kept jumping on him and scratched up his stomach. I had to run through the yard to get the dog off and honestly had trouble getting him to stop jumping long enough to get my son back inside. I think he just wanted to play, but a heads up that there is a dog on the property would have been nice so that we could have been on the lookout. Other than that everything was good.

Oh Hannah, we are so sorry. There has been a very friendly, sweet dog that does not belong to us come onto the property. Unfortunately he/she loves children. When the neighbors are not home, it wonders. We tell it to go home and it does, but unfortunately some people who visit have fed it and petted it. We will make a point in the future to mention the dog. We hope you had a pleasant time and were able to enjoy time with your family.

Quiet refuge tucked into a small, mountainous valley

My East European fiancee' and I had three relaxing days at this cozy mountain retreat only about 7 miles north of Burnsville shortly after she arrived by airline in Charlotte. All conveniences were on hand, including a paperback book library and video collection. No telephone reception or wifi is available, but satellite television is there if that is on your weekend itinerary. Outdoor charcoal BBQ and table with chairs is where we spent most of our time and were fortunate to hit a sunny, 70 degree weather window two days after Hurricane Michael swept through North Carolina. If you desire a quiet refuge away from most electronic communication, then this three-bedroom home is perfect and only about a three-hour drive from Greensboro.

Perfect country mountain setting

Thoroughly enjoyed this quiet cottage, tucked away in it's own little blanket of green. I sat outside on the porch in the evening and heard nothing but the sounds of the birds and crickets. During the two days we were there, we never heard or even saw the lights of a car. There are a few other houses on the same road, however you'd never know it. It brought back memories of our grandparents' homes. It was nice being forced to unplug from our cell phones for a bit and relax as a family.

A Wonderful Place to STAY!!

Nicely furnished home with everything you will need. Very clean. Peaceful, Quiet and be sure to go out on the porch to see the stars. We visited Roan Mountain and it was a beautiful drive and the mountain is so pretty with many hikers and picnic areas. For those who like to raft there is a river with rafting nearby. Thanks for opening your home to us. God Bless you both L & R Hess Chesterfield, Va

Calm, beautiful mountain retreat

This place is exactly what we were looking for to escape daily life for a few nights. The house is nice and secluded, situated on a beautiful mountain which you can hike all day. The little town near by is great for meals, ice-cream, and fun. The home is extremely clean and inviting and Lisa and John are so nice while also giving you all the space you are looking for coming to a place like this. We enjoyed our stay so much, we will most definitely be back. Perfect!

Beautiful views and sweet community

We enjoyed everything about the home. The kids enjoyed the big yard and little creek in the front yard. The cool nights were perfect! We opened the windows to cool down the house and even grilled out one night. We visited Linville Caverns at Lisa's suggestion and was beyond thrilled at the majestic creations underground! We also ate at Louise's country food restaurant in Linville...very good. Burnsville itself is a quaint town and we enjoyed the ice cream shop and Blind Squirrel brewing pub. Thank you for renting your home. It perfectly suited our needs. (side note: Lisa had given us a call regarding a plumbing issue and offered a full refund to avoid any issues. We decided to go ahead with our arrangements. We did not have any problems with the water...it tastes delicious!...there was no sediment in either the tub or the kitchen sink. Thank you for being so forthright with us and we are thankful for such sweet people to rent from.)

A Wonderful Stay - 10/13 to 10/16/2016

What a nice, comfortable welcoming cabin in the woods! Although my stay at Peace was not for a vacation, this home certainly provided me with the perfect place to accomplish my task at hand! I was in Burnsville to celebrate my daughter's wedding and I was making the wedding cake. Peace provided me with the room, peaceful surroundings, and calm that I needed to bake a beautiful cake for the wedding, Working for many hours in the kitchen, I can truly say without a doubt, that this vacation home was immaculately clean and well stocked. The other rooms were also so well cared for. In speaking with the owner, several days prior to our arrival, she said her rule was to always prepare Peace to the same standards that she cared for her own home. And she does! Thank you for the short, but very nice stay at Peace and for helping make my daughter's wedding day a beautiful success.

Quiet Romantic Getaway

This beautiful house was perfect for our weekend getaway. I loved being disconnected while there. The drive up to the house was so pretty too. My husband got a chance to explore the property and found a beautiful clearing close to the top of the mountain while I was dropping the kids off with my parents. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to check it out with him. The bed off of the living room was extremely comfortable, we didn't try the others, so I don't know how they slept. The washer & dryer were great & very efficient. There are a few things I would improve or change however.... 1- Better maintenance of the property, the front porch was overgrown and we were unable to use some of the seating due to that. 2- Turn up the setting on the hot water heater. We had to turn the hot water all the way on for the water to be warm enough for us. 3- The plumbing in the bathroom is off, cold is hot, hot is cold....that gave us a rude awakening the first morning we were there. 4- This is not something I would necessarily change, but something to consider....updating the TV's to ones that are compatible with having a laptop plugged in to it. We didn't get a chance to watch TV other than the first night we were there. But, it would have been nice to hook our laptop up and access Netflix or Hulu. John & Lisa were wonderful & very hospitable. They did a great job putting up with the million questions I had. lol We will definitely be back.
