**This listing books quickly. If your dates are available, we suggest booking as soon as possible to avoid losing your dates.**

Nestled in the beautiful North Carolina mountains, our property is located among serene woods, complete with a stream and small waterfall running alongside the property. Watch the wildlife surrounding you, including the hummingbirds in the summer, song birds all season long, and deer. Hike the backyard down to the rippling stream, especially after a rainfall!

The stars are breathtaking at night, as is being immersed in nature and wildlife at all times. There's a beautiful and accessible stream with a small waterfall that runs alongside our property, from which we've seen deer take refreshing drinks!

When you stay at Mid-Century Mountain Retreat, you are far enough away from the noise to feel secluded with privacy, yet a short drive from local shops and restaurants. Our guests enjoy amenities provided by the Sapphire Valley Resort, and nearby excursions such as white water rafting, tubing, and skiing; it's the perfect mountain getaway for any type of vacation!

Under 15 minutes to Whitewater Falls and Gorges National Park, it's perfect for visiting hiking trails, along with Horseback Riding, Sapphire Valley Golf & Tennis, shopping & restaurants. Just 5 minutes from Cashiers, 20 minutes from Highlands, and 1 hour from Asheville. Local grocery store Ingles is nearby for gourmet and basic food shopping needs. This is the ultimate secluded mountain retreat for any occasion!

About the host

Hosted by Liz McCrea

Host profile image
I'm a Florida girl with a mountain soul, living in and loving North Carolina! I live with my husband, our two daughters, and our dog and cat. We enjoy hiking, being outdoors, gardening, cooking, trying new restaurants, and spending time together as a family.

Why they chose this property

Our family's mountain getaway is a true gem, and we go above and beyond to ensure your experience is nothing short of excellent. We initially purchased our home in 2007 as a complete fixer-upper! We completely gutted the interior, re-imagined the layout, and added beautiful interior features and maximized the potential of the space. We've updated all appliances, added timeless decor throughout, and ensured that it's equipped with all the comforts of a home-away-from-home, as it has been for us.

What makes this property unique

Our home has large, beautiful decks that span the entire rear of the house, both on the main level and the lower level (separate rental listing). The stars are breathtaking at night, as is being immersed in nature and wildlife at all times. There's a beautiful and accessible stream with a small waterfall that runs alongside our property, from which we've seen deer take refreshing drinks!

When you stay with us, you are far enough away from the noise to feel secluded with privacy, yet a short drive from local shops and restaurants. Our guests enjoy amenities provided by the Sapphire Valley Resort, and nearby excursions such as white water rafting, tubing, and skiing; it's the perfect mountain getaway for any type of vacation!
