About this property
Spectacular Grandfather Mountain Views from three levels, centrally located
Welcome to our mountain home, returning to our mountain heritage, nestled in Sleepy Hollow between Boone and Banner Elk with beautiful views of Grandfather Mountain in all seasons from all three levels. Our 4100 square foot home with double garage is centrally located between Boone and Banner Elk with a quick drive to all the attractions and restaurants our mountains have to offer, including on-site neighborhood hiking trail, tennis courts, and heated pool in summer.
The main level stone entry accesses the central open living area with immediate views of Grandfather himself from the open living/ dining room with stone fireplace, television and DVD player, two dining spaces to accommodate fourteen and large kitchen, all with hardwood floors and cathedral ceiling and adjoining partially covered deck. Enjoy the view from the porch swing or the provided dining table and chairs. The garage can also be accessed from this level for ease of unloading baggage and groceries, and there is an adjoining large laundry room with new front loader washer/dryer and additional storage space and a powder room off the foyer. We are new owners, so new cookware, two sets of china and silverware, ample beverage and food prep items have been provided for your convenience and cooking pleasure.
The large master suite, on this entry level, features a king bed and Pottery Barn mini crib and rocking chair if needed for a little one, with an adjoining sun room with mountain views and television. What a beautiful private reading space! The en suite bath has a whirlpool tub, separate shower, double vanities, a wall of custom cabinets and private water closet and huge walk-in closet.
Descend the open staircase to the second level with an additional large living space with stone fireplace, television and DVD/VCR, large comfortable seating and a game table. This room and the two adjoining front bedrooms open to another deck and view of Grandfather. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other has a queen size bed, en suite bath and adjoining bunk room with a twin over full and a full size crib. The third bedroom on this floor has a king size bed and another twin over full bed. All mattresses are new or almost new and very comfortable with all new linens on all beds and all new towels, etc in every room. We have eliminated personal items to ensure you have ample space for your belongings, so you will feel at home here!
The third level below features two game rooms, one with a pool table and the other with a Foosball and an air hockey table to entertain the young and young at heart. A third deck with Grandfather views and access to the woods below can be accessed from this level.
Come enjoy our home as we return to our beloved mountains and view Grandfather Mountain as grandparents ourselves!

About the host
Hosted by Larry Ford
We both grew up in Boone, graduated Appalachian State, and still have many friends and family here. After college, jobs took us to Raleigh where we continue to live near our three daughters, husbands, and eight grandchildren.
Why they chose this property
We have rented multiple properties near Boone and decided it was time to have one of our own. We have furnished our home to accommodate three generations who love to cook and eat and enjoy time together. We researched properties for over a year and found this home with mountain views, woods, nearby river, and hiking gives us everything we want. We hope you love it too!
What makes this property unique
We love the covered red bridge entering Sleepy Hollow and the wooded one lane road up the mountain surrounded by rhododendron. The huge parking area at our home leads us to the front door and the immediate views of Grandfather Mountain from the living/dining area and deck and covered porch with wooden swing.
