A Million Dollar View Above the Clouds

Mountain Views & Forest Serenity
Wake up to breathtaking views at this cozy chalet, perched on Mt. Mitchell’s peaceful eastern slope. Tucked inside Alpine Village Resort and just 3 miles from the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, you’ll enjoy total tranquility at 3,250 feet.

Surrounded by wildlife—including deer and the occasional black bear—and nestled against the edge of Pisgah National Forest, this retreat is your basecamp for adventure and rest alike. Warm hospitality included.

Welcome to our charming, well-appointed cottage—your home base for mountain adventure and relaxation. One half of a thoughtfully managed duplex (we own and care for both sides), this peaceful retreat includes:

Two inviting bedrooms, each with a luxurious memory foam king bed for restful sleep. Step through the glass doors to soak in breathtaking views, or draw the blackout curtains when it’s time to unwind. Need a different setup? The guest room can convert to two XL twins with sufficient advance notice.

Relax and unwind in the living room, complete with ample seating and three comfy recliners set around a warm, inviting gas fireplace.

Smart TVs throughout the home — enjoy your favorite shows in the living room and both bedrooms with easy access to live television via YouTube TV.

Blazing-fast Wi-Fi included — Enjoy professionally managed gigabit internet, with satellite backup to keep you connected even during outages.

Step onto your private deck and take in stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Just 50 yards from your door, a trailhead leads directly into Pisgah National Forest with scenic access to Mount Mitchell and a network of hiking trails.

Trout fishing less than a mile away. Mount Mitchell Golf Course within 2 miles (currently closed). National & state parks nearby for hiking, biking, and horseback riding (please confirm availability due to ongoing storm recovery)

Cook like a pro in the fully stocked kitchen—complete with dishes, utensils, appliances, and plenty of drinkware. We've even included spices and cooking oils (availability may vary) to help spark your culinary creativity. Craving that smoky flavor? Fire up the gas grill on the front porch and enjoy open-air cooking at its finest.

Refresh and recharge — after your adventures, enjoy the convenience of a full-size washer and dryer, complete with complimentary detergent and fabric softener. When it’s time to wind down, step into a soothing shower or treat yourself to a relaxing soak in the jetted bathtub. We provide body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion to make self-care simple.

Extras to make your stay even better Cool off at the community clubhouse pool (available Memorial Day through Labor Day)—we’ve got the pool towels covered, just pack your bathing suit and sunscreen! And when evening rolls around, enjoy the large fire pit beside the pool for cozy gatherings under the stars.

Ample space, fresh mountain air, and thoughtful touches throughout

Clubhouse Comfort & Heated Pool
Relax at the spacious, welcoming clubhouse or take a dip in the seasonal heated pool, open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Our unit is just a short stroll from the clubhouse, pool, and cozy gas fire pit, making it easy to enjoy the best of the community.

Please note: The pool will be closed on days when the high temperature stays below 70°F (21°C) or during inclement weather.

We're Here If You Need Us
We’re usually available by phone during regular hours, and you can message us anytime through the app or website. Whether you have a question or just need a quick tip, we're always happy to help make your stay as smooth as possible.

***Post-Hurricane Helene Update
In September, Hurricane Helene affected many parts of Western North Carolina, including the Mount Mitchell area. Recovery is ongoing, and while most roads, trails, parks, and local businesses are accessible, conditions may vary. Before heading out, we strongly recommend checking the status of attractions and your route. The NCDOT website has the most current road info. Navigation apps may not always reflect recent changes, so it's best to verify your directions. Feel free to message us with any specific questions—we’re happy to help! And a heartfelt thank-you to all the guests who’ve reached out.

EV Charging
We provide a dedicated 20A/120V outlet on the front porch—just bring a long enough extension cord (about 30 feet / 10 meters) to reach your vehicle.

Keyless & Hassle-Free
No keys to worry about! You’ll have secure, keyless entry with a personalized code provided before check-in.

Mountain Terrain Notice
Our home sits on a steep mountain ridge, and staying in a mountain property comes with certain natural risks. By booking, guests acknowledge and accept those risks. The owners, their representatives, and heirs are not responsible for any incidents or injuries—whether related to the terrain, natural events, or otherwise.

Beautiful stay above the clouds!We absolutely loved our stay. The views were incredible, we truly felt like we were above the clouds. We even saw deer with their fawns right by the property, which made it even more special. The location was perfect for our trip to Mount Mitchell, and there is literally a hiking trail right outside the front door! The home was comfortable, peaceful, and had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again.

We loved our stay and hope to book again soon! The view was even better than the pictures.We have stayed in many VRBO homes over the years, and this one was, by far, the cleanest home we have ever stayed in.The only recommendation would be to hammer in some of the nail pops on the deck.

Great communication from the host, very clean cabin. Stocked with dishes and towels.The pictures really are from the back porch of the cabin, the view is gorgeous and secluded. Great for hiking trips to Pisgah National forest The only issue was there is a 10:00 or 11:00pm noise ordinance for the area and the cabin has a noise monitor for it, I didn't see that mentioned in the listing

Lovely Night by Mt Mitchell

We went up to spend a quiet night watching the meteor shower. It was the perfect location. Area was beautiful and the house is clean, organized and has everything for a great stay. Unfortunately the clouds did not cooperate but we did see 4 shooting stars around 3:30am through a break in the clouds. Thanks

Great Mountain Stay

Best property rental we’ve had. The instructions for access and for other details of our home were great, but they couldn’t compare to the amazing views. It was unbelievable to sit on the porch and enjoy the constantly changing view of the mountains. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to come back. The owner (Jeremy) was great to deal with and was super nice and helpful when we forgot one of our chargers. Everything about the home and location was great. We highly recommend it.

Great weekend getaway

My husband and I went to this VRBO for a weekend getaway. It is a great size for a couple or a small family. The property is very clean and I thought some of the things they provided were a nice touch (like coffee and tea). The pictures do not do the place justice. The views outside are amazing! The host is very easy to contact and responds very quickly. The only thing I didn't like when I was here was the weather, but I am pretty sure the host could not control that:)

This cabin exceeded our expectations in every way. It's one of those rare places that's even better in person than in the photos. The home was spotless, incredibly spacious, quiet, and stocked with everything we could possibly need. The views were absolutely breathtaking and made it hard to leave. In fact, we stayed until the very last minute before checkout because we weren't ready to go! We had a wonderful stay and can't say enough good things about this property. We'll definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family.

Why they chose this property

I grew up splitting my time between Winston-Salem, NC and the Burnsville, NC areas. I've always loved being in the hills and nature and as I've traveled I've grown to love the big cities as well. Despite all my travels I remain drawn to this area and its unique appeal.
