About this property

Newly remodeled modern farmhouse in a country setting. Quiet with views

A cozy house that lets you enjoy each other’s company, but yet lets you have your private time with a smart tv in each room. Easily accessible year round, with paved driveway. Quiet country setting with Mountain Views, and a fire pit for viewing the stars, hanging out with friends and family while making smores, or waiting for the fireflies, aka. (lighting bugs), to come out. Room for gathering outdoors for guest activities, or stay cool inside with the new AC. A small creek runs through the property. Enjoy relaxing on one of 3 porches with your coffee and a book or personal media, while being visited by deer and other wildlife. Near Boone, Valle Crucis, Sugar Grove, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock, where you will find lots of quaint shops and a plethora of dining venues. A short distance to shopping, theme parks, skiing, tubing, biking , hiking , state parks, stream fishing, canoeing, swimming, zip lining, climbing courses, horseback riding and gem mining. A lake within 20 minutes with boat rentals available.Also convenient to many restaurants and markets. Convenient to Appalachian State sporting and cultural events. A great place to explore local arts, including murals, and crafts, or a farmers market. There are several Christmas tree farms nearby. The surrounding yard is for your enjoyment only. The adjacent 2 story building is for storage (not for occupancy). The house is easily accessed via about a "0" inch rise from the driveway to the porch and no steps to that entrance, only a threshold. Relax in a clean and cozy property with the people you enjoy spending time with, while visiting the beautiful area.

My daughter and I stayed here for a weekend while visiting AppState and thoroughly enjoyed our time at this perfect little cottage. Martha was very accommodating with our last minute booking request and responded promptly to all communication. We arrived late at night but found the property easily. It was so clean and tastefully decorated! While we didn’t spend a lot of time at the house we wouldn’t hesitate to book again and explore more of the area if we are here again in the future.
