About this property

Located in scenic Avery County, secluded yet close to town, Alpenhaus is located at over 4000 ft. The house features 2 enclosed decks and is surrounded by woods on 3 sides. Wake up to green trees outside your bedroom window or watch the sunrise reflected on the mountains. Look out for foxes as you enjoy breakfast on the south facing deck. In autumn, watch the leaves change from green to hues of red and gold. Enjoy a game of golf at Mountain Glen Golf Club or take a short drive to Grandfather Mountain or Linville Falls, drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway or go hiking or rafting, see the stalagtites at Linville Caverns and then come back to appreciate the sunset from the living room window. In winter, enjoy a day of skiing or sledding at nearby Beech Mountain or Sugar Mountain. Jonas Ridge Snow Tubing is also nearby. Return home, build a snowman and enjoy the gas log fireplace which takes the mountain chill off the evenings. Experience our fully appointed kitchen if you choose to eat in or venture out to local restaurants in nearby Linville, Banner Elk, Boone, or even Asheville. Enjoy the Wooly Worm Festival, Valle Crucis Fair, Music on the Mountaintop, Land of OZ, Singing on the Mountain, Highland Games, Shag at Sugar, Oktoberfest at Sugar Mt., Arts and Crafts shows, and much more. Then return a short distance to the quiet of your mountain getaway.

Relaxing Stay in Vintage Home

If you're looking to stay in a house that reminds you of your grandmother's, this is the place for you. It's comforting and very classically vintage. Everything was clean and nothing was misrepresented. The views from the house were beautiful and it was very nice to watch the sunsets.

Quaint little comfortable cabin

The cabin was very clean, comfortable & well appointed although it could use some updating. The view & location were spectacular; close to town but very quiet & private. The stairs, which is the only entrance into the cabin, are super steep and quite difficult to maneuver especially with a larger dog or a person with mobility issues. I was thankful my elderly parents weren't with us due to this. The gas fireplace was on when we arrived, which was nice, but we were unable to get it to work for the duration of our stay. Perhaps, we were doing something wrong though, so not sure. The kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals. The owner was great at communicating & overall, we enjoyed our stay at Alpenhaus.

Comfortable, Simple, Quiet, Amazing Views

We had a wonderful time during our stay. Wonderfully surprised by snow! Icy morning made for a difficult drive up the mountain, but no complaints by us. Home was warm and inviting. Communication with the owners was easy. The decor was a blast from the past. The home has been well cared for. Would stay here again.

Great place with great views

We enjoyed our stay here! The house was very clean and cozy. The views are beautiful inside and outside of the home. The hostess was wonderful from directions to the house to quickly responding to any of our questions. She was beyond accommodating with all our needs. We will be back again. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Thurston

Grandma & Grandpa built this house to be close to their grandchildren. Now we want to share this lovely spot with you

Why they chose this property

The Blue Ridge Mountains are a magical place to live. This house is right in the woods and has many windows so you seem to be outside even when you are in. There are many different birds, and a family of foxes. The cool evening mountain air is just the thing after a warm summer day.

What makes this property unique

After a day of shopping, hiking, walking, or sightseeing, this is a cozy and comfortable home to return to. It is near the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls & Linville Caverns. Avery County is centrally located so you can be in Blowing Rock or Boone in 30 miniutes or less or venture further to Black Mountain or Asheville.
