About this house rental
Come unwind in the mountains while fishing in the pond, relaxing in the hammock next to the stream, sitting on the front porch or hiking on the 9 acres. Privacy and serenity is what you will find on your getaway in this comfortable home set 1/4 mile off the main road. The house is 15 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Little Switzerland, 20 minutes from downtown Spruce Pine or Marion, 45 minutes from Black Mountain and an hour out of Asheville.
Master bedroom has a queen log bed and it's own full spacious bathroom. The second bedroom sleeps 3 with a twin log bunk bed and a twin single log bed. If more sleeping space is needed the living room has a log futon. There is a mud room with a washing machine and dryer. Kitchen has everything you should need except food. The dining room can seat up to 6. There is also a small table (seats 2) on the porch and a picnic table outside by the stream with a charcoal grill. Build a fire in the fire pit and make s'mores. Play ladder toss in the back yard or just sit and relax and take in the nature all around you.
Home is 1,016 sq ft. Plenty of room for you and your family but close enough in the open floor plan to spend time together.
Property is located off of 226A which is the Diamondback Motorcycle and Sportscar Route. The Diamondback, NC's 226A is loaded with switchbacks looping almost 360-degrees. Runs of S-curves climb and twist sharply as they snake through lush green forest in route to the Blue Ridge Parkway just above Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Sweeping curves, amazing scenery and cool mountain breezes make the Diamondback, NC 226A, one of western NC's last great mountain roadways. Take a drive along the Diamondback for a fun drive and beautiful views.

This is such a great property. My family and I really enjoyed our time in the woods while relaxing and fishing. We will continue to book this property in the future. The hosts were super helpful with the detailed instructions and responsive to any questions. Thanks again for the great memories!

Everything about this property was as advertised and exactly what we expected. The only drawback was the weather, but glad I could help provide some relief from the drought. Lol

My wife and I stayed here as a close location for us to visit Mt Mitchell state park. It was peaceful. relaxing, and secure. We also had our two four legged daughters along and they enjoyed it as well. No problems with the stay so no need to contact the host at all ... they were very detailed on what to bring and what they provided. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if the need arises!!

The setting is beautiful and peaceful. We loved that there are so many comfortable places to hang out outside, chairs and tables everywhere. Nearby Tom’s Creek has beautiful trails.
