About This Home

Amazing long range views from this mountain cottage near Appalachian Ski Mountain. Conveniently located between Boone and Blowing Rock, this property is 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and borders Moses Cone Park. You can hike to the Fire Tower right from your front door! Access trail is just at the top of the neighborhood! Enjoy the July 4th Fireworks at Tweetsie Railroad right from your deck!
This home features 2 decks (one covered and one open), a bedroom and bath on each level so everyone has their own space, a mud room just outside the front door, a covered carport to allow for a easy transition into the house, an outside storage building, and is offered mostly furnished, with a few minor exceptions. This property has been lovingly maintained by the current owner, and only used 4 months a year for the last 18 years. It would make a great vacation rental or summer home!
