Nestled in the heart of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, this luxury 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condominium (“Wren 301”) is a relaxing escape from the frenzied life in the lowlands. The condo, located in Blowing Rock and situated on one of the highest hilltops of the Chetola Resort, overlooks rolling hills and a serene lake below. Although up-to-date amenities abound, the big draw for this property is nature herself. From the flaming leaves of fall that clothe these ancient mountains, to the peaceful white of winter, to the fresh buds of early spring and the full flower of summer, the changing seasons will flood your senses with their own unforgettable symphony.
Guests of the condominium have access to a state-of-the-art fitness center, with indoor pool and racquetball courts. After a day of sightseeing or enjoying the outdoors, soak in the Jacuzzi, sit in the sauna, or schedule a session of massage therapy. Dine at the Chetola Resort restaurant or spend the morning fishing in the Chetola lake. When you are ready to venture further out, shop for mountain crafts or antiques in Blowing Rock’s quaint shops or splurge at the designer outlet mall next door. Summer day camps and activities for children abound, and family outings such as white-water rafting, tubing, or bike trips can be arranged by the Chetola staff.
The condo is a 20-minute walk (5-minute drive) to the Moses Cone State Park, with 32 miles of spacious "carriage trails" for walking and breathtaking views. The Moses Cone Mansion now houses the Southern Crafts Center, where locally made mountain crafts can be purchased.
Other attractions within easy driving distance are: Appalachian Ski Resort, Grandfather Mountain, where the July Scottish Highland Games are held, the famous Valle Crucis "mountain church frescos," the Appalachian, Beech Mountain, and Banner Elk Ski Resorts, Linville Falls and Caverns, the "Horn in the West" drama, numerous golf courses, and Asheville, home of Biltmore House and Gardens, "America’s Castle."
Enjoy a relaxing, fun-filled get-away for the family or a quiet, cozy weekend for two. One visit will steal your heart away, and you will want to return again and again. |
