Location: Bakersville, Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, USA (One Hour Outside Asheville)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 4 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Desirable, peaceful mountain house nestled between the Appalachian Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Approximately four miles North of Bakersville, this getaway perched on a mountainside offers a year round view of the Roan Mountain and twenty miles beyond the NC border into Tennesee.
Enjoy your morning coffee listening to the birds, counting the wild turkeys or grilling the evening meal while whatching the evening sunset. Inside, you will notice the exquisite custom woodwork milled from trees grown on the property.
Nearby is the Penland Center, many local artisans, tubing, fishing and of course, hiking the Appalachian Trail. Local towns close to Bakersville are Spruce Pine and Burnsville. An hour away is Asheville to the south or Boone and Banner Elk to the north.
The custom designed and built house has two bedrooms, a loft, a basement and four full baths. The entry way is lined with maple logs and an inlaid floor. The floors are ash, locust and tile; the ceilings are popular, wormy maple, cedar, and pine. All the doors are custom made solid cherry. Finishing off the interior are windows offering a panoramic view trimmed in solid cherry.
Two decks perched high above the property allow you to take in the beautiful views day and night, summer and winter. Framing the deck is a custom railing, built by a Bakersville blacksmith, supported by aged locust logs. The huge stone retaining walls and field stone foundation and chimney compliment this unique design and firmly anchor the house to the mountainside.
The family room has a large field stone fireplace with a cherry mantel, custom built from the first cherry tree cut and milled from the property during construction. This large 36’ by 18’ room has more than enough room for a couple of families to relax and enjoy each other’s company.
The master bedroom has a king bed with adjoining bath, equipped with walk in shower, soaking tub and two cedar vanities. This large bedroom is appointed with a sofa and love seat , yet still has enough floor space for the futon and little ones, if the loft is taken with the big kids.
The guest bedroom has a queen mattress and adjoins the main bathroom. The main bath includes a custom built cherry vanity and large shower/tub unit.
The kitchen has custom-built hickory cabinets with granite tile countertops. The fully equipped kitchen also offers a view of the Roan Mountain making the preparation of meals a joy.
The spiral staircase takes you up to the loft that includes its own bath with a shower. The four twin beds and full size futon make this room a child’s paradise. Parents can keep an eye on them through the railing while enjoying their own private time on the back porch or family room.
The laundry room is nestled between the family room and the main bath for easy access. The basement is currently unfinished but has a usable fourth-full bathroom where a large walk-in shower makes this room great for cleaning up after a day of enjoying the river or hiking the woods.
