Why the Owner Chose Chimney Rock
When Dianne and I made a trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains 40 years ago we fell in love with the scenic beauty of the overlooks, streams, rivers, hicking trails and wildlife that is abundent to this area. We thought "one day we would like to retire to these mountains" and our dream came true when we found this place after 2 years of searching for the perfect spot. The clean air, fish in the lake, apples on the trees and sounds of nature in the darkness of night made our decission to buy an easy one. Our main motivation was to have a place we could retire to one day and till then, enjoy with our family and friends and share with those who want to experience the beauty and peace that the mountains have to offer.
The Unique Benefits at this Arts & Crafts Bungalow Home
One of the most memorable benefits of being in my home was the time we were drinking coffee at daybreak on our deck. While sitting in our rocking chairs looking out across the lake with the foggy mist rising off the waters, all of a sudden about 24 wild turkeys came marching across the bank between the mountain stream and the lake (about 175 feet from us. Some of their beards were dragging the ground. Another time, early in the morning, while standing on the deck, I saw a golden eagle perched on a limb next to the mountain stream when I heard its mate cry out across the lake on another tree. Then another flew to a tree directly across from me on the lake when its mate cried out from the other end of the lake. Four eagles at one sighting, a rare experience indeed, and I didn't have my camera but I do have the memory forever embedded in my mind. Creating memories like this is what it's all about. There are many more enjoyable moments to share like the time my son caught a 10-lb bass on a 6-lb line and the deer that came up to the apple trees to eat apples just below the deck. These are a few of the many benefits we enjoy while staying in our home.
