About this property
Great Grandfather View - hot tub, fire pit, great views!
Welcome to Great Grandfather View, where worries melt away and mountain memories are made.
This serene and spacious three bedroom cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and breathtaking scenery, complete with a large upper deck and a private hot tub overlooking iconic Grandfather Mountain. Centrally located between Beech and Sugar Mountain ski areas and Boone, you are just minutes from Grandfather Winery and Hawksnest Tubing, making this an ideal home base for year-round adventures.
Enjoy cool summer breezes, vibrant fall foliage, and magical snowy winter days. Whether you choose a quiet, cozy getaway or an action-packed mountain escape, this is a stay you will not soon forget.
Soak in stunning, direct views of Grandfather Mountain from the expansive covered front porch, stretching over 65 feet wide, or unwind in the private hot tub and backyard fire pit area. This beautiful cabin sleeps up to eight guests and features soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, along with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space designed for gathering. A striking stone wood-burning stove anchors the living room, complemented by four TVs and a variety of games, creating a welcoming space for family and friends to relax and reconnect.
The living room offers ample comfortable seating around the wood-stove fireplace, while the dining area includes a large table and shelves stocked with games for all ages. A conveniently tucked-away desk in the dining area makes it easy to work remotely or catch up on emails. The king ensuite bedroom is located at the end of the hall and includes a walk-in closet, a private bath with a tub and shower combination, and its own door leading directly to the porch and hot tub. Also on the main level is a queen bedroom, along with a full shared bathroom with a tub and shower. Just off the living room, the bunk room features tall ceilings, beautiful peaked windows, and two sets of twin-over-twin bunks, making it a perfect space for kids and teens. For additional sleeping space, the living room includes a comfortable pull-out sofa.
Outdoor living truly shines here. The oversized front porch is furnished with rocking chairs, lounge seating, a full dining table, and a hot tub with unforgettable Grandfather Mountain views. A Weber grill makes outdoor cooking a breeze, and the wooded, sloped front yard provides exceptional privacy. From the side stairs, head down to a lower stone patio with a cozy bistro table, or continue around to the back of the home where you will find a secluded fire pit area nestled in the woods, perfect for s'mores, laughter, and evenings under the stars.
