About this property
Welcome to the "Refuge"! ...relax, explore, your home away from home!
Come enjoy our quaint home in the woods. Secluded in the middle of 25 wooded acres, our mountain home will easily accommodate up to five people with room for more. Take in the many spectacles of nature or just warm yourselves by the wood stove. The beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains is only a short drive away as well as Chimney Rock State Park and Tryon International Equestrian Center (only 20-25 miles down the road!) Have your senses overwhelmed by the color and scents of the seasons! ... indulge yourself on the front porch to the Blue Ridge Mountains!
