Tucked away in Burnsville's Pensacola farming area this charming mountain retreat has been in the same family for over 50 years! The early 1900s farm home has all the modern conveniences including central heat and air, gas log fireplace, fully stocked kitchen, and games and puzzles for all ages. Super clean with comfy beds. This is a true vacation home not a 2nd home full of personal items. See our reviews!

Please NOTE there are several honey bee hives on the property.

Our valley is a bird haven with so many species to see its fun to spend a few hours to see who can identify the most. The milky way is visible much of the year on a clear night not to mention viewing the annual meteorite showers. All summer our mountains hosts fireflies but June offers the possibility of seeing a rare mega display that is awe inspiring. Experienced local fly-fishing, guides available.

Easy 7 mile drive to town. The Cane river at the end of the road offers both fly and light tackle mountain trout fishing. The local swimming hole with a rope swing is right up the road. Cute and unique shops to explore in Burnsville. Check out the Parkway Play House's summer play list

Enjoy the local dining or head into Asheville for diverse culinary choices, art galleries, The Biltmore, and so much more. Don't miss the view from Mount Mitchell (highest peak east of the Mississippi), the Little Switzerland Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the many area hikes. There's Grandfather Mountain, the AT, gem mines, waterfalls, Navitat zip-lines, white water rafting, Craggy Gardens, a dark sky observatory, and more.

We are in the mountains at 2,900 ' elevation, yet have state maintained road, no need for 4WD. A beautiful spot any time of the year. Please note we have internet but no cable. Hulu basic, Amazon, and Netflix are included. There is no cell signal at the house.

There is an apiary (bee hives) on the property line approximately 70 yards from the house. Pets and children should be supervised. We have not had any issues and many people enjoy watching them coming and going. We are rural with wildlife (deer, gardens, dogs, occasional bear, etc.) and the great outdoors all around.

The local farmer’s market on Saturday spring-to-fall that is rich with local produce.
