About this property

A Million Dollar View Above the Clouds

Mountain Views & Forest Serenity
Wake up to breathtaking views at this cozy chalet, perched on Mt. Mitchell’s peaceful eastern slope. Tucked inside Alpine Village Resort and just 3 miles from the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, you’ll enjoy total tranquility at 3,250 feet.

Surrounded by wildlife—including deer and the occasional black bear—and nestled against the edge of Pisgah National Forest, this retreat is your basecamp for adventure and rest alike. Warm hospitality included.

Welcome to our charming, well-appointed cottage—your home base for mountain adventure and relaxation. One half of a thoughtfully managed duplex (we own and care for both sides), this peaceful retreat includes:

Two inviting bedrooms, each with a luxurious memory foam king bed for restful sleep. Step through the glass doors to soak in breathtaking views, or draw the blackout curtains when it’s time to unwind. Need a different setup? The guest room can convert to two XL twins with sufficient advance notice.

Relax and unwind in the living room, complete with ample seating and three comfy recliners set around a warm, inviting gas fireplace.

Smart TVs throughout the home — enjoy your favorite shows in the living room and both bedrooms with easy access to live television via YouTube TV.

Blazing-fast Wi-Fi included — Enjoy professionally managed gigabit internet, with satellite backup to keep you connected even during outages.

Step onto your private deck and take in stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Just 50 yards from your door, a trailhead leads directly into Pisgah National Forest with scenic access to Mount Mitchell and a network of hiking trails.

Trout fishing less than a mile away. Mount Mitchell Golf Course within 2 miles (currently closed). National & state parks nearby for hiking, biking, and horseback riding (please confirm availability due to ongoing storm recovery)

Cook like a pro in the fully stocked kitchen—complete with dishes, utensils, appliances, and plenty of drinkware. We've even included spices and cooking oils (availability may vary) to help spark your culinary creativity. Craving that smoky flavor? Fire up the gas grill on the front porch and enjoy open-air cooking at its finest.

Refresh and recharge — after your adventures, enjoy the convenience of a full-size washer and dryer, complete with complimentary detergent and fabric softener. When it’s time to wind down, step into a soothing shower or treat yourself to a relaxing soak in the jetted bathtub. We provide body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion to make self-care simple.

Extras to make your stay even better Cool off at the community clubhouse pool (available Memorial Day through Labor Day)—we’ve got the pool towels covered, just pack your bathing suit and sunscreen! And when evening rolls around, enjoy the large fire pit beside the pool for cozy gatherings under the stars.

Ample space, fresh mountain air, and thoughtful touches throughout

Clubhouse Comfort & Heated Pool
Relax at the spacious, welcoming clubhouse or take a dip in the seasonal heated pool, open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Our unit is just a short stroll from the clubhouse, pool, and cozy gas fire pit, making it easy to enjoy the best of the community.

Please note: The pool will be closed on days when the high temperature stays below 70°F (21°C) or during inclement weather.

We're Here If You Need Us
We’re usually available by phone during regular hours, and you can message us anytime through the app or website. Whether you have a question or just need a quick tip, we're always happy to help make your stay as smooth as possible.

***Post-Hurricane Helene Update
In September, Hurricane Helene affected many parts of Western North Carolina, including the Mount Mitchell area. Recovery is ongoing, and while most roads, trails, parks, and local businesses are accessible, conditions may vary. Before heading out, we strongly recommend checking the status of attractions and your route. The NCDOT website has the most current road info. Navigation apps may not always reflect recent changes, so it's best to verify your directions. Feel free to message us with any specific questions—we’re happy to help! And a heartfelt thank-you to all the guests who’ve reached out.

EV Charging
We provide a dedicated 20A/120V outlet on the front porch—just bring a long enough extension cord (about 30 feet / 10 meters) to reach your vehicle.

Keyless & Hassle-Free
No keys to worry about! You’ll have secure, keyless entry with a personalized code provided before check-in.

Mountain Terrain Notice
Our home sits on a steep mountain ridge, and staying in a mountain property comes with certain natural risks. By booking, guests acknowledge and accept those risks. The owners, their representatives, and heirs are not responsible for any incidents or injuries—whether related to the terrain, natural events, or otherwise.

Comfortable and well-equipped cottage with great view

Everything necessary was provided and was of very good quality and generally in good shape. An electric kettle would be a nice addition. Easy to find, given the detailed directions, and well located in terms of the view from the bedrooms and deck as well as access to trails along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Comfortable and enjoyable.

Lovely Night by Mt Mitchell

We went up to spend a quiet night watching the meteor shower. It was the perfect location. Area was beautiful and the house is clean, organized and has everything for a great stay. Unfortunately the clouds did not cooperate but we did see 4 shooting stars around 3:30am through a break in the clouds. Thanks

Great Mountain Stay

Best property rental we’ve had. The instructions for access and for other details of our home were great, but they couldn’t compare to the amazing views. It was unbelievable to sit on the porch and enjoy the constantly changing view of the mountains. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to come back. The owner (Jeremy) was great to deal with and was super nice and helpful when we forgot one of our chargers. Everything about the home and location was great. We highly recommend it.

Amazing view and house

This was my first Vrbo booking. The location was beautiful and quiet. The house was very clean and upkeep. Both bedroom had tvs and a firm, comfortable mattresses. Kitchen had a lot of accessories if you wanted to cook. The living room was very comfortable with a fireplace. Definitely will be coming back. 10/10

Great weekend getaway

My husband and I went to this VRBO for a weekend getaway. It is a great size for a couple or a small family. The property is very clean and I thought some of the things they provided were a nice touch (like coffee and tea). The pictures do not do the place justice. The views outside are amazing! The host is very easy to contact and responds very quickly. The only thing I didn't like when I was here was the weather, but I am pretty sure the host could not control that:)

Excellent Stay

The location is excellent to have a great view of mountains from the backyard. The rooms are perfect to enjoy the outside natural beauty and inside privacy. The kitchen has all utensils that we needed. The property is very clean even every corner. We will bring friends to stay again in different seasons. The only complaint is that we didn’t book for a longer stay.

It just doesn't get any better

The view is indeed a million dollar view. I've been coming to the mountains once a year for forty years and this place is TOPS. the view is extraordinary. We LOVE Alpine Village, great location and ammenities. Right by the Toe River and close to lots of trails, even one on the property. The unit is cozy and has some great upgrades. It would be just right for parents and two kids or three or four adults.

We should have stayed longer!!

This cabin was enough for the 4 of us and the location could not have been better. The owners really paid special attention to detail like: 1. QR codes for WiFi and cleaning procedures 2. Night lights at the foot of the beds to light up the walkway 3. Blankets under the coffee table to snuggle and watch tv. The cabin was clean. Packed with everything you need in a kitchen. The beds were comfy. The showers had great water pressure (that’s important if you ask me). Parking was easy. The view on the balcony deck is amazing!! We will be back!!
