About this property
Scenic Winter Mountain Retreat Pet Friendly Firepit Wifi - Stargazer Hideaway
Come find your happy place at the ‘Stargazer Hideaway'. Stargazing at its best. The name says it all! This area has something for everyone and even a few furry friends.
Nestled on 1.2 acres, this brand-new (2021) mountain getaway is perfect for those who are looking for mountain adventures without sacrificing luxury.
Enjoy this stunning new home's panoramic mountain views, take a sunrise walk, enjoy a beverage on the patio, host a barbecue around the fire pit, play a game of corn hole, hike the Appalachian trail, explore the waterfalls, ride the rapids, grab a horseback ride, shop to your heart's content, or relax with a good book.
This well-appointed vacation rental boasts 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and spacious family room. Did we mention beautiful mountain views from every window?
Many of our guests have said they would be happy to spend the day on the cozy sectional looking out at the beautiful scenery from the full length windows in the family room.
An adundance of lighting and kitchen comforts will delight any home chef. A large island is great for preparing wonderful meals and entertaining family and friends. A coffee station provides a traditional coffee maker, a single serve Keurig and a foam frother for the most sophisticated barista.
The open floor plan allows for plenty of room for all to enjoy. Plenty of board games and cards for all ages to play. The 60-inch Roku TV has many entertainment options including Netflix and a dvd player should you wish to bring some of your video collection.
Don't forget to pickup some frewood for the firepit. With adirondack seating for five to enjoy you will want to spend some of your time here. Can you taste the smores and hear the crackle of the fire already?
Up to two well-behaved fur children will love the fenced in backyard and easy access with the well placed doggie door (with pre-approval and non-refundable pet fee).
After a long day of enjoying all that the area has to offer, relax and slumber in the most comfortable beds and linens that complete each bedroom. There are two bedrooms fit for a King with ensuite bathrooms and one bedroom fit for a Queen with an ensuite bathroom as well. Your prince and princesses will enjoy the loft area with daybed and pull out twin mattresses. The master suite is located on the first floor with two single sinks and a large, beautiful walk-in shower. The remaining full baths offer a shower/tub combo. All bathrooms have plenty of fluffy towels for you and your guests. An additional half bath is also located on the first floor.
A two-car attached garage will protect your vehicles from the elements. There are also 2 more available parking spots that are not covered for a total of 4 parking spaces.
Stargazer Hideaway is easy to get to and less than 5 miles from shopping, and dining in downtown Clayton, Moonrise Distillery, Goats on the Roof and such conveniences as Walmart and Ingles grocery.
Less than 15 minutes from hiking and exploring BlackRock Mountain, Tallulah Falls, Southeastern Expeditions white water rafting, Stonewall Creek and 12 Spies wineries. Horseback riding at the Dillard Stables is a quick 20 minute drive.
A short 30 minute drive and you and your guests can enjoy snow tubing at Highlands Outpost or zipline at Highlands Aerial Park.

Why they chose this property
This home has beautiful mountain views from all of its windows. When it rains a dense fog sets in and looks really spectacular from anywhere on the property. It is so quiet and peaceful, yet close to all kinds of activities, places to eat and things to do. You can truly escape the hustle and bustle when you arrive here.
What makes this property unique
You will love waking up and seeing the sunrise and mountain views from any bedroom window in this home. The grass in the front yard is so green it almost doesn't look real.
The firepit is a great area to gather with friends and family. You can also barbeque on the park style charcoal grill located in the firepit area. The front porch has plenty of room for a few people and some tasty libations as well as warm outdoor lighting when the sun goes down. The water for the home is supplied by a freshwater well. Within 15 minutes of the property you can find local distilleries, wineries, hiking, biking, tubing, dining and shopping.
