Misty Mountain Hideaway | Under New Management, Hot Tub & Mountain Views

Misty Mountain Hideaway began new management in 2023, so reviews prior to 2023 do not reflect the current management of the home.

On the main level, the sleek and inviting open-concept kitchen and living room create a memorable entrance overlooking long-range mountain views. Choose to enjoy the warmth of the gas logs, or plan the day's adventures over a puzzle at the dining table. Step outside onto the two-level deck to warm up around the fire table, soak in the hot tub, or enjoy a delicious meal at the covered dining area. A powder room can also be found on the main floor for your convenience. The upper floor boasts an impressive and unique primary suite with a California king-size bed, a gas logs fireplace, an in-room jetted soaking tub, and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Continue to the lower level for two additional bedrooms; one with a king-size bed and one with a queen-size bed, joined by a jack-n-jill style bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Misty Mountain Hideaway is within a 20-minute drive to the quaint Village of Chimney Rock, Lake Lure Beach & Waterpark, Lake Lure Flowering Bridge, and scenic Chimney Rock State Park, so you can spend your days hiking on the various trails within the state park, browsing the adorable shops, or soaking up the sun, swimming, and canoeing on Lake Lure's mountain beach. While in town, be sure to grab lunch at Lake House Restaurant Bar & Grill, La Strada, or Point of View before sampling a local beer at Hickory Nut Gorge Brewery or a glass of locally-curated wine at Burntshirt Vineyards.

The home is also within a 25-minute drive of Fairview. While in this area, be sure to check out Hickory Nut Gap Farm which is best known for its meat supply to the finest farm-to-table restaurants in the AVL area & as a stop along the WNC Cheese Trail. Another destination along the cheese trail is Looking Glass Creamery. Stop by to sample their homemade cheese & “Carmoolita” caramel paired with a glass of wine. For more farm fun, visit the sustainable Flying Cloud Farm, where you can treat yourself to a vibrant U-pick bouquet of native flowers & a bushel of fresh berries.

For area hiking, check out Bearwallow Mountain trail, an easy 1-mile hike that reaches a grassy meadow at its summit and features a nearly 360° view that includes Mt. Mitchell and Mt. Pisgah. You'll love strolling through the wildflowers & picnicking alongside the grazing cattle that call this mountaintop home. After your hike, reward yourself with a cold beer from Whistlehop Brewing Co. Nestled on a sprawling 3 acres, this family & pet-friendly train-themed taproom offers a 6-hole mini-golf course, and other fun games and activities that include disc golf connect 4, the half-scale bowling lane, bocce, a giant culvert slide, and soccer. Gather around the fire pit and take in beautiful mountain views from the covered open-air deck while munching down on grub from a selection of rotating food trucks. Also nearby is Turgua Brewing, which is situated beside Cane Creek and offers live music to enjoy while sipping on their craft ciders, meads, or ales.

Remember that no trip to the mountains of Western North Carolina is complete without checking out the bustling and eccentric city of Asheville just 40 minutes away. Home to art galleries, craft breweries, award-winning restaurants, specialty boutiques, and novelty shops, you could easily spend all your time in the bustling heart of downtown. While in Asheville, be sure to check out the iconic Biltmore Estate and America's Favorite Drive, The Blue Ridge Parkway. After a full day of exploring nearby towns and cities, head home to cozy up around the gas logs fireplace and soak in the hot tub while looking out at the stunning mountain views.

With no shortage of amazing outdoor spaces and majestic mountain views, you'll be dreaming of Misty Mountain Hideaway anytime you're away!
