Nestled within the Blue Ridge Mountains, the "Grouse House'' is a true escape. Thoughtfully renovated, this mountain cabin is fresh and clean with primary consideration given to comfort, relaxation, and enjoying magnificent mountain views.

Whether your vacation goals are to nestle in to complete relaxation, or to use the space as a launch pad for a day of outdoor activity, both speeds are accommodated for. Miles of trails are available within the Wolf Laurel community, and as lovers of the outdoors ourselves, we are happy to point you in the right direction for a hike that works best for you. The area is also rich with additional outdoor activities including swimming, horseback riding, zip lining, and rafting. (But it’s also ok to spend the day curled up with a good book by the fireplace or on the deck with the fresh alpine air.)

Perched at 4825’ elevation, this cabin offers mountain views from nearly every angle. Whether you are dining at the indoor table, waking up in the king size bed, or sipping coffee in a rocking chair on the large covered deck, you will be treated to long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and The Pisgah National Forest.

Inside, you’ll find comfortable beds and furniture, new appliances, high vaulted ceilings, and a modern, minimalist aesthetic. With everything you need, and nothing that you don’t, the interior of the home will allow you to completely unwind and relax within the natural setting.
