The house is way beyond what the pictures show. It has a commanding, 360 degree, penthouse-style view of its surrounding world. You can watch sunrise and sundown from the same spot, in or out of the house. The view is dizzying and breathtaking. Every room in
the main living space on the second floor has large windows, so there are spectacular vistas wherever you look. The wrap-around deck outside the second floor offers even better sight lines, plus lots of recliners to sit in to enjoy the endless vistas.
Star watching is easy: just look up, the remote location means there is no ambient background light to wash out the view of the crisp night sky, jam-packed with stars.
The room interiors are all natural wood and knotty pine, wi-fi is strong, the kitchen is well appointed and well stocked. I can’t think of a single thing that needs to be done to make this place better.
It is easy to get to the Blue Ridge Parkway, national and state parks, and Brevard (which has a nice farmers market on Saturdays).
As their advertisement states, it is accessible only by 4-wheel drive vehicles. They are not kidding. Access is seemingly straight up the last 1/3 mile, over a very rocky, windy, one lane
drive. We navigated both up and down the driveway in first gear, with 4 wheel drive engaged, going slowly, and gingerly steering around the more imposing adjacent rocks and boulders. It was worth the challenge. (There is a parking spot at the bottom of the drive for others, but it is a hike up the driveway.)
