Excellent vacation rental opportunity. Situated in a prime central location between Banner Elk and Beech Mountain, it provides easy access to activities like skiing, hiking, biking, wineries, dining, summer theater at Lees McRae College and nearby attractions such as Grandfather Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The main cabin boasts a primary bedroom with a fireplace, and original hardwood floors, full bath, a kitchenette, stunning log beams, and a stone fireplace in the great room, while the upper level includes two bedrooms, a full bath with a footed tub, water closet, a large dining area, kitchen, and an upper loft for an extended sleeping area. Spacious decking complete with hot tub, heated table, a huge flat yard with lots of parking and a fire pit make it ideal for entertaining and relaxing. In addition has a 223 sq ft cabin on the property, remodeled to be a versatile space; think kids playroom or art studio. The upper level loft has portions lower than 7' so the 209 sq ft is not counted in the total square footage. So much to offer with the property including 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, 2 microwaves and a sound system. Both cabins had roofs replaced in 2023. Well pump and tank were just replaced.
