The house is large, almost like a small lodge, but cozy and artistic. There's a beautiful large flagstone patio with a pond and flowers. Over the last 3 years, we've renovated the house, spending $400,000 to make it a warm experience. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are available on the upstairs floor (one with a view of Grandfather Mountain). Enjoy the downstairs, large living room with fireplace, dining room, and additional bathroom exclusively for your use.
My husband & I are located on the other side of the house in our private section downstairs, allowing the main house for your privacy.
This is a B & B. In the morning, I become your private chef and provide a SUPER DELICIOUS organic breakfast w/ our own chicken eggs, veggies, chicken breakfast sausages/or free-range bacon, bagels, berries, great coffee, etc. Weather permitting, I serve breakfast outside on the patio.
We also have excellent wifi, and movie streaming is no issue. We have a TV with access to Netflix and a DVD player with DVDs.
There is a small refrigerator for guests. We provide towels and sheets, shampoo, etc.
In addition to the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs, we have a Tao's sofa downstairs in the living room that opens up to 2 separate full-size single beds. There Is another private full-size bathroom off the living room.
The stovetop and oven in the kitchen are available for limited use. Heat something pre-made or something simple, pizza or make sandwiches, tea, coffee, and snacks. 3 min from the house is the Famous Louise's Restaurant where they serve lunch and dinner - everything is home-cooked - I love the fish and chips there. Open Wed-Sun.
11 min from the house, The Tin and Trout,' Fresh trout delivered daily. Open Wed through Saturday, hrs 11 - 8.
Banner Elk is 25 min away with many good restaurants.
In addition to the all-inclusive breakfast, we can provide gourmet meals for a reasonable price if we know in advance. We can offer eggplant or beef spaghetti with a delicious mixed green salad, my in-house garlic bread, a bottle of wine, and, to wrap it up, a few scoops of Ben and Jerry's or natural sorbet. We buy organic, free-range beef from a local farm down the road ( you couldn't get healthier), with virgin olive oil and good-quality parmesan—$40 per person. Another alternative is a burger meal (meat from the local farm), two different salads - (mixed green and Waldorf salad), home fries, a bottle of wine, and, to wrap it up, a few scoops of Ben and Jerry's or natural sorbet. -$40 per person.
***We have three well-behaved dogs on the property. They have access to our side of the house and the outside. Our crazy 3-year-old malamute, Koda, will offer the free service as a leash-less tour guide. He'll take you for a forest walk around the property. Just say the magic word, 'walkies,' and off he goes. We also have free-ranging chickens.
This unique home is in a wonderful estate, surrounded by gardens and forests, creating a peaceful destination. We aim to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
