While our home is cozy, we have furnished it with artwork from local artists including our favorite Wesley Waugh from Blowing Rock and a few of our favorite antiques... the woodbox was bought on Route 66 in Amarillo, TX. The most special thing about our home is that it quiet and comfortable and relaxing, but located close to ski resorts Beech and Sugar Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, Boone, and Blowing Rock for day trips. A favorite activity, the Virginia Creeper is a 17-mile downhill bike ride starting in Damascus, VA. is only 1 1/2 hour drive from our home and which winds through gorgeous scenery, around a river and the Appalachian Trail. We often drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, hike and explore nearby towns.
