Long Range Unobstructed Mountain Views in a Well Appointed Home

Our home is located at nearly 3700' in elevation and on over an acre of land in the well established community of Hurricane Ridge. Years ago we spent over 6 months renovating this entire home from top to bottom, literally. While it is not brand new, this mountain home looks great. All three floors of this home were gutted and renovated back to the studs and even expanded in some cases. We looked for every opportunity to make this great house even better; including the addition of a third bedroom, additional viewing areas and private deck to the existing downstairs bedroom, an expanded downstairs bathroom to include both a shower and large soaking tub (no jets), new cabinetry for both kitchen and bathrooms, fixtures, and countertops The entire home has been furnished locally by the High Country Furnishings and Design store located in Waynesville, NC. A deck was added to ensure you can enjoy probably the best feature of the house, the view from the outside. The deck wraps the east, south and west sides of the house. For entertainment we have made every effort to meet the needs of all vacationers. Every bedrooms includes a 39 inch wall mounted Toshiba HDTV and a 49 inch Insignia 1080i HDTV in the loft. Each TV has Roku TV.

Our loft is a great viewing and game area with a new double size futon couch, a 4'x8' Connelly tournament pool table with all the accessories, a Foosball table and a 49 inch Insignia 1080i HDTV. Children games and children DVD's are offered so the little ones have something to watch if you are not in the mood to watch another Disney movie for the 10th time!

On the main floor, the open kitchen has stainless steel appliances, Kraftmaid cabinetry, and granite counter tops . We paid great attention to the type of cookware that would be in the kitchen only using cookware we want to use when on vacation. After paying good money to stay in vacation rentals it was awful having to cook with poor quality pots and pans and plastic cooking items. We did our best to buy affordable high quality items to help create a better cooking experience. Enjoy Crate and Barrel dishware, stainless steel cookware, wine glasses and a Cuisinart coffee maker and personal cup Keurig to make that perfect cup of coffee.. While you are cooking in the kitchen family members can pull up a bar stool at the middle island and you can still be in the middle of the fun and enjoy the great mountain view!

The main floor bedroom includes a large king bed and is topped with a pillowtop Beautyrest mattress. Also for entertainment the main floor master bedroom includes a wall mounted 39 inch Toshiba HDTV. The main floor bath ( shower with a tub) has tile flooring, cabinetry with granite counter tops and Moen fixtures. The main floor living area sits beside two 8' sliding glass doors and a wall of windows, all the way to the top of the cathedral ceiling, that provides a spectacular view from every location on the main floor and upper loft. The living room is comfortably furnished to take in the views and enjoy the fireplace.This has easy on and off propane gas fire logs for that true mountain feel. No need to drag large logs in from the outside when your cozy ambiance is can be started with the flip of a switch. The dining area includes a large farm house table. A large picture window provides a stunning view from the dining table of Crabtree mountain. The entire main floor is surrounded by a large deck with spectacular views from every location and four rockers to sit, relax and enjoy the true essence of the mountains.

The lower floor includes a large king sleigh bed, a Beautyrest mattress and 600 thread count sheets are just the beginning of comfort for this private hideaway. This room also includes its own sitting area with a comfy & cozy beige couch to enjoy the private view of Crabtree mountain through the 8' sliding glass door that opens onto your own private deck with easy access to the 79 inch x 79 inch hot tub for four. This master suite will definitely fulfill the need for your own private space while vacationing with family, you will love this private spot.

The downstairs bath includes a stand alone shower, a large soaking soaking tub (no jets) and oversized vanity with granite countertops. The adjoining small bunk room includes two bunk beds to accommodate four people and has direct access to the downstairs bath as well.

Want to roast marshmallows and make smores, add real wood logs ( provided) to the fire pit and enjoy the night stars? Outside you can have a hearty wood fire in the fire pit or relax in the hot tub with mountain views from all sides. Hot tub is accessible for all guests from the outside or directly off your private balcony downstairs.

We are unable to host smokers, vapers or e-cigarette users including those that do so outside. We host many people including our children with severe asthma and allergies and they know from flare- ups if someone has stayed that smokes. Also our next door neighbors know our policy and will call us if they see a guest smoking and yes, even outside. Just please be respectful and stay somewhere else if you fall in that category. The same for pets, no pet allowed or none can be brought up or if a local friend wants to visit you with their dog please make sure their pet does not visit with them while staying at the cabin. Once again, neighbors watch out for us and let us know.


A note about the drive up in winter. Our first snow has been as early as October 31 and as late as mid March. For advance rentals during December through March we absolutely require 4wd/awd and snow chains. No exceptions whatsoever. Our roads are gravel and uncleared when it snows and due to trees shading the roads the ice on the road is very slow to melt at this altitude. You do not want to get stuck on the mountain and walk up with your kids hauling luggage (we have) or stuck at the house when you can't leave due to ice ( we have.) For our guests safety we absolutely require it and we will not offer refunds for weather. If you do not have mountain driving experience I would not book in the winter. If you have snow chains and 4wd you will be fine with access and won't need a refund. Please do not send us a reservation request if you don't have those. We do require 4wd or awd year round due to the steepness of the drive up on gravel roads.The road gets muddy in rainy weather and a 2wd truck can get stuck. If someone has 2wd in your party there is an area they can park lower on the mountain. Finally as we share a private road with our neighbors two cars max are allowed at the cabin.

Finally this house is great for a family or one or two couples. The house is not huge and due to our sharing the road with our neighbor, multiple people staying is not ideal. If you are looking for a place for a group of individuals in different cars this is not the place.
