Hike, play, and explore. Then soak, snuggle, and relax. It’s so easy to take a break from the everyday in the peaceful quiet of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the High Country Hide-Away.
Rock away stress and take in fresh mountain air on the covered porch. Embrace calm in the hot tub or in front of the cozy wood-burning fireplace. Read a book in the loft recliner.

Rowdy guests must leave the property immediately, if a neighbor alerts the owner or the police of a problem. Minimum age for responsible guest is 26.

Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions.
