About this property

Grandfather`s-Backside

  • Summary:

    Grandfather`s Backside - Savor the view of the backside of Grandfather Mountain while relaxing on the covered porch.



    The Space:

    This cozy two-bedroom two-bath rustic cabin plus loft is located in a wooded setting off Highway 221 South about 10-15 minutes from Blowing Rock.  The cabin is sure to provide you with a perfect home base for your mountain vacation, whether you like the shops and restaurants in downtown Blowing Rock, hiking, driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, or simply relaxing.



    An open family room features a new, wall-mounted smart TV with Spectrum Streaming, wood floors, and a freestanding gas fireplace. The living area opens into a fully equipped kitchen with a dining table that provides seating for three with space for four at the kitchen bar.  Cabin décor, tongue-and-groove paneling, and newly insulated ceiling create a welcoming atmosphere in this cozy cabin.   Although the cabin has a central AC/heat system if you prefer, the screened windows and two screen doors will allow you to enjoy the cool mountain air.



    On the main floor, at the end of the hall, one bedroom has a queen bed, while a second bedroom offers a twin bed, providing plenty of sleeping space.  A hallway bathroom and a laundry closet are accessible by all.



    Upstairs, the large master loft offers a queen-sized bed and large bathroom, exposed rafters, beautiful tongue-and-groove paneling, and a flat-screen TV.  You’ll love unwinding in the corner soaking tub.



    The covered front porch runs the length of the house, provides a stainless propane grill, and rockers for comfortable seating, and has wonderful partial views of Grandfather Mountain once the leaves have fallen for the year. Walk outside through attractive landscaping on a path to the back deck or through the kitchen door into wooded privacy.  Enjoy the flat yard or roast marshmallows around the fire pit.



    The cabin is located in an older residential area, not a planned or gated community.
