This cozy three-bedroom, three-bath home is aptly named, for it truly is a retreat. Conveniently located just off the famous Blue Ridge Parkway and only minutes from downtown Blowing Rock, you don't need to choose between a day of shopping downtown and a scenic hike.

When you enter the front door, you walk into a large open-plan living room and kitchen with cathedral ceilings and tons of natural light. The recently renovated kitchen offers granite countertops, an island with seating and new stainless steel appliances. Just steps from the kitchen is a large deck with a propane grill, and outdoor seating to enjoy those long summer nights.

On the main floor down the hallway, you'll find two bedrooms, a queen bedroom with ensuite bathroom. You'll also find a bedroom with two twin beds and jack and jill bathroom.

Upstairs, you'll find a cozy reading nook that overlooks the living room. You'll also find the large King master bedroom and attached ensuite. With a double vanity and stone tiled shower, it feels like a true oasis.

The lower level of the home contains a large game room, with two bunk beds for all your guests. With a card table, TV, and ping pong table just steps away in the garage, it's the perfect hideout for all the kids in your group.

The true adventure begins in the large backyard at Parkway Retreat. With a small bubbling creek alongside the stone firepit, you'll find yourself drawn to the beauty of the Blue Ridge nature abound. With a large treehouse, there is no shortage of fun to be had!
