Spacious Chalet on the Blue Ridge Parkway - Early Check-in and Late Check-out!

Escape from the world to the top of Groundhog Mountain at our charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath chalet just steps from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Spend the mornings sipping coffee on the porch while taking in the southern view of North Carolina. Wake up early enough and you'll see why our community is called 'Doe Run' -- there are deer EVERYWHERE. Located just a few meters from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this tranquil community has lovely parkgrounds, a tennis court, basketball court and walking trails for your recreational leisure.

The chalet is tastefully decorated with nostalgic and antique pieces placed throughout (though our 1940s looking radio is conveniently equipped with Bluetooth), creating a cozy and warm atmosphere. The space consists of a large living/dining/kitchen area combo with floor to ceiling windows along the entire south facing wall. At our elevation of 3500 feet, you can see halfway across the state of North Carolina on a clear day. The chalet is equipped with both a telescope and binoculars so you can easily enjoy the views. The oak paneled living room has a wood burning fireplace along with a Smart TV and Roke for some late night Netflix binging. There are two en-suite bedrooms and one large loft so it can easily sleep six people. One bedroom has a king bed and private bathroom, the other bedroom has two twins, full bathroom and a desk area that’s perfect for a zoom call or quiet space for getting some work done. Our upper loft area has two twin beds and a winding spiral ladder installed for easy access.

The spacious porch is furnished with wicker furniture and seating for five and is perfect for quiet evenings watching the sun set or the moon rise. Fireflies abound and at dawn and dusk you can see timid deer approach the grounds of the area foraging for food. We have two large bird feeders which allow for excellent bird watching from the comfort of the chalet (did we mention there are floor to ceiling windows?). In the summer, hummingbirds abound! There are also numerous species of birds and other animals ( groundhogs, raccoons, bears) that one can spot from time to time. It truly is a magical and serene retreat.

Amenities: Tennis and basketball courts, horseshoes, catch and release fishing pond.

Other things to note:
There are around 15 steps leading from the parking area to the front door. Please keep this in mind when booking.

Our accommodations are comfortable and cosy, and we strive to provide a pleasant experience, but we are not a five star resort. We are also a pet free space. Kindly leave your loving furry friends home! Smoking is permitted on our porch but not inside the chalet.

Early Check-in:
Early check-in is available to guests starting at 9am. Early check-in is only available when the day before your check-in is vacant when booking. This happens more often than not. If you are booking and the day prior is vacant, you can assume that early check-in is available.

Late Check-out:
Late check-out is available till 4pm. This is only available to guests when the day after checkout is vacant when booking. If you are booking and the day after you leave is showing as vacant, you can assume that late check-out is available.

We look forward to hosting you!

Loved our stay

The house was exactly as described and perfect for our long weekend getaway. There was lots of areas for hiking nearby and perfectly located for a day in Mt Airy. Comfy beds, nice big towels, great shower water pressure, well stocked kitchen, lovely views, easy parking at the house, We’d definitely stay here again.

Host very responsive

Property was nice it needs some TLC. We were visiting Mt Airy for outdoor concert at Blackmon Amphitheater to experience a time of our lives with Envision R&B and Pop music Group. We visited The Andy Griffin Playhouse so informative. Not many many eateries. Host answered and responded each time I reached out.

Weekend Getaway

We had a wonderful time at this lovely little chalet. Despite the owner’s suggestion in the rental information we did arrive a little after dark so the roads were a bit daunting if you’re not used to mountain driving. Once we arrived the little community was perfect. Directions were easy to follow & check in was easy. Beds were comfy and rooms were cozy. We especially enjoyed the down comforters while watching movies and eating popcorn. It was the perfect little getaway for our long weekend in Mt Airy & Fancy Gap.

Location long way out from anything😕

Scenery was beautiful! Had trouble with lock on door to get in. We drove all day and very tired. Finally got in house and looked forward to lighting wood fireplace however NO wood😞 sat down to watch tv but not working! Went to Mt Airy next day and bought batteries for tv which was the problem. We did enjoy stay but as stated it’s 24 miles to Mt Airy. I would also suggest mats in tubs since it’s very slick. Again beautiful spot

Awesome Stay

My wife and I spent a weekend at this awesome Chalet. It is situated on a prestine meadows overlooking the mountain. It has enough accommodation at least 6. The whole leaving room has windows wall to wall with the view of the mountain. You will love the sunshine in the morning. The amenities in the house meticulously organized. You have everything you need. Las but not least Miriam is an awesome hostess. She is extremely organized and engaging. From the time we booked the Chalet she had been providing us with valuable information. She made sure we checked in properly. She is awesome. I will definitely recommend this Chalet if you quiet and peace and a prestine atmosphere. We will definitely going back👍👍

Beautiful view

I would like to start out with complementing the owner with their communication. The view from the home is beautiful of the mountains however, I was very disappointed in the cleanliness of the chalet. I made our reservation based on her many wonderful reviews however, the cleanliness was lacking. Cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, dead bugs along the baseboards, dirty pans in cupboards etc. Conditioner, shampoo and soap were provided but they had not been refilled and there was a crusted over layer on top of each in the container. Metal and plastic circular staircase never felt very stable. The handrail had been welded in sections to make it fit. Very dated and needs some TLC. Hostess was very communicative and flexible. When I messaged her about the cleanliness, she even offered for her cleaning lady to come by. I declined due to already unpacking and in the middle of Thanksgiving preparations.

For us, we enjoy the blue ridge parkway. It is located right on the parkway; however, it is located in a community so there are other properties connected to your chalet. Someone near us was playing music and another place had a party. The property itself is dated. It was fairly clean. It was well decorated and comfortable.
