Lovely mountain vacation home alongside the trout-filled South Toe River and a pleasant valley with a view of the Black Mountains, near Mt. Mitchell, highest peak east of the Mississippi River. The property includes a wooded walk down to a riverside deck, swings and a riverside hammock. We are close to many nature trails in the nearby state and national forests, as well as studios of several local artisans, including potters, glassblowers and other artists. Within 30 minutes' drive of the famous Penland School of Crafts. Only 8 miles north of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Approx. 20 miles from Mt. Mitchell State Park. Groceries and other stores in two nearby towns: Burnsville and Spruce Pine. Asheville is about 1.25 hours by car via the BRP. This is a quiet area of natural beauty, not a crowded tourist area. The main level is wheelchair accessible and includes kitchen, living room, bathroom, two bedrooms and the deck. The southern exposure is all windows with nice views of the river and mountains. The lower level includes full windows across the main wall, double bed, Jacuzzi, full bath, wood stove, sitting area and double sofa bed. WIFI included. No land line but good cell coverage.
