For outdoor adventures, you'll find easy access to hiking, biking, tubing, and fly fishing.

The house can accommodate many sleeping arrangements with a Family suite upstairs (a queen, full, and twin bed) and a full bathroom, as well as a bedroom downstairs (queen and roll away twin bed), full size pull out couch in family room, and a full bath downstairs.
The house boasts an open concept with plenty of seating at the dining table as well as kitchen bar seating. Lots of games, puzzles, and movies to enjoy at the house, streaming devices installed. Need to work or remote school? We have a private office and large 2nd monitor.

Covered outdoor seating on the back porch as well as seating around the fire pit. Large yard for outdoor family games of corn hole (boards in shed), croquet, and horse shoes. Or relax in the trees solo on a hammock! (provided).

Just a bit farther, visit Mount Mitchell, Linville Falls, Asheville, Chimney Rock/Lake Lure, Brevard, DuPont State Park, Catawba Falls and many other waterfalls. Please check local access and availability.
You'll find plenty of Multi-use trail systems that include Kitsuma, Heartbreak Ridge, Fonta Flora, Woods Mountain, Mackey Mountain and new trails from G5 going into Old Fort and close to many creeks (Curtis Creek) and rivers for fly fishing. Please check local access and availability.

About the host
Hosted by Carl W Dornan

We are a family of 5; 2 adults, 2 children, and one dog. Like most, we are busy with work, school, home, and multiple activities. But when we can, we escape to the mountains. We love to explore waterfalls, mountain bike, or hike, and enjoy new places to eat and drink.
Why they chose this property
Location, Location, Location! The Breakaway Bungalow provides us with so much. It's in a private location surrounded by trees where we can instantly unwind but our favorite places are at our finger tips (We are talking Black Mountain, Mount Mitchell, Asheville, Brevard). There are plenty of restaurants, breweries, and wineries within a short drive, as well as quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, with amazing waterfall hikes and bike trails nearby.
