Breathe in the mountain air from the balcony of this studio apartment over the detached garage in a quiet, private neighborhood. Whether an adventure enthusiast or one who simply seeks a restful retreat this cozy hideaway fills the bill. Eight minutes to the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway and ten minutes from Soco Falls, the area abounds with hiking trails, waterfalls, astonishing long range views and wildlife viewing. Fireflies blanket the valley in summer, where elk may be seen foraging in valley pastures at dawn and dusk.
The large studio apartment is designed for function and comfort; with easy year round access it includes a King bed, smart TV, WiFi and charging stations. A restful space with ample light for work or dining at the table and room darkening curtains to assure peaceful sleep. The kitchenette offers all you need to prepare simple meals in house; sink, mini fridge, induction cooktop, Ninja Oven (air fryer, toaster oven), toaster, Keurig coffeemaker and service for four. The rustic en-suite bath is equipped with a large shower / tub.
Walk to the famous Joey’s Pancake House for breakfast and take a beverage or meal break later by Jonathan Creek on the deck of Bearwaters Brewing, both a five minute walk. In the evening wander down to Legends bar and grill for Karaoke most nights. Keep your eyes peeled for elk!

Our property has a strict 2-guest maximum policy. If you arrive with more than 2 guests, your reservation will be canceled immediately, and no refund will be issued. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in respecting our guest limit.
European-style stairs:
Our stairs are a more traditional European style—steeper and not as deep as standard U.S. stairs. They’re perfectly manageable for most guests, but if you have mobility concerns, these may not be the best fit.
Mountain roads & driveway:
We live on a mountain in the mountains, which means the roads aren’t flat and our driveway requires a simple three-point turn when leaving. It’s easy for most vehicles, but if that sounds a bit more than you’d prefer, feel free to check out our other listing, The Barn, which has an easier layout.
For guests traveling with trailers, we offer secure offsite trailer parking by request; just let us know in advance if you need to use this option.
