A place to stay while attending Penland school

Quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants and post office and library and highway. Very nice appliances (A/C, oven, washer, dryer, coffee maker). We spent the days at the Penland art school, which is about a ten minute drive away.

Great Little House

We only stayed for two nights for a mini birthday trip but it was a great time! Loved the older build of the house but it also had all the up to date things to make it cozy and comfortable. Definitely a great place to stay if just you or a small family.

Perfect Location

This was a perfect find for a trip to help out my family. We normally stay further up in the mountains but on this occasion I needed to be close to the kids' schools and this worked out perfectly. Great little house that was super clean with a very well-stocked kitchen! I really appreciated the charging stations in the bedroom! Finding plugs in older houses is sometimes a challenge. Very close to restaurants in Spruce Pine. Would definitely recommend if you want to be right in Spruce Pine as your home base.
