About this property

Beautiful and spacious mountain view home with fireplace, private pond and firepit!

This property features an oversized deck that looks out on the pond and mountains. This large home is a true timber frame and is entirely constructed with beams, posts and pegs. The living area is open concept with the kitchen, a den, fireplace, and dining all on one floor. And did we mention windows? Natural light abounds. With three bedrooms downstairs on the ground level this allows you to roll suitcases straight from the car through the downstairs screened porch avoiding steps.
The Master bedroom has a King bed with en-suite bathroom. The other two bedrooms have queen beds, with each guest room having its own private vanity and toilet with a shared shower room.

* While the pond is enticing and beautiful to walk around and admire, there is absolutely no swimming. The pond is shallow and is silt. However, the creek adjacent to it is fun for kids to splash around and is shallow enough to look for rock treasures, crawdads, and minnows. Be aware we are in the mountains and woods and we do have snakes in the wooded areas. Shoes are highly recommended at all times.

While you can take suitcases in through the lower level bedrooms, your quickest and most efficient way to get groceries to the kitchens is up the stairs.

Wet Dog Ranch
This property is beautiful and worked out perfectly for our group of 9 (6 adults and 3 children). With the “cottage,” one family was able to have space from the other and with kids that is a major plus. The kitchen was a little lacking in basic items to use if you’re trying to cook there for lots of meals. The beds were not the most comfortable, but they got the job done. Overall, we had a great time!

Plenty of space and central location to kid-friendly activity
This house was a great spot for a large group to gather. We had six children 7 and under... they ALL had the best time. The house was nice, but wasn't SO nice you were afraid to touch anything. It was comfortable and perfect for families. Us adults enjoyed the fire-pit (even in July/August). The kids fished in the pond and rode bikes on and off property. It's centrally located to family-friendly activities... gem mining, white water rafting, highlands shopping, Bust your Butt Falls, Scaly Mountain Recreation... just to name a few.

Wonderful property on the road less traveled
This was a perfect getaway for our family of 4 and our dog. The property was very clean and the host was very attentive. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking. We enjoyed exploring the property and having a quiet break.

Beautiful property
We had a family gathering up there and had a great time! The property was nice and was well stocked. The kids really enjoyed the land and the ponds. We’ve stayed at a lot of different homes in western North Carolina throughout the years. I would highly recommend giving this one a try!

Beautiful Home
We enjoyed our stay so much! The home was beautiful, although maybe not decorated in a kid-friendly way. We were a little worried with all the gorgeous knick-knacks that something may get broken, but luckily we made it through the weekend without any problems! The deck overlooking the pond was our favorite part. The weather was in the upper 60’s so we enjoyed it thoroughly. The location of the house was nearby to local attractions and towns. The kitchen was well stocked. The bedrooms and beds were comfortable, although we did wish we had brought some extra pillows for sleeping. The smaller attached area was nice as well and also well stocked. It was a fun weekend and we would highly recommend this property.
