*Additional details~
We have a 5 bedroom home with large windows lining the back of the primary floor, allowing the space to feel one with its natural surroundings. And because the primary floor is raised, you feel like you're high up (already being 3500 ft. Elevated). You can access the exterior onto the large, brand-new deck (yes we went ahead and re-did that too for safety, seated views, and BBQs -even added a dinner bell! There are several, private trails, included one we have created (and still forging) and several that already existed, exclusive to this particular neighborhood. Luxurious, neutral carpeted bedrooms, roman shades, and hardwood floors exist in the primary floor. We've been told our beds and couches are comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked and the fridge is large. Grab a roast for Ingles, set to low in the 15Q crockpot for easy dinners. For the aesthetic, I've kept some of the traditional decor-American antiques, added braided, area rugs, and hanging, blue & white plates. Finally, in the "Bear Den," there's a gaming area with puzzle, poker, and ping-pong tables. The home is priced reasonably for the area. The homeowner pays annually for access to the resort amenities, private security services/Blue Ridge Public Safety, and while guests are charged of $5/day ages 14+ to access to pools, health club, mini-golf, hot tub, lake, etc, you are still paying an upcharge to golf, ski, zipline (also open to public), but you do still get a significant discount by staying at this home.

The home is situated far enough from busier traffic, very close proximity to all the amenities, shopping, etc. Private waterfall trails.
