The visit was a delight. It’s beautiful, well designed house with ample space, beautiful views, an ample porch and nice bedrooms and bathrooms. The fireplaces are wonderful, the seating is comfortable and cozy. The two separate living room and reading room was a nice surprise. The kitchen was well furnished. We enjoyed chatting by the fire at night and drinking our coffee in the reading room with the big window in the morning. Time on the porch was nice, too. We had a few deer sightings. I can’t wait to come back for a longer stay and hikes. The drives to Blowing Rock and Boone were easy and scenic.
