Come Up for the Air

Come Up for the Air

This North Carolina wilderness retreat sits at an elevation of 3,000 feet and boasts long-range views, a stunning top deck, and a rustic-comfortable interior. Located in a private gated community, this serene property is the perfect escape from city living. When you aren't indulging in the home's stunning sunrise, sunset, and rolling landscape views, head for the Nantahala National Forest for peaceful walks. The nearby town of Franklin hosts a plethora of breweries, museums, shops, and restaurants. Spend the day on the slopes at Ski Sapphire Valley or Catalaoochee Ski Area, both within 50 miles of your stay. The heart of the home presents itself as the spacious living room adorned with a stone fireplace, comfortable seating, and a large TV. From here, effortlessly walk into the full kitchen where a suite of stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space make cooking a breeze. Family-style dinners can be enjoyed at the formal dining table, or even alfresco on the deck. Escalate your cooking by firing up the provided gas grill. The primary en suite bedroom sports private outdoor access and a spa-like bathroom with dual sinks and an impressive walk-in shower. The additional three bedrooms are just as comfortable with their homey fixtures, partial air-conditioning, and soft quilts. Downstairs, the family room is a fun place to spin your favorite vinyls and sit back with your loved ones. An additional kitchen is also available in this space, equipped with a private washer/dryer.
