Stunning Views: 2 King Suites+Fire Pit+Fast Fiber Optic
Designed by artists and just minutes from Penland School of Crafts, Conley House is the perfect creative space! A modern cabin located on 6 acres with almost no neighbors in sight, we are also just 15 minutes to shopping/groceries. Our fast fiber optic internet also makes working remotely a breeze!

Filled with all the comforts of home, guests love our stunning views, tableware made by local artists, chef’s kitchen and large bedroom suites.

We are available via text and phone calls and are always happy to make recommendations to help you have a wonderful getaway! We also have a strong team of people locally who can help address any issues :-)

Mountain towns often keep their magic tucked away—hidden waterfalls, small well-curated galleries, backroad orchards, and starlit overlooks you won’t find on a billboard. Staying at Doug’s Way puts you in the heart of it all, and our interactive guidebook turns your trip into a treasure hunt, leading you to the region’s best-kept secrets.

Arts & Culture
+ The area is best known for creativity & the outdoors. With Penland School of Craft, America’s oldest and largest craft school, and a vibrant creative community or artists located throughout Western North Carolina you can explore small, well-curated galleries, shop directly with artists in their home studios, and browse unique shops featuring gems and minerals of all kinds. Drop-in for a self guided tour of Penland’s campus or visit their world class gallery and museum. Spruce Pine is also the home of the National Mineral Museum and historic Dellinger’s Grist Mill (1867).

Outdoor Adventures
+ Hike breathtaking trails at Roan Mountain, Linville Falls, Crabtree Falls, and Mount Mitchell. Drive the Blue Ridge Parkway for endless views and picnic spots. Drive the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. Paddle or float down the Toe River, cast a line in clear mountain streams, play a round at scenic mountain golf courses, or explore Lake James and Brad Ragan Park. For more thrills, try zip lines through the treetops or cool off tubing on a lazy river. In winter, ski or snowboard at Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, or Hatley Pointe — each a fun day trip away!

Food & Drink
+ Enjoy locally owned restaurants and cozy cafés in Spruce Pine, Burnsville & Little Switzerland, sip wine at hillside vineyards, sample craft beer at mountain breweries, or pick heritage apples and traditional options at the Orchard at Alta Pass, also known for their live music, museum and gift shop!

Unique Experiences
+ Go rock & gem hunting at local mines, visit colorful butterfly gardens, stargaze at the Mayland Earth to Sky Park, or enjoy family fun at seasonal festivals and art fairs. Whether your day ends with a mountain sunset, a glass of wine, or the Milky Way overhead, Doug’s Way is the perfect base for your Blue Ridge adventure.


Guests have access to the cabin on the property. An detached artist studio/office/3rd bedroom is located across the driveway and is also available for a small fee. Please ask us for details.

See inspiring, majestic views of Mt Mitchell, the tallest peak East of the Mississippi, from almost every spot at Conley House. This luxury cabin by Stay At Penland is filled with original art, which is only natural with hundreds of artist living in the area. It was designed by artist Bill Brown with one of Doug Sigler’s early kitchens!

The cabin has all the comforts of home: robust gourmet chef’s kitchen, fast internet, 4K HDTV, sound, game system, smart home features, gas log stove, grill, fire pot, and has mostly Christmas trees for neighbors, so it's private!

NOTE: Conley House was part of the elite Airbnb Plus program (meaning we were inspected by Airbnb to ensure quality of stay) and appears on the platform twice with slight differences. The listing you’re viewing does not include access to the detached artist studio/office/third bedroom located above a locked artist studio, which is why the cleaning fee is lower. (Rest assured, the office is never rented separately—you’ll have the entire property to yourselves.)

If you’d like the extra space, feel free to visit our host profile and check out the other listing Dougs Way. While you’re there, you can also explore our other options.

ABOUT THE CABIN
+ Conley House was originally 2 cabins with a courtyard in between. The owner, Bill Brown Sr., later turn the cabins into 2 suites with an open floor plan living space between for him and his family. Bill Brown was director of Penland School after Lucy Morgan, the founder, retired. Railings and many other details are original to the home. The kitchen was made by well known woodworker, Doug Sigler. The cabin is filled with natural light in every room with each door framing the view. The home was designed to be passive solar, so it is not uncommon to be able to leave the doors open on warmer days in February. The abundance of light makes the home a cheery place that is very relaxing. We have filled the house with commissioned and original artwork that we have collected over the years. We hope it inspires you!

VISITING IN THE OFF-SEASON
+ Views in winter are amazing! Hiking the Roan or to waterfalls can be spectacular with almost no one else on the trail. However, in winter (usually mid-December through February or mid-March) some businesses keep different hours or even close, while others do creative things like popup restaurants and special winter openings. If you are concerned about what might be available please ask us. We'd be happy to assist you in deciding if visiting in the off-season would be a good fit.
_____
CHILDREN:
Children are welcome. The house is a home not a museum, so it can be a great place for families. We ask that parents be attentive, putting objects out of reach that may cause a problem or be damaged, putting delicate items are cords out of reach. A number of kid-friendly items such as a cutlery and plates, sippy cups, pack and play, highchair, etc. are available in the cabin.
_____
Conley House is an exceptional experience. We book in advance but please check with us. We’d love to have you!
