Escape from the world to the top of Groundhog Mountain at our charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath chalet just steps from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Spend the mornings sipping coffee on the porch while taking in the southern view of North Carolina. Wake up early enough and you'll see why our community is called 'Doe Run' -- there are deer EVERYWHERE. Located just a few meters from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this tranquil community has lovely parkgrounds, a tennis court, basketball court and walking trails.
The chalet is tastefully decorated with nostalgic and antique pieces placed throughout (though our 1940s looking radio is conveniently equipped with Bluetooth), creating a cozy and warm atmosphere. The space consists of a large living/dining/kitchen area combo with floor to ceiling windows along the entire south facing wall. At our elevation of 3500 feet, you can see halfway across the state of North Carolina on a clear day. The chalet is equipped with both a telescope and binoculars so you can easily enjoy the views. The living room has a wood burning fireplace and Oak lined panels along with a smart TV and Roke for some late night Netflix binging. There are two en-suite bedrooms and one large loft so it can easily sleep six people. One bedroom has a king bed and private bathroom, the other bedroom has two twins, full bathroom and a desk area that’s perfect for a zoom call or getting some work done. Our loft has two twin beds and a winding spiral ladder installed for easy access.
The spacious porch is furnished with wicker furniture and perfect for quiet evenings watching the sun set or the moon rise. Fireflies abound and at dawn and dusk you can see timid deer approach the grounds of the area foraging for food. We have two large bird feeders which allow for excellent bird watching from the comfort of the chalet. In the summer, hummingbirds abound! There are also numerous species of birds and other animals ( groundhogs, raccoons, bears) that one can spot from time to time. It truly is a magical place.
Amenities: Tennis and basketball courts, horseshoes, catch and release fishing pond.
