Whether you are enjoying a mid-morning brunch or are watching the sun set as you rock away the day, the porch at the Blue Ridge Mountain House, which spans the length of the home, puts you in the heart of the beauty of the outdoors. The view of the Blue Ridge unfolding before you is the main attraction. While the home's amenities are many, guests find themselves drawn to rockers on the porch to soak up the expanse of Mahogany Rock, Bullhead and Green Mountains. Built as a residence, this home has been completed renovated with a contemporary design in keeping with the rugged mountain setting. If the cool evenings drive you inside, you'll enjoy the fireplace in the great room. Hardwood floors and unfinished timbers add to the ambiance. The fully equipped kitchen will serve you well for any meal you may want to prepare. Click on the above image for a panoramic shot showing the kitchen and dining and living room areas.
