Blue Ridge Retreat in Historic Valle Crucis

Tucked in the heart of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, this lovingly restored 1800s log home offers a serene retreat steeped in history and family heritage. Originally hand-built in Tennessee and relocated log by log to its current setting in Valle Crucis, the residence has been thoughtfully redesigned to honor its past while offering the comforts of modern living.

Set in a quiet, picturesque enclave just steps from the Watauga River, the home blends timeless Appalachian craftsmanship with cozy, contemporary amenities. Inside, four inviting bedrooms and two full baths provide space for up to eight guests. Two distinct living areas, each anchored by a rustic fireplace, invite relaxed evenings with family and friends, while the fully stocked kitchen makes preparing meals a joy.

Soft linens, plush towels, and thoughtful touches throughout ensure a comfortable stay in every season. Outside, a spacious wraparound covered porch is the perfect place to sip morning coffee or unwind at sunset, listening to the sounds of the river nearby. The setting is remarkably peaceful, offering a true escape from the pace of everyday life, yet remains close to the charm and conveniences of nearby Banner Elk.

This is a place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories—whether it's cozying up by the fire in winter, fishing or tubing on the river in summer, or enjoying the brilliant foliage of fall.
