The Scenic View Drive Residence
Perks for the Parents
A stunning mountain retreat in North Carolina, with a dedicated game room, inspirational mountain views and a home gym. It sleeps 11 + 2. The hosts have 2 young children, so the house is well set-up for families, with kids plates and utensils for stress-free family meals and lots of space for everyone to have their own privacy. Parents will love the gym for at-home workouts, while those who need to work can take over the upstairs office for some quiet time. The stand-out feature here is the beautiful deck, which has a BBQ, firepit and outdoor seating overlooking the hills - the perfect spot for your morning coffee or a glass of local wine after the kids go to bed.
Why Kids Love it
Babies, toddlers, tweens and teens will all love this property. There’s lots of space for little ones to run inside and outside safely on the 2000 sqft deck, where they’ll find water play tables and a massive sandbox with fresh play sand. There’s also heaps of safe, private land to explore and play outdoor games. Older kids can hike the grounds or chill out and play video games in their own upstairs bonus room (which has a 65 inch TV, game console and beanbag chairs). There's a huge stock of family board and card games with a breakfast nook/game room perfect for family nights. The hosts are happy to accommodate any other requests for families so please ask!

Safety note: there is a no-stairs access option via the back door of the house to the main (upstairs) floor with the kitchen, primary living room, as well as a full bathroom and bedroom for elderly guests staying with the family.

Accommodation Details
Surrounded by 500 acres of private, undeveloped land, this gorgeous home features 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, set over 2 floors. There are 2 living areas and 2 dining areas, as well as a separate kitchen with a large central island. There are 4 dedicated bedrooms as well as 2 rooms that can be converted into additional sleeping quarters for a total of 6 bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms have kingsize beds; the children’s bedroom has 2 single beds. Currently the final 2 bedrooms are used as a ‘bonus room’ and the ‘upstairs office’ (which have either a double bed or an airbed on request). There’s also a full crib in the primary bedroom with fresh sheets and crib mattress. One of the downstairs bathrooms has a shower/tub combo perfect for bath time with little ones, along with a separate primary bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower and jetted jacuzzi tub for 2 (with amazing views).
Style Notes
Rural retreat. This house is full of light and beautiful windows framing those spectacular views. It has a relaxed feel, with art and photography from around the world and lots of areas to relax and take in the landscape. The heart of the home is the amazing kitchen, with hardwood floors, stone tiles, and massive south-facing picture windows for sunsets you'll never want to miss. We love the beautiful old piano, the pops of red adding a modern touch to the natural color scheme and the rustic exposed stone wall details.
