Welcome to 1Eight3 Retreat!
1Eight3 Retreat is an immaculately maintained, elegantly furnished and decorated, modern mountain cottage on Appalachian Ski Mountain in Blowing Rock, less than 2 miles from downtown. The Blue Ridge Parkway is only a mile away, and Tweetsie Railroad is only about 3.5 miles away. The Town of Boone and Appalachian State University are both about 5 miles away. Valle Crucis is approximately 12 miles away and the Town of Seven Devils and Hawksnest Snow Tubing and Zip Lines are about 15 miles away. Grandfather Mountain is less than 14 miles away. Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and Beech Mountain Ski Resort are 18 and 27 miles away, respectively. Watauga Lake and the Tennesee line are less than 30 miles away. All there is to do in the High Country is conveniently nearby.
The cottage itself is a two-story, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home ideal for a romantic weekend getaway, or a small family High Country vacation to enjoy any of the four seasons. The owners have lovingly and thoughtfully outfitted this home with a comfortable yet elegant consistent mountain modern theme throughout, which should be desirable to the most discerning guests.
Enter through the front door into the main level foyer and you will find the kitchen and dining area immediately on your left. Dine six guests comfortably after preparing meals in a kitchen equipped with butcher block counters, custom Shaker-style cabinets, stainless appliances, and a gas cooktop. Down the main hall is the living room looking out at the rear covered porch and onto the private back yard surrounded by woods. The living room has a large wall-mounted HD Smart TV, comfortable upholstered and leather furniture, with a good mix of rustic and modern touches. Glass doors lead out from both the kitchen and living room onto the covered porch and deck, which wraps around from the front, side, and rear, and offers comfortable outdoor seating with heat for chilly days and nights, an outdoor dining table, and a stainless gas grill. Also on the main level is a half-bathroom/powder room which also serves as a laundry room.
Upstairs you will find all three bedrooms and both full bathrooms. The master suite features a king bed, HD Smart TV, and a private bathroom with a shower/bathtub combo. There is a queen bedroom which also has an HDTV, and a bunk bedroom with a twin top bunk, and a full-size sleeper sofa underneath. The bunk bedroom also has an HDTV. Central in the hallway is another full bathroom with a tub and shower combo.
Downstairs you will find a game room with HDTV and foosball table for casual family fun. Ample parking and a large landscaped yard with a gazebo swing make this a wonderful place for groups of up to 6. Dogs are allowed (no cats!) but only 1 per reservation, with a 50-pound weight limit.
Sleeping Arrangements (maximum occupancy of 6 guests):
Upstairs King Master Suite (sleeps 2)
