The dining table seats four, with two additional stools at the counter for casual breakfasts and late night chats. SUPPLIES Beds are made with hotel-quality linens, and a starter supply of paper towels, toilet paper, and basic cleaning essentials is provided - more than enough for a long weekend.

Other Details to Note

Important Information A-Frame Charm: Part of the charm of this home is its unique angles. Please be mindful of your head when getting in and out of bed or moving through a few cozy corners. Loft Access: The upstairs loft is accessed by steep, ladder-style stairs with low railings. It is not recommended for children, pets, or those with mobility challenges. Loft Temperature: Due to the A-frame design, the loft will be warm on sunny afternoons and a bit cooler on brisk mornings. It typically cools comfortably in the evenings, but guests who are especially heat-sensitive may prefer the main-level bedroom.

Neighborhood

The A-frame is nestled in a mountain neighborhood with a mix of locals, second homes, and fellow travelers soaking up the Blue Ridge vibes. It's often quiet but sometimes you can expect to hear the hum of lawnmowers or a neighbor working on projects at their property. Our neighbor next door is fixing up their adorable A-Frame and it's hard to predict when they''ll be working or making any noise. If someone is there, it's usually mid-day and you may see them cutting some wood or working on projects on the property.

Guest Access

The entire home is available for your use other than a locked storage closet located in the main level bedroom.
