Charming cottage nestled beside the Blue Ridge Parkway and over 10,000 acres of untouched National Park forest, offering direct access to hiking trails and scenic beauty. Just minutes from iconic landmarks like Price Lake, Bass Lake, Moses Cone Manor, and the Linn Cove Viaduct, this home is ideally located for outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy easy access to beloved trailheads including Tanawha, Boone Fork, and Nuwati. Situated in a peaceful community less than 10 minutes from the enchanting downtown Blowing Rock—one of Southern Living’s “Best Small Towns”—this property offers both tranquility and convenience. Located off Holloway Mountain Road, you're just 15 minutes from Grandfather Mountain and Appalachian Ski Mountain, and only 20 minutes to Boone. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, the home features a bright, open floor plan with soaring ceilings, two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, and a spacious primary ensuite upstairs. With a 4-bedroom septic system already in place, the unfinished basement presents an excellent opportunity for expansion. A rare find given the location, condition, and potential.
