Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

That delicate forest flower,
With scented breath and look so like a smile,
Seems, as it issues from the shapeless mould,
An emanation of the indwelling Life,
A visible token of the upholding Love,
That are the soul of this great universe.

~ William Cullen Bryant

Generally a two-night minimum stay is required. We consider single-night bookings a) when we have fewer than 4 rooms already reserved, and b) within 5 days of arrival (e.g., starting Monday for a Friday or Saturday-night stay). This helps keep check-in/check-out traffic to a minimum for our guests who are staying longer with the intent of enjoying the peace and quiet of our surroundings. Single-night bookings must be made by phone.

North Carolina state and county sales taxes (6.75%), and McDowell County room tax (5.0%) currently total 11.75%.

We have a variety of items available for guest use on request, such as a Pack-n-Play, portable shower seat, ironing board/iron, large pet crate, outdoor gas grill, S'mores maker, fondue set and wine glasses. We also have a wide variety of board games and movies. If there is something else you'd like to see available for guest use, just let us know.

Brigette has recently greatly expanded our Video and DVD collection (hooray for e-bay).  We have more than a hundred popular and classic titles now. These can be enjoyed in the privacy of your room, or on our new projection TV in the Great Room.  Brigette has been expanding our library/book collection as well.
