Colorful and Cozy Guest Space

Just 25 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and 30 minutes to Boone, our inviting and welcoming guest space is located on the bottom level of our split-level home nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quiet, low-key development! During your stay you will have your own private space (including private entrance) with access to shared spaces. We treat our guests like friends! Come relax with us! Our guest space includes a private lower-level entrance w/ 500 sq feet of guest room, kitchenette/ sitting room combo, a half bath w/ laundry and private outdoor firepit. Your cozy and spacious bedroom includes a queen-sized bed with plenty of pillows, heavy duvet to keep you snug in the winter months and a light quilt for those summer evenings. A loveseat to lounge on, dresser and closet to put your belongings in, electric fireplace to keep toasty warm, and a small bookcase with a variety of reading to keep you busy! If you need to unwind with some tv you will enjoy our mounted 36” TV with Roku to access our provided streaming services (Roku, Peacock, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Tubi, and HBO Max). Free wifi is provided! We are surrounded by great restaurants, but if you would like to cook, your kitchenette has all the things you need for you basic cooking needs! Microwave, countertop convection oven, countertop stove eye, griddle, toaster, coffeemaker (K-Cup style), blender, dishes, cooking utensils, and glassware, will have you set! The dorm sized mini fridge has a small freezer with ice trays and some ice packs! We provide our guests with an assortment of coffees, creamers, sweeteners, and a snack basket! There is a small table and seating for two and a green sitting chair right in front of the picture window for drinking your morning coffee and watching the antics of our crazy dogs (free entertainment). Your large, updated half bath/laundry room is stocked with beach towels, extra paper products, first aid kit, hair dryer, and laundry supplies! Don’t take home dirty clothes, do your laundry here so you can relax when you get home! Gather around your private firepit and roast hotdogs or make s’mores! We provide our guests with plenty of free firewood! Smoking is allowed at the firepit. Guest Access: You have a private entrance to the downstairs (minus one room, Scott’s art studio). This includes the large bedroom, kitchenette, laundry/ half bath, private firepit area, and guest backyard (this is our spring project to make this space special for our guests so please pardon our landscaping construction starting in April 2022). Our guests have their own private parking space just off our driveway (also a work in progress and will be completed in April 2022). We are always looking to improve our guest area so if you have any suggestions (we love a fresh set of eyes) please share them with us! Shared Spaces: Outdoor shared space includes gas grill and seasonal outdoor 20x40 inground pool. Pool is open Memorial Day-Labor Day. You are welcomed to enjoy a day or night swim, the pergola, lounge chairs, and more! We provide beach towels and an assortment of sunscreens! Indoor shared space includes large updated full bath with tub shower and double sink (must climb stairs, see pictures). Guests staying 5 days or longer may need to share the laundry room with us. Scott's art studio is located downstairs in a separate area adjacent to our guest space and he may occasionally be working on a commission piece or pieces for an upcoming show or festival. If you feel this will bother, you during your stay just let us know and he can make plans to temporarily relocate upstairs. Many of his works are hanging on the walls and a majority are for sale if you see something you love! Other things to note: Because of steps leading to the private entrance and steps leading from your guest space to the upstairs shower, we are not handicap accessible. We do our best to be as quiet as mice during your stay, but you may hear walking noises as well as a few barks from our two dogs Haley and Vivi (once they know we have guests they get excited and want to meet you). Once they get to say “hi” they are fine. After booking you will be sent a message 3 days prior to your trip with check-in information. Guests will enter their space through their own private entry. We will send you an email prior to your arrival with more information. We love meeting our guests during their stay! We will also give our guests privacy as well! Great, very quiet residential development. Perfect for walking! We feel safe where we live as we are neighbors with the chief of police and we have several officers living on our street and in our neighborhood. Local downtown shopping, moonshine distilleries, breweries, greenway's, hiking and mounting biking trails all close by (within 10-15minutes). We are: 5 mins from shopping, grocery, restaurants. 10 mins to Merlefest, Carolina in the Fall, Apple Festival (seasonal events). 10 mins from Kerr Scott Reservoir and Wilkes Community College 20 mins from Blue Ridge Parkway 30 mins from Boone 45 mins from Blowing Rock We are happy to point you in the right direction for food, shopping, hiking trails, etc! A guest information book is located in your guest space that should answer any questions you may have about your space, pool info, getting around town, places to eat, etc. We always welcome input and fresh eyes to help make suggestions so we can keep improving! We do have pets and they love having guests (they think you are here to visit them)! If you do not enjoy household pets then this accommodation may not be best suited for your visit to our area. To access the shower, you will need to navigate stairs (please see picture for reference).
