Location
This house is located in Powder Horn Mountain in Deep Gap, NC. We are about 20 mins to Appalachian State and main street in Boone but only about 13 miles. We are about 18 -25 miles to all the ski resorts or about 35-40 mins. Blowing Rock and Banner Elk are each about 35-40 mins from our front gate. The Blue Ridge Parkway is about 7 miles away with an access point at the top of Elk Creek Rd on old 421. The closest grocery store is Food Lion located at the intersection of 421 and Old 421 across from Tractor Supply. There is RV camping and horseback riding near by at Leatherwood Mountain Resort. Local wineries and breweries abound including Appalachian Mountain Brewery, Boonshine Brewing, Grandfather Vineyards, Banner Elk Winery and so many others. So much to do!!!! Make sure to also check out the Lil' Hidden Creek Gem mine located about 1 mile past the back gate of Powder Horn. Call ahead and they will get mining buckets ready for the little ones!
Side Notes
Firewood for the fireplaces can be ordered for $10 per bundle prior to arrival. We also have a local Doula who's information is included in your check in instructions. If you need cribs, high chairs, or other kid items including baby monitors, baby gates etc she is a great resource and will deliver directly to the house prior to your arrival. Grocery delivery is also available for a flat fee. (based on availability) We do recommend getting groceries prior to getting to your house either in Boone, Lenoir or North Wilkesboro. If you do want to do grocery delivery we recommend Lowes Foods at New Market Center in Boone. Additional instructions on this are also provided with check in instructions.
Community
Powder Horn Mountain is a private gated community. (gate code provided on pdf in email after you book) All guests have free access to the community pool seasonally open May to September. Fitness center at the clubhouse, playground, fishing in three community ponds,(please bring your fishing poles!) No permit is necessary in the community but if you want to fish the state stocked Elk Creek you will need one. Miles of community hiking trails with well marked signage and a map in your binder. Make sure you check out the campground that sits on laurel creek and is the perfect spot for a night time fire pit and s'mores or a game of horseshoes.
