About this property

Mountaintop Getaway with Sunset Views

Located in scenic Avery County, secluded yet close to town, Alpenhaus is located at over 4000 ft. The house features 2 enclosed decks and is surrounded by woods on 3 sides. Wake up to green trees outside your bedroom window or watch the sunrise reflected on the mountains. Look out for foxes as you enjoy breakfast on the south facing deck. In autumn, watch the leaves change from green to hues of red and gold. Enjoy a game of golf at Mountain Glen Golf Club or take a short drive to Grandfather Mountain or Linville Falls, drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway or go hiking or rafting, see the stalagtites at Linville Caverns and then come back to appreciate the sunset from the living room window. In winter, enjoy a day of skiing or sledding at nearby Beech Mountain or Sugar Mountain. Jonas Ridge Snow Tubing is also nearby. Return home, build a snowman and enjoy the gas log fireplace which takes the mountain chill off the evenings. Experience our fully appointed kitchen if you choose to eat in or venture out to local restaurants in nearby Linville, Banner Elk, Boone, or even Asheville. Enjoy the Wooly Worm Festival, Valle Crucis Fair, Music on the Mountaintop, Land of OZ, Singing on the Mountain, Highland Games, Shag at Sugar, Oktoberfest at Sugar Mt., Arts and Crafts shows, and much more. Then return a short distance to the quiet of your mountain getaway.

Love this house!

Our stay was very accommodating and comfortable! Beautiful new bathroom! Plenty of room and privacy. The view of the mountains was astonishing. We would love to return when it is warmer. The property owner was very helpful in answering our questions before arriving and met us when we arrived.

Well-appointed cozy Great mountain View

The treehouse cottage is minutes from downtown Newland. We love the nearby Cranberry Café! My mother and I found that this was like a tardis, bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside! Not for those with weak knees

This place is unassuming, but a perfect getaway place for a family looking to unwind. Breezy nights and rocking chairs by the fire pit make it magical.

Very relaxing and serene

My wife and I rented this house for two days because we were going to the Wizard of Oz festival at Beech bottom. This house is very cozy, quaint, and quiet. We absolutely loved the fact it was secluded with a wonderful view of the mountains. The property manager sent us directions, but we were able to find it using Google maps. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again.

Thanksgiving Retreat

What a quaint, relaxing place hidden in the hills of Newland! Located near local attractions & tree farms, this vacation rental will be a place our family returns and our friends will all hear about. Thank you for the “warm and cozy” atmosphere and the amenities to secure a relaxing family time and adventure.

Great getaway location.

Very comfortable accommodation in a convenient location close to Newland.

We arrived late at night and the hosts were most considerate to turn on all the lights and unlock the door so that we were not struggling in the dark. We had a most comfortable stay with beautiful views of the mountains. We highly recommend this property.

Relaxing Stay in Vintage Home

If you're looking to stay in a house that reminds you of your grandmother's, this is the place for you. It's comforting and very classically vintage. Everything was clean and nothing was misrepresented. The views from the house were beautiful and it was very nice to watch the sunsets.

Great time!

This was a great stay. The place was perfect for us, had everything we needed. There was a beautiful mountain view. The owners could not be more accommodating and easy to work with. We took the trip because we were attending a wedding but have talked about a return visit just because we had a great time.

Comfortable, Simple, Quiet, Amazing Views

We had a wonderful time during our stay. Wonderfully surprised by snow! Icy morning made for a difficult drive up the mountain, but no complaints by us. Home was warm and inviting. Communication with the owners was easy. The decor was a blast from the past. The home has been well cared for. Would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Thurston

Host profile image
Grandma & Grandpa built this house to be close to their grandchildren. Now we want to share this lovely spot with you

Why they chose this property

The Blue Ridge Mountains are a magical place to live. This house is right in the woods and has many windows so you seem to be outside even when you are in. There are many different birds, and a family of foxes. The cool evening mountain air is just the thing after a warm summer day.

What makes this property unique

After a day of shopping, hiking, walking, or sightseeing, this is a cozy and comfortable home to return to. It is near the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls & Linville Caverns. Avery County is centrally located so you can be in Blowing Rock or Boone in 30 miniutes or less or venture further to Black Mountain or Asheville.
