At 3000 ft. elevation, you can enjoy long range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Mount Mitchell, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and The Orchard at Altapass all while relaxing on the large back deck. Listen to the “quiet of nature” with the birds singing, hummingbirds buzzing, deer crunching through the woods, a train whistle in the distance, and the gentle sound of a mountain breeze!
