Stay and Play @ Railway Rest, near AVL, trails, falls

Old Fort, North Carolina, United States

A mile from Old Fort’s breweries, winery and restaurants. Minutes to I-40 and Black Mountain. Asheville, The Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, Chimney Rock and Biltmore House are a short drive. Hike and bike the trails in Pisgah National Forest, fish for trout in nearby Mill Creek. Watch wild turkeys or a train headed up the mountain. Perfect for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids). brbrThe cottage is cozy and quaint, offering a quiet relaxing stay. Stocked breakfast items are included - eggs, coffee, tea and homemade bread - all local, of course! Far enough away from the noise in town, but so convenient to all the area offers. It has everything you need to enjoy a little R&R. Get outside! Play Frisbee or Badminton in the yard or the large field beside the house. Sit by the fire pit and enjoy the evening. If you prefer, curl up with a book or magazine or pick a game available for a variety of ages. WiFi and TV streaming available. Combined living and dining area, FULLY equipped kitchen as well as full-sized laundry facilities. Larger bedroom features a small dresser, closet and a queen-sized bed with a memory foam topper. A double bed, dresser, and closet make up the smaller bedroom.brbrThe NeighborhoodbrbrRailway Rest is located just outside the town limits in a quiet and peaceful setting. A vacant field and forested area are adjacent and to the rear of the property allowing guests privacy. Listen to the sound of Mill Creek across the street and enjoy fishing from its banks in town.brbrHillman Beer, about a mile from our home has great food and beverages! Whaley Farm Brewing is too and offers craft beer, Abiocco Pizza on site as well as a small farm store with locally grown and/or made items!brbrGetting AroundbrbrYour personal vehicle or bicycle is needed for travel to and from town, or possibly to Black Mountain for the more adventurous cyclist - think Point Lookout Trail! The closest airport is Asheville Regional, approximately 45 minutes. Greenville/Spartanburg or Charlotte are alternates and are approximately 1.5 and 2 hours away, respectively.brbrIf your dates here are booked, check out our new in-town tiny home - Mary Ida's Place - 3094419.

Near Asheville, near the stars, nearly perfect! Almost Heaven. 3000 ft.

Old Fort, North Carolina, United States

If you have any questions just hit the 'Send email' button to the right. We will be happy to ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. WE ARE REPUTABLE OWNERS WITH DOZENS OF 5 STAR REVIEWS (Please read our reviews!) OFFERING YOU THE BEST SERVICE AND VALUE. brbrWe named our mountain home “Almost Heaven” because when we are there, that is exactly what it feels like to us. At 3,000 feet in elevation, we are close to the stars at night, to the clouds by day and we are witness to gorgeous sunrises and sunsets all year long. When the summer heat is burning up the low lands we have fresh, cool breezes and even sweater weather in the evenings. We look out 40 miles to Mt. Mitchell in the north, ten mountain ranges to where the sun sets in the west and 60 miles to a flat line in the south. We are surrounded by nature, astronomy and meteorology, yet we are a short 35 minute drive to Biltmore House and the excellent restaurants of downtown Asheville, and 20 minutes from Black Mountain and its quaint shops, restaurants, and gigantic grocery stores. We hear the wind in the leaves and catch the sweet smell of Rhododendron and Mountain Laurel in the springtime; we pick wild blackberries in the summer and listen to songbirds all day. We frequently encounter deer, wild turkey and even bobcats, yet we live in a modern, luxurious home with a gourmet kitchen, satellite TV, instant hot water, wonderful beds and mattresses, and windows everywhere to frame the beauty that is all around us. Our home is built for both togetherness and privacy: the family room has a monumental stone fireplace surrounded by leather sofas, the covered side porch serves as an outdoor dining area, the basement offers ping-pong and Foosball tables and three-quarters of the home is surrounded by decks and rockers – while every one of the four bedrooms has its own private porch for personal conversation or quiet reading time away from the larger group. It is the best of all worlds: natural, yet very civilized; remote yet convenient; private yet communal. It is Almost Heaven. We would love to share it with you!brbrKeywords: House, beauty, 3000 ft, views, Mt. Mitchell, sunsets, vistas, waterfall, Easy drive to Asheville and Lake Lure. Private, modern, luxury.

If you go a bit further you'll stumble upon Lake George, where you can enjoy the covered dock with a nice view of the lake and the Gateway ridges. Many hiking/walking loops mapped out in the Cabin's information book. brbrOur first level is open concept with cathedral ceilings that will give you the true log cabin experience. Island counter top and large hand crafted dining room table provide plenty of room to prepare food and gather with family and friends. Living area with smart 50 TV.

The Gateway Trails off Curtis Creek in Old Fort have multi-use trails for all skill levels.brbrQuickest route to the Blue Ridge Parkway is taking 80 just outside of Marion. Once on the parkway go NE towards Little Switzerland, Altapass, and Linville Falls. Or go SW towards Mount Mitchell State Park, Craggy Gardens, and get off in Asheville right by the NC Arboretum! The views on the parkway are best on clear days when the peaks are not covered by clouds, take the time to just cruise and stop at all the lookout points.brbrThere are many hikes that are kid friendly as well. Some of our kids favorite are Toms Creek Falls, Bearwallow Mountain, and Lake Tomahawk.brOther places to check out with kids is the WNC Nature Center, Robert Lake Park, Hickory Nut Gap, and our favorite for adults and kids is Whistle Hop Brewery!brbrI could go on and on about places to check out! (There is a drawer full of pamphlets and information in the table behind the couch.) We are at a central location for any outdoor enthusiasts! There is so much to check out around the cabin that you will have to come again to see all that the area has to offer! (Plus, don't forget to check out the trails that are right within the Gateway Community!) brbrWe hope you feel at home at our favorite place!br

The wrap-around deck (complete with an outdoor dining table for 4 and a Weber grill) and natural rock platform create no shortage of cozy spots to stargaze and take in the breathtaking long-range views of Mt. Mitchell and Lake George. Various seating can also be found along the short private walking paths around the chalet.brbrOn the main level, you'll find all-new natural acacia hardwood flooring, an upscale living room complete with designer Restoration Hardware furniture, stunning views from every window, and a well-equipped kitchen complete with all-new stainless steel appliances, a range with an air fryer option, and a coffee bar area sweetly beckoning to the chef in your group.

The full bathroom, complete with a new glass-enclosed waterfall shower, toilet with heated seat and bidet, and luxurious heated floors, can be accessed from the hallway.brbrUpstairs is a traditional open loft with a dedicated workspace, reading nook, and two mammoth LoveSac bean bags to immerse in the year-round views of the mountain vista through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Here, you'll find a projector with a 120 screen, elevated recliners, and a cozy daybed with a Twin bed and Twin trundle that will make your favorite family movie come to life. Step outside onto the hot tub entertainment area under bistro-style lighting after a day of exploring, lounge in the Adirondack glider chairs around the newly-added outdoor fire table, prepare a delicious pizza in the new gas-powered Ooni Koda 16 pizza oven, lounge in the suspended hammock overlooking the mountains, or wander through the magical fairy gardens around the property. Not ready to turn in for the night The shuffleboard table and Hook Ring Toss may inspire some friendly competition.brbrA stunning and modern mountain getaway that would seem too other-worldly to imagine, A Celestial Chalet leaves no mountain peak unseen and no star unnamed!brbrPlease note: This house is dog-friendly, with a $100.00 non-refundable fee per dog (maximum of two).
