Description
Long-range mountain views, classic log cabin charm, and a proven vacation rental history come together in this beautifully situated 2-bedroom, 3-bath cabin in the gated community of Spice Branch at Grandfather. Lovingly owned and well cared for, this mountain retreat has been thoughtfully maintained while also serving as a successful vacation rental. Centrally located in the heart of the High Country, the property enjoys an incredible view toward Hawksnest Mountain and is offered fully furnished and ready to enjoy. A covered front porch and attractive landscaping welcome you inside, where the main level opens to a spacious great room with vaulted ceilings and a striking stone gas fireplace. The large kitchen features granite countertops, generous workspace, and an eat-at bar, while the adjoining dining area and open floor plan provide plenty of room for gathering and entertaining. A full bath with laundry completes the main level. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a full bath. The finished lower level provides additional flexible living and sleeping space with a cozy den anchored by a second stone fireplace, bunk area, and another full bath-an ideal setup for accommodating additional guests. Currently managed by Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals, the cabin has an established vacation rental history and is offered fully furnished for a convenient transition to its next owner. With an active rental schedule, select dates have been blocked specifically to accommodate showings. Additional improvements include a metal roof installed in 2019 and central heating and air added in 2012. The lower level was finished in 2012 without a permit (506 sq ft), however all work was completed by a licensed general contractor at the time. Cabin was originally permitted for 3 bedrooms however a 2 bedroom system was installed. Expansion could be relatively simple. Whether you're searching for a mountain getaway, vacation rental investment, or a place to enjoy the High Country year-round, this cabin offers an appealing combination of gated access, spectacular long-range views, flexible living space, and a central location convenient to the area's many attractions.
