Welcome to "The Blessing at Cub Tower". If you are craving quality time away with friends or family in a gorgeous mountain setting, this is the spot for you! This recently renovated mountain lodge is in a picturesque setting nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains tucked under the majestic peaks of Mt. Mitchell State Park. This house will accommodate 12 guests with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The primary bedroom has a king bed, while one of the other two bedrooms has a queen/double combo and the third bedroom is furnished with a queen bed. Two of the bedrooms offer amazing views with full length sliding glass doors that allow you to stay in bed and still enjoy nature at its best. In addition, there are two other sleeping spaces. There is a double bed in an alcove area, and there is a daybed in the downstairs common area that converts to a double bed. Families or couples can have privacy if desired or can congregate in spacious living areas on both floors. Both levels feature a full glass front opening up to full length decks affording some of the most beautiful views in all of the Blue Ridge Mountains while rocking or swinging. Whether grabbing a bite to eat around the granite countertop island, sitting down to a great meal at the 9 foot hand crafted live edge black walnut table or lounging on the leather couches and recliners in front of the fireplace which boasts of a 25' stone wall, the upper level offers many great spaces to enjoy. Downstairs you can catch a movie or ballgame in the home theater area with reclining seats in front of the 85" Sony screen, gather around a beautiful pine table for games/puzzles or grab a drink from the beverage cooler before relaxing to read or nap in one of the several comfortable chairs. The rapids of the South Toe River can be heard from the decks and afford some of the best trout fishing in the North Carolina Mountains. There are many great hiking trails, some of which go to beautiful waterfalls, within minutes. The Blue Ridge Parkway is 5 minutes away and offers one of the most scenic rides in the North Carolina mountains, along with sightseeing and recreation. The quaint towns of Burnsville (18 miles) and Spruce Pine (22 miles) are located less than 30 minutes away and offer shopping, dining, and local craft stores. For other options, take a day trip to one of the following popular destinations, mileage in parentheses: Little Switzerland (16), The Orchard at Altapass (27), Black Mountain (33), Linville Falls (35), Wolf Ridge Ski Resort (38), Grandfather Mountain (47), Sugar Mountain Ski Resort (48), Asheville (48), Boone (60).
