Amazing Views from the Continental Divide Retreat on the Blue Ridge Parkway
About this house rental
OUR GUESTS SAY IT BEST! We loved this home in the mountains of NC so much I am hesitant to leave this review because it will be completely booked up once the secret is out. Perfect tranquil getaway. View is great and the house was beautiful. Quiet mornings and evenings looking over the foggy valley made this a great retreat for us. Brandon November 23 "Two words.... the view!" Katie, Apr 2021 WOW! Best VRBO yet! We definitely want to stay here again! Clean, beautiful, functional. Hosts were amazing! No one will be disappointed here. Lovely area. We saw deer on our walks. "Do not hesitate! This was a perfect, easy to access- mountain home, with a million dollar view." Carey, Nov 2021 Best vacation rental I've ever booked. House has phenomenal views from the back porch; it's nicely decorated and well equipped; was exceptionally clean. It's off the beaten path in a quiet area, but conveniently located to grocery stores." Bruce, Oct 2021 "It was very comfortable for our family gathering of 10 persons with enough space to have private time when needed." Paula, June 2021 "Best ever! It was an unbelievable stay." Dorothy, July 2021 "The pictures don’t do justice, we will absolutely come back and stay here, very spacious and the downstairs area was great for my son and his friends" Elina, Mar 2021 "Amazing home, location is great home was spotless, the home had everything our group of 8 needed for a weekend trip to the mountains." Cameron, Feb 2021 "Close to town. House is beautiful and very clean! Great quiet get away for the New Year." Jessica, Jan 2021 "Magnificent views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. "Millon-dollar view" is putting it lightly. Home is beautifully decorated... We saw many a deer in the woods as we went upward. A mountain retreat but you have a Wal-Mart very close by for any last minute needs... Much to do all within a half hour ride... This home is as good or BETTER than advertised. Very comfortable, room to spread out if you have a family, good driveway to park on. A+ all around." Lawrence, Oct 2020 "Upon pulling into the driveway we knew our stay would be wonderful." Sara, Oct 2020 "A great weekend get away, breath taking views, a very clean and spacious home." Jim, Sept 2020 "Pictures do not do this place justice... Great floor plan for people to gather or disperse as they desire...Typically don’t do the same place twice, but would likely if we go back to the area." Donna, June 2020 "Excellent location, clean, big, everything was perfect. Fast communication with host - we will be back!". Rob, February, 2020 This is only a small sample of what our guests say about our home. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You can watch the sunset over the mountains or a rainbow hovering over the valley's mist. Enjoy the mountain laurel in the spring, the cool, refreshing summers, and the incredible fall colors. The home comfortably sleeps up to 10 adults with ample space for dining and games. Minutes away, you can enjoy downtown Spruce Pine, Little Switzerland, gem mining, horseback riding, craft studios, mountain music, unique restaurants, and hiking. Our home is an excellent location for exploring what Western NC has to offer. Grandfather Mountain, Asheville, Linville Gorge, Roan Mountain, Wolf Ridge Ski Resort, Tubing, White Water Rafting, Linville Caverns, Golf, Skiing, Zip Lining, hiking, and so much more is all within an hour's drive.

This home is everything you could possibly dream of! From the moment you see the home for the first time , you will never want to leave. It has breathtaking views of the mountains, beautiful decorated, and every amenity has been carefully thought of. No words can possibly describe this mountain retreat. Just book it! The host Lila and the owner Dave are the absolute best! My family will definitely be back! Memories of this trip will never be forgotten!

The place is just as pictured, clean and comfortable! Loved eating meals in the breakfast nook with an amazing view of the mountains! We hiked Grandfather Mountain nearby (30-45 min. Drive) which we highly recommend! You have to visit the local coffee shop (The Fox and the Fig) for a great brunch and wonderful coffee!

The house was perfect, clean and very cozy. The view was fantastic , everything we needed was supplied. The area, Spruce Pines is a very friendly community, many places to visit and eat. My group rides motorcycles, we had a great time highly recommended, roads and trails were made for motorcycles and best of all we had a garage to keep them in. Loved the house ..

Our granddaughter wanted to celebrate her 9th birthday in the mountains and go snow tubing. The home was perfect for a family getaway. The hosts have thought of everything. The mountain view from the home are spectacular! The fireplace was cozy and everyone was comfortable. The tubing at Jonas Ridge was so much fun that the grandkids with their parents went a second time! We all want to come back and enjoy the home during a warmer season when we could take advantage of the wonderful porch with panoramic mountain view!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Continental Divide Retreat. It was very comfortable for our family gathering of 10 persons with enough space to have private time when needed. The property was well-cared for, tastefully decorated, and had a fabulous view from the back porch. We had the opportunity to see one sunset from the deck and it was breathtaking. We have stayed in rental properties throughout the world, and this is the best property we have rented. We would love to come back someday!

Wonderful house with wonderful view
What a wonderful location and property! Lila was a pleasure to work with on arrangements and responded quickly to our one issue. The house is fabulous. Beautifully decorated, very comfortable beds - even the murphy bed downstairs, lots of towels. Kitchen was a pleasure to work in - so well equipped with pots, pans, hot pads etc.. AC and water all worked great. Love all the lighting options. Thanks for the local history books too! And you can't beat the back deck with it views of the valley and mountains beyond - gorgeous sunsets! Thoroughly enjoyed meals in Spruce Pine. The mountain biker in our group got a great workout!

Spring Break March 2021
Let’s just start with the views are amazing !
The house is so nice and cozy. The beds are very comfortable with plenty of linens and extra covers. It was a little cold at the beginning of our trip. As other reviewers have noted, the winds can whip up the side of the mountain and howl. The house didn’t budge. If it weren’t for the trees swaying you would not know it was windy.
There are tons of puzzles. We worked on one for a few days. Wifi was strong which is good since some of our cell signal drops - we use Verizon. Others may have better service. There are a few spots driving down the mountain to town where you lose service for a bit.
We loved watching all the birds come tot he feeder every morning. Our favorite was catching the sunsets at night - just beautiful.
If you are planning to visit different hikes all throughout the mountains, just plan accordingly for drive time. Some of the Blue Ridge Parkway was still closed during our visit which meant we had to drive mountain roads to get to many places adding extra drive time. The scenery is beautiful so it was an adventure in itself.
We had our children ages 18-14 and mother in law staying with us. The house accommodated is all nicely. I highly recommend the tub in the master after a long day of hiking. We would totally stay here again. Thanks Dave for sharing your home with us!!

Beautiful property and view.
We had a wonderful week at the Continental Divide with four adults! The house is so comfortable and well appointed, with plenty of kitchenware, linen etc. More than enough for a big group. Plenty of spices, cleaning supplies, paper towels etc. too, which is a very nice touch. And as icing on the cake, the house was truly spotless! My husband and I have stayed at dozens of rental properties over the years, but none was as clean as this one. Kudos to the cleaning crew! The covered deck is huge and in the first few days we spent quite a bit of time there, enjoying the warm days and very mild evenings. The view is absolutely stunning, changing constantly with sun and clouds and fog rolling in and out. We spent many hours sitting in the breakfast nook, which offered a great view of the mountains. We had every possible kind of weather you could imagine, from dense fog, to bright sunny days, to howling, hurricane force winds, and freezing temperatures! Especially the last few days and night were very windy. We figured it's because the house is so high up on a ridge, forcing the wind upward. Down in the valley the wind was always much less. The last two lanes leading up to the house are very narrow and fairly steep. Quite tricky when you encounter another car. We drove a minivan and had no trouble at all, but I'd hate to drive those roads in snowy/icy conditions. The area is gorgeous, being so close to the Blueridge Parkway. We missed the peak of fall colors by a week or so, I estimate, but it was still very beautiful with plenty of color and gorgeous scenery. This house will be on our short list of properties to revisit in the future.

Second Visit Was Great Too!
We are repeat renters and because of what this property offers we plan to return again and again! This home has several features that makes it stand out from other rentals. It's location is perfect for spending time on the Blue Ridge Parkway, wanting to experience the peace and quite of the mountains, and giving you a million dollar view with glorious sunsets. It also offers lots of space for a family to spread out yet provides good spots for "together-time". What also makes this property stand out from others is the manager, Lila. Because of the pandemic, we had a few "special requests" and she took extra efforts to make sure our stay would be safe and a 5-Star experience. The cleaner also gets a 5-Star rating for making the house spotless and well disinfected (in the bathrooms you could detect a slight scent of bleach). So, if your looking for a safe rental, this home works very well. Even the Walmart that's only 5 minutes away will deliver groceries to this location for a small fee.
