****NOT A PET FRIENDLY PROPERTY****

Welcome to Barnview Cottage! Located within Pisgah National Forest, and a quick 5-minute drive from historic downtown Burnsville, Barnview Cottage is nestled into the foot of Beebranch Mountain overlooking the lovely pastoral valley known as Johnson Cove. The 4-acre property includes private Bolen Creek frontage, a white pine forest, and seasonal native rhododendron and wildflowers. Views from the cottage include mature trees with distant mountains peeking through and a picturesque family farm with barn, pastures, and pond.

This charming well-appointed 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom cottage is perfect for a family vacation, a weekend with friends, a romantic getaway, or an individual retreat. Enjoy the mountain breeze as you rock on the porch with your morning coffee or dine al fresco at sunset. Listen to the distant lowing of cows, watch the day’s activities on the farm, and look out for the occasional visit from wild turkeys and deer. Select a good book or record from the cottage library while you enjoy the wood-burning stove, fire pit, or swing in one of the hammocks. Work remotely or just escape the family in the serene Writer’s Roost, a stylish, comfy retreat with desk, wifi, and leafy views. Explore historic downtown Burnsville, which offers excellent festivals, art galleries, shopping, restaurants, cafes, and a popular local brewery great for live music and people-watching.

Barnview Cottage is near a number of great hikes and waterfalls, such as Crabtree Falls, Roaring Fork Falls, and the Bolen Creek Trailhead, the entry point for the Black Mountain Crest Trail, a rigorous 12-mile hike to the top of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the Eastern U.S. It’s a scenic 20-minute drive to Carolina Hemlock Recreation Area where you can swim in the South Toe River, hike, and, if you’re lucky, spot a black bear. A quick half-hour drive to Mars Hill, Little Switzerland, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, equidistant to Mount Mitchell State Park, Asheville, Grandfather State Park, Sugar Mountain, Linville Gorge, and Roan Mountain State Park, Barnview Cottage is an excellent home base for exploring everything the NC Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer.
