Welcome to Valle Crucis Overlook!
Valle Crucis Overlook is a beautiful 3BR cabin, built in 2010, in a tranquil neighborhood and centrally located within a short drive of Valle Crucis, Boone, Sugar Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, or Banner Elk. The house has an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and high windows in the main living area. The living room has exposed timbers, a stacked stone fireplace with gas logs for cozy winter days, and a 60-inch mounted flat-screen TV.
The spacious back deck has tremendous views from the Boone area to Tennessee, a gas grill, a pub-style dining table, and two rustic rocking chairs. The front of the home has a covered front porch with swing, two rustic rocking chairs, and a large flagstone patio with an eleven-foot stacked stone fireplace. The patio has a large dining table and chairs. Build a fire and roast marshmallows, enjoy your favorite music on the outdoor speakers, or relax and spend time with your family and friends - this is the perfect spot!
The view from the back deck looks out over Valle Crucis across the Boone area to the Rich Mountain Range, which begins with Howards Knob in Boone and runs northwest into Tennessee. In summer, this view is rich and verdant, and the peaks are often snow-covered in winter.
The living room has two beautiful leather sofas and a comfortable recliner. The living room opens to the dining and kitchen areas, with a half bath in the main hall. The delightful kitchen has granite countertops and stainless appliances. Thoughtfully stocked by the owners, the kitchen is ready for almost any conceivable cooking activity by guests. The living room looks out to the covered front porch, the outdoor fireplace, and the patio with a swing for lazy days in summer. The location is private near the end of a non-thru street.
The master suite has a beautiful view, is on the main floor, and has a king bed and a flat-screen TV. The master bath has double sinks, granite counters, and a slate tile shower. You access the cozy loft by stairs in the living room. The queen bedroom upstairs has a TV. The third bedroom has twin-over-double bunk beds, a flat-screen television with a DVD player, and Xbox Kinect. The upstairs bedrooms share a full bathroom with a combination tub/shower.

The home has central forced air conditioning for those rare days when A/C is needed here in the mountains, a washer and dryer on the main level, and many other touches provided by the owners for your comfort.
