Welcome to Broadstone Cottage!
Nestled in the heart of Valle Crucis, this historic 3-bedroom cottage invites you to step back in time while still enjoying modern comforts. Just a short stroll from the Mast General Store Annex, Valle Crucis Park, and the peaceful Watauga River, it’s a perfect spot for nature lovers and history buffs alike.
Two bedrooms are located on the main level - one with a queen bed, the other with a twin—and share a full bathroom. After a day exploring the High Country, unwind in the cozy living room by the gas fireplace. The sofa converts to a queen bed, offering additional sleeping space for two. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals at home and includes both a Keurig and drip coffee maker.
Upstairs, you’ll find a third bedroom with a king bed tucked beneath the sloped ceiling, along with another bathroom just down the hall.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered back porch with a view of the surrounding hills or relax by the fire on a cool mountain evening. Broadstone Cottage is an ideal retreat for families or friends seeking a peaceful getaway in one of North Carolina’s most beloved mountain communities.
