1135 Hepner Road: Bluestone Court

Bluestone Court is a well-appointed private mountain retreat on 2+ wooded acres at the base of Supinlick Ridge. While cozy and inviting inside, this property exemplifies outdoor living featuring a private swimming pool and sunbathing deck, hot tub, fire pit area, and covered outdoor living room complete with gas grill, flattop grill, sectional sofa, fire table and TV. A wide driveway and parking area easily accommodates four vehicles. Although this cabin is in a remote location, it’s only 4.5 miles into the town of Basye with comforts such as Smiley’s Ice Cream, Burn Barrel tavern, Pale Fire Brewing, and the Community Store (gas pumps). For those seeking year-round outdoor activities and additional dining, Bryce Resort is just 1.5 miles beyond Basye. Please review the listing photos carefully. Many features of this traditional mountain cabin have been updated with modern amenities, but it retains a classy rustic charm. With two separate private living levels and huge outdoor entertaining area, it’s a perfect location for families and groups that desire private outdoor relaxation! FEATURES & AMENITIES: Access Bluestone Court’s main level up 13 steps to the upper side deck. Enter into the great room with vaulted ceilings featuring an open kitchen with island, a dining area, and a living room with a stone wood-burning fireplace, large ceiling fan, and Smart TV above the mantle. The kitchen has ample counter space, custom cabinets, a beautiful hammered-copper farm-style sink, stainless steel appliances, basic cookware, tableware, and a basket-style drip coffee maker (filters provided, but please bring your favorite grind). The dining area seats six at the table and another three at the kitchen bar. Rounding out the main floor, guests will enjoy the large primary bedroom with king bed, a second bedroom with queen bed, a den with trundle bed, and a full bathroom with walk-in custom tile shower. The hallway closet contains a full size laundry center. The main level sleeps six comfortably.

This relaxing space features a comfy sectional sofa, large Smart TV, shuffleboard table, stand-up Ms. Pac-Man arcade game, and a kitchenette with microwave, air fryer, mini-fridge, and drip coffee maker (filters provided, but please bring your favorite grind). The living area opens to the spacious covered, open-air outdoor living room via sliding glass door. Down the short hallway are two bedrooms, both with queen beds, and a full bathroom. The lower level sleeps four comfortably. This property’s grand, private outdoor living spaces makes it truly unique! Situated at the back of the house, opposite the road and surrounded by forest, the huge, covered outdoor living room features a large sectional sofa, fire table, Smart TV, outdoor dining for six, two ceiling fans, a gas grill, a gas Blackstone flattop grill, and a large cooler for your favorite beverages.
