Quiet House in Laurel Park
Hendersonville, Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, USA (40 minutes to Asheville - 10 minutes to Flat Rock)
Home, 2 Bedrooms + queen sleeper sofa, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
We have been
hosting our friends and family here for twenty years. Now you can
stay here too! You will enjoy sitting in front of the fireplace or on
the deck with a glass of wine after a nice dinner. The house has two
bedrooms, each with a full bathroom. The dining room seats six
comfortably. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the other has twin
beds. A sleeper sofa in the living room enables sleeping
accommodations for up to six people. The full kitchen has natural
cabinets, a gas stove, and granite counter tops.
Folks used to
take the train to Hendersonville and then ride the "dummy"
to Rainbow Lake. From there they rode the "Swiss Cog Railway"
up our mountain for the expansive view looking down on Hendersonville
and out to Bearwallow Mountain. Some of them built houses here and
started the small resort town of Laurel Park. You can stay here too
and enjoy the same view as you take a walk on the quiet (almost
level) loop where the house is located. You can also go to the top of
the mountain for a spectacular view from Jump Off Rock and perhaps
stop along the way to eat at Poplar Lodge.
For nearby shopping
and dining, downtown Hendersonville is less than five minutes
away. The Sandburg House and Flat Rock Playhouse are in Flat Rock,
just ten minutes away. You are forty minutes away from Asheville,
where you can visit the Biltmore House, eat in world-class
restaurants, and shop in art galleries. For sightseeing there’s
the duPont State Forest with High Falls, Triple Falls, Bridal Veil
Falls, and Hooker Falls. The Blue Ridge Parkway is easily accessible.
You can plan a great day trip to include trout with your breakfast
eggs at Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
