In the morning, bundle up in your coziest sweater to sip your coffee and watch the sunrise over the towering mountain peaks before enjoying a woodland stroll around the property. After that, take a mid-morning nap (you are on vacation after all), or get ready for a full day of adventure. Summit Sunsets is the perfect jumping-off spot to explore everything the area has to offer while taking advantage of the privacy of a mountain cabin in the woods.
The home is located about 35 minutes from Lake James State Park where you can spend the day boating and sunbathing on the beautiful mountain "beach" or exploring the mossy, forested ridges and rocky peaks dotted with the vibrant wildflowers and wildlife that characterize Linville Gorge Wilderness, and it's also just 35 minutes from the quaint towns of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock which are home to the Mountain Beach & Water Park, Flowering Bridge, and Chimney Rock State Park.
For even more options, take another quick 25-30 drive to reach the charming towns of Black Mountain and Marion. Spend your day exploring downtown Marion before enjoying some nightlife at Mica Town Brewing Company and Spillway Bridge & Co., or head over to the "Front Porch of Western North Carolina," Black Mountain, which boasts 2 local breweries (Lookout Brewing and Black Mountain Brewing) along with more shops, art galleries, parks, and incredible restaurants like My Father's Pizza, Louise's Kitchen, and Que Sera. No trip to the mountains of Western North Carolina is complete without experiencing the "Paris of the South," Asheville, which is located just under 50 minutes away. While there, be sure to check out the hip and ever-eccentric River Arts District, Mast General Store, North Carolina Arboretum, and America's Largest Home, the Biltmore Estate. Asheville is also home to a large number of award-winning restaurants and breweries that you can sample between activities.
After a full day of fun, return home to relax and read a book on the sun porch, or on those inevitably stormy days, settle in on the screened porch to listen to the sound of rain on the roof with a glass of wine. In the evening, craft a delicious meal using the gas grill before dining al fresco to take in the gorgeous mountain views. After dinner, gather around the gas log fireplace to stream your favorite movie before heading outside to roast marshmallows around the fire pit and enjoy the clear and star-filled skies overhead.
Centrally located among the most popular destinations the area has to offer, this private mountain cabin is the perfect place to escape and explore with the ones you love, and as the name Summit Sunsets suggests, you will feel like you've hit the peak of leisure!

Greybeard homes are located near Pisgah National Forest. Ladybugs and Kudzu Beetles may be seen in our area in the fall and winter months, and it is not uncommon for them to find their way into homes to escape the cooler weather from time to time. They are not poisonous and cannot be exterminated.
