Family and friends gather together at “Thee Gathering Place.” This home away from home has the warmth and love for everyone to enjoy the peace and quiet of a mountain get-away. The log home is nestled on the back roads of beautiful Ashe County, yet it is year around accessible. There is a lot of room for walking, hiking, bike riding, or four-wheeling. Enjoy rocking and swinging on the front porch…enjoy cooking out on the back deck, overlooking the rim of the Blue Ridge, all while enjoying all the sounds of the birds, crickets, even a wild turkey, or deer stopping by to graze in the yard.

On cold nights enjoy the warmth of the gas logs from the stone fireplace, while watching direct TV, surfing the internet on your lap top, or just talking to a family member back home on the unlimited long distance. (No international calls please.)

The full-size kitchen is equipped with all the necessities of home for cooking including: paper products, cookware, an original chopping block, and more…Everything needed for preparing home cooked meals or just a simple cup of coffee.

The bedroom on the first level has a queen size bed, a TV with DVD player for playing movies, easy accessible full-bathroom, and a private door that leads out onto deck for watching the stars and moon at night or to listen to the sounds of the mountain breezes.

Two bedrooms are located on second level - one bedroom has a queen bed, one has a double bed. Each bedroom has a telephone and a full-size closet. A full bathroom is located on the second level.

The lower basement level is a private get-a-way complete with a large bedroom with queen size bed, full bath with stand-up shower, and sitting area-game room, which has a fuse ball table, card/gaming table and TV with DVD player. A futon is located in the game room and can be used as an additional bed.

Off from the game room is the washer and dryer area with detergents available to washout those unexpected dirty clothes. In the basement storage closet, a highchair and crib are available for the little one.

Throughout all levels of the home, nostalgic memorabilia and retro décor accents the rooms.
