Pwr/Wtr/Internet! Majestic View. Unique Artist Cabin. 2 King Suites

Conley House has majestic, long-range views of Mt Mitchell that just can’t be fully captured in photos.

On 6 private acres with almost no other houses in sight, you’ll enjoy mostly Christmas trees for neighbors. Plus, with two spacious king suites, gourmet kitchen, smart features, fast fiber optic internet, gas log stove, jetted tub, and only 8 miles to supplies & just minutes to Penland School of Crafts, you’ll love your stay too! The 3rd bedroom/office, located above the detached artist's studio, is great for those wanting extra privacy.

The cabin is about equal distance from Spruce Pine, Burnsville and Bakersville, NC.

All of Conley House’s pictures were taken by the owners using their iPhones, so you know it’s the real thing.

ABOUT THE CABIN
Conley House was originally 2 cabins with a courtyard in between. The owner, Bill Brown Sr., later turn the cabins into 2 suites with an open floor plan living space between for him and his family. Bill Brown was director of Penland School after Lucy Morgan, the founder, retired. Railings and many other details are original to the home. The kitchen was made by well known woodworker, Doug Sigler. The cabin is filled with natural light in every room with each door framing the view. The home was designed to be passive solar, so it is not uncommon to be able to leave the doors open on warmer days in winter. The abundance of light makes the home a cheery place that is very relaxing. We have filled the house with commissioned and original artwork that we have collected over the years. We hope it inspires you!

Note: There is an artist studio with an office above it which sits adjacent to the cabin. It is not included in the rental.

VISITING IN THE OFF-SEASON
Views in winter are amazing! Hiking the Roan or to waterfalls can be spectacular with almost no one else on the trail. However, in winter (usually mid-December through February or mid-March) some businesses keep different hours or even close, while others do creative things like popup restaurants and special winter openings. If you are concerned about what might be available please ask us. We'd be happy to assist you in deciding if visiting in the off-season would be a good fit.

CHILDREN:
Children are welcome. The house is a home - not a museum, so it can be a great place for families. We ask that parents be attentive, putting objects out of reach that may cause a problem or be damaged, putting delicate items or cords out of reach. Pack n’ Play with sheets, high chair, sippy kid friendly cups, plates, bowls and cutlery are available to guests.
_____
ADA: Though NOT ADA COMPLIANT, the house is accessible for a number of those who have mobility issues. The main house is all on one level and is flat from the gravel driveway/parking area into the backdoor. The doorways are at least 32” wide. Transitions between rooms are typically 1-2 inches on average. The transition out to the natural stone terrace is a little over 2-3 inches. The master bath has a walk-in shower that has no door and about a 2" lip/transition. The bathtub is separate. NOTE: there are no handrails in the showers, bathtub or toilet area. The master suite is spacious enough for additional equipment if it is required in the room during the stay. The other master suite’s bath would not be accessible due to proximity of the bed to the bathroom door and size of the bath. Please talk with us if you have particular concerns. Every person's situation is different.

Pwr/Wtr/Internet! Majestic View. Unique Artist Cabin. 2 King Suites offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.
