TRANQUIL IMMERSION: Immerse yourself in the historic beauty of one of the most stunningly romantic areas of Western North Carolina in this well-appointed, one-of-kind home with all the amenities. This newer, mountain-style home is nestled in the lush valley of Valle Crucis, an historic rural farming community laced with gurgling streams and foliage found only in this part of the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains.

This remarkable home is great for entertaining whether in the vaulted great room, grilling on the large back deck surrounded by pine, fern and rhododendron, or sitting on the front porch swing taking in the same incredible view enjoyed by the settlers who founded this valley centuries ago.

Sweet Fern Hollow is just 10 minutes from upscale restaurants, shopping and entertainment in Boone. And more restaurants and shopping of all types can be found a short drive to nearby Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock. It is also less than a mile from local restaurants, parks, horseback riding trails, hiking and biking trails and such historic landmarks as the Mast General Store. Just across the street is the Watauga River, touted as one of the best fly-fishing streams in the South.

The experience begins as one crosses the low-bridge over the Watauga River. From the car, one may peer over the edge to see trout waiting to be caught (and hopefully released). This bridge is a favorite put-in for anglers, and for folks out tubing, canoeing, and wading as well.

Upon arrival, take the time to savor the sweet view from the front deck, entirely entwined with wisteria creating a sense of real privacy. Note the porch swing is under the covered section of the deck to enjoy a soft mountain shower, or terrific thunderstorm, should one arise.

Sweet Fern Hollow exudes aesthetics and tranquility. When one enters the home, there is an overwhelming feeling of enchantment with mountain charm in each and every accessory. The great room with its hardwood floors, soaring cathedral ceiling, wood-burning stone fireplace, and tasteful décor, all make for a wonderful welcome, and gives one a sense of well-being, knowing this will be the perfect vacation.

Peaceful and quiet, the master suite features a king bed and opens onto the back deck where one may wake to see deer feeding in the hollow, or gaze through the windows overlooking the front deck with its magnificent view making this one of the best places to awaken in the High Country.

And during the winter months ... Three ski resorts are within a 20 to 30 min. drive. Cross country skiing is another choice if conditions are right, and snow tubing is an option for the non-skier at some nearby ski resorts. And at the end of your snow-filled day, come "home" to a relaxing fire.

Sweet Fern Hollow is situated on two, wooded acres and has everything wanted in a vacation home: a great view, privacy, convenient and exclusive location, exceptional décor, tranquility and ambience. A vacation home you will return to again and again.

Sweet Fern Hollow . . . in the heart of Valle Crucis.
