Welcome to The Wydown House! This quaint cabin in the historic Valle Crucis community, the heart of the High Country, is conveniently situated between Boone and Banner Elk. Located just two minutes from the historic Mast General store and the Valle Crucis Community Park, with multiple playgrounds, basketball courts, soccer fields, walking trails, and access to the Watauga River to enjoy fishing, swimming, and floating.

The Wydown House offers one-level living with mountain views and an abundance of natural sunlight. Enter the cabin through the mud room, allows for a convenient place to hang coats, and keep shoes and adventure gear. The living room features comfortable furniture to sit back and enjoy the stacked stone gas fireplace and big screen TV. The well equipped kitchen includes updated appliances, a coffee bar and a nook with a kitchen table. The pass through window from the kitchen makes it easy to bring the dining room and kitchen together.

A large sunroom with a foosball table and huge sliding glass doors lets in the sun and leads out to the expansive deck with mountain views and plenty of outdoor seating. The sunroom is accessed via the main living area or the master bedroom. In the master bedroom, guests will enjoy a spacious room with a king bed, tv, and private bathroom. A second king bedroom has a tv and private bathroom, the third bedroom has a queen bed. A semi-private sitting room has a gas fireplace and comfortable sofa that converts to a king bed for flexible sleeping arrangements.

The Wydown House is flanked by a gently sloping yard and is perched perfectly to enjoy rolling mountain views from the back. Two dogs are welcome with a reservation for an additional pet fee. Heating and cooling is offered via mini-splits for year round comfort, with two bedrooms also having baseboard heat. Winter travelers should be prepared with 4WD or AWD vehicles. The road leading to the home is a steep gravel road. YouTube TV service is offered on both the living room and master bedroom TVs. This home is equipped with a backup power generator.

Enjoy a memorable mountain getaway with a central location at The Wydown House.
