Orchard House - creekfront with outdoor fireplace, hot tub, hiking on site

Welcome to Orchard House! This beautiful home is walking distance to the Valle Crucis Apple Barn and the Crab Orchard Falls. The Crab Orchard Creek rolls through the front yard, offering a place for children to fish or play.

Once the first house in Valle Crucis to have electricity, this home is now a renovated luxury home with four bedrooms, three full baths, and both indoor and outdoor fireplaces. ​​​​​Only 1 mile from the Mast General Store and the idyllic Valle Crucis Community Park, you'll enjoy the peaceful setting while still being close to Boone or Banner Elk. Guests may use the new EV charger while at the home.

Walk up the stairs to the covered deck and enter Orchard House. There are two sitting areas on the main level; one is centered around a decorative fireplace (will be converted to gas this summer), the other around the TV. Youtube TV and fiberoptic internet give you access to live sports, movies, and more. The dining table expands to comfortably seat the whole house. In the kitchen, you'll find the charming farmhouse sink surrounded by the newest stainless steel appliances. For the coffee lovers, there is a drip pot, espresso machine, and a grinder for the freshest mug to start the day. The built in oven and gas cooktop will make dinners and meal prep a breeze. On the main level is the Queen bedroom. There is a full bathroom that opens to both the hallway for guests and also to the queen bedroom. The bath has a clawfoot tub with showerhead and curtain and a pedestal sink.

Upstairs are the remaining three bedrooms. The King suite has a private TV and a desk for work or school. The private bath has a tiled shower with bench. The third bedroom has another King bed, also with a desk. The third full bath opens to this bedroom and the hallway. It has another clawfoot tub with shower head and curtain and two pedestal sinks. The fourth bedroom has a Queen sleeper sofa and smart TV with a Playstation 4 (BYOGames). There is also a Twin over Twin bunkbed and board games. Each level of the home has a separate Nest thermostat to keep everyone comfortable.

The deck has a wood-burning fireplace with comfortable seating around it. Dine at the outdoor table; cook on the gas grill, or soak in the hot tub. Steps lead down to the lower yard where the fire pit is located, alongside the creek.
