Nestled within the Blue Ridge Mountains, the "Grouse House'' is a true escape. Thoughtfully renovated, this mountain cabin is fresh and clean with primary consideration given to comfort, relaxation, and enjoying magnificent mountain views.
Whether your vacation goals are to nestle in to complete relaxation, or to use the space as a launch pad for a day of outdoor activity, both speeds are accommodated for. Miles of trails are available within the Wolf Laurel community, and as lovers of the outdoors ourselves, we are happy to point you in the right direction for a hike that works best for you. The area is also rich with additional outdoor activities including swimming, horseback riding, zip lining, and rafting. (But it’s also ok to spend the day curled up with a good book by the fireplace or on the deck with the fresh alpine air.)
