About this property

Our home is located inside the Grandfather Golf and Country Club resort. Our home's warm interior provides a casual but upscale space to relax. Upon entering, you will find large widows and sliding glass doors giving a 180 degree northwesterly view offering beautiful evening sunsets. Relax on the deck with a loved one and a beverage of your choice and watch the sun disappear behind the mountains. Sitting high off ground, the home has an open, yet very private feel.

The main floor features: A private master suite with a king size bed, cedar walls and a full bath. A second bedroom with a king size bed and its own full bath with a double vanity. An open fully-loaded kitchen. An elegant dining room with mountain, woodland view. A spacious living room with large leather couches around an enormous two-story stone fireplace with a 55” HD TV over the mantle.

Left of the fire place is a beautiful iron spiral staircase which accesses upstairs bedrooms and a balcony. The balcony has a quaint, comfy reading chair, office area and TV. We provide wired high speed internet in the office and a router for wireless hookup anywhere in the house. The two bedrooms, each with two twin beds, share a large, full bath with a double sink vanity.

As a private and exclusive resort, the Grandfather Golf and Country Club changed its rules for 2017. VRBO renters can no longer obtain guest privileges to use the amenities of the Club.

For the winter season, our mountain getaway is perfectly located to enjoy the best of the North Carolina's ski slopes. We are a ten minute drive to Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, twenty minutes from Beech Mountain Ski Resort and twenty minutes from snow tubing and the zip line at Hawksnest Resort. There are many places to cross country ski or just take a leisurely walk nearby.

McRea Meadows, home of the famous Highland games, is only a few miles away. If you are feeling adventurous, you can hike the Profile Trail and climb the majestic peaks of Grandfather Mountain. Of course, it's much easier to drive to the Mile High Swinging Bridge at the top of Grandfather Mountain which has many of the same views. If you are a backpacker or just want to hike for a day, the Appalachian Trail passes about ten miles away.

If you have children, you will want to visit Mystery Hill, the Gem Mine or the popular Tweetsie Railroad for memorable family fun. Enjoy good food from a vast array of nearby restaurants. Don’t forget to stop in the Mast General Store on the way home to satisfy a sweet tooth craving. There are too many amazing places in close proximity to list!

With unparalleled quality and comfort, this is the perfect place for family fun or some peaceful and very private relaxation. The home will warm your soul in any season and make your vacation a wonderful and memorable experience.

Wedding weekend

The furnishings are tired especially in the living room and should be replaced. Doors are beat up, and we were unaware the upstairs was accessed by a tight spiral staircase. The gutters have plants growing out if them which gives the property an unkept appearance. Overall the property desperately needs some tlc and I probably won’t rent it again.

Warm & Cozy

We stayed at this home to attend Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. The furniture is very comfortable - probably the most comfortable bed I've slept in at a vacation rental. We used the refrigerator, ovens and coffee maker and everything worked great. There was a trail from the back door that leads to MacRae Meadows, but it was difficult to follow and appeared to not be well travelled. It was also quite strenuous, but very cool to be able to walk to Grandfather Mountain and not have to deal with parking. There was some confusion at check in with the security guard, and issuing access passes for the gated community, but the owner was very responsive and helpful in getting that straightened out quickly. We had a few other questions, about the coffee maker and the trail, and the owner was always very kind and helpful.

Very nice home

We all had a great time in this house. It was very comfortable for our group of 7 adults and the mountain setting was spectacular. The entrance to Grandfather Mountain is nearby, but if you're there for leaf peeping or the highland games, be prepared for traffic. Communication with the homeowners was very good.

Amazing

Georgia is very sweet and organized we arrived at the house and everything was perfect. The house has a great energy and is within a very nice gated community. Close to sugar mountain ski slopes it is very convenient and also closer to Charlotte International aIrport compared to other houses we’ve seen. Our kids loved the cottage and had a great time. 10 out of 10

Had a great time. Skied the first day and it was excellent. Was snowed in the next two days.

We enjoyed our stay even though we were snowed in the last two days. Enjoyed sledding down the driveway and played a lot of games. Was thankful that we could stay the extra day until we could get plowed out. Thank you so much Mrs. Hayes

First mountain last minute getaway

Great location in regard to sightseeing/shopping/dining opportunities. Beautiful views. The house felt spacious. The kitchen & pantry was wonderfully equipped with the basic cooking tools, utensils and condiments/spices needed to prepare/serve meals. Great host communication availability. Although furnishings were dated (was having nostalgic moments of growing up in the 70's) all countertops surfaces were clean and things were in working order. Overall a good stay. However, the only thing I wish I would have known prior to booking was that most of the main living areas are dated carpet in a home that hosts pets. Would not recommend for anyone asthmatic or suffers with allergies (which was half of my group).

Most Memorable Thanksgiving

Spent such a wonderful Thanksgiving here with our family and felt right at home in the best way! Could not have been more comfortable or felt more cared for - the home is just that, a home, so it’s well-stocked (everything from fuzzy blankets and firewood to gourmet seasonings) and easy to love. Georgia was the most gracious and welcoming host, plus the Grandfather club grounds were stunning. We will absolutely be back!

Nice but older property

We enjoyed our stay. If you need the most up to date appliances and fancy accommodations you won't be happy. But we were quite comfortable. We did lose power one night (whole community did) for a couple hours during the rain and were without water (well pump) and lights but that is not unusual for a mountain area. We had hoped we could walk up the hillside to the Highland Games at Grandfather Mountain. The guys did manage to make it up the day before the games but it involved heavy bush-wacking and avoiding poison ivy. There is no trail that goes all the way up that we could find and there were some areas that could have resulted in serious injury if we'd fallen. I wouldn't recommend the hike, especially not at night. We ended up taking the shuttle bus for the games. The place did smell musty when we arrived as someone else mentioned, but once we opened the windows and aired it out, it was fine. Probably needs a dehumidifier in the house and I would recommend the owner replace the carpeting with wood or other hard surface flooring to help get rid of the damp musty smell.

Christmas at Grandfather Mountain.

My family and my sister's family planned a holiday ski trip and stayed here. It was wonderful. 15 minutes to Sugar Mountain and 30 minutes to Beech. The first morning we were there we woke up to a beautiful dusting of snow. It was a beautiful walk around the neighborhood. Days were spent skiing and the evenings we spent watching movies, doing puzzles around the beautiful fireplace. Kitchen is small and outdated but worked just fine for us. The owner checked in to make sure our stay was going well and was available if we needed anything (which we didn't). We had a wonderful stay and will definitely look to stay here again should we make our way back for another trip. Thank you for sharing your lovely mountain home with us. We made some amazing memories together here!

About the host

Hosted by Georgia Hayes

Roger and I are both from North Carolina. He was a Duke University football player and I was a UNC Chapel Hill Homecoming Queen You can imagine the rivalry in our household during March Madness! We have been married 44 years. Since we both grew up close to Charlotte (Monroe and Gastonia), we decided to raise our family there. The mountains have always been our retreat. For Roger, being an avid golfer and outdoor enthusiast, this was a perfect place. Needless to say, it was “love at first sight” when we discovered this lovely mountain home. We knew immediately that we had to have it. At that time, Roger worked for Bank of America and I owned a software business. We have both since retired and have spent many summers here in bliss. We have wonderful memories at our home at Grandfather Golf and Country Club and know you will enjoy it as much as our family and friends have! -Georgia “Peach” & Roger

Why they chose this property

We purchased this particular property due it's feeling of privacy, nature and wilderness in the safety of a gated community with every amenity just outside the gates. We love to hike and experience the wonders of nature, but also the privacy and solitude of our very special home. It's the best of all worlds.

What makes this property unique

You''ll see wild turkeys and deer strutting down or across the driveway. There are hiking trails nearby. McRae Meadows where the Highland Games are held, is only a few miles away. You can hear their music during the second weekend in July. The beautiful Grandfather Mountain attraction with its mile high swinging bridge is closeby.
