Join us often. It will be like a chat by the fire in an open hearth; warm, engaging, and always inviting you to stay awhile.

1. The Romantic Getaway that Keeps On Giving

We all have a romantic view of mountain log cabins: the big, warm fireplace with comfy over-stuffed chairs close-by, the magnificent view, open windows and open hearts, and the whisper of wind through white pines. If we want to renew the romance in our relationship, it’s the perfect place for a weekend or week-long getaway. But what about something more, something enduring? If you want to renew your life and reinvent your lifestyle, consider living year round in a log home in the North Carolina Mountains.

Western North Carolina has many fine mountain communities and Bostic, NC offers quality mountain living at its best. Yellowtop Mountain Estates, South Mountain Peaks, and Golden Valley Estates are well established private gated communities with a growing population of residents who have built their dream homes and designed their ideal lifestyles. These communities are located in Western North Carolina's Isothermal Belt where there are four distinct seasons, but summers and winters are mild. All the communities have easy to drive paved roads. Nearby, you can access golf, boating, hunting and fishing, shopping, dining, area attractions and health care. The recreation and health services are far enough away to give you a sense of quiet seclusion, yet close enough to swiftly access if needed.

Imagine the best of all worlds: small city offerings and attractions, country/mountain solitude, and virtual/internet access. Mountain log home living is a viable long-term option. It’s the romantic getaway that keeps on giving and keeps you living the dream
