Accepting Guests-Lower Level - Fully Functional

Check out https://airbnb.com/h/upper-carriage-house if this listing is booked. Add logs to a roaring fire in a majestic stone fireplace. Make meals in a stylish kitchen and dine at a rustic table. Watch the goats play or listen to the birds and read your favorite book. You'll find kittens peering at you from the old french doors. With 10 acres and a gazebo in our large private park just a short walk to the Watauga River, you'll have plenty to do. We are a quick 7-mile drive to App State football games or concerts. In the winter ski or tube any of the four resorts an easy 10-14 miles away. Located in historic Valle Crucis (between Boone and Banner Elk), this residence is the entire lower floor of our recently renovated Carriage House. Access to the floor is via a private 100 year old custom oak double door at the front of the building. It is unlocked with a unique code on a Nest lock. The upper residence of The Carriage House is also available on AirBnB (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17944509) as a separate rental. We have installed extensive sound proofing between the floors but you still might occasionally hear a little noise. Our family lives in the historic farm house nearby and is available as needed. Most of the furniture in the residence is original to the property or the area. At 1,200 sq ft this two bedroom, two bathroom features two queen beds and one queen sized sofa bed. It has a fully stocked kitchen including Keurig coffee machine, stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and kitchen basics for six. Apart from the antiques, everything is brand new. Additionally, the residence has a 50 inch flat screen television in the main living area. With the attached AppleTV, you can access your movie or music libraries via your Netflix, Amazon, or other related account. Keep in mind that internet is spotty in the mountains and our cell phone coverage is poor. You will have access to the entire Shull's Farm, including river front access to the Watauga River... just a short 5 min walk away. Explore the granite cliffs overlooking the river and valley or enjoy tranquil walks through the pine and spruce forest. The chicken house is a favorite... just follow the path behind the white house. Occasionally the chickens free range. At the chicken house you'll also meet our Great Pyrenees working dog, Bella. She is learning to guard the chickens but will soon be promoted goat guarder. We can easily accommodate two cars in the driveway. We live on the property and are available as quickly as you need us. We'd also love to tell you about the area, give dining recommendations, or things only locals know. However, if you prefer solitude, we provide keyless entry to the unit... just message us if you need us. We are a 10 acre working farm, with approximately 400 yards of Watauga River access. Access is a 5-10 minute walk from the Carriage House and includes a gazebo near the water. The fishing is great! Located in Valle Crucis, near Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock, the Carriage House was used for horses on a farmstead 100 years ago. The Orignial Mast General Store is 1-mile away and the Blue Ridge Parkway is an easy drive. For a map of the farm visit: http://shulls.farm/ We have easy access off a county maintained road. No need for a 4 wheel drive vehicle during the winter to enter/exit property.
