Description Description

Welcome to A Tree Top Mountain Home, a one of a kind mountain retreat nestled within the prestigious gated community of Tynecastle. Designed to evoke the charm of a Scottish village and set at an elevation of approximately 4,390 feet, this three level Craftsman style home is surrounded by some of the High Country’s most iconic peaks, including Grandfather, Sugar, and Beech Mountains. Situated on 1.77 private acres, the home offers a peaceful and quiet setting with cool summer temperatures and beautiful year round mountain views.

Step inside to the welcoming main level where cathedral tongue and groove ceilings, hardwood floors, wainscoting, and a stunning stone gas fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spacious living area flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen, which features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, high end KitchenAid appliances, a gourmet style 4 burner gas oven, a prep sink, and bar seating. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area comfortably seats up to ten, making it ideal for family gatherings and group meals. Easy main level access requires just one step into the home.

The primary suite on the main level is a true retreat, offering a king bed, tray ceilings, a flat screen TV, and captivating mountain views with access to two decks. The ensuite bathroom includes an updated double vanity, a large custom tiled walk-in shower, and heated floors

Upstairs, two spacious king bedrooms each feature ceiling fans and TVs and share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a tub and shower combination. A cozy loft area provides additional space to relax, read, or enjoy the mountain setting.

The lower level is designed for entertaining and extended stays, featuring a second living space with a gas stone fireplace, pool table, shuffleboard table, and a sofa. The fourth bedroom on this level offers a queen bed and easy access to a full bathroom with a tub and shower combination. Step outside to the full size lower deck, where the mountain backdrop creates the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings.

Outdoor living is a highlight of this home, with expansive decks offering ample seating and a fire pit area that is ideal for taking in the fresh mountain air and sweeping views.

Perfectly located for year round adventure, the home is just minutes from dining and shopping in Banner Elk, close to local favorites such as Stonewalls, Banner Elk Café, and Luna Sushi and Thai. You are also only 2 miles from Sugar Mountain, 9 miles from Beech Mountain, and within easy driving distance of Boone and Blowing Rock. Whether you are here to ski, hike, golf, explore charming mountain towns, or simply relax and take in the views, A Tree Top Mountain Home offers the perfect High Country escape.

This home could not have any nicer. Great location, close to resturants and attractions. The home owner has done a great job to make this place special. The deck, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the beds: everything is first class. Can’t wait to come back.

Excellent Location so close to Sugar Mtn
This is a very comfortable house with bedrooms on all three levels, which makes it easy for groups to spread out. The fireplace in the kitchen is amazing, and so is the heated tile in the master bath! The view is phenomenal, the location is perfect, you feel like you’re on acreage, yet you are right beside Sugar Mtn ski resort and a three minute drive to the grocery store. My only suggestion is to bring extra towels, as the host only provides one per person, and if you’re using the hot tub and showering, it takes a lot of time to continuously wash and dry towels.

Great mountain getaway
We enjoyed this property. It was comfortable and the location (near Sugar Mtn and Beech Mtn) was perfect. We enjoyed hiking Linville Falls as well. Constructive advice would be to have more glassware (wine glasses and tall water/tea glasses). Blue Ridge Rentals was great as usual—helpful and very quick to respond to any questions/issues we had. We would definitely recommend them and will continue to use them for our mountain house rentals.

Perfect mountain home for family gathering.
Description of this property presented it very well. Our group was family and consisted 5 adults in their 40’s, 1 10 year old and a 75-80 year old couple. The kitchen was very well furnished (although no ice maker in the fridge) and the bedrooms were spacious with nice mattresses. Game room with pool table and shuffleboard. Nice deck with a good view to the north, a fire pit and a gas grill (would have preferred charcoal - personal preference). Great location and very private. Could not ask for more.

Amazing mountain house
The house was absolutely amazing! The views are beautiful and there was tons of room for the whole family. The basement was super fun in the evening. Even though the snow canceled our outdoor activities staying in the house all weekend was just as much fun! We can’t wait to visit again!

My husband and I took our son and some college friends to do some snowboarding at Sugar Mountain. This property was the perfect location! The house was beautiful and had such a great layout and amenities for our group. We got 8 inches of snow our first night, and it was beautiful. The location of this house was a mile from the slopes and an easy drive even with the snow. Would definitely recommend, and will be back ourselves.
