Comfy bed for better sleep

The room-darkening shades and extra bedding are loved by guests.
Enter an enchanting mix of rustic nostalgia and modern comforts within a harmonious aesthetic. Take in the river from the porch swing or hot tub, cozy up to the stone fireplace or outside fire pit. Fishing & skiing are close: 15 miles to Sugar or Beech Mountains.

You have full access to both cabins: the main house hosts the peaceful queen bedroom, bunk room, loft, main bathroom & shower (no tub), kitchen and dining room. The smaller separate cottage hosts the relaxing king bedroom, private bath, and laundry. If you have small children, please be aware that our property has some steep slopes.

The main house contains a master queen bedroom with private french doors onto the deck, a bunkroom to sleep 3, a vaulted greatroom with huge stone fireplace, comfy kitchen with all the modern amenities, a stone sunroom with dining room and reading nook, double vanity bathroom with sunken shower, and a loft retreat for 65" 4K TV and games! A guest house (included in your reservation) right behind contains a master king bedroom, private bath, and laundry room...and a charming porch swing overlooking the river. Family adventures, romantic getaways, meditative retreats. Envision walking through the woods up behind the cabin, maybe even finding the hidden gazebo! The large deck makes for a great space to sit and look at the scenic hills and water just below. Imagine the cows mooing and the reclusive bald eagle flying overhead. The mountains are just what you need!

In the winter, we recommend a 4WD vehicle to get up the driveway in case of snow!

Once you're all settled in, you can begin planning your adventures in the High Country...from shopping excursions in quaint Blowing Rock to epic hikes on the Appalachian Trail to zip-lining and ropes courses. From fine dining to fly fishing to river tubing to snow skiing, the choices are endless. Or just throw some logs on the fire, light up the grill, and hole up in your own luxurious retreat where all you can hear is the geese landing on the river and the cows mooing in the meadow. It's a magical place, and we'd love to share it with you!

The area is full of beautiful hiking on the Appalachian Trail, exciting zip-lining and ropes courses, and relaxing fly-fishing spots and river tubing. Head to the quaint towns nearby to sample tasty local foods and brews, and browse the antique shops. Once you book with us, we'll send you our thorough visitors guide to the area for lots of specific recommendations.

Completely renovated in the summer of 2018, the Briar Patch brings an enchanting mix of rustic nostagia and modern comfort in a whimsical, one-of-a-kind getaway you won't want to leave!

My work: Jerome is an executive coach and works with organizational leaders to create thriving cultures. Kellie works for a local nonprofit.
Fun fact: We hiked 500 miles on the Camino!
Jerome & Kellie pursued their love affair with the mountains in 2016, moving from central North Carolina to the western Appalachians. Parents of three grown children and two grandsons, they are passionate about beautiful, peaceful spaces. We love to backpack and read and drink wine in front of the fireplace.
