Orchard House - creekfront with outdoor fireplace, hot tub, hiking on site

Welcome to Orchard House! This beautiful home is walking distance to the Valle Crucis Apple Barn and the Crab Orchard Falls. The Crab Orchard Creek rolls through the front yard, offering a place for children to fish or play.

Once the first house in Valle Crucis to have electricity, this home is now a renovated luxury home with four bedrooms, three full baths, and both indoor and outdoor fireplaces. Only 1 mile from the Mast General Store and the idyllic Valle Crucis Community Park, you'll enjoy the peaceful setting while still being close to Boone or Banner Elk. Guests may use the new EV charger while at the home.

Walk up the stairs to the covered deck and enter Orchard House. There are two sitting areas on the main level; one is centered around a decorative fireplace (will be converted to gas this summer), the other around the TV. Youtube TV and fiberoptic internet give you access to live sports, movies, and more. The dining table expands to comfortably seat the whole house. In the kitchen, you'll find the charming farmhouse sink surrounded by the newest stainless steel appliances. For the coffee lovers, there is a drip pot, espresso machine, and a grinder for the freshest mug to start the day. The built in oven and gas cooktop will make dinners and meal prep a breeze. On the main level is the Queen bedroom. There is a full bathroom that opens to both the hallway for guests and also to the queen bedroom. The bath has a clawfoot tub with showerhead and curtain and a pedestal sink.

Upstairs are the remaining three bedrooms. The King suite has a private TV and a desk for work or school. The private bath has a tiled shower with bench. The third bedroom has another King bed, also with a desk. The third full bath opens to this bedroom and the hallway. It has another clawfoot tub with shower head and curtain and two pedestal sinks. The fourth bedroom has a Queen sleeper sofa and 50" smart TV with a Playstation 4 (selection of games included). There is also a Twin over Twin bunkbed and board games. Each level of the home has a separate Nest thermostat to keep everyone comfortable.

The deck has a wood-burning fireplace and 50" Streaming TV with comfortable seating around it. Dine at the outdoor table; cook on the gas grill, or soak in the hot tub. Steps lead down to the lower yard where the fire pit is located, alongside the creek.

Fabulous mountain getaway!
We loved our time at the Orchard House. Plenty of space for our family of four. The kitchen was perfect for cooking great meals. The highlight was the outdoor sofa/seating area where we relaxed, had our coffee and read. The creek is beautiful and enjoyed the family of deer that wandered through each evening, along with the fireflies and birds. We didn’t want to leave! Thanks to the owners for making their beautiful property available to enjoy!

Great Location!
If you love Valle Crucis, this is the home for you. We enjoyed walking to the Valle Country Fair and trout fishing in the creek on the property. The home is clean and well appointed. Had fires on the porch two evenings. Watched college football outside and enjoyed the hot tub. Neighbors are close by and on two nights a neighbor spent an hour blowing leaves with a gasoline powered blower. Beautiful claw footed tubs are nice for bathing, but awkward to shower in. Not all the blinds are functional for privacy.

Perfect getaway
We loved this house and would absolutely stay there again! We visited with our family and friends and the house was spacious while also cozy, relaxing and serene while still being fun and easily accessible. The creek and hot tub were a hit with the kids and the covered porch was a hit with the adults. It’s an awesome house!

Beautiful Home!
This home is so beautiful! Very spacious and easily accommodates a larger group. We actually didn't have our kids with us, but I wish we had because they would have loved the creek right out front, and the kids room upstairs with the bunk beds + couch/tv. The porch and outdoor fireplace is amazing. I also love the location. Very close to the original Mast General store, and an easy drive to Boone or Banner Elk. Would absolutely stay here again!

This is a great house.
This house was wonderful overall. The set up Is great for a group that includes kids. Beds were comfortable, very nice appliances. The house was well stocked with cooking supplies and they have a very thorough binder of information about things to do in the area. We enjoyed the porch and fireplace and the kids loved playing in the creek. Our only complaint is that the property manager only provides one towel per person, which wasn’t ideal with a house full of kids. We called the property manager to ask for more towels but had no response. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend the house.
