“Tobey's Den” - Perfect Home-Away-From-Home for families and friends Every time we drive up the mountainside, our love for our 2nd generation mountain retreat grows and our day-to-day worries melt away. We love this property, with its gorgeous views, secluded location, family- and dog-friendly environment, and close proximity to small-towns like West Jefferson, Boone, and Blowing Rock. This is what inspired us to want to keep the property in the family for future generations. We want everyone who stays at “Tobey's Den” to feel the same peace and relaxation we feel when we visit and to have time to enjoy family and friends and to make happy memories as we already have. PS: Because we know you'll ask, “Tobey” is the cute bear who stands at the front door. Since Tobey resides at the property full-time and watches over and welcomes our guests, it seemed fitting to name the house after him; it's his “Den”, thus “Tobey's Den.” The living area features a huge wood burning fireplace with a unique burl maple mantle. A 65” TV with streaming services and SlingTV for regular programming may be experienced from the living and dining areas and kitchen. The living room also features a DVD player with collection of movies and Bose radio for background music. The kitchen is a chef's dream - stainless steel, high-end Viking appliances (gas cooktop, electric oven/convection oven, microwave, fridge and dishwasher) are available for use and enjoyment. The kitchen also offers an endless supply of cooking gear and utensils to make meal-time prep and clean-up a breeze. The upper-level deck spans the entire length of the house and offers guests a place to enjoy coffee, drinks and finger food, with access to a gas fire-pit; all while enjoying amazing views of the mountainside all day long. Grillmasters have access to both charcoal and gas grills, while still enjoying easy access to the kitchen and family-centered activities. The main floor includes laundry area, powder room, office for those needing to get work done while enjoying family-time, and the master suite. A king size bed provides sleeping accommodations on the upper level with a full bath with a Jacuzzi tub and separate tiled shower with four wall mounted waterfall showerheads. A 55” TV streaming provides bedroom entertainment. The spectacular view continues with extended windows throughout the master suite. Downstairs is “Tobey's Cave”, complete with a full game room (table tennis and air hockey provided), family and kid-focused games and puzzles, wine-fridge, coffee machine, and a place to lounge and watch sports or movies on the 55” TV with stream services. Outside access to 6-person luxury hot-tub (1 lounge seat, 30 jets, premier package), outdoor sitting and - of course - world-class views of the North Carolina mountains! Two additional bedrooms (one with king-bed, one with queen), 1½ baths with stand-up shower, and kids “bunk” room finish out the lower level. Easily accommodates 8 people.
