☆☆Main Level – Light-Filled Luxury Among the Trees☆☆

Enter the space where refined mountain living begins. Here you are greeted by an open-concept haven where mountain light dances across natural wood finishes and modern lines. The kitchen is fully equipped for culinary exploration, with rich cabinetry, sleek countertops, and a spacious central island that encourages gathering. Whether you're brewing local coffee or preparing a family-style dinner, this space blends function with visual warmth. Adjacent, the dining area and upstairs living space are framed by wood-beam accents and a contemporary fireplace — an inviting place to unwind, reconnect, or simply watch the mountain sky change colors. One more king bedroom with white noise machine, smart TV and a private ensuite is perched quietly on this floor—an ideal hideaway after a day of discovery. A stylish additional bathroom nearby offers added convenience for your group.

Balcony
Perched high above the treetops, the balcony is where comfort meets majesty. A stylish outdoor lounge area offers plenty of seating for you to stretch out and take in the endless sky. A striking fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance to cool mountain evenings. Whether you're sipping wine at sunset, wrapped in a throw beside the crackling fire, or simply watching morning mist rise off the hills, this balcony turns ordinary moments into unforgettable ones. Here, every glance is rewarded with sweeping mountain views that seem to stretch forever.


☆☆Lower Level – Grounded in Comfort, Elevated in Style☆☆

The lower level invites you to slow down, settle in, and savor forestside living at its finest. Two king bedrooms — each with a Smart TV, white noise machine and private ensuite — offer tailored comfort and a quiet escape. Whether you're watching the mist roll in from the window or curling up under soft layers, each space whispers relaxation. The living room invites connection with its elegant fireplace and a Smart TV. There is also a discreet laundry area with modern washer and dryer to ensure convenience without compromise.

Deck
Step out onto the deck and immerse yourself in the calm of the mountains. Gather around the outdoor dining table for a long, laughter-filled meal with the forest as your backdrop. Let the wooden swing become your favorite spot for morning coffee or quiet reflection, gently rocking as birdsong fills the air. As the day fades, slip into the bubbling hot tub—spacious enough for your whole group—where you can soak under open skies and enjoy sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This deck is more than an outdoor space; it’s a place to connect, reflect, and make memories together.

Pet Amenities
We’ve made sure your four-legged friends feel just as welcome! You'll find two dog beds, one on each floor, tasty treats, fun toys, and waste bags provided—because pups deserve a getaway, too.

4. To enjoy that amazing view, guests will need to drive up the mountain—about 10 minutes from the main road. There are two routes available: Joann Sisson Road or Lucius Road, both off US-76 West.

We’ve tested both and highly recommend Joann Sisson Road. It’s fully paved, easier to navigate, and far less stressful—especially for those unfamiliar with mountain driving.

Look for the turn onto Joann Sisson Road off US-76W, marked by a large “Welcome to Cherry Log Mountain” sign at the entrance.

5. The property is easily accessible via a paved road. The driveway does have solar lights but I recommend arriving while it’s still daylight to get acclimated to the drive.
