Hike directly from the house for incredible views at Sitting Bear or down into Linville Gorge on Brushy Ridge Trail. Incredible backcountry mountain biking can be experienced from the house, same for great road cycling with the infamous 181 climb. The Blue Ridge Parkway is less than five miles away and you are about 20 minutes from the Banner Elk ski slopes.
