Panoramic Long Range Mountain Views on 4ac, Hot Tub, Pool Table, Arcade, Firepit

New hot tub added November 15, 2024!Find the tranquility you've been looking for at Paddy's Peak, a custom energy star home located at the top of Paddy Mountain in West Jefferson. Paddy's Peak is a secluded mountain retreat that offers breathtaking panoramic long range mountain views from 4,200 feet. The home is situated on 4 secluded acres and also has the convenience of town just minutes away, with West Jefferson located at the bottom of the mountain. Hike less than 100 yards up to the top of the mountain and enjoy a picnic overlooking the town of West Jefferson and a beautiful view of Mount Jefferson. Relax on the expansive deck and enjoy the hot tub and gas fire pit table in the evening, or enjoy the view inside. The living room features a two story prow of windows, so you can snuggle up in front of the stone fireplace and still enjoy the stunning 180 degree views unhindered. In fact the front of the home is full of windows on all levels, so you can enjoy the beautiful views while eating dinner, relaxing in bed, playing pool, or even doing dishes in the kitchen.

On the lower level, you will find a bedroom with a queen bed and bunk bed for the kids to enjoy. Chill out while enjoying the view from the lower level game room which features a ball return pool table, an electronic double basketball game, a multicade arcade machine, and a kids skee ball machine. The game room opens up to a den with a 65 inch TV with surround sound. The lower level also has a full bath and a bookshelf full of books and games. You can get a great cardio workout on the elliptical machine before you start your day. If you must work, there is a dedicated work station with an adjustable height desk, keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

On the first floor/main level, you will find a spacious living room with breathtaking views and a beautiful stone fireplace. The high end custom kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including a double oven, microwave, gas range, crock pot, electric can opener, blender, rice cooker, roaster, spice rack, VERY sharp knives and all the baking/cooking/serving dishes, utensils, kitchen gadgets and tools you need to cook a meal for a dozen people. In addition, there is a walk in pantry to store at least a week of food for a dozen people. The main level also features a master bedroom with a log king bed and private bath.

Upstairs on the second floor you will find a second master bedroom with a log California king bed and direct access to the bathroom. The spacious bathroom includes a jacuzzi tub and large shower stall. The upstairs also has a second bedroom with a queen bed.

There is plenty to do in the surrounding area with easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, lots of great hikes, horseback riding, zip lining, fishing, and tubing all within a short drive. Downtown West Jefferson is also just a 5 minute drive, where you will find shopping, restaurants, groceries, an ABC store, and more. Or go shopping in Boone, just 30 minutes away.

Paddy's Peak offers the best of both worlds, a completely secluded mountain retreat to get away from it all, with the convenience of town just 5 minutes away. Escape from the world and let the mountain air refresh you!

During winter months if it snows, you will need 4WD/AWD to get to the house as it is at the top of the mountain. If weather is of concern, please purchase trip insurance. We do not refund due to bad weather or difficulty getting up the road to the house.

Note there is an exterior security camera under the deck pointed at the road leading up to the house. This helps us know if the road needs to be plowed in winter, monitor bear activity, and if unauthorized vehicles are at the house when it is not rented. We do not monitor it while the house is rented.

Our family loved everything about this beautiful home. It is very clean and worth every penny spent.
For the first time on a vacation we actually loved staying in, there was so much to do with the children in the downstairs arcade. The children enjoyed Smores by the fire overlooking the beautiful view. The house was very clean and sanitary we will for sure be visiting again soon!

Amazing Stay!
We had the most incredible weekend at Paddy's Peak. The house and location are absolutely stunning! The host was very responsive and helpful, as well. You will most definitely need 4WD if there's any chance of inclement weather. We can not say enough great things about our experience. Look forward to staying at Paddy's Peak in the future!

Beautiful and spacious cabin!!
The cabin is well equipped with all the comforts we needed. Two toddlers and several adults all enjoyed the cabin, especially the views. Positioned high up on the mountain with spectacular views. Yes, the drive up is a bit scary, just ensure you’re in a powerful vehicle. Easy 10min drive to West Jefferson. Wonderful location! Overall, a wonderful experience!!

Great home, amazing views, room to spread out and accommodate a larger party! We had a day of very wet weather, so the kids (and adults) got to make use of the basement with all the games! One word of caution - as mentioned in previous reviews - steep driveway which can be challenging for a 2 wheel drive vehicle. Otherwise a fun stay!

Fantastic views, beautiful home, exceptionally clean, and homeowner was very responsive!
We had a wonderful time at Paddy's Peak! The views are absolutely breathtaking! The home was very clean and beautiful! We brought our 3 young children (9,7, and 3). The basement kept them entertained and they each had their own space to play. The sunsets are amazing. Home has everything you need. The road is no joke, just bring your 4-wheel drive! You can't have views like Paddy's Peak though without a climb! We also took the climb straight up the mountain behind the home to get the view of West Jefferson! Thanks for a wonderful week!

Great house!
We took a few couples up for a weekend and really enjoyed it. Bedrooms are nice and spacious. Everything was clean. Main living area and dining area are very nice and spacious. You are literally on top of a mountain and there is a lot of wind. We initially thought we would spend a lot of time on the deck by the fire pit but we spent most of our time inside with the fireplace on. The view from inside the cabin is incredible. I know others have said it but the driveway is very steep. We had a 4WD Suburban that made it no problem. We had a 2WD Chevy Equinox that also made it, although not as easily. With any snow or ice you would have to have 4WD. Although, the driveway is an easy 3 minute walk so parking a car in the cul de sac would have been fine. We have stayed in several cabins and this is one of the best for sure. Rent with confidence! Note: There are 4 bedrooms total and a pullout couch on bottom floor. Would recommend kids on the pullout and not adults.

A Lovely Stay!
First things first! The driveway! As past reviewers have stated - don't underestimate it! The gravel was incredibly lose when we arrived and our cars couldn't make it even half way because they would either get stuck or begin to slide backwards. Be cautious even if you have larger trucks - the turns are practically 90 degrees. We ended up leaving some cars at the bottom of the driveway because we were worried about the gravel slipping and the cars going backwards. That being said! Once past the hill, the house is lovely. The pictures are incredibly accurate - and the main window? It's beautiful. The view of the mountains? It's as if you're standing in the middle of them; they're that close. We took so many pictures of those mountains and none of them are zoomed in - which astounds me! The house is in beautiful condition. The owners take a lot of care and it shows. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed - although when we arrived, a lot of the dishes that had been put away weren't fully washed (or rather, they hadn't been washed well - there were crumbs along the sides (I don't fault the owners for this - the previous renters were most likely rushing as they were leaving)) so we had to rinse/wash everything before using it. That was disappointing - along with the laundry. Blankets had been laid out on the bed but none of the beds were made. This was new for me; after driving all day, it would have been nice to climb into bed and sleep but we had to spend time making the beds first. However, that aside, the rooms were wonderful and we slept like angels once the beds were made. The game room is fantastic and we had no other issues at all! The owners are FANTASTIC and Ginny's responses came quickly with several recommendations. She's absolutely wonderful! It was a lovely time and I do recommend the location! Just please keep the driveway in mind - make sure you have a sturdy car and tires with good grip! If you're looking for a place to stay that is roomy and accommodating, then this is your place. It's beautiful!

Tranquil Retreat with Stunning Views
Nestled in the picturesque mountains of NC, this vacation house offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Let's dive into the details: 1. **Breathtaking Views The moment you step onto the balcony, you're greeted by an awe-inspiring panorama. The rolling hills, lush forests, and distant mountains create a postcard-worthy backdrop. 2. Cleanliness: The house was spotless upon arrival. Kudos to the cleaning crew! You can relax knowing that hygiene is a top priority. 3. Convenience at Your Fingertips: Whether you're whipping up a meal or brewing your morning coffee, the kitchen setup is excellent. 4. **Outdoor deck: The spacious outdoor area is where this house truly shines. A sprawling deck with good seating invites you to soak up the sun. Imagine sipping wine while watching fireflies dance in the evening. 5. **The Achilles' Heel: The beds, unfortunately, fall short. They're on the firmer side, which might not suit everyone.
