Description Description
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.

The Orchard House is a Gem
The Orchard House was clean, beautiful, and had everything our family needed. The creek was great for the children; and so relaxing to listen to while sitting on the porch. The Valle Crucis park is great and was just down the road; and Tweetsie Railroad and restaurants were all within 23 minutes. The staff at Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals is always friendly, helpful, and just a pleasure to work with. We forgot our gr.daughters stuffed bunny when we checked out; and Stacy helped us retrieve it quickly. We highly recommend The Orchard House and Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals to everyone we know.?

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 and so convenient
Great location and so convenient to Boone or Banner Elk. If want to visit the wineries, 15 mins to each of them. Great house and well furnished and great for grandkids to play in yard and stream. Very relaxing sitting on deck and listening to water.

My friends and I enjoyed staying at the Orchard House for a ski weekend with our families and had easy access to all the area slopes and hiking trails. We enjoyed all the inside and outside areas of the home including: Puzzling by the inside fire, TV watching outside by the outside fire and There was a constant rotation in the hot tub. Not to mention the kids played by the creekside. We enjoyed coffee and espresso and noticed how well equipped the kitchen was. We highly recommend the Orchard House!

We had a wonderful stay at Orchard House. There was an excellent amount of space for two families, the kitchen was well-appointed, the entire house was super-clean, and the beds were comfortable. It was wonderful to be able to walk to the Orchard Falls hike and the kids loved spending time by the creek!

The Perfect Mountain Getaway!
We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay at the Orchard House. The layout of the bedrooms provided privacy for individual couples, while the living areas were perfect for spending time together. The creek in the front yard was heaven for our three grandsons and the fireplace on the porch was a great place to watch football on a rainy day. Nearby trails provided great hiking and outdoor adventures, making it easy to keep our grandchildren entertained without having to venture out. We definitely plan to return!

Relaxing and Fun Getaway
We had the best time at this cabin in the woods. It was so cozy yet had plenty of room for the two families sharing it. The outdoor porch was AMAZING and the creek and hot tub were a big hit for the kiddos. It was awesome.

Outstanding Experience
We could not have been happier with our stay, or our experience with Blue Ridge Rentals. We have friends who have booked their own stay at Orchard House because they were so impressed with our pictures and what we had to say about the house.

Great house. It's definitely recently been remodeled and if easily fit 2 families. The bunk beds have a trundle which in addition to the pull out couch, helped fit a lot of kids in one room. Everything was clean and worked well. We visited in January and couldn't get any food deliveries at night so had to drive to Boone, but I believe normally when there is no snow on the ground, there is a delivery service.

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!

Orchard House - Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals
Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals was a great company to work with! Most of my conversations were with Cindy, but everyone who answered the phone was awesome. When they emailed me two weeks before our trip to tell me that the driveway had deteriorated in the heavy rains the area had been having, they did not have a home for us and were going to refund what we had paid. But I called a few days later just to make sure that they didn't have a home for us, and there was one available - Orchard House. It was perfect for our family - great outdoor space, beautiful outdoor deck, wonderful creek below, great fireflies at night! Couldn't have been better for 6 adults, 2 kids and 2 babies. And great location - close to everything! I hope we return to this area of North Carolina. Thanks to the owners for having such a beautiful home!

The Orchard House is Exceptional!
The Orchard House is such an impressive, beautiful home! Our family of nine, 6 adults and 3 children, had a very comfortable stay. The children loved playing in the creek! The large deck with a fireplace was also a hit for making s'mores! The kitchen is well equipped with everything will need. We especially enjoyed coffee made with the espresso machine! The house is in a very good location to local attractions. We are definitely planning another visit! Another plus, Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals was very attentive to our needs. Some animal had gotten into the garbage prior to our arrival. They immediately sent someone out to take care of it. Don't hesitate to book, it's beautiful!
