Charming Cottage in Historic Valle Crucis with Mtn Views/Hot tub/River access

Welcome to Brown Dog’s Heaven, a charming one-story cottage tucked away in the heart of Historic Valle Crucis, NC. This peaceful mountain escape offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience and Carolina charm -- ideal for families, couples, or App State/Lees McRae parents.

Relax in a quiet, private neighborhood with beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain views, just one mile from the famous Mast General Store and a short drive to Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mtn, Banner Elk and the local ski resorts on Beech and Sugar Mountains. Our cottage is easily accessible -- no steep climbs, just a smooth drive along mostly main roads.

Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully updated interior with cozy furnishings and all the amenities we could think of to make your stay more comfortable. Enjoy new memory foam mattresses, a fully stocked kitchen, brand new washer and dryer, dishwasher, and family-friendly touches like board games, children's toys, a ping pong table in the garage as well as special amenities for your pup(s). Our cottage is small but mighty, we hope you will find it the perfect size for your family or couples' getaway.

Step outside to take in the crisp mountain air from the private hot tub, roast marshmallows at the fire pit, have dinner al fresco at our dining table for 6, or walk down to the private neighborhood river access to enjoy a peaceful moment or catch a mountain trout in the Watauga River.

Bring your canine family members along-- big dogs are welcome here! Whether you're spending the day exploring nearby trails or our Valle Crusis Park, skiing at Sugar or Beech Mountain, or simply soaking in the view from the deck, Brown Dogs' Heaven offers the perfect home base for your Blue Ridge getaway.

Come explore our town: have a beer at the Mast Farm Brewery, explore the corn maze or the choose and cut flowers from the Harvest Farm, Have a lovely locally-sourced lunch at Pearl's Kitchen before stepping back in time into the Mast General Store, the oldest general store in the country. Trust us, you don't want to miss the magic inside... Grab a cold glass bottle coke and a bag of popcorn or some old-fashioned candy and play a game of checkers by the old potbelly stove.
