****THIS IS A PET FRIENDLY PROPERTY****
Welcome to Bee Balm Cottage! Located within Pisgah National Forest, and a quick 5-minute drive from historic downtown Burnsville, Bee Balm Cottage is nestled into the foot of Bee Branch Mountain overlooking the lovely pastoral valley known as Johnson Cove. The property includes a white pine forest, and seasonal native wildflowers. Views from the cottage include forested mountains and, in the winter, a picturesque farm valley.
This charming well-appointed 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom cottage is perfect for a family vacation, a weekend with friends, a romantic getaway, or an individual retreat. Enjoy the mountain breeze as you sit on the deck with your morning coffee or dine al fresco at sunset. You might catch a visit from wild turkeys, deer, or the occasional black bear. Explore historic downtown Burnsville, which offers excellent festivals, art galleries, shopping, restaurants, cafes, and a popular local brewery great for live music and people-watching.
Bee Balm Cottage is near a number of great hikes and waterfalls, such as Crabtree Falls, Roaring Fork Falls, and the Bolen Creek Trailhead, the entry point for the Black Mountain Crest Trail, a rigorous 12-mile hike to the top of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the Eastern U.S. It’s a scenic 20-minute drive to Carolina Hemlock Recreation Area where you can swim in the South Toe River, hike, and, if you’re lucky, spot a black bear. A quick half-hour drive to Mars Hill, Little Switzerland, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, equidistant to Mount Mitchell State Park, Asheville, Grandfather State Park, Sugar Mountain, Linville Gorge, and Roan Mountain State Park.
Bee Balm Cottage is an excellent home base for exploring everything the NC Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer.
