Located high on Appalachian Mountain, ten minutes from Blowing Rock and 15 minutes from Boone, you'll find the beautiful Hearthstone. With a paved driveway for easier access, enter directly through the three car garage or use the front door with a single step.  Every detail has been thought of for the comfort of your stay. Entering the kitchen, you'll find the beautiful honed granite counters, a maple island, two sets of sinks and two dishwashers. The gas stove and double over making cooking for large groups a breeze. The main level also has a full laundry area with third full sink and a second refrigerator. Walk into the dining hall and see the grand table that seats up to 20 guests comfortably! There is a smaller living room with a woodburning fireplace, perfect for watching TV or engaging in conversation. The theater room is also on the main level, with sunken seating for ten or more and a large TV. The sunroom features space to spread out and relax with the amazing views in sight. You are also able to access either the deck or the hot tub from here. There is one bedroom on the main level, a King bed with TV, and a fabulous bathroom. Double granite vanities, a large soaking tub, and a tiled shower are available. A half bath is off of the living room for easy guest use. The upper level can be accessed from two separate sets of stairs. There is a King bedroom with lovely views and an ensuite bath with a tub/shower combination.  The bunkroom has three sets of twin over twin bunks, with plenty of space for the younger crowd to stretch out and watch TV. If more space is what they need, there is also a large rec room with four full sized game tables. Pool, air hockey, ping pong, and foosball tables give you plenty to do if staying inside. A TV has been added to the rec room to catch the game while playing your own. The fourth bedroom has a King bed, with access to another room with a Queen sized futon. A full bath is off of the King room with double vanities and a tub/shower combo. The fifth bedroom has a Queen bed and access to a shared full bath. The sixth bedroom has twin bunk bed, and a twin daybed with a twin trundle.  Outside has even more to offer! In addition to the patio with the hot tub, there is a nice, flat yard for playing. Head up the rock steps to the playground that would rival many public parks! There are swings, a climbing wall, sand boxes, horse shoes, tether ball, and the crown jewel, a 50 foot tunnel slide built into the mountainside! There is a fire pit for toasting marshmallows, and a grill. A very short drive from the house you'll find the Fire Tower Trail that connects with the Cone Estate Trails!
