Looking for responsible, good humored sitters to stay in the "coolest corner of NC". We live in Ashe county on a mountain in the "corner" of NC, TN, and VA. You will be staying with (and sleeping with) 2 dogs- 7 yo beagle and a yo lab mix. They are lazy and entertain themselves. The dogs have access to a dog door to a fenced back yard but do need to be taken on a short walk one time per day. The older one takes  medication several times per day (but takes the pills easily wrapped in magical cream cheese). Our mountain A-frame chalet home has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths and a bed in the loft.  There is a back deck overlooking more trees and deer visit frequently also looking to be fed:). The basement has a TV, dart board and shuffleboard table for when you are tired from exploring the cute nearby towns of West Jefferson, Boone, and Blowing Rock. Walking the neighborhood itself is pretty and somewhat hilly but there is plenty of hiking nearby, as well as 4 wheel rentals, zip lining, and Mountain Cat rides. At the base of the neighborhood is the New River on which people float in tubes or kayak all summer, as well as fly fish. There is also a neighborhood lake you can fish in . Basically, you have the options of living the laid back mountain life or being as active as you want in a small town.lThe closest thing to the house is the Old Barn Winery and Ingles grocery store 15 minutes away. We would love to have you experience our mountain and the love of our rescue fur babies. I am a Physical Therapist and my husband is the President of a furniture company. The dogs are unemployed.....I would like to go on business travel with my husband in  August and September. if interested in this location please reach out. Thanks for looking!!

Missing my Mclovin and Sadie two of the sweetest, kindest dogs you will every have the pleasure of meeting.  If you are looking for a peaceful mountain retreat that just happens to come with two super pets, this is the place for you.  Quiet and secluded but not too far from the maddening crowd.  Chris and Dan left clear and simple instructions.  The house was clean, well organized and comfortable.  I do say the bed was like sleeping in a cloud.  I will miss Sadie and Mclovin, my two other partners in crime but the humans were pretty cool too.  Hugs to all and I know I will see you again for sure if not in this lifetime then in another.   Thanks for inviting me into your little piece of heaven.
