About this property

Castle Keep: BIG Deck, Hammocks & Egg Chair Swings

The Hidden Castle is ideally located near everything in the High Country. It's newly renovated and designed with the guest in mind. With three full queen beds, a full kitchen, stone fireplace and 800 square foot deck, you just might find that the Hidden Castle ends up being the reason you came to the High Country.

The Hidden Castle rests on the top of a peak that is at the base of Grandfather Mountain. From the deck, and every room, you’ll get an up close and personal experience to the classic profile view of the most famous mountain in North Carolina.

This two bedroom one bathroom space sleeps six people comfortably (three queen beds), is home to one of the most unique libraries that you’ve ever laid your eyes on, has a fully stocked kitchen and comes with more castle vibes than you can shake a stick at.

Whether you’re napping on one of the two hammocks, lounging by the firepit in one of the many adirondak chairs, swinging in one of the egg chairs or strolling the grounds, this will be the stay that you will not soon forget.
