ABOUT THE HOME
Originally two cabins joined by artist and former Penland director Bill Brown Sr the home now features two suites and an open, light-filled living area. Many original railings and details remain, including a Doug Sigler-designed kitchen. Its passive-solar design captures warmth and sunlight year-round, framing mountain views from every room. The home features commissioned artwork and handmade pieces that reflect the area’s craft heritage.
⸻
VISITING IN THE OFF-SEASON: Winter views are breathtaking! Trails and waterfalls are quiet and serene. Some businesses adjust hours mid-December through February, but others offer pop-ups, events, and winter menus. If you’d like help deciding whether the off-season fits your plans, just ask—we’re happy to help.
⸻
CHILDREN: Children are welcome! This is a home, not a museum, but we ask parents to be attentive—move delicate items or cords out of reach as needed for safety.

DRIVEWAY
+ The gravel drive can be steep for some vehicles that are especially low to the ground, such as a Corvette. The owners have a truck and a typical sedan and have no trouble getting up the driveway. Guests may park on the lower part of the driveway if they would prefer. Four-wheel drive is not required, but if you are renting a vehicle, this option might be a good choice for the mountains - especially in winter.
Located off state maintained roads just 15 minutes from shopping & exploring in Spruce Pine, Burnsville, and Bakersville, and just 48 miles from Asheville, Conley House is a modern mountain gem with lots to do!

ABOUT THE CABIN
+ Conley House was originally 2 cabins with a courtyard in between. The owner, Bill Brown Sr later turn the cabins into 2 suites with an open floor plan living space between for him and his family. Bill Brown was director of Penland School after Lucy Morgan, the founder, retired. Railings and many other details are original to the home. The kitchen was made by well known woodworker, Doug Sigler. The cabin is filled with natural light in every room with each door framing the view. The home was designed to be passive solar, so it is not uncommon to be able to leave the doors open on warmer days in February. The abundance of light makes the home a cheery place that is very relaxing. We have filled the house with commissioned and original artwork that we have collected over the years. We hope it inspires you!
_____
VISITING IN THE OFF-SEASON
+ Views in winter are amazing! Hiking the Roan or to waterfalls can be spectacular with almost no one else on the trail. However, in winter (usually mid-December through February or mid-March) some businesses keep different hours or even close, while others do creative things like popup restaurants and special winter openings. If you are concerned about what might be available please ask us. We'd be happy to assist you in deciding if visiting in the off-season would be a good fit.
_____
CHILDREN:
Children are welcome. The house is a home not a museum, so it can be a great place for families. We ask that parents be attentive, putting objects out of reach that may cause a problem or be damaged, putting delicate items are cords out of reach. A number of kid-friendly items such as a cutlery and plates, sippy cups, pack and play, highchair, etc. are available in the cabin.
