Welcome to Winds Aloft!
As the High Country reopens, we'd LOVE to host you this winter! Rates now through 3/31/2025 have already been reduced!!

"My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring, and carried aloft on the wings of the breeze." - Anne Bronté

Come discover a magical world in the heart of North Carolina's High Country. Sitting at a pristine 4,400 feet of elevation, our two bedroom, one-and-a-half bath authentic log home is the perfect place to unwind. As you adventure down the rhododendron covered stone path and onto the wrap around porch, panoramic views of Grandfather Mountain unfold behind our signature “slingshot” tree. There you can sit in our rocking chairs, swing, or hot tub while enjoying the clouds roll over the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains.

Inside you will find a welcoming and cozy living room equipped with a gas fireplace to watch Grandfather disappear in the evening sky through our large front-facing window. Enjoy needed down time around our dining room table with a meal prepared on a large gas grill or fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs, Winds Aloft boasts two bedrooms and a shared bath to rest after your travels. The spacious Master has a king bed with views out to the yard and mountains. Across the hall is the second bedroom with two twin beds and surrounding views of the mountains and woods.

Perfect for a small family getaway or intimate friends and couples retreat, Winds Aloft is within minutes of Grandfather Mountain, the famed Linn Cove Viaduct along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and incredible mountain golf. Here is the perfect place to take a break from everyday stress and enjoy the ancient and spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains.

A lot of things didn’t work or were inoperable, including the ice maker in the refrigerator freezer, the remote for the gas logs, no wifi or television usage whatsoever, mattress in the master bedroom needs to be replaced, paper towels stuffed into a hole in the wall underneath kitchen cabinets (in the corner), light can be seen through back door, many other general upgrades needed throughout cabin. Not nearly worth the cost of rental due to the overall disrepair of structure. The online pictures are very flattering when compared to actual product. Also, there’s some sort of critter or rodent residing behind the paneling or in the locked closet/storage area. We could hear its claws scratching and scurrying around throughout the weekend, enough to wake us from our sleep. Overall the only outstanding positives were the view and the hot tub.

Beautiful setting and cozy cabin.
The yard is so beautiful and the cabin is super comfortable. The cabin was clean, especially for a place that allows pets, but showing its’ age in some aspects. Air conditioning was truly not needed at the height of summer! The location is also perfect, super convenient to everything we needed and wanted to do, and the drives were easy. Thank you!

Peaceful stay nestled in the mountains
My husband and I's stay here was absolutely perfect. The cabin has a lot of charm and you can tell the owners put a lot of thought into the property. The highlight of our stay was watching the sunrise in the hot tub with warm cups of coffee. Love how private and quiet it is. We will definitely choose to stay here again!

Quiet with a beautiful view from the living room
Do not attempt to drive the last 1200 feet of the steep road to the cabin if there is snow or ice without a 4 wheel drive vehicle or SUV without snow chains, you will not make it. The cabin was great, quiet, comfortable, nice views, great yard, hot tub was awesome.

Wonderful rental cabin!
The view and hot tub were simply amazing. The location was perfect for our time hiking and visiting wineries. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed to cook meals and relax in the evening after hiking and exploring the area. The door lock went offline, and I had to call the after-hours maintenance number and they solved it and sent a new code immediately. We had a wonderful time, and I would recommend this rental.

We moved to Florida in January from North Carolina and were dying for some fall weather. This mountain cabin was the perfect setting for our fall getaway. We were able to easily get to Linville Falls and Grandfather Mountain to do some hiking. We really loved it here!

Great location and cabin but the hot tub was not working
This is a very nice cabin. There was a funny odor in the house. The hot tub, the main reason for selecting this property, was not working and could not be fixed - a leak apparently. So if the hot tub is working, this place is very nice.

Wonderful Summer Retreat at Winds Aloft
Our family will never forget our stay at Winds Aloft because on that trip we decided to move to North Carolina permanently! The cabin was perfect for us, very cozy. The only request I would have made was for the mattresses to be updated. Otherwise we loved everything and hope to come back again!
