We had a great stay at Ian’s place. Modern, comfortable decor and furnishings. The top floor sleeping space felt like being in a tree house. Very clean. Had everything we needed for our hiking trip to the area. Basic kitchen to keep breakfast and lunch supplies. Great neighborhood coffee shop very short walk (Pennycup). As others who stayed have said, the book of recommendations for drinks snd dinner couldn’t have been better. Our 3 hiking locations - the Balds of Roan Mountain, Cold Mountain & Looking Glass Rock - all easy drives from Ian’s. We would stay again.
