Step inside A Touch of Whimsy, and you’ll know instantly this is not your typical home. Bright, modern, and full of charm, this thoughtfully designed retreat was created for connection, comfort, and just the right amount of delight. Every corner has been curated with care, from the locally sourced art to the airy layout that makes room for gathering and unwinding in equal measure.

At the heart of the home is a spacious great room made for conversation and quiet moments alike. There’s a cozy fireplace, plush seating, and natural light pouring through large windows that blur the line between indoors and out. The open kitchen is both beautiful and functional, anchored by a stunning quartzite island and custom cabinetry in soft aqua blue. With room for ten at the built-in dining table and four more at the island, every meal feels like a celebration whether it’s a homemade feast or takeout from town.

Beyond the living area, double sliding glass doors lead to one of the home’s most inviting spaces: a covered outdoor lounge designed for all seasons. Relax by the gas fireplace, sip coffee in the cool mountain air, or head down to the wood-burning fire pit to roast marshmallows and catch the stars. And when the day winds down, the hot tub offers the perfect place to soak it all in.

Inside the detached garage, you’ll find a fully finished game room that brings out the playful side of your mountain escape. There’s a pool table, foosball, vintage arcade, and a well-traveled antique bar that has as much personality as the space itself. A full bathroom and an upstairs loft-style bedroom add both comfort and flexibility.

Back inside the main home, three beautifully appointed bedrooms each offer main floor access, their own private bath, blackout shades, and the kind of softness that makes you want to sleep in. The primary suite feels especially serene with its vaulted ceiling and private sunroom; part reading nook, part nap retreat, and fully equipped for working remotely if needed. There’s even a swinging daybed where you can sneak in a few chapters or answer emails with a view. Whether you’re traveling as a family or sharing the space with friends, the layout gives everyone room to relax, recharge, and make it their own.

Located just a short drive from downtown Blue Ridge, A Touch of Whimsy is easily accessible and sits in a quiet, gated neighborhood. It's ideally close to hiking trails, waterfalls, local wineries, and some of the area’s best shopping and dining. But more than anything, it’s a place to slow down, share good food and great stories, and enjoy the kind of moments that don’t need a reason.

I don't even know how to start. This was the most perfect weekend. We loved that the house had so much to offer that we did not even need to leave except to explore the local restaurants and breweries. So much was dog friendly, afterall they are part of the family! The house was absolutely beautiful, clean and I don't think it lacked any amenity I could even think of. We loved it! And, we would highly recommend it and using "Escape to Blue Ridge". Thank you!

Fall Break
We watched football at the house, went in the hot tub, visited downtown Blue Ridge and went to the Arts Festival. We made a fire in the fire pit.

Girls Trip!
We just hung out, laughed, visited, a spa trip, ate out and shopped. Had fun visiting with shop owners and wait staff. Downtown is full of neat shops, my favorite shop was Rhapsody in Blue. Had so much fun hanging out with neat ladies! This place was very lovely and comfortable. It was equipped with everything needed. A fabulous place to relax and enjoy life!
