Runs of S-curves climb and twist sharply as they snake through lush green forest in route to the Blue Ridge Parkway just above Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Sweeping curves, amazing scenery and cool mountain breezes make the Diamondback, NC 226A, one of western NC's last great mountain roadways. Take a drive along the Diamondback for a fun drive and beautiful views.

Summary: It was very clean and very well appointed. We travel with a container of stuff that is usually not found in the kitchen and I don’t think we needed anything from it. The property was just as described and we enjoyed hearing the babbling brook and sitting by the pond. The only thing missing was any wildlife, no ducks or any other critter. We used the grill and the fire pit and made s’mores.
