We have a great cabin with a backdrop of the Blue Ridge Parkway in a gated community in the North Carolina Highlands. The motorcycle riding up here is awesome! It is in a quiet area where the development has not reached much yet. MUCH less traffic than around the Dragon, and extremely twisty. The Snake, Hwy 421, is not far away, and make a part of a great day ride loop. I'll be glad to give you some route tips. I gave up on the Dragon after riding up here...
The cabin is located on a ridgetop with excellent views. Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are all near by. You can see awesome sunsets off the back deck, hike around an 80 foot waterfall, or fish in a community pond (the kids love this). You can also ride ATVs on the 120 miles of trails on the grounds of the community, or just hang out and swap tales around the outdoor fire pit or indoor fire place. For those not into riding, the local shopping is great, there are lots of artisans in the Blowing Rock area. You can also tour the regional wineries, as NC is starting re-build a great network of them.
