This is our new GuestHouse!

Our guest house suffered damage during Helene. What a bummer. It had a tree fall on the roof, and it needs a new roof, 4 new rafters, new ceiling… We are sad this happened and also we feel lucky that things are not worse. The house is being repaired and we will be able to welcome guests in February- if you are thinking of being here for Penland’s Spring Concentration, reach out to me about availability.

Sitting on the hill just above the glass shop, pottery studio, and our residence, our guest house is a sweet and modern space. Built in 2023, this clean, cozy, and bright abode boasts a spectacular view of the Black Mountains.

Guests are greeted by an open floor plan. The house features all-new appliances, ensuring convenience and efficiency. The bedroom, adorned with a queen bed featuring a premium natural latex, organic wool, and cotton mattress, guarantees a restful night's sleep. For additional sleeping options, a loft with a roll-out floor mat is available.

Our guest house is not only Green Built, but also Energy Star certified. Thanks to Equinox Woodworks for this beautiful build. The house draws power from the glass shop, which is powered in large part by our solar panels. A healthy, environmentally-friendly space is important to us. We use organic and eco-friendly products wherever possible, from towels to sheets to cleaning materials and trash bags.

The spacious porch has an excellent view of the Black Mountains. Enjoy the lounge chairs or the picnic table and take in our beautiful spot. For those returning from Penland classes or exploring nearby swim spots, we have an outdoor shower. There is also a fire pit in the yard for your enjoyment.

As our guest, you have access to the entire house and the surrounding area. We ask for your understanding in keeping our home, situated down the hill, as a private space. Our showroom is open daily, and we welcome visitors to our studios by appointment. Please contact us to schedule a showroom visit or studio tour.

We look forward to hosting you.
