Discover CityViewNC.com's fresh updated look! | 19 A few years ago, Jim and Kay Jones decided they'd had enough of spending lots of time at the beach. e Fayetteville couple, both retired teachers, owned a vacation home at Holden Beach but aer experiencing skin issues, they were concerned about their sun exposure. ey were also tired of gritty sand. And they just wanted a change. So they sold their beach property and looked westward. ese days, they spend about half their time at their home in Fayetteville. e other half, they're at the home they bought nearly five years ago just outside of Blowing Rock. "We call it our beach cottage in the mountains," Kay joked. It's a good line but don't think for a second that there's anything remotely beachy about the comfortable 2-story home. It's clad in dark-stained logs, topped by a green roof and nestled among woods, rhododendrons and landscaping that meshes with the natural world all around. Lighter wood gleams inside – on the floors, the walls and across the soaring ceilings with their exposed beams. It's a stunning backdrop for their carefully chosen, eclectic mix of furnishings and décor, which fit into the Blue Ridge setting as perfectly as trout in a mountain stream. e overall effect is easy, cozy, welcoming and beautiful. "It's our personality," Kay said, when asked to describe the home's vibe. ey never would have imagined this house for themselves when they started looking for a home in Blowing Rock. For one thing, it had just three bedrooms. ey wanted a four- bedroom home to accommodate visits from their children and grandchildren.

Though signs such as ultra-low unemployment, a positive output gap, and rising interest rates continue to suggest the US is late-cycle, a general lack of overheating in key sectors, such as housing, and rising productivity suggest this late-cycle phase has more room to run.
