We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the cabin. Our dogs loved running off leash across the 100 acres. Very quiet and secluded. Pond has some good fishing (blue gill and smallmouth). James (host) was great at communicating when I had questions. Would absolutely book this property again.

1st time we have been alone like that in a very long time. It was wonderful. My wife feared the road in and I loved it. We found enough things to see and do near by, but loved the alone time the best.

We loved our stay and the property was perfect. Beautiful, secluded, private, lots of space to roam. The host was extremely responsive and the cabin had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Perfect place for some much needed R&R. Our dogs loved their freedom and room to roam. Highly recommend for time to relax and enjoy nature. We hope to stay here again soon!

We had a great time and really enjoyed the peace and quite. We enjoyed coffee on the porch each morning and got to see deer, rabbit, humming birds and a wild turkey. It had all the comforts of home including a charcoal grill that we used. I was happy to disconnect from wi-fi a few days and just enjoy the outdoors. The stocked pond was just a short walk and we caught a couple fish. Our 2 dogs loved the big yard to run around and play, I would definitely go back again.

This was an absolutely wonderful vacation spot if you want to get away, unplug and not be disturbed. It is not an ideal spot if you have a car because the drive way up is steep, rocky and trench laden...maybe a few photos of that part of the trip would be helpful to prospective travelers. But Jim tells about that once you're on your way. My hubby abd I would definetly return because it was exactly the tranquility that and sensory unwind that we were hoping for and needed.

The road to get to the cabin, I would definitely recommend 4x4. The house was very spacious and the pond was nice. I love how the hot tub is apart of the front porch, so you just step into it vs having to step over it. It was worth the 4:30 drive

Very relaxing property. Our dog (and us) loved the pond. We saw many deer in the mornings. The road to get to the property was not at all daunting with our AWD Subaru.

Perfect mountain getaway

Beautiful and peaceful location with cozy accommodations. Thoroughly enjoyed both the location in one of the most tranquil spots you will find east of the Mississippi. I rarely get a chance to getaway and cannot think of a better place to have been to enjoy that time. Great proximity to Banner Elk and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

About the host

Hosted by James Rice JR

Host profile image
I am originally from North Carolina and Diana is from New York . We met and married in South Florida.Its the classic tale of country boy meets city girl and the rest is history. We have 4 grown children and 5 grandchildren who we love spending time with. We enjoy nature and the great outdoors which is the main reason that we purchased Doublehead Mountain Retreat and the more than 100 acres of wild mountain land around it.

Why they chose this property

While growing up in a small North Carolina town as a child we took frequent trips to the NC mountains to enjoy the cool mountain air as well as the endless activities including fishing, hiking,caving and tubing -rafting down the numerous area rivers. When I first saw this property and Its seclusion I knew that this would be the place that our family would enjoy and make many memories.We are within walking distance to several caves, waterfalls and stocked trout streams as well as being able to enjoy our own 1 acre pond right in front of our cabin. Our cabin is also a short drive to many of the High Country attractions including Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, Mount Mitchell( Highest Elevation east of the Mississippi River), Beech and Sugar Mountain Ski Resorts and many white water rafting and ziplining excursions.

What makes this property unique

The reason I love this place is the seclusion and remoteness of this property. Although there are a few other cabins in the area ,you cant see any from our cabin. We are not in a development not subject to any rules and regulations.(Jim)
To be able to unplug and decompress in nature without WiFI/Internet (I begged Jim not to have a TV, but I lost that fight...lol) puts life back into perspective and grounds you to what`s really important in life, being one with our Creator through the amazing natural creations that we take for granted and to truly connect w/ your love ones in peace and tranquility. Plus it is a great place to write and take nature pictures!!~Diana
