This was our 2nd stay at this cabin and we definitely will return! Comfortable and quiet. Peaceful setting, remote yet easy drive to Linville and Banner Elk. Host Mike makes the checkin/checkout a breeze. And he responds quickly to questions and requests.

Fantastic getaway! My husband and I stayed here with friends over 4th of July and we couldn't be happier. The cabin is beautiful and well stocked. The property is big and quiet - without a neighbor in site. We loved sitting out on the back deck relaxing, chatting, eating, and playing games. Property manager is VERY responsive and incredibly helpful. Location is super close to Boone, Banner Elk, Skiing, and Blowing Rock. Something for everyone!

The cabin itself is in a nice private area! We really enjoyed the quiet and private neighborhood. There was NO AC and we found the cabin hotter than outside so it was a little rough with the summer heat. There are lots of fans that are provided in the cabin though! Mike was an awesome host! Very responsive and helped give me some excursions recommendations! Would come back if it’s cooler outside!

Amazing Stay, Pictures don't do it justice. Exceptional Host

First things first, the host is absolutely amazing. Communication was excellent, gave tips on the area, always made sure we had what we needed and one of the easiest check out requirements we've had. The pictures do not do the place justice. The setting is amazing and the living room area is just spectacular. I am BIG on value and this smashed it.Location... It is about 25 minutes from Boone and about 25 minutes from Banner Elk and you guessed it, 25 minutes from Blocking Rock. HIGHLY suggest visiting all of them.Would book again and highly recommended. Book with confidence.

Peaceful retreat

We came here to get away of the daily urban life. We found exactly what we needed, a place so peaceful that you can hear only your own thoughts! Is very easy to find, yet so well hidden from the world. Thank you Michael for being so accommodating and welcoming.

Remote but yet close to attractions, shopping, restaraunts which was exactly what we wanted. Cabin was beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. Bed was firmer than what we are accustomed to but everyone has a personal preference. Host (Mike) was very helpful and everything was as described.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Burnette

Host profile image
My wife and I are recent retirees and now we split our time between the NC mountains and Raleigh.

Why they chose this property

We also have our private cabin on an adjoining 9 acre property next to Creekside, so any questions or otherwise we're only a couple of minutes away. We've been renting this cabin ourselves now for almost 15 years and probably half of our business is returning renters. One retired couple have rented from us in the summer months for 10 years, so we have a lot of clients that enjoy the privacy and location and return often.

What makes this property unique

Very private. Located between Boone and Banner Elk. Gated community of 200 acres with only about 25 cabins. Surrounded on 3 sides by US Parkland (Julian Price Park) and protected land owned by the Blue Ridge Land Conservancy. Property is at 3800-4000' elevation. Summers rarely get above 75-80 degrees during the day. Nights are cool and mosquito free. 15 minutes to Boone or Banner Elk. 30 minutes to Beech Mt or Blowing Rock. Winter skiing 10 minutes away at Sugar Mtn. or 30 minutes to Beech Mtn. Tubing 10 minutes just across the road at Seven Devils or Sugar.
