About this property

Cabin in Wonderful Mountaintop Setting

Welcome to Breathe Easy!

Breathe Easy is a chic log cabin offering rustic elegance with a designer flair in a wonderful mountaintop setting. The home has impressive long-range views including a straight-on view of the famous Grandfather Mountain. Unlike many mountain homes, Breathe Easy has a relaxed, flat yard area around the home with easy parking and turnaround. The home is built with reclaimed barn wood and has fine woodwork, leather furniture, interesting antiques, and designer finishes. The outdoor space features a walkout fire pit and a comfortable sitting area in the front yard with a rocking chair front porch.

Breathe Easy is located just minutes from the famous Mast General Store in scenic Valle Crucis and the Valle Crucis Community Riverfront Park. The home is about 10 minutes from Boone. Close by attractions includes Tweetsie Railroad theme park, Grandfather Mountain, Sugar Mountain Ski Area, Appalachian Ski Mountain, Hawks Nest Zip Line and Snow Tubing, High Gravity Adventures Climbing Park, Wahoo's Whitewater Rafting, and much more.

Breathe Easy is accessed by a steep paved driveway. It is plowed in the wintertime. As with all our homes, 4WD and tire chains are necessary for Winter access to this property. In Summer, the home is accessible with 2WD, but guests should be prepared for a steep climb.

Must be at least 25 years of age to book.

Perfect Family Getaway

We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Breath Easy! The cabin is truly perfect, we have 3 young boys, and they had the best time, and I am sure it is a vacation they will remember forever. Every detail is thought out, and the owner is so kind. The location of the cabin is also really nice, with only being a short drive to town. We hope to be back one day!

Time to Breath Easy

Exactly what we needed. Time to disconnect from the world and reconnect as a family. So peaceful to sit and listen to nature. Watched the fog roll through the valley. Home is very comfortable and has everything you could need. Beds are very comfortable. We had a wonderful weekend and plan to come back.

Breathe just a little Easier

A perfect fall trip. We wanted to visit Western NC and contribute a little something after the storms. Town of Boone and Blowing Rock were our most frequent destinations and easy to get to from our cabin. Owners were awesome and Cabin was just incredible. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place

Best Mountain Getaway Experience Ever

If we could give this an extra star we would. We are frequent travelers to the mountains of North Carolina and this is by far the best rental experience we have had. The cabin is beautifully decorated and cozy, the view is stunning, and the location is amazing. Additionally, the owners treat their guests as if they were friends or family. We will definitely be back and we will be recommending this location to our friends. Mnfamily..

Fantastic place

This place is a great place to stay. The house is nestled on top of a mountain with a great view of neighboring Grandfather Mountain. All the appliances are new and everything was super clean and laid out well and loved that everything was labeled to help figure out whats what. The hosts are nice as they live on the same driveway and are very welcoming and accommodating if you need something. Its super close to Boone via a 10 minute drive and Blowing Rock via a 20 minute drive. We will definitely return to this wonderful place

Special place

Yes, this cabin is as amazing as it looks in the pictures, and then some! It was spotless and very comfortable. We enjoyed every moment here playing games, having smores and exploring. We even got to see some fireflies and had a couple of visits from deer. The view is truly spectacular and it is obvious with every detail that the owners have created an absolute dream. We found the location to be perfect for exploring Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock and Boone, many great hiking trails, zipline, alpine coaster and more. Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to just relax and enjoy this special place. We are so glad we did and hope to return!

Trip of a Lifetime!

My husband and i took our daughter here to celebrate her 13th birthday! This will be the vacation we talk about for years to come. Our family has never seen snow and it was all i wanted for my daughters birthday. We got snow and it was absolutely magical! The owners live a few feet from the cabin and they went above and beyond to accomodate us. They truly made our dream come true. The property was absolutely stunning and perfect for families. Everything was perfect. The place was so clean and you walk through the door put your stuff down and immediatley felt at home. The name of the property fits...you just Breathe Easy. Anyone considering this cabin book now you will not regret it! We cant wait to go back!!!!

It was absolutely magical. It was a beautiful view however the interior of the cabin was just amazing. The work that went into this cabin was meticulous and so well done. We stayed 4 days which wasn’t nearly enough. We hope to return for at least a week. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay and Russell and Christy were amazing.

Absolutely fabulous

I rented the cabin for myself, my daughter and three grandchildren. We absolutely loved it. It was an amazing spot with a beautiful view. We enjoyed much of the time outside. The children enjoyed the treehouse. We had a fire in the fire pit. Wood was available to buy on site. The house was cozy and comfortable. So welcoming when we arrived after a day of travel. We visited area spots, including grandfather, mountain, Tweetsie, and Mast General store. It was wonderful to come home to our cozy place.The basement with all the games, including air hockey, foosball table, and ping-pong was also much appreciated. I certainly hope to visit again.
Beautiful view of grandfather Mountain.

Great getaway location

Terrific place for a family getaway. Outdoor play area and basement games were a huge hit with the kids (5 and 8). Peaceful location close to hiking and a few charming towns.It's worth noting that the upstairs bedroom isn't completely closed off from the downstairs living area, so we upgraded the kids to the master bedroom to help bedtime go smoothly.Definitely would stay again!

Perfect getaway

Our family loved this little gem of a cabin! The views are amazing and in a great location to get around the area. The kids particularly loved the tree house and the ping pong table. We didn't feel like we had to schedule many activities because just being at the cabin was enough to keep them busy. We'll be back!

Perfect Escape!

Our family really enjoyed staying at “Breathe Easy” for the Veteran’s Day weekend 2024. It is beautiful inside and out! The cabin was cozy and beautifully decorated, very clean, and fully stocked with cookware, towels, plenty of bedding and blankets. The game area in the basement was an added plus for family fun. The outside had an incredible view of grandfather mountain with a great fire pit. Fire wood available right on the premises was also great. The owners who lived next door were very friendly people and we loved getting to know them. This felt like home away from home and we definitely will be coming back! Thank you for such a beautiful cabin. Jo-Ann & Michael
