About this property

Simply Irresistible: Authentic Log Cabin

The mountain views and privacy this genuine log cabin offers are irresistible. From the quaint drive along a country road through the woods, you will often pass cattle before you are welcomed with the site of hand-made rocking chairs and hot tub on a full porch. Once inside, you will feel warm and cozy surrounded by 200 year old timber walls, comfortable furniture, and a gas-burning fireplace. The kitchen is large and very well-equipped for cooking, baking, and gathering together. The main floor master bedroom offers a luxurious king size bed, while a second bedroom offers a queen bed. Upstairs you’ll find a large bedroom with two twin beds and one queen bed, as well as an en suite bathroom with a beautiful slipper tub. While rustic in decor, this cabin offers all the modern amenities for those who still need connection: fast WI-FI, unlimited domestic phone service, and satellite TV. Approx 30 minutes (19mi) to Boone or Jefferson (22mi), and only 22 minutes to Mountain City, TN (11mi). Approx. One Hour (33 miles) to popular ski hills. There are three security cameras on the property, covering the front yard, back yard, and front door.

Relaxing and accommodating

The cabin was perfect for our girl’s trip with 6 adults. It was very well equipped with things we needed. The host was quick to respond with the minor trouble we had with the lock upon arrival. We would stay again without hesitation.

AMAZING!!!

Let me just say, the pictures don’t even do this place justice. My family and I sworn Christmas here and it was all we could have ever wanted and more. The cabin is charming, clean and just secluded enough. Host was attentive, kind and made our stay feel extra special. If you’re looking for a cabin in NC, I couldn’t recommend this place more. We will absolutely be back :)

peaceful and private

My wife and I stayed at this cabin in 2021 and decided to go back in 2024. My Wife claimed the sun room as before. The set up is good for us. The kitchen is large with lots of counter space and all the appliances are in good order. The grill and hot tub were upgraded since our prior visit. We had another excellent experience and would not hesitate to book this property again! The view is great and the privacy is also. Our 2 dogs had a good time also.

The pictures for this property do not do it justice. My partner and I and our two dogs had more room than we needed and had an incredible time here. Any questions we had were answered very promptly and we had no issues whatsoever. We would absolutely stay here again.

Mountain Getaway

The cabin was as described in the listing. There were lots of dead flies along the window sills in the kitchen and in the sunroom area. The rest of the house was clean and beds were comfortable. The living room furniture could stand to be replaced just due to everyday wear and tear- worn out. The property is great but be prepared to travel a minimum of 45 minutes if you need anything. Overall great stay.

Mountain Life

The cabin was beautiful as well as its surroundings, absolutely breathtaking!! We drove over to visit our daughter in Boone the only drawback was the excessive distance between Boone and Creston, otherwise it was an excellent stay.

Honestly Magical

We loved everything about this stay. Pictures don't do it justice! Property was clean and well maintained, spacious enough for our extended family of 5, and just absolutely beautiful. Kitchen and hottub were special highlights. 35minutes from both Boone and West Jefferson, and easy to just relax into the home and land. Visits from cows were an added perk!

Relaxing get-away

Beautiful house and property. We loved sitting on the front porch and watching the ever changing view of the mountains. Everything was so lush and green with lots of wildflowers, we picked bouquets to put on the table. The lane by the house was great for daily walks. Loved the sounds of the brook. We took lots of hikes and explored some of the little towns nearby. Just an all around lovely vacation.

Quiet Peaceful Getaway

This was not my first time coming to the cabin, but was a first with close friends and we loved it! We are in a job where we are constantly plugged in so it was SO nice to be unplugged surrounded by beauty here. Jenn was quick to respond to our message and the cabin was cozy and super clean. We LOVED talking about the old photos of the original cabin.

Wonderful, Clean and Restorative Stay

Cool space, nicely maintained, and really clean. Loved the peace and quiet. We really enjoyed the hot tub, cooking in the large kitchen, and sitting in the sunroom or on the front porch. It rained all weekend, and we still had a great time hanging out in the space. Owners were very responsive.We would stay again and highly recommend.

This is a great place to stay if you want to relax. I especially liked the "sunroom". The furniture and decor was comfy and cozy. The trip to town/store is a bit far but we took everything we needed. Thank you so much for letting us stY in your beautiful home

Amazing!!!

By far, the most incredible place I've stayed! Secluded, quiet and totally amazing. The cabin is comfortable, enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to have space, perfect for our family getaway. My favorite space has to be the kitchen, more than enough room to cook, hang out, and sit down and have a family meal together. Great memories made, trails and woods explored and we are totally in love with this spot. Communication with Jennifer was over the top great! The only downside was having to leave We wish this was our home

Perfect vacation.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. Everything was described exactly the way it was and the owner, Jennifer, was fantastic when I needed to speak with her. Communication was amazing. I love the location because it’s away from everyone and we can enjoy ourselves without any sound from other folks. Just a perfect time.

Just what we needed

We were looking for a property for the weekend where we could explore, relax and have fun with the whole family. Our family of 5 and dog had a blast when it snowed! We walked and were sled riding for most of the day. The view from the front room and porch were amazing and I found the whole weekend very calming and grounding. Everything at the house was as advertised and communication with Jenn was easy and timely. Thanks for a great long weekend!
