About this property

Ruffinit at Buck Mountain-Breathtaking Views, Large Deck w/SIP, Wifi!

Ruffinit has it all! Sitting on top of 2.8 acres, it is in a very private location with nothing but silence around you. Enjoy the long range mountain views from the screened in porch or the oversized deck.

Ruffinit cabin is really not ruffing it! It is extremely comfortable with all the amenities from home including broadband internet. The cabin inside is constructed in beautiful tongue and groove yellow pine and has been furnished and equipped with everything you need for a great vacation. Main floor bedrooms recently got new hardwood floors, some photos may show carpet. The pottery, pictures and knickknack's all go together to give you a very 'homey' feeling.

On this mountain, there is also a fishing pond, beautiful waterfalls, hiking trails and an outdoor pavilion. Please follow all neighborhood posted signs and rules. Renters assume all liability and risk while using neighborhood amenities.

Currently Buck Mountain is experiencing a drought as of 2024 (it takes about 2 years for rain to get to the well). We have had some guest run out of water in the house after taking long showers but is rare as of Oct 2024. Water will regenerate within minutes but long baths are not possible. We also supply the drinking water and water for flushing in case water does run out during your stay. Again it will come back slowly within minutes.

Great Local Area attractions as of Oct 7, 2024 include:
Scott Kerr Dam Lake - 15 minutes- Swim Beaches, Boat Rentals, Frisbee Golf, etc

Don't worry about steep curvy roads! This cabin is very easy to get to, driving only 8 miles west of Wilkesboro NC or 15 miles east of Boone NC off of Hwy 421. All of our roads in the neighborhood were spared from any Hurricane Helene damage and are safe to travel. For those coming from Charlotte, our cabin is only an hour and a half away. From the Raleigh Durham area you are under 3 hours!

About the host

Hosted by Mick & Aynsley Zulpo

Host profile image
Our family fell in love with Buck Mountain in 2007 when we bought a vacation home. After years of making the drive from Fuquay Varina for holidays and weekends we decided full time was for us! We live here now full time, and love all the area has to offer. We wanted to share the memories we were creating with others, and decided to buy another property to rent mid 2020. Most weekends you will find us on the mountain as well enjoying all it has to offer with our two boys and two dogs! We also own The Block in N. Wilkesboro! If you are looking for a fun day in downtown N. Wilkesboro come see us to jump at our trampoline, ninja warrior, Roller skating, arcade, Goofy Golf and toddler park! We also own The Lost Wombat Restaurant in downtown North Wilkesboro that has a large playground and yard. We also co-own a charming 93 year old movie theatre, the Liberty Theatre! We show all first run movies for just $5.00! And opening Summer 2025 Wisdom Brewing also in downtown North Wilkesboro. Come enjoy downtown North Wilkesboro when you visit WNC.

Why they chose this property

Ruffinit gives renters the option of taking day trips around the high country, or just sitting back enjoying the view. Ruffinit sits in the middle of 3 great mountain towns. North Wilkesboro, West Jefferson and Boone all 30 minute drive. With all the hiking trails, waterfalls and picnic/hammocks on the mountain you may not want to leave!
