About the host
Hosted by Shelley
Hi! I'm Shelley! I am so excited to share my historic log cabin with you! I love the area and I hope you do too! I like to give my guests the privacy to enjoy their space, but feel free to reach out if you need anything! There is also a digital guidebook that will be sent to you that will answer all of your questions as well as provide recommendations on things to do and where to eat!
Why they chose this property
Just because you’re living in a log cabin doesn’t mean you have to compromise on convenience! This cabin is centrally located to just about everything in the area! Banner Elk, Boone, and Valle Crucis are all only a 10-minute drive away. There are plenty of activities and attractions such as:
✔ Summer activities like fishing on the Watauga River, hiking Grandfather Mountain, horseback riding, white water rafting, mountain biking, aerial playgrounds, and zip-lining at Seven Devils
✔ Winter activities like skiing at Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain or Appalachian Ski Mountain and tubing at Seven Devils
✔ Restaurants, groceries, bars, coffee shop, day spa, hair salon, vineyard, hiking trails, park and playground are all only a 5-min drive away!

What makes this property unique
Built in 1848, this log cabin retreat offers a wooded mountain experience like no other! Located at the foot of Grandfather Mountain, come escape from the stresses of everyday busyness and live your best life from the comforts of this historic log cabin! There’s great cellphone signal here but this is an opportunity to put down the phones and embrace some time with Mother Nature!
Guests can find this property easily off the main road. The lot is flat so even in the winter time, there should be no problems accessing the property.
You will have access to this entire property including all amenities with the exception of a tiny house that’s located 35 yards to the left of the cabin. This is rented out separately so there’s a chance you may bump into some of our other guests but don’t worry, there’s plenty of space for everyone! If you’d like to rent out this second space to accommodate larger groups, let us know.
