Great mountain retreat

Great property with nice mountain views. It's a good balance between feeling secluded without feeling cutoff from civilization. The house was well stocked with kitchen stuff, coffee, and toiletries. The owners were incrediblly responsive when we were confused about something and messaged them. The driveway can be tricky to get up, especially in the dark. Close by access to the Big baldy mountain trail that connects with the Appalachian Trail and goes to the a mountain summit with great 360° mountain views. The blue ridge Parkway is also not too far away (45 mins drive).

Breathtaking views and neighborhood !

My family and I come to the mountains every year and this is by far the most beautiful neighborhood and mountain we have been too. The drive up the mountain is filled with beautiful views, deer that are more like dogs they just look at you and go about their day! The house is cozy, clean and comfy ! We had snow on the first day and the house stayed so warm with the fire place ! Our daughter is almost two and the gates in the home made us feel very safe inside and on the deck ,great job guys!! Well stocked for everything you might need, the owner was beyond helpful and we won’t forget his kindness. Adorable general store for any small grocery item you might need or just a cup of coffee, spa is next to it .. I hope to try that next time. We also got to snowboard! Awesome mountain right down the road. You won’t be disappointed in choosing this wonderful place. Thank you!

A Cozy Getaway

We had a wonderful time staying at this cabin. The main living space was comfortable, and the open kitchen and living room made it easy to socialize while cooking. The kitchen was well equipped, and the beds were comfy. The owner, Giles, even decorated for the holidays, which was very cute. We used the fireplace a lot and loved it -- a fire to insulate against the chill outside was incredible. The proximity to the Appalachian Trail was also amazing. A short drive (or walk) to an access point was easy. And the one-mile hike up to the Big Bald Lookout, while a little strenuous, featured 360-degree views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. So worth it, and so close! The only unexpected detail was that while the downstairs bathroom did have a jetted tub (as per the listing), it did not have a shower. There were four people in our party, and everyone using the upstairs bathroom shower worked just fine. But if more people were occupying the home, that share could be a potential challenge depending on personal preference. All in all, we had a wonderful, wonderful time. Thanks so much to Giles for sharing his home.

About the host

Hosted by Giles G (Terry) Childress

I grew up nestled between the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountain ranges in southwest part of Virginia, became an engineer (Thank you Virginia Tech!) moved to Charlotte NC metro area and lived the last 40+ years, now retired and enjoying some leisure and especially the mountains.

Why they chose this property

I bought the cabin in 2018 to enjoy long and short getaways, preferring the solitude and remoteness and to take in the natural beauty; and only began renting it out in 2022. It is rustic, cozy, and comfortable, yet with all the modern comforts I need (well appointed kitchen, internet, SmartTV, electric mattress warmers for the winter, plenty of kitchen and bathroom supplies).

I love enjoying time up here with friends and family without the daily distractions of home. Indeed, its quality time here. The rustic aroma you sense walking into the cabin the first time will melt the stress away. I looked at about 8-9 homes before settling on this cabin; of the homes I looked at, this one just felt right for all the reasons above.

I can open the windows on the creekside of the cabin and listen to the soothing sound while taking in the spectacular views, both short range and long range from the Queen Bedroom or just sitting on the deck at 4800 feet.

Deer and wild turkey routinely walk through the property.

What makes this property unique

The home is a real log cabin and positioned high elevation (4800 feet) near Big Bald Mountain and the AT and has a small creek running through the middle of the property, all while having a southeasterly exposure toward the Blue Ridge mountains including Mt. Mitchell about 35 miles away. The property has extensive boulder landscaping along the driveway and parking area and in front of the cabin. The views of the stars and galaxy on a clear night are spectacular.
