About this property

Tranquil Log Cabin in Private Mountain Setting with Hot Tub

Located in the beautiful John River Gorge, between Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain, GLOBE VALLEY RANCH is 'where the pavement ends' and your dream vacation begins. Our family began our dream of building quaint mountain cabins with the purchase of 117 acres on the Johns River in 2005. The Johns River and the Pisgah National Forest border our property and offer a beautiful, tranquil setting to be enjoyed in all seasons!

We proudly offer our brand new hand hewed log cabin with 2 bedrooms and a loft with 2 single beds. A wonderful six seater hot tub sits on the back deck of the cabin. We rent on a daily or weekly basis. In addition, we have built a 36x36 timber frame barn with a BBQ area and play area. We invite you to listen and observe the abundant wildlife on our pristine acreage and enjoy total relaxation on the covered front porch that overlooks 'Bear Hollow Creek'. You may also enjoy a hike down by the Johns River to 'wet a hook'. Our vacation destination offers a wide range of outdoor activities for the adventure enthusiasts during spring, summer, fall or winter.

There are other rental units on the property, VRBO # 640172 .

Beautiful Cabin, Gorgeous Setting

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cabin. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving holiday. We especially enjoyed the large fireplace in the evenings. We’re hoping to return in the summer to explore the surrounding property and nearby hiking trails.

Beautiful cabin and location in the mountains was perfect with seclusion. Host was more than accomodating with home supplies as well as wood. Beds were comfortable and kitchen fully stocked. Hot tub was clean and wonderful. There was even a pile of wood stacked for our first fire. Cabin was very clean and nicely decorated. We had a wonderful weekend with family and friends. My furbabies loved the land as we walked with them on several occasions and the creek. Highly recommend. For traveling there, GPS took us on Global road which is mostly gravel with drop offs and such but there are other roads that can be taken to get to the property which is worth looking into if you dont like those types of roads.

A true gem!!

This was our 4th stay at Globe Valley Ranch and it never fails to impress. The property is absolutely beautiful! We spent lots of time playing in the creek by the house and the river down by the barn. The house has all the comforts of home and the owners are wonderful. We were all sad to leave but already planning the next trip. Thank you to the Murphy's for sharing this amazing place with us!!

2nd Visit Was Just as Magical

We LOVE this cabin! It’s our second stay there and we’ll probably go back again. Very peaceful with a stream out front. The hot tub is great for sore muscles after hiking. No cars, people, etc. to be heard. Ms. Corrine is so sweet and helpful. Highly recommend!

Perfect for outdoors and true nature. We had a "Wood Fairy" to visit us and the kids didn't have any screens on until movie time before bed.

Beautiful, quiet and renewing. Just what we pictured and needed

Everything was clean and ready for us. Very clear instructions for the property and hot tub. We took our small dog and enjoyed exploring the trails in the woods and playing in the river. We fished, relaxed in the hot tub and read, rocked and relaxed on the front porch. It was just what we were hoping for and couldn't have asked for a nicer stay. Thank you very much for the well cared for property.

Secluded Mountain Cabin

Overall, everything was as advertised. This cabin is very secluded and is about 30 minutes from a store of any kind. The drives into nearby towns like Linville and Blowing Rock travel along narrow gravel roads up the sides of mountains. The kids loved playing in the small creek in the front of the cabin. We were able to catch some trout on the John's River. This is a great place to relax. The cabin is well stocked with items, but not everything. I would suggest bringing all of your supplies just incase (the cabin was stocked with everything but TP). I would definitely go back.

Secluded and tranquil - probably romantic but also great for loud dogs and kids 😆

It rained the entire time we were there, so we didn’t get to explore the woods area like we wanted to, but the house had everything you could need. It was clean, good layout, plenty of games etc to entertain the children, and the woods around the home are just beautiful. The creek out front was so relaxing and my kids loved it. Fair warning - the internet was super slow while we were there (prob due to the rain), but I wanted my kids off their iPads anyway so it was no big deal. We left feeling very relaxed and chill. Would love to stay again! One request - a wheel on the gate would make opening/closing it sooo much easier 🙂 Excellent property!

It was exactly what we were looking for. A cabin in the woods that was away from other people and the noise that comes in the city or surrounding communities. We were able to truly relax, disconnect, and just listen to the sounds of nature all around us. Highly recommend if this is the kind of experience you are looking for.

Exactly as described, perfect in every way. Quiet, private, and beautiful. Well stocked with necessities, incredibly comfortable and just what we needed. My adult son is disabled and sometimes when his routine is disrupted he can be difficult and grumpy. But the peace of the place seemed to work wonders with him. He was so happy the whole time, so that means I was able to relax, too.

Outstanding cabin

Beautiful cabin, very clean and well stocked. It's a perfect setting for those that want peace, tranquility and maybe some fishing. Driving into town (Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock) not the most pleasant but the beauty of this cabin well surpassed that.

Summer Mountain Vacation

Globe Valley Ranch was an amazing experience. The cabin was spacious, with all the amenities of home. Hot tub was perfect to relax in after a day of hiking and exploring. Sitting and having a cup of coffee every morning on the porch while listening to the creek was wonderful. Exceptional communication, and we checked-in/checked-out with ease. We look forward to coming back to the ranch soon!

Amazing !!!

Great property and cabin with beautiful front porch overlooking a stream. We loved sitting out on the porch listening to the sounds of the water running over the rocks.The cabin is fully stocked with everything we needed. The space is clean and secluded. The weather was cool so we enjoyed using the fireplace and hot tub. The property is beautiful with 8 acres on the Johns River, which our dogs love swimming in. We also enjoyed exploring the trails on the property. The hosts are very helpful and we thank them for sharing their home. We can’t wait to come back again!!

Excellent mountain retreat

The house was large and clean. While it ended up raining so we did not use the fire pit, plenty of wood was provided. The hot tub was well kept and very much appreciated. Also the River cannot be undersold. It was an excellent little swimming hole just a bit of a walk across the property. The creek was also really nice to out our feet into and added to the ambiance of sitting on the large front porch but definitely not a swimming spot.

Beautiful Cabin and Property

The cabin was so clean! The place was beautifully laid out, had comfortable beds, a relaxing large front porch with rockers in front of a mountain stream, a fire pit, a very nice grill/smoker (Texas offset barrel-style), and was very private. The property is like something out of a Robert Frost poem. The Johns River is breathtaking. I am a full-time pastor, so we really try to make vacations count, and this one was very special. Highly recommended.
