About this property

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 .

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.

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!!

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.

Great home if you are looking for some peace

The house is near a creek and provides a great, secluded location if you are looking for some peace. My family and I loved going down to the river on the property and relaxing by the water. We took a couple of trips to Blowing Rock/Tweetsie Railroad during our stay, but my favorite time was spent listening to the creek from the front porch or down by the river with my feet in the cool mountain water. Would definitely recommend this property if you are looking to get away and get outside.

Serene Escape: Our Perfect Family Retreat in a Stunning Cabin

What an extraordinary property and a breathtaking cabin! My family and I were absolutely delighted with our stay. The property offers tranquility, easy access, and the cabin itself is absolutely stunning. Our children had the time of their lives playing in the creek right in front of the cabin every day, while our dog thoroughly enjoyed exploring the surrounding trails a short distance away. The cabin is perfectly situated in a beautiful clearing within a small valley, offering quiet, seclusion, and an incredibly peaceful atmosphere. Locating the property and accessing the cabin was a breeze, thanks to the convenient lock boxes. The interior of the cabin appears brand new, with supremely comfortable beds and a living space that is the epitome of what one dreams of in a cabin in the woods. This place has earned a permanent spot in our hearts, and we plan to return time and time again.

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!

Heaven

Beautiful place, so quite and peaceful. My grandbabies loved playing in the creek in front of house and the hot tub. There were lots of toys to keep them entertained too. We had fun at the River also. We will definitely go back again. Connie was easy to contact. Waterfalls close by this place is a small piece of Heaven on earth. Thank you for sharing it.

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!

A High Country Winter Winner!

So, you're reading reviews of properties you are considering. A particular property stands out to you and the reviews are good. Really good. And they've been consistently good for years... Can it possibly still be "that" good? In this case the answer is YES! What a stellar property. Exactly as described, the cabin is gorgeous, immaculately clean, classy yet rustic, well stocked, very comfortable and sits on a prime piece of land that we've barely scratched the surface in exploring. (We'll continue that on a future trip.) While the cabin was our primary destination, we did take a day trip into Blowing Rock (25 minutes up the mountain on a scenic lane) and another day we travelled over to Jonas Ridge for some tubing. (Excellent half day of snowy fun). The rest of the time we enjoyed the fireplace, hot tub, front porch and grounds. We ate lots of meals in and had no problem preparing everything we planned in the well equipped kitchen. The many reviews stating the comfort of the beds and furniture were not exaggerating and the showers and water were great. (I have to believe that the entire cabin is on an R.O. system - the water was excellent). The only time we contacted the owner was a quick hello on arrival and a goodbye on departure. She responded kindly and quickly each time. Otherwise, everything was just as promised and we experienced no issues whatsoever. Our crew included two 40-something adults, an 18yr old and a 6yr old - and to a person, it was decided we HAVE to return!

THIS IS THE ONE

This year we wanted to spend Christmas away, get away from all the hustle and bustle and just spend time as a family… Globe Valley Ranch was Christmas! I honestly could not have asked for more. The cabin is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and clean. We spent time playing games, baking cookies and watching movies. The property is gorgeous, sitting on the front deck over looking the river, I never wanted to leave. The quietness was so welcoming. We didn’t get to explore much outside because of the windchill reaching records of minus 10. During that time Corrine checked on us to make sure we still had power and if we needed anything. Corrine was so responsive and amazing to work with. This cabin is honestly a hidden gem. Already looking at the dates we can book again when it’s warmer to explore Globe Valley Ranch. It’s a MUST

Relaxing weekend getaway

Everything was perfect from the cabin to the property. Definitely no cell service but I count that as a plus! We spent the days out on the river on the property and evenings in the hot tub. The river is located at the front entrance to the property and down the path. We just packed the car up with floats, drinks, and snacks and drove there. All in all….I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and hope to come back again soon.

The most relaxing VRBO ever !

We could have easily stayed a month. Very private, quiet, fully equipped, nothing anyone could want for. Sitting on the porch watching the wildlife, fireflies and chilling. The beds and furniture so comfortable and Showers are great Never turned on a TV ! Corrine was awesome and extremely helpful answering our many questions. We already want to plan another trip to NC just to stay here.
