About this property

Secluded yet close to everything!

Welcome to our little piece of paradise in the mountains of Boone NC! A Mountain Dream Cabin is far enough from civilization to be secluded, yet close enough to town & local attractions to be more than convenient. Located only 10 quick miles outside of Boone, NC in the exclusive log cabin community of Twin Hollows. A Mountain Dream has every amenity to make your stay as comfortable, pleasant and stress free as you could ever imagine.

Hurricane recovery update:
From our Boone Area Chamber of Commerce with Town of Boone North Carolina and Explore Boone:

We welcome Appalachian State students back to Boone and our fall visitors are beginning to seek the beauty of autumn in the mountains once again.

Thanks to the tireless work of utility and construction crews, Boone and Blowing Rock have largely recovered from the storm’s impacts. Primary and most secondary roads have been repaired, though occasional lane closures and the need for alternate routes still exist in many areas.

Many of our retail and restaurant partners are open for business, including those in downtown Boone as well as other popular areas across the community. Please note that a curfew remains in effect from 11PM to 7AM daily throughout Watauga County

A Mountain Dream Cabin itself is fine too. Had a tree come thru the back porch roof but that has been patched. In the grand scheme of things we were very blessed/lucky that that was all the damage we incurred.

The resilience of our community and the outpouring of support from off the mountain has gotten us to this point.
With all that being so eloquently said, we welcome you back to our community with open arms. The businesses and restaurants are very much look forward to serving you again and seeing your smiling faces!

Thanks! Terri

Weekend Escape

My best friend and I wanted to get away for the weekend and this cabin was PERFECT! Cozy and warm, with a beautiful view, it really made us feel relaxed and comfortable away from home. The hot tub was very clean and the amenities were as described. I would definitely book this cabin again!

Great cabin!

Terri was a wonderful host! The cabin feels nestled in the forest while also being a quick drive to Boone. We loved being able to hear the sounds of cows from the farm in the valley below in the morning, as well as getting to chase lightning bugs and make s’mores in the evening. The cabin was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for making breakfasts and several dinners during our stay. Terri was warm, friendly, and responsive regarding questions I had. There were dog bowls waiting for our dog, which was also a lovely touch. It was clear that a lot of care and thought had been put into the cabin to ensure a comfortable stay.

Fabulous in all ways!

My wife and I found Everything perfect, cozy, clean, and with plenty of room for us and our dogs. The hot tub was wonderful, and while we didn’t use the grill or fire pit, we will on a future visit. The extra drive from Boone was easy and worth it for such a beautiful and secluded spot, and comfortable house.

Mountain Dream Cabin!

Beautiful and cozy cabin that was like a dream to stay in! Had everything you would want and not to far from restaurants, attractions and stores. Loved spending time in the hot tub overlooking the mountain tops. My teenager loved having the upstairs loft all to himself! Best of all, pet friendly so you don’t have to leave your fur babies at home. Owner very responsive and accommodating! Hope to return with my family in the future!

Exactly what we were looking for!

Wonderful, cozy little cabin for a quick mountain getaway. We were praying for a bit of snow, and God was graciously generous!! Even in sub-zero windchill temps, the hot tub was amazing and the cabin was warm and toasty. The host is perfectly responsive and friendly, and we had no complaints. Would definitely recommend.

New Year's Weekend Get-Away

The cabin was fabulous and the owner was receptive, prompt and extremely helpful! We prayed for snow and we were blessed with more than we wanted :-) Our rental couldn't make it up the mountain because it wasn't 4wd/awd. Even the neighbors were helpful! They stopped and offered assistance and another neighbor offered for us to warm up in their home. Overall, we couldn't be happier. Thank you!

Mountain Dreams Do Come True

My sister and I came to the area for my son’s wedding and wanted to make a long fall weekend visit out of it. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Mountain Dream Cabin. The property was exactly as shown — clean, well-stocked. The owner was very responsive with communications. Location was close to Boone, Banner Elk, Valle Crucis, Grandfather Mountain and all other attractions. Will return.

Ski weekend

This was our second stay at this property and it was just as enjoyable as the first time we stayed a few years ago. The cabin has plenty of room for our family of 5 without feeling too cramped. The bed in the master i feel is very comfortable. The cabin has everything you need and is removed enough from town to feel secluded but close enough to be convenient. I will say the first time we visited the road leading up and the driveway were quite rough but over time the gravel has become more compact which made it much easier getting in and out than last time. We had another great stay here overall and look forward to coming back again!

I've been visiting the Boone area since 1988 and completely fell in love with it. I finally realized my dream of owning a cabin in the beautiful mountains in 2003.
