Fiber Optic Wi-Fi, hiking trails, waterfalls, Hot tub, outdoor.

Buck Mountain is conveniently located just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and its natural beauty and recreational opportunities.

Catch & Release Fishing
Stocked with largemouth bass, multiple species of sunfish, and channel catfish the pond is slowly becoming a great 'ole fishin' hole in the middle of our mountain paradise.
In 2014 two gazebos and a memorial garden were added to the south end of the pond.
Fern Flats
Originally purchased by the association to extend the greenway system, the area to the west of the pond is known as Fern Flats for its level terrain and abundance of ferns and flora. A mulched walking trail, including a hammock nestled beside the stream that serves as one of its borders, helps make this area a truly hidden treasure of the mountain.

Hiking
Staghorn Falls
Located near the middle of the community on Staghorn Road, this 65' tall waterfall provides a beautiful backdrop for relaxation.
Falls Basin
A few steps from the parking area beside Staghorn Falls Road brings you to the bottom of the falls and its basin pool. There on your left you'll find Adirondack chairs nestled around large boulders to provide a front-row view of the falls.
Basin Overlook
A short two and one-half minute walk from the parking area at Staghorn falls brings you to the east side of the falls, where you'll find a side trail and short run of stairs down to the Basin Overlook. This private, tranquil viewing area is hidden from the road and provides an excellent respite from the stress of daily life. You'll find four comfortable chairs, plus a hammock tucked around the corner for that afternoon nap.
Falls Summit
Add another two minutes to your walk and you'll find yourself at the top of Staghorn Falls, where you'll find a glider and chairs situated alongside the stream that leaps from the summit. Looking upstream your eyes will land upon another set of falls which create a beautiful "S" shape that pulls you in and invites you stay. To your left across the stream is a place to sit quietly and listen to the sounds of the rushing water.

Located 30 minutes from Boone, West Jefferson, or North Wilkesboro. (15 minutes are in community 7 miles) last mile gravel. 4wd recommended in the winter.

Great couple’s getaway

The drive up Buck Mountain is not to be underestimated. You will be fine in a car if there’s no snow. Go slow and use a lower gear in spots as needed. We didn’t try coming up or down after sunset. The property is fantastic. The pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s super quiet and almost at the end of the road, so you’ll probably not see or hear anyone most of the time while you’re at the cabin. It has a ton of natural light coming in. The hot tub is on the bottom level and there aren’t steps from the deck. So you’ll need to go out the front door and around and down to get to it. But it’s very good and has a wonderful view. The cabin has just about everything you’ll need inside. A fully stocked kitchen with every appliance needed if you want to cook meals. Every lightbulb works and everything is super clean when you get there. We fully enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again!

Perfect Getaway

We really enjoyed this trip because we could do as much or as little as we wanted and this was the perfect place to do just that. It takes about 15 minutes from house to the gate, but from there we went 20-30 minutes to visit N Wilkesboro, Blowing Rock, Boone, West Jefferson etc. There are trails that lead to multiple waterfalls and we didn't see anyone else like you do on others - a true highlight of the gated community.

Exactly what we were looking for!

My girlfriend and I had a great stay at the cabin. The area and property were beautiful, and the cabin itself was very cozy. The hot tub was also a great addition.

Breathtaking!!

The online photos show little of the views this place offers! Very near the top of the mountain, it is truly Heaven on earth! Had it not been for the full moon, we would've had an even greater view of the stars. It was SO peaceful. Thank you so much! It was just what we wanted and needed!

Perfect couple getaway

This was the perfect getaway for my girlfriend and I. The host was excellent and very attentive, Anthony and Amy were very helpful and made sure we had what was needed. They also sent links for places to eat, sceneries and things to do near purlear. The cabin was very nice and we awoke to a great view every morning. Would highly recommend this cabin and the host!

About the host

Hosted by Anthony L Chavis

Amy and I live at the Coast of South Carolina. (North Myrtle). She is the beach person, and I am the Mountain person. We both enjoy spending time listening to nature, spending time on the water and riding our ATV or hiking on the trails at Buck Mountain. We want to share our piece of buck mountain with others.

Why they chose this property

This 3000 Plus acre Neighbor hood includes all kind of wildlife and enough space to enjoy your little section of nature. We enjoy spending time at several falls located in the neighborhood.

Falls Basin
A few steps from the parking area beside Staghorn Falls Road brings you to the bottom of the falls and its basin pool. There on your left you'll find Adirondack chairs nestled around large boulders to provide a front-row view of the falls.
