The Valle Crucis Community is less than fifteen minutes down the road, and is home to the historic Mast General Store and the water front Valle Crucis Community Park.

The Lookout is a custom built log cabin on 18 acres of mountainside property overlooking spectacular vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The cabin's hand hewn logs are a testament to the courage, resilience, and sacrifices made by the pioneering souls of early America. Moved and reassembled in its current location, the cabin was built in the 1830s by the Callaway family, who were immortalized in the annals of American history when their daughters were kidnapped and rescued by the frontiersman, Daniel Boone. The main floor living room has exposed log walls and ceiling beams making it a cozy place to warm up by the rock gas fireplace. The updated kitchen has all you need to cook a favorite meal, and plenty of counter space, including a butcher block island, for prep work. Outside, the covered porch is the perfect place to relax in the rocking chairs with your morning coffee and take in the long range mountain views of Grandfather, Sugar, and Beech Mountains. The back deck has a gas grill, fire pit, and outdoor dining table where guests can enjoy the cool mountain air. The lower level den has a large sectional with room for the whole family to relax on while playing a game or watching TV.
