About this property

Romantic Cabin,Views,Pet-Friendly,Trails

Visit Horsin' Around atop Leatherwood Mountains. This new Log Cabin is a horse lovers dream. Horsin' Around is a beautiful 2 bedroom, newly constructed log home with a 2 stall barn with attached 12'x14' pens, and separate paddocks for turn-out (maximum 4 horses). This perfect horse lovers get-away is located on Wagon Ridge about as close to the Daniel Boone trail head as you can get. Ride directly from this great new rental property onto the Leatherwood Mountains trail system and return to the onsite 2 stall barn, just steps away from this modern, well-equipped log cabin. Relax and take in the view from the overlook chairs waiting on the porch. If Horses aren't your thing this brand new log cabin still has plenty to offer. Relax in front of the gas log fireplace and stone chimney while taking in the views from the great room's wall of windows. Slip away to the loft to watch the game on the 55 inch TV with Blue Ray. An air tub awaits in the master bathroom. A window seat in the master bedroom provides an ideal location to enjoyl Horsin' around's never ending views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Guests traveling with trailers or other long vehicles should be aware that the roads inside Leatherwood are narrow, steep, mountain roads that are not conducive to vehicles or trailers longer than a two horse bumper pull trailer or a goose neck trailer less than 20 feet long. Leatherwood is not responsible for any resulting damage.
Horsin’ Around is located at the end of a short narrow road. There is sufficient room for a 16 foot gooseneck trailer to make the turn around the barn, but nothing longer. When approaching Horsin’ Around, circle clockwise around the barn. If additional room is needed to complete the turn, the corners of the pens can be unchained and folded out of the way.

Beautiful cabin

The cabin was beautiful. The finishes in the cabin are very nice, and the view is outstanding! Such a relaxing get away for our family. We absolutely loved the community, and took advantage of the horse rides for our young son. We will absolutely be coming back.

Out of the way!

This is a very nice location but keep in mind it is in the middle of nowhere. 1 hour from Blowing Rock. No restaurants around. The one on site is only open Friday nights during the winter. So pack everything you need. Is a great place for horses and riding.

Super private stay high on the mountain

We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and boy did we find it. Yes: cell reception is spotty - but my wife and I were able to use this opportunity to completely check out from our work and just enjoy the simple mountain life. Resort staff are super friendly and we loved every moment of our experience

The perfect getaway!

We had the most amazing weekend. Everything was clean and the views were awesome at the cabin. We loved bringing our dog too! The trails were easily accessible and the hot tub was a nice activity to have too. We even had snow on our last day! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. Love all of the horse decor / theme. Thanks for an awesome stay!

Living the Simple Life Mountain Style

Beautiful property secluded in the mountains from the hustle and bustle of life demands. Responsive property manager, Abbie, who made us feel right at home. The staff at Leatherwood were friendly and very welcoming. Highly recommend this VRBO and thoroughly enjoyed the horse theme house :).

The cabin was beautiful and the stable was perfect for our horses. Unfortunately we had bad rainy weather so didn't get as much riding innasnwe wanted as the trails were not in good shape. Hope to go back again!

Beautiful And Quite

This house is beautiful, the only thing I would ask for would be a TV downstairs. I can’t do stairs so I had to watch I tablet and read. Which was also nice. But my Husband and I had a great Anniversary trip. Thank you.

Perfection

My husband and I had the best time at this cabin in the mountains. It exceed our expectations . The view from the living room was amazing. The home was super clean and cozy, was tucked away providing peaceful privacy, had all the things we could need to cook our meals, and the hot tub was fabulous. I did not want to leave. It was just so relaxing and romantic. We got home today and it is one of the first times I have returned from a trip and thought “it’s good to be home”. I want to go back to the cabin!

Pet friendly solitude

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: High country mountain vistas, horses, hiking, pet friendly accommodation and solitude. What's not to like? We had a lot of fun exploring the numerous trails that are right outside your door. We went on a trail ride, visited nearby Boone and Blowing Rock and got to see some snow. All in all, we had a peaceful and relaxing vacation.

Weekend getaway

This location was absolutely amazing. The view was spectacular! The weather did not cooperate and it rained the whole time so that put a little damper on our activities. I would absolutely stay here again. The one issue we had was getting the information to properly check in. I never received the email so that was a little confusing but the office staff was wonderful and very helpful. Be warned there is no cell service in this area you must be connected to the wifi the host provides!

Stunning but remote

We spent more time in the car getting to places than i would like. I am mildly disabled so hiking the trails on the mountain was difficult. Driving to towns and attractions seemed to take forever, often on gravel roads that were poorly posted. We should have booked something closer to Boone, Blowing Rock or Banner Elk but i would hate to loose that view from the house. Lack of cell phone reception was problematic.

Beautiful Views!

Horsin' Around is a beautiful mid-sized cabin with breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge mountains. My wife and I wanted quiet, peaceful, secluded and that's what we found! Amenities are exactly as specified in the listing. There are no other cabins visible from this property. After a 5-8 minute drive (to what seems like the top of the mountain!) from the front gate of the Leatherwood Mountain Resort you are in a little slice of heaven. This area caters to horse lovers, but being a "horse-person" is not necessary. We will definitely be back! Already checking our dates for the future! Highly recommend Horsin' Around and Leatherwood Mountain resort!

Really better for a family with kids - not 2

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The downstairs bedroom - extremely small and claustrophobic with a bathroom just as limited. Better for a family and put 2 kids in the small room. Could not shower without getting hair wet, TV never really worked, pots and pans were worse than what I had in college. Also the pet blanket was full of chiggers - so I was eaten alive on the couch one night.
