A relaxing cabin in a gated community that feels secluded with old growth forest and nature everywhere. We saw deer, turkeys, and numerous different birds from the covered back porch. The interior is comfortable and invites a relaxing, slower pace. A close drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway and roughly 35 minutes to Blowing Rock.
This is our (wife and I) 3rd time staying at this cabin. Love the peace and quiet. Listening to birds sing and watching clouds go by is best vacation for me. Very nice view of the high country mountains. Very clean cabin. Take your groceries and you are set to nestle in. They have almost everything you need to fix a meal. Highly recommend The Cozy Moose cabin.
It was a wonderful cabin with the best view. We enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin was clean. The bathroom was huge!. Sitting on that wonderful back deck with those amazing views was so relaxing.
This was our second time staying at this property and it was wonderful both times. We also got to enjoy meeting many of the neighbors and folks that live there when we were invited to join them at the July 4th Community Gathering where there was food and fellowship and even a live band. Terrific experience and property.
This property had amazing mountain views with a nice back deck to enjoy evening sunsets. Very charming, clean cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would return.
We stayed the weekend at this cabin because our granddaughter was in a horse show. It was a very relaxing place to come back to after a busy show. The views off the back deck are spectacular! The beds are very comfortable and my granddaughter enjoyed having the loft to herself. We would definitely stay here again!
Super cozy and clean cabin with gorgeous views! Definitely worth it to take a trip here. The owners are also great with communication and very accommodating. Thank you for the fabulous getaway!
Perfect location to work uninterrupted and close enough to some fun things to do on breaks. Cabin is beautiful, clean, and there's no beating the mountain view.
The property MORE than delivered quality of furnishings, communication with the owners, beauty of the setting - everything was perfect! Would definitely recommend and will definitely stay here again.
This cabin is adorable and very clean. Furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. We loved having coffee on the porch in the mornings and watching the sun set over the mountains in the evening. Definitely will keep this one on our “visit again” list!
Very nice cabin facing West with the mist breathtaking sunsets. Cabin had every you would want to relax in solitude. Nice trails to walk as part of the resort with hammocks to rest by the creeks if you have the time to do so. Cabin was as advertised and all the reviews on this place are accurate. Nice clean place. One of the best we have rented on VRBO!
View was amazing!!! Very clean and all necessities were provided.
We are from Sarasota FL and went for a short visit before a family wedding in the area. Will go back soon.
This is absolutely one of the best rentals ever! We were very satisfied with everything. The cabin is very clean, has everything you need to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. We will look here first when we get back to this part of North Carolina. We are very happy we chose the Cozy Cabin! Just great all the way around!
Best Cabin We've Ever Stayed In! A True Mountain Gem!The location is absolutely incredible, and the views of the mountains are stunning. We truly had a wonderful, relaxing stay. The cabin is very spacious yet still feels incredibly cozy and comfortable.The amenities were perfect for our group. We were impressed by the great size kitchen, which was stocked with plenty of cookware, making meals easy and enjoyable. We also appreciated the plenty of games, TV, and reliable internet—great for downtime after a day of exploring.The Cozy Moose Cabin is perfect for a couple or a family. We will absolutely recommend it to anyone traveling in the area and plan to be back ourselves! We’d give it a 10-star review if we could!

About the host
Hosted by Tammy and Joe
We fell in love with the High Country years ago and had been renting cabins for many years prior to buying one of our own. We have owned and rented The Cozy Moose Cabin for 11 years now. We don't use a property management company, so you'll always be dealing directly with us and we are always available before or during your visit in case you have any questions about the area, things to do or places to eat.
Why they chose this property
We found it was always very hard to find a less expensive cabin for quick weekend getaways for two - they always seemed to be geared towards a larger group for the rental. This cabin only has two bedrooms and two baths but it is 1,550 square feet and affords some room to move around and not feel cramped. And it comes with a great view off the back deck!
What makes this property unique
This cabin is located on 10.5 acres, hidden from the road and is very quiet and easy to access. It is serene and peaceful, and it allows you to turn off your brain and just relax :-)
