About this property

Welcome to the Cozy Moose Cabin- a Romantic Getaway in the High Country! No Pets

Welcome to the Cozy Moose Cabin! Located in Purlear, NC on Buck Mountain, a private gated 3,400-acre community, this Pet Free/Smoke Free cabin is located only 20 minutes from Boone and 35 minutes from Blowing Rock via the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. If you are visiting for a nearby wedding, Sky Retreat is 38 minutes away and Wonderlust Acres is 37 minutes away.

Our Cabin sits on 10.5 secluded acres (the cabin is not visible from the main road) and affords you the privacy you may be seeking for a vacation of reconnecting or a vacation of disconnecting from the rest of the world. The property is easily accessible without a four-wheel drive vehicle, but it is suggested in the winter months when snow is on the ground. While we love Fluffy and Fido, pets are NOT allowed at this property as the owner is extremely allergic. This is a NON-SMOKING/NON-VAPING/NO HUNTING property.

The Buck Mountain Community features a relaxing waterfall, a small stocked pond (catch and release only) and hiking trails. Being centrally located to Boone, West Jefferson, and Wilkesboro gives you many options close by for dining and entertainment.

In the winter, there are many options for snow skiing and tubing:
- Hawksnest Tubing Park (Seven Devils)
- Beech Mountain Resort (Boone)

If a relaxing day for you is visiting a winery or vineyard, there are also many options:
- Mill Camp Winery & Cidery (Boone)
- Laurel Gray Vineyards (Hamptonville)
- Grandfather Vineyard & Winery (Banner Elk)
- Linville Falls Winery (Newland)
- Thistle Meadow Winery (Laurel Springs)
- Old Barn Winery and Vineyards (West Jefferson)

Or if a relaxing day for you is visiting a great craft brewery, these are some options:

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.

Great location

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.

Horse Show

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!

Cozy & Comfortable Cabin

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!

Nice cabin on Moose Mountain

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy and Joe

Host profile image
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 :-)
