About this property

Long Range Views - 10 minutes to downtown Boone - See POST Helene photos!

2025 Hurricane Helene Damage Update- After very long months of clean up, we are operational again. There was no damage to the cabin but the ponds had to be rebuilt. It's spring and the grass is growing again. We are resuming instant bookings but please look at the photos before you book. We cannot control the speed at which the grass grows. There is still more work to do at the lower pond including final grading and reseeding. We will not schedule work while the cabin is occupied. The area is still rebuilding so please keep that in mind when you come to the area.

Breathe ... It's time to take that long awaited vacation in the North Carolina mountains. Mountain Song Cabin is the perfect rustic retreat from the busy world. It is located in a quiet, private neighborhood just 8 minutes from downtown Boone, NC, a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive university town. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy getting back to this peaceful retreat for a soak in the hot tub after a long day on the trail. Everyone is welcome.

Grab a glass of your favorite beverage and sit on the porch or sit in the hot tub and watch the breathtaking sunsets and the indigenous wildlife feeding on the apple, pear, and cherry trees or even the wild blackberry bushes.

Inside you have all of the comforts of home. A well equipped kitchen, a cozy living area to enjoy the fireplace, a nicely remodeled bathroom and comfortable beds with heated mattress pads for those chilly nights.

Unplug and enjoy the fresh mountain while you soak away your cares in the spectacular hot tub. Have a fire; roast some marshmallows and enjoy s'mores at the large fire-pit! Enjoy your downtime listening to the spring peepers, crickets and chirping frogs. Chase lightning bugs like you did when you were a kid. Appreciate nature right here in your own backyard! Be on the look out for deer, groundhogs, wild turkey bears and foxes and there is always an orchestra of songbirds close by.

For your 'plugged in' entertainment and connectivity needs, there is a Bose iPod docking station, TV with streaming apps available, a video library and wireless internet service.

Mountain Song Cabin is your peaceful retreat in the Appalachian Mountains but don't forget to get out and enjoy the activities in the area. There is a wonderful farmers' market every Saturday morning from May to October at the Horn in the West parking lot. All of the wonderful fresh foods of the area are recommended. There are artists that create amazing works of art. There is usually live music and even fresh flowers for your table. Check out the 'Area Attractions' page for the links to many of the area's activities.

Note: There are exterior security cameras on the premises.

Thank you for your interest in Mountain Song Cabin. We look forward to seeing you!

Great view!

We loved spending our 30th wedding anniversary at Mountain Song Cabin. The views are wonderful--ponds, green fields, and multiple mountain ranges. We especially enjoyed watching the sunset from the hot tub. The cabin itself is cozy and old-fashioned. The beds are big and comfortable. The location was good for trips into Boone and Blowing Rock. I'd definitely stay again.
