About this property

120Yr Old Cabin Great for couple/family, 15 min from Boone, center of 200 acres!

Just 15 minutes from Boone/AppState... Close to all attactions...
Summer...New river-Tubing/fishing 15 minutes away, Tweetsie-20 minutes
Winter-Ski Slopes are just a short drive
AppState families.... it is an easy drive to campus...perfect for family visits.

The property is secluded away from any developement....located on a 200 acre family farm. The cabin is located near a small creek with over 40 acres of land to explore. Trails will take you to a small private creek with native trout. From the front porch, you can see deer, turkey, and other wildlife.

This rustic cabin was relocated in 1957 from the original family home place. Cabin's kitchen will meet the needs of weekend visitors with modern conveniences. The private bedroom loft offers a large window that looks over 5 acres of pasture. The living area includes a TV (for DVD's only- no satellite or cable) and assortment of DVD's and games.

The main living areas has two sleeper sofas that will sleep four. We intentionally did not put Wi-Fi or Cable in the Cabin so you can truly get away. However cell service is strong so you can still receive text and voice messages.

Please note: the steps to the loft bedroom are steep.... Also, the front steps (3 steps) onto the porch are rock and the last one is higher that the first two. There is a smaller step to the right of the porch you can use to get onto the porch and into the house if needed. This cabin is not handicapped accessible...
WINTER MONTHS...IF WE HAVE A BIG DUMP OF SNOW...YOU WILL NEED 4X4 or AWD to get up the last hill......No Snow....No Problem....But if we get a lot of snow you will need a vehicle that puts traction on all 4 tires....

The cabin was exactly as described. I particularly appreciated the privacy and sense of being alone. The cabin was comfortable and had all the necessities for cooking. I met the owner, Ed, while out walking in his property. A lovely creek runs through the property. He helped me to feel at home and provided great information about local hikes and other points of interest. Great place for solo travelers or small families.

Quaint and super cozy. Beautiful views. Pet friendly and great location. Our only challenges were that this cabin is not ideal for tall people. My boyfriend is 6’5” and it was challenging for him in this rental. Also, the stairs to the bedroom upstairs (the only bedroom) are very steep and narrow footing. Also there is no internet or cable here. Other than those things we had a great visit!

The property felt like a home away from home in the mountains. It was very inviting and our dogs loved it there. We will definitely be back again in the future. It was a beautiful view in the middle of a farm and you could hear the creek water running. It was very relaxing.

Clean place, cute cabin very quiet as well! It was all we expected and more! It was amazing for our dog and toddler to have creek access (water was calm when we stayed). As well as it was less than 10 minutes from getting into boone to go to breweries etc. Lots of hiking trails nearby which is why we came to visit. Fireplace out back and s'mores were a great time and a new experience for my toddler! We loved this little cabin and would definitely come back!

The cabin was very cozy and so authentically rustic! Loved it! The weather was cold and there was snow. We saw deer and wild turkeys. We did not explore the property, but definitely offers a lot. We want to return in the spring or summer! Also was decorated so nicely for Christmas!

The place was generally good, but for a few minor things that should be standard for most vrbo stays: 1) no pasta strainer, 2) no oven baking tray, 3) no instructions (with among other things, how to properly check out)., all the pillows were super thick, which sucks for people who like smaller thinner ones, 4) the to is of the absolute thinnest variety, and the heater was not working well the first day we got there. It took 4 hours to get from 58 to 70. Not sure about the heater, but the other things could easily be fixed to make this a 5 star stay.

Very cute and cozy cabin

Weekend getaway with family — there were 5 of us and we were very cozy in the cabin with ample space for sleeping and cooking meals. Loved the peaceful location just outside of town. Cabin was very clean — check in was a breeze. Plan to stay here every year for our mountain getaway.

Quiet and secluded, yet 10 minutes from downtown Boone. Basic amenities, no internet, but had mostly 5g through t-mobile. I wouldnr recommend a low profile coupe or sedan, the rocky drive near the cabin would probably be a bit of a challenge

Our family was honored to stay in this 120 year old cabin on this amazing homestead and be a tiny part of its history. Absolutely great location, lovely short walk to the waterfall, it was so relaxing and stepping back in time to the basics. We loved our time and can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Ed Miller

Host profile image
In 2010 Becca and I were able to take our two boys, Russell (8yrs) and Joseph(6yrs) and move back 'home' to Boone. We wanted our boys to grow up in a rural area where they could grow and explore. This property is full of history and memories that we wanted to share with our guests.

Why they chose this property

This property was sold in 1957 by Ed's Grandfather to a school teacher in Florida for a price 'no one would take'. 53 yrs later Ed and Becca were able to buy the property back and turn in to weekend/short term rentals. The property is nestled in 200 acres of family farmland. With a creek, waterfalls, and plenty area to just roam, it is a great place to just get away. The original Cabin was made from the same logs that came from the cabin Ed's dad was born in in 1924. It is a cozy place where you can just relax.

We know that family often includes the four legged kind. Our cabin has 100% rock or hardwood floors. We welcome dogs so they can too explore and see what country living is about. We are a working farm so if your dog likes to chase cattle, chickens, or other farm animals, you will need to bring a leash...

The Cabin is just 10 minutes from Boone and 20 minutes from Blowing Rock., so you are also close to the many activities the high county has to offer.

Visiting Spring,Summer, and Fall
Elk Knob State Park for hiking, the New River for Tubing/ Canoe/ Kayak are just 15 minutes away. Grand father Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad, Zip lining, and Parkway are only 25 minutes away.

Winter we have three ski slopes that await between 20 and 40 minutes away as well as several places to sled and tube.

What makes this property unique

The trails will lead you into the woods where you find a creek that will sooth you body and mind. The creek offers many opportunities for both young and old. With a waterfall, places for children to explore, and space for adults to reflect and relax. From the front porch you can look over the valley of Howard's creek while watching the sun rise. This is a quiet retreat where many folks have come to rest and relax. The Cabin welcomes couples and families who want to just "Un-Plug"
