Map & Owner's Profile
N.C. Blue Ridge Mountains Log Cabin Vacation Rental - Wolf Den
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Wilkesboro
We chose the Buck Mountain Community for our real log cabin because it is a 2,500 acre private gated community of log cabins and up-scale rustic exterior homes with spectacular views. There are 40 miles of scenic roads and many miles of ATV and walking trails at Buck Mountain. For all to enjoy there is the lovely Staghorn Waterfalls and a stocked fishing pond on site located within two miles of WOLF DEN Cabin. We wanted our cabin to be accessible but seemingly remote. With the exception of the final four miles to the cabin, the roads are Interstates or limited access four lane highways from almost anywhere. The ski resorts and the mountain area attractions including the famous Blue Ridge Parkway are within seven to thirty miles of our cabin. We try to go to the cabin as often as possible but, when we can’t be there, we enjoy vicariously through our guests the time they spend in our wonderfully pine scented and comfortable home.
A delightful spring fed waterfall in the Buck Mountain community. Accessible via car or ATV. Take your camera.
A great day trip from the cabin with plenty of shopping and dinig opportunities.
A wonderful huge lake less than ten miles from WOLF DEN Cabin available for all water activities and accessed via parks and boat ramps at many locations.
Owner's Map of Wilkesboro
We have been fortunate that one of our ventures allowed us to conduct business in upscale resort areas world-wide where we often stayed for weeks in exclusive hotels or in rented vacation homes, condos and villas. For most of our life together, we have lived near oceans in our homes on Kauai and Oahu, Hawaii, in Los Angeles and in Wilmington, NC. When we purchased WOLF DEN Cabin in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains as a second home, we added another dimension to our lives which allowed us to escape the tourists and the heat of the beach and the pressures of our business there and to envelope ourselves in the beauty, comfort and serenity that a real log cabin offers. We have taken all we learned over the years from renting other people’s homes and created a nearly perfect affordable vacation rental experience for our guests by providing comfortable beds and amenities in a setting that seems remote and off-the-beaten-path but actually is only a few miles from most Blue Ridge Mountains attractions and its breathtaking scenic beauty.

Homeowner Response:
Thank you for this lovely description of the birds you saw and heard at WOLF DEN Cabin. Sorry, there is no hummingbird feeder at the cabin - it also attracts ants. I am pleased you found time to relax in the hammock, too! I'd say staying an extra night to unwind after MerleFest wrapped was good for your soul. Thank you for taking such good care of our home. Walter and Constance

Homeowner Response:
During the cold days of a winter vacation, the inviting and well equipped kitchen helps bring warmth to the tummy and to the soul. We love to get out and see the sites of the Blue Ridge Mountain area but we also surely do love to return to "home base" and cuddle up in our cabin sheltered from the chills of winter. Come back in the spring or fall for an entirely different experience. Walter and Constance
