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 30 miles of scenic roads and many 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 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.

We enjoyed a very restful stay. The cabin is completely supplied, it is certainly a home away from home. Very comfortable with all the comforts of home. Loved sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs. We visited many of the local wineries. We had an exceptional visit at the Sanders Ridge Winery. They have a wonderful restaurant there. We enjoyed two delicious meals there. We also had an exciting time doing the Back Woods zip line also at this winery. Each time we would go up and down Buck Mountain, we took a couple of minutes to enjoy the sound of the Staghorn waterfall. We had a very nice week at Wolf Den Cabin.

Wonderful, cozy cabin where you feel like at home. It has a great floor plan so everybody can have privacy. Fully stocked with all the necessities. We had a great time, lots of fun in the snow. We spent great New Year Eve that will bring back only good memories. We would recommend this cabin to all of our fiends and will definitely come back. Thank you for letting us stay in your cabin. The Bulgarian Group
Owner response:When you first inquired a few months ago and requested snow on New Year's eve, we had no idea that it would actually happen for you - but it did! We are happy you got your wish for snow in the Blue Ridge mountains and so pleased that your vacation at WOLF DEN Cabin was so much fun for all of you. Walter and Constance

We had a group of 6 people and we had a wonderful time. We all thought the cabin was very clean and incredibly well supplied with kitchen goodies...we cooked "in" two nights and really enjoyed ourselves. We would recommend the drive to Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk, including the Banner Elk winery...one of the highways to Banner Elk was a twisty road and would be truly beautiful in the fall colors. We hope to return soon and often to Wolf Den!

We had a wonderful time at Wolf Den cabin. The cabin was warm and inviting, and the decor wonderfully appropriate for the setting. Clean and cozy, especially with the gas logs on. Great views of the mountains, and we loved the hammock outside looking over the mountain views. We went to several of the Swan Creek area wineries, only a short drive away, and had a fabulous time. A great place to visit, we are planning on returning for another getaway soon.

We had a great time and made lots of fun memories! The cabin worked out perfect for the seven of us. We had everything we could have needed in the well equipped kitchen. The master suite downstairs was a nice get away. We truly felt at home. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.

We had a wonderful time while staying at Wolf Den from 10/22-10/25,2009. The mountain scenery was absolutely beautiful! This cabin makes for a perfect vacation get away. We truly enjoyed riding our 4-wheelers on the trails of Buck Mountain. Wolf Den Cabin had everything we could have possibly needed. We had an opportunity to meet a few residents of Buck Mountain, who were very friendly and pleasant. We highly recommend staying at Wolf Den, and have plans to return.

Owner response: When we are at the cabin, we like that we can stay downstairs in the master suite with the door closed and our guests upstairs can have their run of the cabin and its amenities. Come back anytime! Walter and Constance
