Enjoy tranquility with surrounding beauty in a world of its own in the Roan Valley approximately six miles north of Bakersville, North Carolina. Wake up to spectacular views of Roan Mountain and surrounding peaks. Rock or swing your stress away on the covered back porch from which you will often see deer or other wildlife. Enjoy coffee or a good book on the large deck surrounding the front of the cabin listening to the mountain creek that runs through the property and feeds two small ponds on the property.
Larger groups are welcome. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs, one with 2 twins and the other with 1 queen. The master has a king on the main level. Downstairs has gas logs with a TV, 1 queen, 1 double, and a single bed.
Bring your horses, and take in other views from horse back. There is a barn with three large stalls and a two-acre fenced pasture that surrounds the cabin.
Hiking on the Appalachian Trail is less than ten minutes from the cabin, easily accessed at Carver's Gap. A short and easy hike from there provides views of five states on clear days.
Nearby Bakersville is home to numerous craft vendors with world-famous Penland School of Crafts within a 25-minute drive. Spruce Pine, Banner Elk, Asheville, Johnson City, Boone, and North Carolina ski areas are within 45-90 minutes. This is an ideal place for family and friends to escape the fast pace of culture and be refreshed with rich fellowship, taking in creation at its best.

Friends and I enjoyed this cabin for a long weekend to celebrate New Year's Eve 2011. The cabin was beautiful with incredible views! Everything was clean, warm and inviting. The fire place was a perfect background to enjoying the weekend. We even enjoyed driving a few minutes away to hike up to the top of one of the mountain look outs for spectacular 360 degree views. Owner was fantastic to work with!! Very nice and personable - really mad the rental easy and fun. I would highly recommend this cabin, and will probably be visiting it again in the future!
Owner response:Thank you for the kind review and for taking such good care of the cabin. I am glad you were able to get up to the bald in the winter. Incredible views and a really nice hike on the AT. You are always welcome.

Thanksgiving in Bakersville

This past week was our second time to rent this house for Thanksgiving week and we plan to rent it again in the future. With our children located in Raleigh, NC and Montgomery, AL we have to plan a time to be together and the rental of this house has proved to be perfect for our family. We all love the outdoors and the Area around Bakersville offers ample opportunity to experience the outdoors at various levels of intensity. We have hiked in to remote water falls and to the Grassy Bald as well as visiting some of the local sites such as Litte Switzerland. The house is extremely comfortable, clean, restful, and well placed. We went for a daily walk up the mountain behind the house for a short walking exercise. The scene from the balcony of the Grassy Bald is fantastic! The wife loves to cook and the kitchen is perfect for preparing a Thanksgiving feast. We will be back!
Owner response:We appreciate this review and are especially glad when families use the cabin for reuniting. The area indeed provides so many opportunities to make precious memories. You are always welcome.

Very Nice Cabin with Spectacular Views

Review Submitted: 10/17/11
This was our second time staying at this property. First time was for a week in June 2008 and again for a week September 24th, 2011. Both times we were very pleased with the cabin and surrounding area. The cabin is very clean, well maintained and beds were very comfortable. A family member drove from Baltimore MD and also spent a relaxing week with us. The mountain views are breath taking and we were very pleased to spend allot of time just relaxing around the cabin enjoying the views, watching the deer coming and going every day. We made a few trips into Bakersville, Spruce Pine, Carvers Gap, Roan Mountain TN and Johnston City TN. But the trips were never very long as we wanted to come back to the Cabin to relax and enjoy the mountain views and nature. Everything listed with this property is accurate and then some. We love the peacefulness and beauty of this area and know we will be returning for a 3rd visit as well.
Owner response:We have received great joy over the years from having quality folks stay at the cabin who value and enjoy the same features of the cabin and general area as we do.

You just want to come back again and again...

I can't begin to say enough good things about this beautiful cabin. It just makes you feel so at home. The views are amazing and the cabin is so welcoming with everything you need to make your stay perfect. The owner of this cabin is such a pleasure to work with, he is very generous and very helpful should you need anything. This was our second time staying at the cabin and we couldn't imagine finding a better place to enjoy both the sights of Bakersville and the great memories we shared with our family. We can't wait until we are able to go down and stay again!

This was our second stay in the cabin, the first one was in August of this year. The mountain views are spectacular in full bloom and in the winter. If you would like peace and quiet, this is the perfect place to be in. The house is roomy, clean, and well-maintained. There is WiFi and cable for the TV. But, what impressed me the most is how helpful the owner of the cabin has been and how responsive he was to our needs and requests (not that we had many in his beautiful place). There are two houses on the right that are less than 5 minutes of walking distance, and the neighbors are friendly and very nice. During our last visit, we had about 12 inches of snow in one day, and one of the neighbors made sure that the road was passable (he has a tractor to plow the private road). He also gave us his cell number should we need other kinds of assistance. And for someone who is unfamiliar to the area, that means a lot. We are definitely coming back, and may make this our place of tranquility every time we need a break from the fast pace life we live in.

This was our first stay in this cabin but hopefully it won't be our last. We came down from Maryland and stayed for a week with extended family. The cabin was amazing, it made us feel so at home. The mountain views were out of his world. We had some family members come and visit with us during our stay and they were imppressed by how nice everything was. I can't say enough good things about this beautiful cabin.

We met here with 2 old friends and 3 family members and had an absolutely wonderful time in this delightful house. The views are spectacular, the rooms comfortable. We'd go back willingly.

This was a second year in a row in the cabin, and once again it was an excellent stay. The cabin is in a perfect location to get the feel of the mountains, with an absolutely excellent view of Roan mountain. Looking forward to coming down again.
