In search of a beautiful, quiet mountain log cabin, private yet close to everything? You will find all this and more waiting just "Around the Bend".
Around the Bend Cabin, constructed with authentic western red cedar logs, features cathedral ceilings and a stone fireplace inside, and a wrap-around porch to take in the view of the surrounding mountains & woods outside. Sharing a private road with only two other cabins, the prime Valle Crucis location is just minutes from most attractions.
Our sunny cabin features three bedrooms plus a children’s loft and three full bathrooms. The master suite, located upstairs, has a king bed and a bathroom with Jacuzzi tub. Children love the loft area, with their own tv, where they can play games on the Gamecube, or unfold the sleeper and take in a movie. The main level has two additional bedrooms, one with queen bed and private bath with a walk-in shower; the second bedroom with two twin beds. The third bathroom is located on this level as well.
Step outside onto the wraparound porch, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, or take a moonlight dip in the large hot tub. Go hiking on the property's wooded acreage, then relax inside while you snuggle into the sofa or recliners and watch the flat-screen HDTV. All four of the TV's in this home feature cable, and there are VHS and DVD players as well. Bring your laptop and take advantage of the free wireless internet! The open floor plan of the main level is perfect for family interaction, and the large windows and cathedral ceilings keep this home bright and sunny. There are toys, games, books and video's for the whole family to enjoy. And take the chill off in winter with a crackling fire in the stone fireplace. The cabin is centrally heated as well.
If you enjoy cooking, then you will find our kitchen fully stocked with all modern appliances including a dishwasher. The barbeque chef of the family will want to throw some steaks on the gas grill. Our cabin comes with fresh linens, towels and toiletries. You will feel pampered by our fluffy, hypo-allergenic pillowtops on all new mattresses. We also accommodate you with a washer/dryer. In the winter months we provide firewood, and, though it's not needed too much in our cool mountain elevation, you may enjoy our central air conditioning on a warm summer day.
When you are ready to leave the comforts of our cozy log cabin, you will find the famous Mast General Store less than 2 miles away! Within minutes are Boone, Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railroad, ASU, the Blue Ridge Parkway, four ski resorts and countless other attractions. Conveniently, supermarkets and restaurants are very close. Golfers, bring your clubs, the Willow Valley course is a two minute drive...just one mile. Fishing is just a short walk or drive to the Watauga River. The wonderful thing about our cabin is the privacy our wooded, mountain setting offers, and yet you are just 6 miles from downtown Boone.
We strive to keep our cabin hypo-allergenic, and do not allow pets or smoking anywhere on the property, sorry.
Around the Bend has paved access all the way to the cabin driveway. While we are about 3000 ft. up, 4-wheel drive is not needed here, even in winter! So come, relax, and experience a little bit of magic...it’s all just “Around the Bend!”

Perfect Location for Winter Skiing

This was our second year in a row staying at this cabin. Perfect size for our family of four, but could accomidate a larger crowd as well. Great location as situated between AppSki in Blowing Rock and Sugar Mountain in Banner Elk, easy 20 minute drive to either. Very private and quiet. What fun it was sitting in the hot tub after skiing, light snow, while watching deer walk down the hill adjacent to the cabin.

We took our son-in-law, daughter and their two little ones for a week in he mountains and this place was perfect for all of us. There are two master bedrooms and another with twin beds for the kids. We put a small crib in the third bedroom for the two year old and it worked fine. The parents used the hot tub and we all enjoyed being able to cook dinner and keep up with laundry easily. Having the video games on a separate tv upstairs was also helpful with little ones. There's plenty to do in the Boone area and there was also a wonderful playground near by with a good walking and jogging trail. The only drawback to this property was that we couldn't walk much right around the cabin. Everything is close by but if you're looking for somewhere that children can play right outside the cabin this won't work.
Owner response:While we do have a large property with an acre and a half, and a big wrap-around deck on three sides, it's never a good idea to let your 2 and 5 year olds "run out to play" unattended. There is plenty of room to walk and hike for any of our guests. We cater to so many families with young children and never had such a comment.I'm glad you had a nice stay, nevertheless!

Gorgeous western cedar cabin perfectly located in the vicinity of Boone, Valle Crucis, Blowing Rock, the Zip Line, and much, much more. I used the cabin as my base camp while attending the BMW vintage motorcycle rally in Boone, and it provided a welcome comfort after a day of riding through the mountains. Guaranteed to get wet during this season, it only made coming home to this cozy little cabin and its easy to use hot tub even more inviting. A lot more privacy than most cabins, and I chose to stay in the master suite upstairs because it felt like I was in a treehouse will all the trees outside of the window. All amenities were on hand, so I didn't require much except small things like fresh berries, and eggs to enjoy on their outside little bistro table. Very organized, and charming, I will surely recommend Carol and Ray's home to all of my friends, and will definitely return again. Thank you soo much!!

Just returned home today from our stay in this beautiful cabin! Everything was just as it is described & better. Extremely clean & everything you need is in the cabin. Hottub is wonderful...we saw deer in the woods around the cabin several times while enjoying the hot tub. Owners are great to deal with & check in/out very simple. We will never stay in a hotel when visiting this area again. I would highly recommend a vacation in this cabin!

The cabin is great. We were there for our son's graduation from ASU and the weekend was perfect. There were three generations together and we used Around the Bend as our home base. The home is beautiful and so clean and comfortable. The location is just what we were looking for. Close to Boone but also peaceful and quiet. We all enjoyed the beautiful deck and hot tub. Went to Valle Crucis for Mom's Day and had a wonderful time, would recommend it. The owners were great to work with and it was just a good experience overall. It's the first time we've done VRBO and I wish we would have thought of it 4 years ago! So much nicer than a hotel.

What a wonderful place. We have stayed at some very nice places throughout the country but this one wins.Quiet,peaceful and secluded. We felt as though the woods were all ours.An easy drive to the many sights around the country and oh,, the hot tub, just the right relaxer after chasing our golf balls all over the mountain courses.Needless to say, we would recommend this property to any and all mountain lovers.

Beautiful cabin close to Boone. Our daughter is a student at Appalachian State and the location was perfect for a visit. The cabin has every amenity, is extremely well maintained, and the owners are a pleasure to do business with. This was the first time that we had rented a cabin. After doing much research online, we chose "Around the Bend". We'll definitely be back.

This cabin was wonderful! My husband and I traveled with our four children and the cabin fit us like a glove. We hiked, traveled the Blue Ridge Parkway, went fishing, shopped at the General Mast store, etc. The cabin was in a perfect location for us! The pictures do not do it justice! Carol is a wonderful host and we would definitely stay there again!! This was one of the best vacations we have ever had.

Our stay at Around The Bend was perfect. The location is ideal, easy to get to but still secluded. The cabin is in pristine condition and roomy! We appreciated the nicely equipped kitchen, the games and books, plus maps and area information you sent. Thank you!
