Feb Sale - Stay 3 Nts for the Price of 2 - Log Cabin on Stream
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Boone
Our daughter attended Appalachian State University in Boone, NC and while visiting her we took an immediate liking to the High Country. While Boone can be congested with traffic at times we decided to purchase a log cabin over in southern Ashe County. This area is much quieter with less traffic than Boone but is only 20 minutes away. We wanted to be near the New River and Blue Ridge Parkway. Both are about 10 minutes away as is the quaint town of West Jefferson.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
We enjoy listening to the babbling stream that flows directly by the cabin while enjoying the mornings first cup of coffee. We also like to walk our dogs down the quiet wooded lane next to the cabin. There's a hot tub on the covered porch that we enjoy relaxing in after a busy day. There's also several rocking chairs and Adirondack chairs that we love to sit and relax in. We like cooking out on the Weber gas grill with our family and friends too. The cabin is truly located in a beautiful peaceful setting consisting of Rhododendrons, Hemlocks and native wildflowers yet convenient to shopping and restaurants. We hope you will visit Babbling Brook Cabin soon.

Owner's Map of Boone
Hello, we are the Johnsons and we are native North Carolinians. We love to travel to our log cabin in Todd, NC with our 2 Mini-Dachshunds named Max and Gunner. We enjoy the peace and solitude the cabin and area offers. We live 3 hours away and when we're not at the cabin, we rent it so others will get to enjoy it. We love spending as much time at the cabin as possible.

You will be glad you pick this cabin to stay in! My first impression was: "This cabin is NEAT AND CLEAN!" And - it is in a beautiful setting with the creek, and privacy and everything else to boot! The welcome wagon doggie- I called her Lucy, is just the sweetest thing! Everything about our stay was so wonderful. The tranquility of the setting was so relaxing. My favorite was the front porch swing, where I took my coffee every morning. There are so many places to visit close by. We recommend the Cheese Factory in West Jefferson. Todd is an Historical little town just minutes away, along the New River, where you can canoe, tube, and/or kayak. Todd General Store makes the Best Sandwiches! I loved the Grilled Portobello Mushroom sandwich so much, we went there twice for lunch! The bakery in Todd is excellent, and they have WIFI! You should see the frescos at Glendale Springs. A local artist, Ben Long, from Statesville, NC did them, and they are really a treat to see. We took a picnic lunch up on Mount Jefferson, and enjoyed breath-taking views. We did not want to leave. Thank you,Carolina Mtn. Properties, your friendliness and helpfulness will not be forgotten. And last, but not least- thank You for letting us stay in your adorable home for a much needed get-a-way. I will recommend your place to all of my friends. Sorry to be so long, but you have to see this place to believe it. Pictures just do not do it justice. Andrea and Joseph

My husband and I and our two dogs had such a wonderful time at Babbling Brook! The location of the cabin on a quiet lane gave us the peace and quiet we needed to relax and the fire pit where we roasted marshmallows took us down memory lane to when we were kids. The antique decor stole our hearts! Our two dogs enjoyed all the woodsy smells and just relaxing on either of the porches with us. At the cabin we felt far away from the world but it was a comfort to know the world wasn't too far in case we needed it...like when we had a pet emergency at the beginning of our stay, it was so great to have an animal hospital with such a caring staff 10 minutes down the road in the town of West Jefferson. And who can live without a Walmart for any little things you forget to pack? West Jefferson has you covered! I know we'll be back to Babbling Brook!
Recommended for:Pet owners, sightseeing.
Perfect getaway

This cabin was very nice. We mostly enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace. We absolutely loved your cabin, it was very cozy and homey. We loved the visits from the dog. Even though we don't know her name, we decided to call her Sady. Hope to be back soon. Thanks!

Thank you for letting us enjoy your lovely home. We were surprised with a snow shower just as we left. A wonderful end to a great weekend here. Your cabin is a dream of ours some day, all the necessities and some special additions without too much. It felt like we had entered a simpler time without sacrificing the comforts of modern homes. Thanks again.

We asked God to lead us somewhere we could retreat, rest, reflect and leave revived. There is no doubt that God lead us here. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your retreat. We pray that God bless you and your family and continue to bless others through this cabin.

Very nice cabin to stay in. Loved all the extra amenities like the hot tub and jacuzzi that we don't have back home. Foosball table was a great extra as well. This was definitely a great get-away. Thanks.

We loved, loved, loved your cabin. The porches were a big hit! It was really relaxing. We also liked the little firepit area down by the creek, and so did the dogs. Thanks for letting us stay here.

Thank you for the extra care and for knowing what people want in a cottage in the woods! We must have put more hours on the front porch swing than anyone! We especially loved having "Pup" the welcome wagon around! We truly hope to be back.

We cannot express our joy we felt, spending a wonderful week at your cabin! The cabin was more beautiful than the internet pictures could show and the "feeling" here was so comforting and warm. We cooked on the grill, sat by the campfire cooking hotdogs on a stick, and then marshmallows. This week has been a dream come true! We played foosball and had brought our own games and dvds. Enjoyed the hot tub too. A sweet dog also made our stay "a little more like home". The dog came by a couple times each day to play with us and allow us to love her and hug her. We hope that if she visits other guests, that they will appreciate her as much as we did.
