If you are looking for a Rustic Retreat getaway in the NC mountains, we've got just the place for you! This log cabin home is brand new, and just recently built. So it has all the modern luxuries of home, but gives you the feeling of being in your private mountain retreat!
Located in McDowell County, approx. 10 miles south of the town of Marion, NC. It is situated below I-40 just off of Hwy 226 South. The cabin is in the gated log home community of Hidden Lake.
All rooms are located on the main level of the home, with just the loft on the 2nd level. There is a ramp leading to the cabins front door, making entering easy for everyone. A table & chair set is here for those wishing to sit on the front porch.
Once inside, you enter the large great room, dining area, and kitchen. All brand new major appliances are in the kitchen, which is well stocked with all the cookware you will need. A beautiful log dining table, chairs & bench offer seating for at least 7. In the living room there is a large sofa (which has a pullout bed), love seat and TV with DirecTV service, DVD's and VHS tapes. A gas log fireplace finishes out the room.
The Master bedroom also has a TV, arm chair, and opens out to a cozy screened-in porch. The Master bath is accessible from the Master bedroom and features a walk-in shower, single vanity sink, toilet, jetted tub, and a stackable washer & dryer hidden in the corner.
The other 2 bedrooms are located on the other side of the home with the guest bath in the middle of them. That bath features a tub/shower combo, with single vanity sink & toilet.
A circular staircase leads up to the 2nd level loft. Here you will find a combo game table with pool & air hockey, which is just great for the kids! A futon is located here for additional sleeping, along with other games & books. There is a very cute log table & chair set here too that overlooks the living area below.
On the back deck is a propane grill, and a table and chair set for dining outside. Nice long-range mountain views are more prominent during the winter months from here.
Guests staying in this Rustic Retreat also have access to the community common areas featuring a small 10-acre fishing lake (swimming not allowed in the lake). If you have a small canoe or kayak, you are welcome to bring that with you (as there are none to rent) and use it in the lake. Fishing is catch & release only.
There are also picnic tables & grills in this area for your use. Sitting above the lake is the seasonal in-ground pool and a poolhouse with bathroom & shower facilities. Other common areas include a streamside park with more picnic tables, grills & a horseshoe pit. And there are some nature walking trails as well.
Please book your stay with us at the Rustic Retreat in Hidden Lake today!
