Location: Dobson, Heartland, North Carolina, USA (The Cabin is Within 20 Minutes of Fancy Gap)
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
This cabin was built from old tobacco barns and is authentic as they come while having all of the amenities of home!
You truly must see it to believe it. It is very secluded, with only one other resident on the road and sitting on almost 4 acres. No one lives on either side and the only visitors one might receive is a very friendly border collie named "Emme" from a neighboring horse farm.
There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms inside the cabin. A full kitchen and wonderful "living area" are separated by a beautiful stone fireplace with a wood burner on one side and a wood stove on the other.
There is also a separate cabin that sleeps two and is akin to a studio apartment. There is not a bathroom in that cabin and it is heated using electric heat.
There is a lovely bubbling creek just a short walk through the woods, where you will find a wonderful deck and hammocks or chairs to cozy up in with a good book. It's a great place to truly enjoy nature.
Shelton Vineyards is within 1/2 a mile "as the crow flies", and a short drive from the cabin. It is the largest vineyard in the State and has a wonderful restaurant on site. Tours and wine tastings are available as well.
There are many other vineyards located in the "Yadkin Valley" and information is readily available online.
The final stretch of road (approx 1/4 mile), leading to the cabin is bumpy but certainly passable, even in rainy weather.
All part of the rustic/back to nature features of this charming cabin!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
I am a business owner of a recycling company in the Piedmont section of the state. I work hard and when I need a break, I head north to Dobson. I have two children, one a senior at NCSU and the other, a freshman at Wake Forest University. I am 57 years old and can't wait for others to enjoy the cabin as much as I have, since purchasing it in 2006. Up until this point it has been just for my family and friends, but I've decided to share it with good people like you who I know will enjoy it and take care of it like it was yours.
Why the Owner Chose Dobson
I describe the cabin as being at the "top" of the foothills. You can see mountain ranges all around, but it is still very convenient from the Burlington area to get to. Less than 2 hours. The first time I saw the cabin I knew I had to have it. It's authentic, secluded, and a corner of the property borders Shelton Vineyards property. There are vineyards all around and I enjoy visiting them and participating in many of the special events that are offered year 'round.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
When I'm at the cabin all of the weight of the world disappears. It is peaceful, serene and ever so cozy! Every now and then one might hear a distant neighbor operating equipment, but not often. I call the cabin my "slice of heaven". The creek is a short walk down a well marked path through the woods. I have built a deck by the creek and hammocks are available to swing on while listening to the creek and reading a good book. Napping in the hammock is hard to fight!

Homeowner Response:
It was my pleasure having you girls at the cabin...I will clarify that the distance to Mt. Airy and "The Depot" restuarant is more like 15-20 minutes. Glad you enjoyed your stay!
