Experience the authenticity of Mammaw and Pappaw Darnell’s home place ½ miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway and across the street from the Raccoon Holler Campground lake. The beautiful lake is right in front of the home place. Used to about 5 years ago, there was no water or bathroom in this cabin. After Mammaw passed away, it was our dream to restore the home and leave the rooms as Mammaw had them in order to share the love of the cabin with others. Now complete with granite counter tops, hardwood floors, and whirlpool tub with it has all the modern day luxuries. You will really enjoy your time here – two bedrooms (i.e., three full beds as two are upstairs in one room), full bathtub, separate shower, washer dryer, dishwasher microwave, hardwood floors, natural beams etched with pine hardwood to provide the rustic cabin feel yet with the modern day appliances of comfort including flat screen cable television.

Sit on the front porch and look at the lake, view the lake from the kitchen, living room and upstairs bedroom. This home place offers authenticity and comfort. Convenient to Jefferson and West Jefferson, 22 miles out the Blue Ridge Parkway to Boone and a mile from the famous Northwest Trading Post, right off the Blue Ridge Parkway, 15 miles from Wilkesboro, come home to Raccoon Holler.

                    My husband and I fell in love with this cabin. It is in a perfect location near the Parkway and was easily accessible to town and anywhere else we wanted to go. Denver and his mother were very helpful and answered all of our questions quickly. The cabin is clean, offered all we needed for cooking and living there for a week. I really hope that I get the opportunity to stay there again very soon!

                    After moving out of Ashe County a few months ago to TX, we needed to return to finish up some business. My sister from Little Rock joined us. The cabin was perfect for us three seniors. . .the location with easy access to both Jefferson & W Jefferson (right off the Blue Ridge Parkway); great kitchen with everything we needed; fireplace; plenty of beds; kept warm as the temps dropped (even the snowfall was beautiful); satellite tv and internet! And a view to boot! We appreciate so much the opportunity to stay there. . .the owner and his family was delightful to work with. Thank you for making it affordable. . .we cannot say enough good things about it. If and when we ever need to return to Ashe, we would definitely like to stay again!

                    My husband & I were looking for a weekend getaway to spend time with each other and just relax from the hustle of everyday life. I came across this wonderful home and could not pass it up. The photos of the place are beautiful but to see it in person is really another story. The home is very cozy and very quiet. We took our 2 fur-babies and they enjoyed the stay as well. They lounged by the gas fire place and soaked up the peaceful quiet. The home has everything you need, master bed was comfy and the jet tub was awesome. There is not a tremendous amount to do around there so if you are looking for "stuff" to do like theme parks & such this is not your place, but if you are looking for a quiet place to relax, unwind and soak up all of God's wonderful gifts...this is a great place to visit!

                    We had a wonderful vacation here last summer. While we were thinking of our next mountain trip, I realized I had yet to leave a review, so here goes... If what you are looking for is an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, this is your place. It's just a short drive to Boone if you'd like to have a dinner out. The finishes are beautiful and the scenery is picturesque. Everything about this place urges you to sit back and rest. We loved every minute and will definitely be back soon!

                    This place is warm, sturdy, clean, safe, with a rustic feel, yet modern kitchen and bathroom, and comfortable beds. This was my second stay, and I was very pleased both times.

                    We were very pleased with out experience and stay at Denver's property. He was easy to work with and very quick to respond to any inquiry we had. The property was very easy to find. Even though it had snowed prior to our stay, it was easy to get to the property due to the clean and flat roads. Once we arrived at the cabin, we found a nice welcome note. If you have any concerns or needs, there are local contacts that you can contact as well. The house has a very nice interior. The house is nicely remodeled, especially the kitchen and the bathroom. There are hardwood floors throughout the home, which were also beautiful. The downstairs bed was very comfy, although, if you're like me and need a pillow fortress, you may need to bring an extra pillow or two. Other than that, everything you could possibly need was provided. Although the home was not tucked away in the woods, it was still very private as cars rarely even drove past the house. I imagine in the summertime it is a very active area due to the campground across the road, but the campground itself also adds to the beautiful scenery. We look forward to going back to Denver's home soon. We have already recommended this home to several of our friends.

                    We had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas here. The cabin is very comfortable with a cozy gas fireplace and a luxurious kitchen and bath. It was so nice to watch the snow fall while soaking in the jacuzzi bath after a long trip. My husband and I, along with our Labrador retriever, enjoyed the easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and many hiking trails close by, including one to view a beautiful waterfall. Denver and his family were gracious hosts. They decorated two tabletop Christmas trees and had other holiday touches ready for us. They also checked on us during a windstorm, but we were snug and enjoying it. Since the campground across the street is closed in winter, the area was very peaceful and we enjoyed the view of the lake out the living room window. West Jefferson is an easy twenty minute drive from the cabin. On the way to it's charming downtown you will pass a grocery and pharmacy, making it easy to find everything you need. We are hoping to make this an annual tradition!

                    We knew that this house would be close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, but we didn't realize that the property was actually adjacent to the parkway buffer. There was a National Park Service boundary marker at the edge of the yard! We took advantage of this proximity to walk from the house a short distance to the Mountains-to-Sea Trail during our visit. We recommend hiking south to the Jumpinoff Rock Trail overlook (about 3.5 miles) for a moderate walk to a picnic spot with an expansive view. The house itself was cozy and well-equipped, with an updated kitchen that was a pleasure to cook in and all the warmth we needed during the frosty nights. It had the comforts of home, and then some! The Jacuzzi tub was a pleasant luxury after a day of hiking, and the living room, with its gas fireplace, was a soothing area to relax in each evening. In terms of improvement, we suggest that the owner create a welcome card with more local information and checkout procedures. We weren't sure where to dispose the trash, for example. Otherwise, we had a very enjoyable trip, and we hope to visit the Blue Ridge Mountains again soon!

                    My wife and I absolutely loved the cabin. It was everything the description said and more. We booked it particularly to have Thanksgiving there, and the kitchen was fully stocked. Also, someone already had Christmas decorations out, which was a great touch. Our cats, in particular, loved the gas fireplace, and my wife loved the hot tub. The owner is extremely nice, and when my wife mentioned she had to do work at the cabin, he had wifi hooked up! I mean, THAT is customer service. I'd definitely recommend the cabin to anyone looking to get away. It is close to the Parkway (literally steps away), Boone and West Jefferson. Assuming you even want to leave the cabin, which we did not!

                    This cabin is perfect! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation. Literally just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Absolutely beautiful views! Only thing I recommend is the owners updating the television stations. Hard to find anything good to watch on TV, so my husband and I rented movies from a Red Box. We will definetely be backto visit again soon!
