Why the Owner Chose Blowing Rock
We chose to purchase a vacation rental in this location because of the many and varied, wonderful activities that this area has to offer.
The Unique Benefits at this Cedar Log Cabin
A Cabin in the Woods is located on 22 acres with hiking trails that lead to creeks and views of the woods. It is secluded and peaceful, yet only minutes from town. It is the best of both worlds.
Owner's Map of Blowing Rock
My husband and I lived in the Florida Keys, but had been coming up to the mountains each summer to hike. Each time we came up, it seemed like we stayed longer and longer! We began looking for property, thinking that we would like to have a summer home. After a few years, we found a beautiful 22 acre piece of property just outside of the town of Blowing Rock and built a log cabin. We have since then moved up here to the nearby city of Lenoir. We love the four seasons and all of the different activities that each season offers. Our cabin is nestled in the woods and gives us a feeling of calm serenity.

This has been the best vacation we've ever had! We love the cabin and everything it has to offer. The kids learned so much here and had so much fun doing it, we have memories from here that are priceless! Thank you for sharing your cabin. I wish I could tell you our favorite part, but everyday was as good or better than the day before.

Great place! Exactly what we were looking for. Very secluded and quiet, yet still very convenient to Blowing Rock and Boone. We will be back!

We love the quiet solitude of A Cabin in the Woods. Located on 22 acres, there is plenty to explore. Once in a while, we spot a few deer or wild turkey passing by the stream below. When things get too quiet, we slip away to visit one of the many attractions or hikes in the surrounding area. One of our favorites is Grandfather Mountain. The kids love to see the native animals, visit the educational center, and walk across the mile high swinging bridge. It seems like there is a festival or cultural event every weekend somewhere. Appalachian State University, located in Boone, puts on some wonderful plays and musicals. The Mast General Store has a wonderful selection of mountain wares, backpacking equipment and the best old-fashioned candy store around. Appalachian Ski Mountain is just minutes away with tubing, ice skating, and dining offered, along with skiing, it has a vaiety of activities for everyone. The Blue Ridge Parkway is also a beautiful drive in any season, especially the fall. A nice dinner out on the porch, or in one of Blowing Rock's wonderful restaurants is a great way to end your day.
