About this property

Cabin in Wonderful Mountaintop Setting

Welcome to Breathe Easy!

Breathe Easy is a chic log cabin offering rustic elegance with a designer flair in a wonderful mountaintop setting. The home has impressive long-range views including a straight-on view of the famous Grandfather Mountain. Unlike many mountain homes, Breathe Easy has a relaxed, flat yard area around the home with easy parking and turnaround. The home is built with reclaimed barn wood and has fine woodwork, leather furniture, interesting antiques, and designer finishes. The outdoor space features a walkout fire pit and a comfortable sitting area in the front yard with a rocking chair front porch.

Breathe Easy is located just minutes from the famous Mast General Store in scenic Valle Crucis and the Valle Crucis Community Riverfront Park. The home is about 10 minutes from Boone. Close by attractions includes Tweetsie Railroad theme park, Grandfather Mountain, Sugar Mountain Ski Area, Appalachian Ski Mountain, Hawks Nest Zip Line and Snow Tubing, High Gravity Adventures Climbing Park, Wahoo's Whitewater Rafting, and much more.

Breathe Easy is accessed by a steep paved driveway. It is plowed in the wintertime. As with all our homes, 4WD and tire chains are necessary for Winter access to this property. In Summer, the home is accessible with 2WD, but guests should be prepared for a steep climb.

Must be at least 25 years of age to book.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Our stay at Breathe Easy was amazing. The cabin is immaculate and beautifully decorated. The views are amazing endless and the yard has something for everyone. Please take time to read the story of how the cabin came to be- and you will have even more appreciation for this magical place. Thank you, Russell and Christy for sharing what you have built with our family. We can’t wait to come back.

Great location and good mountain view

The cabin was very cozy, clean, and in a great spot for mountain relaxing. We enjoyed how close to downtown it was. I would highly recommend staying here. Our hosts went above and beyond to make sure everything was OK.

It was absolutely magical. It was a beautiful view however the interior of the cabin was just amazing. The work that went into this cabin was meticulous and so well done. We stayed 4 days which wasn’t nearly enough. We hope to return for at least a week. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay and Russell and Christy were amazing.

Most beautiful and relaxing home/setting you will ever stay.

The cabin was everything we could have hoped for. The setting is absolutely stunning and there was so much for our kids to enjoy both outside and in. We have stayed many places and this is by far our favorite stay ever.

Great getaway location

Terrific place for a family getaway. Outdoor play area and basement games were a huge hit with the kids (5 and 8). Peaceful location close to hiking and a few charming towns.It's worth noting that the upstairs bedroom isn't completely closed off from the downstairs living area, so we upgraded the kids to the master bedroom to help bedtime go smoothly.Definitely would stay again!

Perfect Family Getaway

We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Breath Easy! The cabin is truly perfect, we have 3 young boys, and they had the best time, and I am sure it is a vacation they will remember forever. Every detail is thought out, and the owner is so kind. The location of the cabin is also really nice, with only being a short drive to town. We hope to be back one day!

Perfect getaway

Our family loved this little gem of a cabin! The views are amazing and in a great location to get around the area. The kids particularly loved the tree house and the ping pong table. We didn't feel like we had to schedule many activities because just being at the cabin was enough to keep them busy. We'll be back!
