Authentic Private Log Cabin! Hot Tub, Views, Internet, Fireplace, Air Condition
You're going to love our brand new King and Queen beds! In search of a beautiful, quiet mountain log cabin, private yet close to everything? You will find all this and more waiting just 'Around the Bend'.
Around the Bend Cabin, constructed with authentic western red cedar logs, features cathedral ceilings and a stone fireplace inside, and a wrap-around porch to take in the view of the surrounding mountains & woods. Sharing a private road with only two other cabins, (only 1 can be seen) the prime Valle Crucis location is just minutes from most attractions.
Our sunny cabin features three bedrooms plus a children’s loft and three bathrooms. The master suite, has a king bed and a bathroom with Jacuzzi tub. Children love the loft area, with their own TV, where they can play video games, and watch movies. The main level has two additional bedrooms, one with queen bed and private bath with a walk-in shower; the second bedroom with two twin beds. The third bathroom is located on this level as well.
Step outside onto the wraparound porch, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, or take a moonlight dip in the hot tub. Explore the property's wooded acreage, then relax inside while you snuggle into the sofa and recliners, and enjoy our SmartTV / HDTV, with hundreds of cable channels. Though ours is a Log Cabin, you will find additional TV's, VHS and DVD players as well. Bring your laptops, etc. and love our high speed wireless internet!
The open floor plan of the main level is perfect for family interaction, and the large windows and cathedral ceilings keep our home bright and sunny. There are toys, games, books and videos for the whole family to enjoy. Take the chill off in winter with a crackling fire in the stone fireplace. The cabin is centrally heated as well.
If you enjoy cooking, then you will find our kitchen fully stocked with all modern appliances including a dishwasher. Barbecue all year long, on our gas grill. Our cabin comes with fresh linens, towels and toiletries. Though it's not needed too much in our cool mountain elevation, you may enjoy our central air conditioning on a warm summer day.
When you are ready to leave the comforts of our cozy log cabin, you will find the famous Original Mast General Store less than 2 miles away! Within minutes are Boone, Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railroad, ASU, the Blue Ridge Parkway, four ski resorts and countless other attractions. Conveniently, supermarkets and restaurants are very close. Golfers, bring your clubs; the Willow Valley course is just 1 mile down the road. Fishing is just a short walk or drive to the Watauga River. The wonderful thing about our cabin is the privacy, and yet you are just 3 miles from downtown Boone.
We strive to keep our cabin hypo-allergenic, and do not allow pets or smoking anywhere on the property, sorry. 4WD or chains are recommended only in the winter.
Around the Bend has paved access all the way to the cabin driveway. So come, relax, and experience a little bit of magic...it’s all just “Around the Bend!” ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Peaceful location in he woods, excellent location close to Appalachian State University, 30-40 min drive to Grandfather Mountain, Linville Gorge. Excellent communication with owners, clean, comfy home with wood burning fireplace. We spent a day rock climbing, a day hiking at Grandfather Mountain and Linville, and a day touring App State. Would stay here again!
Excellent communication with owner! Cabin was clean and an everything needed for a wonderful stay. Wonderful location. I hope to visit this cabin again soon.

Thank you for your kind words and helpful input. Welcome back to our cabin any time!
The cabin is as described, not huge but perfect size for our party of 6, I will say that you can hear everything downstairs and vice versa. The views are okay, but the cabin is in between Boone and easy access to the ski resorts, grandfather mountain and snow tubing. The host is very responsive as well and accommodating.
This was our third year staying at this cabin over the Thanksgiving holiday. The cabin is wonderful and super clean. We really enjoyed the hut tub and wood burning fire place. It's secluded but close to many local attractions. Communication with the host was excellent. Probably be back next year.

Dear Douglas and family, Thank you so much for your kind words. We're up at the cabin now checking on things, and we LOVE the notes you left us on the fridge (especially the drawing by your daughter!) We hope you can come again. -- Carol & Ray
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cabin with my husband and two daughters. The cabin was delightful—well-appointed, cozy, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, peaceful views, and quiet privacy surrounded by nature. The location was perfect—tucked away but still close to Boone, Blowing Rock, and the heart of Valle Crucis. A perfect mountain getaway for our family!

Great Getaway Cabin
We enjoyed our second stay at this great cabin just outside of Valle Crucis. It is quiet, in a beautiful location, and is in the heart of the High Country with quick access to the mountains and to Boone.
