About this property
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!” ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
BASE RATES: $135 to $185. HOLIDAYS: 4-7 NIGHT MINIMUM unless there is a gap in calendar. For Holidays, large families, or cabin sharing, rates may be higher. SORRY NO PETS/NO SMOKING anywhere on the property. OCTOBER: 7 NIGHT MINIMUM. Christmas and New Year's WEEK, 7 night minimum. Check for 2 NIGHT last minute RESERVATIONS!
