About this property

Simply Irresistible: Authentic Log Cabin

The mountain views and privacy this genuine log cabin offers are irresistible. From the quaint drive along a country road through the woods, you will often pass cattle before you are welcomed with the site of hand-made rocking chairs and hot tub on a full porch. Once inside, you will feel warm and cozy surrounded by 200 year old timber walls, comfortable furniture, and a gas-burning fireplace. The kitchen is large and very well-equipped for cooking, baking, and gathering together. The main floor master bedroom offers a luxurious king size bed, while a second bedroom offers a queen bed. Upstairs you’ll find a large bedroom with two twin beds and one queen bed, as well as an en suite bathroom with a beautiful slipper tub. While rustic in decor, this cabin offers all the modern amenities for those who still need connection: fast WI-FI, unlimited domestic phone service, and satellite TV. Approx 30 minutes (19mi) to Boone or Jefferson (22mi), and only 22 minutes to Mountain City, TN (11mi). Approx. One Hour (33 miles) to popular ski hills. There are three security cameras on the property, covering the front yard, back yard, and front door.

Hello, everything was great. Sorry, we didn’t run the dishwasher as we didn’t see tabs for it. Great quiet place, automatic gate openers would be great but had a great time. Thanks.

We enjoyed our quiet and restful time at this wonderful cabin. It was interesting to walk through the cabin and see the pictures, sculptures and old appliances. The spacious kitchen was a special highlight allowing for plenty of room to move around. We picked a perfect time to visit with the Fall colors just starting to show from the nice view in the Sunroom. Draco, our German Shepherd, especially liked this location so he could watch the cows. :-) The best I can say is that this will become our repeat destination and we look forward to touring more of the area in the future.

Pictures didn’t do it justice. It was a beautiful location. A well kept home. Very clean and inviting. There was absolutely everything we needed and extras that most host don’t provide. It was a wonderful trip our only regret was we couldn’t stay longer. It’s 30 minutes out of town and worth the drive! We met the neighbors and explored the trails. It was safe enough for our toddler but also perfect for the adults. We couldn’t thank the host enough for sharing such a beautiful slice of heaven.

There was supposed to be a working fire place but couldn’t find a way to turn on the gas fire place. The guide said a remote could be found on the mantle but there wasn’t a remote to be found for the fire place. Other than that we had a wonderful time staying in the mountain cabin. Thank you for allowing us to stay. The Veach’s

Family Wedding in Mountain City

It was everything we were hoping for! Peace and quiet, various activities for the family, like hot tub, foosball, and plenty of land for hiking. We attended a family wedding at a venue nearby, but most of our time was spent at the VRBO property and it was heaven! Owners were very easy to get a hold of and quick to respond with someone nearby if we needed a face-to-face as we did. We would definitely stay again

Definitely Irresistible

The cabin was absolutely perfect for families, and was very thoughtfully stocked with lots of toys and games to entertain children of all ages. The cabin was warm and inviting, however the beautiful view and peaceful surroundings will certainly draw you outside. The worst part of the trip was having to leave
