From the time you turn off Hwy 194 (only 3 miles to ASU) onto the private bridge over Howards Creek, the property becomes a tranquil retreat and yet so close to town.
You will notice the rock wall backdrop as you drive up the driveway (Plenty of room for several vehicles). As you enter the cabin there is a screened porch with a sectional as well as a gas grill that is permanently connected to a gas line (no need to change out tanks) and a gas burning fireplace. It is cozy with a 4-person high-top table and hanging low-lit lighting for any time of the day.
The cabin is well equipped with a large kitchen to include all items needed for family meals as well as a dining room that sits 8 adults comfortably. The kitchen has been updated with new appliances and is fully stocked for your needs. The living room has a gas burning fireplace so no need to cut wood. The staircase, mantel and most furniture have been custom made by a local artist.
On the main level there are 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Bedroom 1 has a king size custom bed with new mattress. There is a full bathroom in this suite and is decorated in a deer theme. Bedroom 2 (also on main level) has a queen custom made cedar bed and is decorated in a bear theme. As you make your way up the staircase, you will find 3 more bedrooms as well as a full bathroom with tile shower. Ready for some fun - Upstairs boasts a game room to include a pool table, ping-pong table, Pac-Man video game and 9 foot shuffle-board game.
The front porch sits facing Howards Creek and you can often see deer or other forest animals roaming the property. You will find custom made cedar rockers on the front porch and the private 7 person hot-tub which is located under a gazabo and offers mood lighting.
Private hiking trails over the 5-acres and along the stocked trout stream offer 2 fire pits (1 at the home and 1 by the stream). Furry Friends are welcome with deposit only. Please email and have all pets accounted for prior to renting.
Occupancy & Additional Guest Fee - To keep our nightly rates as affordable as possible for couples and small families, the base rate includes up to 4 guests.
Additional guests are welcome! For groups larger than four, there is a $15 per person, per night fee for each additional guest.
This modest fee helps offset the increased costs associated with hosting larger groups. By pricing this way, we're able to offer a lower base rate for smaller groups while still accommodating larger families and gatherings.

Spacious comfortable home. Brought our grandchildren and they loved the game room and the hot tub! Close to town, plenty of linens, towels etc. Host was easy to get in touch with. Glad to be in the cool mountains!!!!
We had a family gathering for my 60th Birthday with my kids and grandkids. I found this property and I have to say it was perfect. I have stayed in Boone many times over the years but this was by far the best.Our host was incredible and was so easy to communicate with. The property was beautiful, clean, and centrally located. Every one enjoyed the relaxing environment and they all want to go back.Thank you so much Tammy for being a part of my family getaway and celebration.
This property was excellent and fulfilled all of our needs and then some. Although it rained everyday of our vacation the outside patio created an amazing space that cultivated deep conversation and built lifetime memories. A wonderful place to celebrate my 50th with my life long friends.
This rustic cabin had everything and more! It was very clean with a well stocked kitchen! Beautifully decorated too! We enjoyed the pool table especially on our rainy day. Sitting on the porch with our coffee, relaxing by the fire pit, and grilling on the gas grill in the screened in porch was especially fun! The weather was perfect! We escaped the extreme heat to come cool off in the mountains, and found much needed relief!! Our 2 dogs had a blast on their “sniffari” around the property! Our host, Tammy, was easy to contact and very polite in her messages, however, we didn’t need a thing because everything was supplied for us!The only thing we can think of that may be needed is another dehumidifier for the upstairs. But it wasn’t that much of a problem for us during our stay. Thank you for sharing your amazing cabin with us!! We will definitely be back soon!
Great hosts. Great house . Great location ! Loved the beds and linens. Very user friendly kitchen with anything you might need to cook at home but location is awesome and close to dining options and shopping. Will surely visit again.
The cabin and property were beautiful with a secluded feeling close to everything! The beds were so comfortable and we will definitely be back! The driveway is steep so be careful of it snows to be weary of 2wd.
We had a fantastic stay at this cabin! The place was clean and fully stocked. We enjoyed the game room and the outdoor spaces. The owner was very responsive when we had an issue with the hot tub. It was fixed the next day! We'd definitely recommend this cabin for large groups.
This was an awesome cabin!! It was not far from downtown Boone. There was plenty of shops and restaurants around. Tweetsie Railroad is just 15 mins away too! Great view of creek below! Bedrooms was spacious and beds slept great! Game room upstairs was a definite plus! Screened porch was very cozy and front porch had wonderful rocking chairs! Hot tub was nice too! Definitely would reccommend this cabin for family getaway! Worth every penny!
