About this property

Welcome to the Cozy Moose Cabin! Located in Purlear, NC on Buck Mountain, a private gated 3,400-acre community, this Pet Free/Smoke Free cabin is located only 20 minutes from Boone and 35 minutes from Blowing Rock via the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway.

While we love Fluffy and Fido, pets are NOT allowed at this property as the owner is extremely allergic. This is a NON-SMOKING/NON-VAPING/NO HUNTING property.

About the host
Hosted by Tammy and Joe
We fell in love with the High Country years ago and had been renting cabins for many years prior to buying one of our own. We have owned and rented The Cozy Moose Cabin for 11 years now. We don't use a property management company, so you'll always be dealing directly with us and we are always available before or during your visit in case you have any questions about the area, things to do or places to eat.
Why they chose this property
We found it was always very hard to find a less expensive cabin for quick weekend getaways for two - they always seemed to be geared towards a larger group for the rental. This cabin only has two bedrooms and two baths but it is 1,550 square feet and affords some room to move around and not feel cramped. And it comes with a great view off the back deck!
What makes this property unique
This cabin is located on 10.5 acres, hidden from the road and is very quiet and easy to access. It is serene and peaceful, and it allows you to turn off your brain and just relax :-)
