What a perfect cabin! Great location for so many different activities. We chose the wineries since some of the trails were still closed. Cabin is just as is advertised but with so many additional extras! Our golden retriever loved the place too! Will definitely be back up to stay here again!!

The most amazing rental property we have ever stayed in! Fully-equipped, clean, comfortable home in a secluded peaceful setting. Krista is a gracious host and provided personal touches that made our stay extra special! Bonus that this is a dog-friendly home so our puppers could join us on our adventure! Highly recommend Yona Ridge for a relaxing stay close to all that the NC mountains have to offer!

Yona Ridge was perfect in every way! Location was ideal for amazing hikes within a 10-15min drive (we did Jonas Ridge to Hawksbill one day, and Linville Falls the next). The house was conveniently close to a major road but still felt very private and secluded. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, and we had everything we needed. Lots of thoughtful details everywhere! We spent so much time on the decks and kids enjoyed exploring the little yard. Definitely planning to come back!

Yona Ridge Cabin was the PERFECT place for my husband and I to recharge after dropping our son off at App State for his sophomore year. It’s just far enough away from the crowded streets of Boone to enjoy the serene peace, and close enough to pop back over and participate in college family events. Every detail is well thought out…dog treats, water and food bowls, books about the area, and a kitchen any home chef would enjoy cooking in. The cabin was extremely clean, inviting and comfortable. The deck was usable at all hours and our favorite spot. I can’t recommend this rental enough!

Wow!! Yona Ridge Cabin did NOT disappoint! This is the most amazing rental we have ever stayed in. It was amazingly clean, very comfortable and was fully-equipped with everything you could possibly need. It was also dog friendly which was a must for us. Our Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Max, is our "child" and we LOVED that we were able to take him with us. The location of the cabin and the peaceful, beautiful setting were perfect. It was very quiet and secluded but yet only a 10-15 minute drive to amazing hikes. We did Linville Falls, Sitting Bear and also found some "off the beaten path" trails on our own while just exploring. We also enjoyed walking the peaceful gravel roads of the neighborhood at least twice a day. We spent a lot of time at the cabin, enjoying the many decks and stunning views. It was just what we needed to relax and recharge. The kitchen was also amazing and so enjoyable to cook in. It was fully-equipped with new appliances and stocked with anything and everything we needed. We could not have asked for a better host! Krista was absolutely amazing. She checked on us throughout our stay and offered so many great recommendations of things to do and see! She also provided so many personal touches throughout the cabin that made our stay spectacular!! There was no detail that she did not think of! We HIGHLY recommend Yona Ridge Cabin for your NC mountain getaway! We are already planning our next trip!!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Our family LOVES the NC mountains, and we are excited to share this very special place with you! We hope you enjoy the MANY different hikes within minutes from the cabin, and the solitude that offers quiet reflection. We are dog friendly because we couldn't imagine hiking without our two fluffy Golden Retrievers

Why they chose this property

We choose Gingercake Acres because of it's location, adjacent to the Linville Gorge Wilderness, the adventures are limitless! Even if a big hike isn't in the plans, walking the neighborhood gravel roads beautifully lined with native plants brings such calm!

What makes this property unique

Our cabin was built with all reclaimed wood and wood harvested from our property. It has very unique interior features AND the two wrap around decks with views of Long Arm Mountain are spectacular!
