About this property

The last slice of Ginger Cake Acres


Our mountain log cabin hideaway is nestled among a giant
rhododendron thicket in beautiful Ginger cake Acres. This
luxurious A-frame log cabin provides a private rustic experience
with elegant charm. Ours was the last cabin built by the original
developer, thus the name "The Last Slice". This casual friendly
mountain community is in the midst of all the attractions of the
Blue Ridge Parkway and North Carolina Mountains.
The 4000 foot altitude ensures spectacular fall colors, beautiful
spring wild flowers, cool breezes throughout the summer and a cozy
fireplace to warm you through the winter.
If you want to feel totally private and isolated just stay on the
large deck surrounded by the woods or in the great room with it's
lofted ceiling and wall of glass.
The cabin offers two bedrooms with full beds, a full bath, laundry,
and large great room with fireplace and fully equipped kitchen all
on the main floor. We also offer a landline with free long distance
as well as DirectTV on our 54in. Samsung Smart TV in the great room.
Upstairs there is a large loft bedroom with 2 queen beds as well as a tv with DirectTV.
We are just minutes from Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls,
Linville Gorge and Linville Caverns.
Nearby mountain communities such as Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Beech
Mountain, Valle Crusis and Boone offer a wide variety of food, shopping
and numerous festivals. Five Golf Courses and Four Ski Resorts within
twenty minutes offer downhill skiing, tubing, sledding, snowboarding
and ice skating.Gingercake offers miles of pathways and winding
roads for walking and biking.
Pets considered, no smoking inside! We invite you to enjoy the "Last Slice" of Gingercake Acres!

A great place to stay on the east side of the Linville Gorge that’s located in the best hiking in the state. We loved the cabin and it was just what we needed for our hiking and we plan on coming back.

Beautiful, and convenient location. This cabin feels cozy like home, with everything you may need. Was a quick few minutes by car to Jonas Ridge Snow Tubing Park, and a few minutes further to the Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster at Banner Elk.

Great cozy mountain cabin! It was below freezing for most of the weekend, but the baseboard heaters kept the house at a consistent and comfortable temperature! There are lots of games and DVDs there if you need them. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely book this one again!

The host was in communication with me the whole time. They had a lot of snow the weekend we went and offered to let us change our dates but we decided to go anyways. We got snowed in Saturday and didn’t make our snow tubing appointment cause we couldn’t get our car out of the driveway but the cabin was perfect for our group. Plenty of room and board and card games to play. We will definitely be back again a d are already planning our trip next year!

Quiet getaway for the family

This was our third trip to this cabin, and it did not disappoint. We like the wide open spaces for our family to gather together inside or outside. The hosts are always quick to respond if we need to reach them for any reason. We usually go in the early spring, but I am glad we waited a little longer this year to allow the flowers and trees to bloom, because it is a beautiful area.
