Whether you are looking to have a romantic getaway for two or to making new family memories, The Mountain Retreat is the perfect place for you! This gem of a cabin is perched on the hillside with everything you need for the ultimate retreat. The Mountain Retreat is a wonderfully cozy cabin situated on several acres deep in the mountains of North Carolina, in close proximity to Boone, Blowing Rock, West Jefferson and Wilkesboro. The Mountain Retreat is the PERFECT spot for a romantic retreat for 2 or a small family. There is 1 bedroom with a queen bed and a queen size sofa bed in the living room. There is room for an inflatable queen size air mattress if needed (it would be very cozy). Just a stone's throw from the cabin there is the pleasant sound of a mountain stream. The terrain surrounding the cabin is full of plants, flowers, shrubs and fruit trees. We even have a gazebo with swing and a doll house for you to enjoy! The Mountain Retreat is just a few miles away from the Blue Ridge Parkway and located in a charming cabin community called Creekside Estates. There are only a handful of cabins in the neighborhood, so you can rest assured to experience a most special stay. The Mountain Retreat is located 15 minutes from Boone and 20 minutes to West Jefferson and 30 minutes to Blowing Rock. The Blue Ridge Parkway is only 4 miles from the cabin.

About Richard Gruica
I am always looking for a great meal, great drink and great company and will do my best to make that happen. I used to work in the food industry as a Chef and Culinologist (I helped companies create the flavor portion to their products) and used to travel extensively for work. Since all things culinary have been a huge part of my life, I started an online based dining and socializing group called Good Eats and Meets that is now in 6 cities in the US and is the largest group of its kind in the US. I have a 15 year old daughter and a 24 year old son. My parents are Croatian and am also fluent in Spanish and Croatian. I spend my time split between the US and Europe as I recently started a new company called Captivating Croatia, where we take guests on an intimate food and wine based tours of Croatia.

Great cozy cabin!!
We had such a great experience! Thanks again!
Perfect getaway!
My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and we chose this cabin out of a few potential cabins. Definitely glad we chose this one. It was perfect. The location was great and secluded. The cabin itself was wonderful. Felt like a little home away from home. We loved the gazebo. Super romantic! We will definitely be back! Richard was also very helpful and answered all questions immediately.
Perfect!!!
Beautiful setting. Very quiet and secluded. The cabin is quaint and the perfect size for a romantic getaway.
Lovely cabin
We only stayed one night but found the cabin to be well equipped and comfortable. Provided a nice overnight for our trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway from Shenandoah. Easy access to Blue Ridge Parkway.
Nice and Secluded cabin
The cabin was what we wanted, up on the mountain and away from everything.
The awning on the porch was a nice touch when the rain set in.
If you a quiet getaway, this is a great place to be.
It was simple, cozy and disconnected.
Wonderful stay we enjoyed everything and had a great time. We would definitely stay again.
The cabin was lovely, quiet and so peaceful. The grounds around the cabin were beautiful. The cabin was very comfortable and well kept. Vacation is all about relaxation and we certainly found it at this location. A most enjoyable stay, and Richard the owner was very accommodating with any questions. Thanks for a great stay.
Thank you Rita...I totally appreciate the kind words. It was a pleasure having you at the cabin and hope to have you back again in the near future.

Additional information about rental rates
There is a $125 lost key fee and I do not charge a pet fee, but the cabin will have to be left in the same condition you found it. Please remove pet hair and such. If not removed properly, the deposit will go to cover the additional cleaning costs. We expect guests to treat The Mountain Retreat as they would their house and act responsibly in every way. There is a 2 night minimum for weekend stays. Please book 2 nights ONLY. If one night is booked, you will be charged for a 2nd night.
