Spacious Wooden Cabin, WiFi, Hot Tub, Close to Walking Trails, Fireplace
Second Breakfast is a lovely wooden cabin nestled in the heart of Leatherwood Mountains. Located just steps away from enchanting forest trails (more than 75 miles of trails), and with access to plenty of activities within the community—zip lining, horseback riding, biking, tubing in Elk Creek, or fly fishing in the Leatherwood ponds, just to name a few. You’ll be able to choose your own adventure here! At the end of the day, come home to a magnificent view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The hot tub, located on the spacious deck, is a perfect place to unwind.
Inside the cabin, step into your home away from home – with its well-appointed kitchen and with plenty of room for everyone. Curl up in front of the wood burning fireplace in the living room, with plenty of natural light streaming in from the expansive windows. Hang out in the sunroom just off the dining room. Watch your favorite shows on the smart TVs on any of the 3 floors and enjoy fast Wi-Fi anywhere in the house. Play board games and hold foosball and air-hockey tournaments in the basement. Let your kids run around the fenced yard and play backyard games. Lots to do here, both outdoors and indoors!
Second Breakfast is the ideal private retreat for up to 10 guests. Relax, recharge, and create memories with family and friends. To quote J.R.R.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
The cabin was huge & cozy & we loved that it was pet friendly and they had the whole yard fenced in so our dogs could roam around! We arrived at dark and the winding roads & sharp curves were very hard to navigate & the map to our cabin was hard to read! The cabin could have been a little cleaner, the showers had hair and other debris in them & the sheets looked slept in we had to change sheets before we slept that 1st night!

We absolutely loved the Lord of the Rings themed house! Beautiful view off the deck. The air hockey table and foosball table are a bit old but still fun to play on. We used the grill and fireplace without any issue. It was a perfect spot for a relaxing long weekend

Incredible & spacious mountain cabin + hot tub with a view!
Fantastic property and resort. Very friendly staff, clean cabin with lots of space for 10+ people. Incredible views, lots of walking and horse riding trails. Very memorable trip for my family. First family ski trip (1.5 hr from slopes) and horse back riding as well. Several college kids said they were having the time of their lives. Oh, and the basement is also an entertainment room with foosball and air hockey tables. And if you like The Lord of The Rings, you'll be in heaven here!

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us here at Second Breakfast, and we look forward to having you again. We were so glad you go to see our Fall Festivities!
Our stay at Second Breakfast was wonderful. Our children and grandchildren enjoyed the hot tub and we made good use of the fireplace. Certain areas of the cabin had not been cleaned and the dryer was not working properly but when we contacted property management, Carolyn and Sue worked hard to resolve our issues.to make sure we were satisfied. We would definitely stay at this property again because it was very spacious with lots of little extras. The other reason is because Property Management worked hard to make sure our stay was enjoyable.

My teens enjoyed all the games in the basement, my youngest 2 enjoyed exploring the fenced in backyard and my husband and I were in absolute awe of the breathtaking views. Our whole family can't wait to return next year. The cabin was easily accessible in our minivan.

We made it happen this year. 8 of us ages almost 89-13 enjoyed being together from Christmas movies, Carols, crafts, games, game room, fire place, hot tub, hiking, relaxing, sunsets and more. The home has everything you would ever need to make the best family forever memories amazing! Forever grateful for 4 days at Second Breakfast.

What a wonderful time we had at this cabin a top of a mountain. We were unexpectedly surprised by all the little extras. Those extra touches made this one of the best rentals we have ever booked.We found the putting set and had several tournaments. I sent a few postcards of the view - nice touch. And the dryer balls were a luxury that I brought back to my house.If you are going to be in this area of NC, I would stay here.

We enjoyed our stay at the Second breakfast was big, spacious , clean and very lovely house. We had 4 teenagers with us and they enjoyed having their own space in the basement . 2 bedrooms, bathroom and game room with TV. Their own entrance / exit . Loved the swinging chairs . Also loved the Hot Tub on the upper deck. We went horseback riding on guided tour. Also went tubing in a near by creek. Everyone’s favorite Adventure was to go zip lining near Boone and blowing rock. We would definitely recommend it and we’ll go again. We would give it all 5’s. Couldn’t fill out the 5 stars below..., but Definitely all 5’s !!!!

"Look! The mountains are waking up!" - Our 3-year-old
This was an absolute joy of a place. We had 4 adults and 6 kids under the age of 8 together for a family weekend. The kitchen had more supplies than expected (even coffee, which saved us when we forgot!) The rooms were quite comfortable, the views were incredible of the side of the mountain reflecting the sunrise, the drive up the steep paved road was fine in the day—may have been a little dicey at night or in inclement weather. The basement was stocked with games and activities that were PERFECT for kiddos of all ages. Air hockey was a favorite: there were even little stools available for the toddlers to stand on and play, just another amazing example of the attention to detail. There were a few friendly ladybugs and stinkbugs that joined the party, but they were harmless. Overall just a lovely refreshing weekend in the mountains. We hope to return soon!
Tip: Bring a couple humidifiers if you're there in the winter. Like most places, the air gets dry from the heat/fireplace.

This home is both excellently furnished and entertaining! Chock-full of Lord of the Rings memorabilia, all fans will be amazed. And the kitchen is thoroughly stocked for easy in home cooking. The playroom is full of well-organized games like darts, Jenna, bocce ball plus air hockey and Foosball. Cannot wait to return!
This cabin has everything you could ever need with big and little kids! Endless games and space to play outside and inside. Our kids were too young to hike but the views from the cabin were incredible. Will definitely be staying here again soon!

The house was really neat with many Lord of the Rings details and artifacts. We enjoyed the hot tub and many games in the downstairs area. We did not realize how remote the area was, but once we were at the house, it really did not matter. Approximately 45 minutes to Blowing rock on very winding roads. The house was well stocked-lots of kitchen tools/gadgets!
