Thanks so much for having us in your home! I had such a wonderful time your home is the true meaning of cozy relaxing - to say the least it felt like home, so much so we had to stay one extra day. It rained almost all weekend, however the atmosphere made it very pleasant. I will definitely come back again in a few month as a quick getaway since I'm just in Charlotte. Thanks see you soon. Thank you so much. What a beautiful cabin, we had a wonderful time here on our Honeymoon. Hot tub, dinner at Louisiana Purchase, then relaxing with a beautiful fire and yes - SNOW! What more could you ask for? Pet Friendly!!! Our baby "Reba" loved all of it. This has been one of the most romantic getaways we have ever had. So peaceful. This cozy two bedroom plus loft log cabin is charming and private with all extras including hot tub, wood-burning fireplace and wrap-around porch.
This popular log cabin is an absolute charmer - just what you dream about when you want to experience the mountain life. The hand-hewn authentic logs, the hardwood heart of pine floors, the 30 ft. stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, exposed beams and many other extras are perfect for offering the mountain atmosphere. Each article in this cabin was chosen with care.
All of the furniture is unique and the best quality. The house is furnished with many mountain crafts, antiques, original paintings and eclectic knick knacks. On your visit you will spend a great deal of time just walking around looking at all the details. The two bedrooms each have a comfortable queen size bed and an additional queen bed in the lofted area. The two bathrooms are also charming with log mirrors and look out onto the mountain greenery with one window facing a bed of wild ferns. The living room has leather sofas and hand-made tables, custom drapes, and hardwood floors. The dining room seats six with a deer antler chandelier overhanging the table. And, a newly added air hockey table. The outside of the house is just as charming as the inside with a wrap-around porch with swings, and rockers, stick furniture and best of all the hot tub. The privacy of this location allows you to roam freely around the property and enjoy its beauty. This house is in the heart of historic Valle Crucis and only two miles from the historic Mast General Store. It is also centrally located to all tourist attractions and is within ten minutes of ski slopes, snow tubing, shopping, river access and Appalachian State University.

The log cabin is a cozy little home that was a perfect fit for our family of 6! We super appreciated that dogs were allowed so we could bring our dog! The cabin is in a gorgeous area! Our only complaints are the lack of well working jets in the hot tub (but we still super enjoyed it!) and the very squeaky bed downstairs. Anytime we moved it was so loud. Neither of us slept well all weekend

Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed your stay overall! We are sharing your feedback about the mattress with our team to look into, and we'd love to have you back anytime! - BRMR
Super cozy, pet-friendly log cabin just off highway 105. Short drive to Boone, Grandfather Mountain, Banner Elk, etc. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend. The only negative was the downstairs bed. You can’t move without it squeaking - which is very loud at night. We had to sleep upstairs. Otherwise, a perfect spot if you’re in the Boone area.

We both thought this was exceptional. Having frequently stayed in this area over the years we were both impressed with Hummingbird! Beautiful setting, nicely furnished and a well-stocked kitchen. I have to commend Blue Ridge for their attention to detail and the care and assistance they provided before and during our visit.
