About this property

A Dream by the Stream-Log Cabin on 10 private acres, pond, stream, dog friendly!

A Dream by the Stream is a very private and rustic 2 Br/2Ba log cabin overlooking a bold stream on 10 beautiful and remote acres with walking trails, a pond with dock, campfire pit, and amazing garden stonescapes. Our 750 sq ft. Cabin offers WiFi, streaming TV, central AC and heat, fully stocked kitchen, coffee provided, towels, comfortable bed and quality linens. We are 1/2 mile from the North Fork of New River. It's a perfect spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy the mountains. Polite dogs welcome (limit 2) It's a perfect spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy the mountains!
Please note: this is in Ashe County and while we are not on top of a mountain, the elevation is 3100 feet so we do get more wintery weather than a place like Asheville (which is only 2000 feet). The main roads are well maintained in the winter, and our gravel road is not very steep but you do need AWD/4WD in the winter in case of unpredictable snowy/icy conditions.
Note: the cabin is 20 minutes from Elk Knob State Park, 35 minutes from downtown Boone, 30 minutes from West Jefferson, 25 minutes from Mountain City, TN.
Also note: cell phone service is spotty in the mountains. Verizon covers most of Ashe County, but not all national carriers do. It's a good idea to set up wifi-enabled calling on your cell phone.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary and it did NOT disappoint. Very secluded cabin by a stream. We spent mornings and evenings outside on the porch enjoying all the sounds of nature and none of the nearby roads. Melinda and Richard were very responsive to a few questions at the beginning of our stay. The cabin was very clean, the kitchen was very well appointed with everything we needed, and the toilet paper and paper towels were top notch!! (It may seem like a little thing but it's not). The host also provided laundry and dish cleaning supplies. I highly recommend this cabin if you are looking for a place outside of the hub bub of the nearby towns. A 30 minute drive in several different directions will get you to Boone or West Jefferson. Enjoy!!

Pet friendly paradise.

Very hard to find a rental that allows pets, especially large breed dogs, and this beautiful cabin on 10 acres was absolutely perfect and pet friendly. The property was just as listed and the owners took extra care to make sure we had everything we could need for our stay including a personalized firewood bin for our winter stay, not to mention being very prompt with any questions or concerns that we had. Can't recommend enough, we had an incredible stay here.

Peaceful seclusion

This cabin is fantastic. We had everything we needed and throughly enjoyed our stay. The nature trails were a plus, along with an authentic babbling brook. The dogs loved to roam the ten acres and we didn’t have to worry about their safety. If you are seeking a beautiful and secluded cabin, this is an excellent choice.

Rough and bumpy windy roads to nature

Beautiful landscaping, peace and quiet exists in this mountain retreat! Lots of birds, hooting owls and a chipmunk to enjoy. A “ fairy trail” to explore, imaginative detail in design.

Cabin in the woods

Great cabin for relaxation! Had all the amenities. Pets loved the trails. We enjoyed hiking, exploring the area as well as watching the horses in the neighborhood. Great time for all who enjoy the outdoors. Cabin was also very clean and well equipped. This will be marked on our return list!

great cabin & private property

We adored this cabin & the surrounding land! We trail ran with the dogs every day & were inspired to decorate our own trails with such cute decor. The pond & streams were also very impressive- makes us want to return in the Summer months! The accommodations were more than ample & allowed us the mountain privacy that we love. The cabin is a distance from other entertainment, but that was the point in renting such a private property!

Our new favorite getaway spot

We couldn't have picked a better location to celebrate our anniversary! This cabin is a little piece of heaven tucked away in acres of woods. The sound of the creek was so peaceful. The cabin was well stocked with everything you need. We were hoping to be snowed in so we could stay longer! We will definitely be back!

My dogs and I enjoyed this peaceful escape

This really is a great place to get away and relax! The property is beautiful and tranquil. My dogs had a great time racing around the pond and exploring the woods and trails with me. The location is about 30 minutes from most towns, but we had fun exploring towns and visiting dog friendly wineries. The WiFi worked great as I did some work while there. The cabin is well equipped and very cozy. We will definitely go back!

Our second stay at this terrific retreat!

Loved the log cabin which was clean, well stocked and perfectly decorated. Appreciated the extra touches such as the flowers, candy and snack basket. Nature abounds in a peaceful, well planned retreat which includes a fairy trail. Love the secluded setting by the pond, babbling creek and wildlife. Truly a Dream by the Stream. We look forward to a return visit.
