Our stay at Wildcat cabin

The cabin is small but had everything we needed! We cooked in the kitchen and used the grill. Very quiet. We were able to easily get to Boone and several hiking trails. Communication and ease of booking were excellent.

Weekend Getaway

My husband and I stayed here this past weekend for a short weekend getaway and it was absolutely amazing. The weather was so foggy and dreary but we didn't even mind because the cabin was so cozy we didn't even want to leave. I will absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a cozy mountain getaway!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

This was a perfect home for a yearly weekend mountain trip. This year was a little different due to damage from the hurricane in some area of western NC but this house was a perfect location. Usually we spend time on the parkway but this house was located not so far from Boone, so we were able to spend the day there. The area was very quiet & the porch is fantastic! We didn’t use the grill but we did enjoy making s'mores with the Solo stove.The bed in the main bedroom was superb. Comfortable mattress & nice pillows…always nice to have an awesome place to sleep when you’re away from home. My girls (18 & 17) loved the loft area & they were very comfortable sleeping up there. I would totally recommend staying at the Wildcat Cabin for the weekend or even the week. We were completely satisfied!

Great Vacay!

Property was fully furnished exactly as descibed even down to the large umbrella. Very clean, most comfortable bed and bed linens I have every slept in. We used oven, outdoor grill and fire pit. Loved location. Easy ride to Boone , Blowing Rock and Blue Ridge Parkway. Had great lunch at the Speckled Trout in Blowing Rock on outdoor patio with our dog. Only suggestion I would make is perhaps time for a new oven. Other than that we enjoyed it very much. Celebrated our 35th anniversary. Many memories made!! 👌😊

We loved staying in this cozy cabin for the weekend. It was a great location and easy to pull into the driveway. If you have large dogs, it may be a little tight inside, but it worked well for our two small dogs.

Great place to hide for a day or two and be part of nature. Pond where you can feed the fish while relaxing with the sound of the water running over the mill is a plus. Cabin was just ok, could have used more comfortable working space with more light and proper chairs as the main purpose of my trip was to finish a book - I’d discount that from my review since this was important for me but might not be for most people. Bed linen had not been replaced - the sheets had way too much hair and from different people - Having worked in hospitality I am pretty picky about this type of things - So I reported to the owner and she mentioned that new and additional linen were under the bed, so I think this is positive. Bathroom is ultra tiny (I’m 5’11 and couldn’t fit in the vanity space). Dogs loved the getaway and possibility to wander around the property and explore all the smells. Overall it was a good experience for a solo traveler like me. Would not bring my family though.

Overall very clean cabin but smaller than expected. We were unable to get the cabin as cool as desired as the mini split would only provide heat but the A/C in the bedroom provided enough for sleeping. The shower is very small and it would be difficult for larger people to use as would the sink area. Very tastefully decorated.

Adorable cabin, off the beaten path, but close to Boone, Blowing Rock (my favorite), and Grandfather Mt. The cabin has everything you need for a quick getaway. You can feed the fish in the pond, with food that is provided...very relaxing!

About the host

Hi I'm Alyssa! My husband, Chase, and I are so happy to share our mountain getaway with you. I grew up in the mountains of Hendersonville, NC and Chase grew up on the coast in Morehead City, NC. We love both locations dearly, but there's something special about relaxing on the porch in the mountain air, taking a hike to a rewarding view, and seeing all the creatures pass through the property. We hope you enjoy Wildcat Cabin as much as we do. Enjoy your stay!

What makes this property unique

You will love Wildcat Cabin! Especially the outdoors: • Covered porch for morning coffee and afternoon reading • Take in the fresh mountain air from the porch swing or two rocking chairs. • Enjoy an evening fire around the Solo Stove Bonfire. • Propane grill available for all of your grilling needs. • Take a walk down to your own private pond. Bring a fishing pole or borrow one of ours for some catch and release fun!
