Blue Ridge Mountain 'Solitude' on The Little River
This Appalacian Log Cabin 'Solitude' is an especially cool place to just 'BE'! It's Rustic, Charming, Romantic and quite Rejuvenating while located on The Little River & creekside waters. Soothing sounds of nature are all surrounding while you breathe calming Fresh Air. Beautiful logs & chinking INTERIOR is so much more welcoming & special compared to other rentals. The Rock Patio with fireplace is a grounding place to gather alone with a book or connect with each other. The (2) white rockers & table on the front porch are great for your breakfast with your morning coffee or 5 o-clock cocktail viewing a focal point of the babbling creek and rhododendrons.
Spend a few days in this unique spirit lifting space to take the weight of the world off your shoulders.
FROM INDOORS - The living room has The Little River right out the windows and is such a delight. Watch your loved ones playing in the river without stepping foot outside. Watch a Roku movie or listen to BLUEGRASS or the BLUES for something different. Read, write or journal a few pages. Draw or Paint. Rig up your fishing pole at a leisurely pace.
PROVIDED - Gather together for meal prep time in the charming open kitchen. Cabin Solitude provides all soaps, paper products, salt & pepper, K-Cup coffee, Mr Coffee filters, (but bring your own ground coffee for the Mr Coffee) or attempt to make the most tasteful coffee the old fashioned way in the stove tope TIN PERCOLATOR. Grill perfect steaks on the outdoor grill located on the rock porch. (sorry, No garbage disposal or dishwasher, thus no irritating sounds competing with 'Solitude'.) Linens & towels, Wi-Fi, Smart TV and roasting sticks for the fireplace.
SLEEP - Sleep deeply in the comfortable QUEEN Bed or up the timbered staircase to find the loft area with (2) lovely TWIN beds.
BATHROOMS - Choose to soak your troubles away in the antique claw tub (soaking salts are provided) or clean up in the upstairs shower. BE AMUSED while you wash your hands and brush your teeth in these most unique sinks!
OUTDOORS ON THE PROPERTY - Spend a special day exploring The Little River (the largest tributary to the NEW RIVER). You can jump and play in it. You can paint it, write it, photograph it or simply cast for Brown, Brook & Rainbow Trout or Black Bass. There are Sculpin and also the Kanawha and Sharpnose Darters! You'll be amazed at Mother Nature's Appalachian habitats, animals and a huge variety of plant life by taking a WALK IN the river or up the hillside road. You may catch a view of white tailed deer, turkey, blue river heron, red tailed hawks, red squirrel, coyote, the downstream beaver, fox and even a local cow.
Bring your old shoes to do the childhood adventure of "River & Creek Walk'. Flip flat rocks and be pleasantly surprised at salamanders or crawfish! Be so still to watch white tail deer drinking from the delicate flowing waters.
Kick back later in the Soaring Rock Fireplace porch for your evening fire. Make S'mores or simply play cards then cuddle up together while watching the flickering flames.
This is a "best & easy GETAWAY" for people from Charlotte and Greensboro to quickly drive the scenic 1 & 1/2 hours.
It is 45 minutes WEST driving US - 21 from I-77. 7 miles west of the Blue Ridge Parkway (MP 229) & 7 miles east of Sparta.

About the host

I purchased Cabin Solitude in 2003 as a weekend retreat to "get away from it all". Myself and my daughters have some of our best memories joined around the fire place and playing in the river. We still love to spend time here and hope you enjoy the sights and sounds of 'Solitude', too!!
