About this property

Cozy Cabin on Blue Ridge Parkway

***Welcome to Celtic Cabin!***

Discover a unique and convenient location adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 288 and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Enjoy easy access to the High Country's most popular attractions, with downtown Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railroad, Appalachian Ski Mountain, and Moses Cone Park/Bass Lake just 4-6 miles away. Downtown Boone, Boone Golf Club, Appalachian State University, and Price Lake are only 6-8 miles from the cabin. Grandfather Mountain and the Scottish Highland Games are also a short 22-mile drive away.

Celtic Cabin is easy to find, located just a half-mile off the Parkway in a well-marked, quiet, private mountain community at the end of a flat, paved cul-de-sac, surrounded by mature rhododendrons and hardwood trees. This one-level cabin features a separate attached 2-car garage, making it perfect for skiers in the winter. The home has no steps, and a ramp with handrails at the front entrance ensures smooth mobility for all guests.

The rustic open interior boasts log walls, hardwood and carpeted floors, and tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings in the living and dining areas. Celtic Cabin includes a fully equipped kitchen and a laundry nook with a washer and dryer. The dining table expands to seat 6-8 guests. The living room's centerpiece is a floor-to-ceiling gas log stone fireplace with an easy on/off switch. The cabin offers cozy, comfortable furnishings and thoughtful decor adorned with fun Celtic and North Carolina Mountain accents.

For entertainment, the living room has a large flat-screen Smart TV for local stations or movies. Each of the three bedrooms also has a TV, allowing guests to choose their own programs. A selection of books, magazines, puzzles, cards, and board games is available for socializing with family and friends during those occasional rainy days.

At an elevation of 3,900 feet, Celtic Cabin truly shines with its outdoor spaces and activities. The front of the cabin features a flagstone patio surrounded by a beautiful terraced garden, complete with a picnic table and charcoal grill for outdoor cooking. The private backyard overlooks mature mountain woods and the Blue Ridge Parkway, offering stunning fall views and a long-range seasonal view of Grandfather Mountain. Guests may even spot an occasional visiting deer or wild turkey.

The backyard is perfect for fun activities, featuring a porch swing, hammock, horseshoe pitch, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs. The expanded back deck includes an umbrella picnic table, rocking chairs, and a 7-person hot tub for relaxation. From the deck, you can hear the distant whistle of the Tweetsie steam train. For bikers and hikers, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail are just a stone's throw away.

We welcome all our guests and encourage you to visit our family-friendly Celtic Cabin to start making lifelong memories!

Beautiful property and very well located to many attractions, activities, and restaurants. Perfectly shaded so even when it was warm out we could still enjoy being outside. When we had an issue with our door code they were quick to handle it. Only thing we saw that people may want to be aware of was lots of spiders/webs and a few hornets nests, but they didn't bother us at all!

Super cute place with a character

We enjoyed our gateway, everything was clean, the property was very nice and everything as described. We enjoyed the hot tub and nice views. We were only disappointed that the TV in the main room was small but overall we highly recommend the place and we will definitely be back. Thanks for hosting us.

Great House

Cute house in a great location. Very clean!!! It had a mountain/Scottish theme, so it was dark, but was cute. Loved that it was one level and easy to access even though it’s in the mountains. Would definitely recommend and rent again.

Wonderful! Mind the bagpipes!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Celtic Cabin. It was a great location right off the Blue Ridge between Boone and Blowing Rock. The amenities were wonderful, including the hidden fire pit. I enjoyed my morning coffee sitting on the front porch and looking over the garden with chipmunks running around. When we return to the mountains next year, we plan to stay here again.

Winter Wonderland!

Such a cozy cabin to spend a snowy weekend in! Fireplace and hot tub kept us toasty warm! The neighborhood was a great place to take a walk in the snow! Roads to the neighborhood were kept plowed throughout the snow storm! Someone came out and plowed the driveway and cleared the front walk way! We did not expect this and it was a pleasant surprise!

The cabin is located in a gorgeous area with beautiful trees and a quiet road. The cabin was a perfect size for our family of four and could have easily housed two more guests. We prepared breakfast daily in the kitchen and one dinner. We utilized the hot tub and the swing set while looking at the fall foliage. The cabin is in need of updating and cleaning in a few spots. All of the pots and pans are non stick but have been severely damaged by utensil scrapes and have pieces of metal detaching from them. Recommend a complete new set. The sheets had some stains and there were spider webs in the master bath. The pillows are clearly old and need a refresh and the mattress is of low quality and stiff.We did have an issue getting check in instructions, which had to be prompted and the key code was incorrect on arriving. Both of these were rectified immediately. All in all, it was a great stay due to the price relative to others in the area and provided us ample space to relax.

Good stay-needs some new furniture

We really did enjoy the home overall and it's location. The kids had a great time and it's close to town. Beautiful deck area around the house and a back yard to play in. I do have to say it is really overdue for new dining room chairs. Half of them are broken and the seats all all worn out. The beds are all old and need replaced as well. Not comfortable and can hear springs popping. Those are our only complaints that are easily fixable. Be careful in winter without 4 wheel drive or chains for snow/ice. One area going up mountain we had trouble with and we couldn't pull into garage area with the ice and snow on the steep driveway. Had to park on the road and unload everything on icy slope made it a little difficult to get everything inside. We still enjoyed our winter vacation at the Celtic and memories with the family were made 💞

Great little stay

We had a great time in this little cabin. Even though the square footage says, 1800, or something similar, the owners did a great job of making the homes' layout feel bigger. Bedrooms were good size with plenty of storage, however ceiling fans in the bedrooms would help air-flow, as it got hot and sleeping became slightly tricky for our family. My son's utilized a box fan they found in their closet. We were a perfect distance to downtown Blowing Rock, Appalachian ski resort and downtown Boone. We visited each location multiple times during our stay. Kitchen was well equipped, however a kitchen-sized garbage can is a must. Our little family of 4 filled their little trash can 2x a day, and we were constantly taking trips to the garage to empty said trash can. Fireplace and hot tub were wonderful and well maintained. Our only issue was check-in, as the lock itself was broken. Luckily the cabin rental company was very quick to respond to my call and was able to get us a new code and we were able to enter the property. However, we could not lock the door, which made me a little uneasy at night. But the following day, maintenance came out and replaced the lock. Getting into the garage with the key was also tricky, as the key stuck in the lock itself many times. They probably need to change that lock as well, as it is worn. Wouldn't be a big deal, but renters need to access the garage to take care of trash. Otherwise, a great stay, would definitely recommend.

Celtic Cabin - Super cute place

Absolutely loved the character of property. Cabin had not been cleaned when we checked in, but the management staff replied immediately & got it taken care of in short order. Unfortunately the hot tub was not working, wished we'd have known that when we did the last second booking. Driveway is pretty steep, don't plan on getting a normal car into the driveway, but you can park on street in cul-de-sac. Horeshoe pit was great. Mattress' could be updated.

Celtic Shtick Doesn't tell the Whole Story

This place has numerous problems: (1) the pictures in the listing suggest a much larger place - my fault for not looking at the square footage, but in spite of the sleeping options, this place is too small for 7-8 people; (2) the stove top was filthy; (3) the oven was also in bad need of cleaning, as it smoked when we first turned it on; (4) there were no sheets for the sofa bed and there were crumbs on the mattress; (5) there were not enough towels for 7 people; (6) at least one of the sink faucets constantly drips; (7) the washing machine doesn't spin properly, leaving clothes sopping wet; (8) the dryer took forever to dry clothes even though we rung out the clothes by hand; (9) the sheets need replacement as they kept falling off the beds while people were sleeping on them; (10) the listing should have stated that we needed to bring our own paper products - no replacement roll of toilet paper was unbelievable! The place needs a much better cleaning crew and a repairman!! I will definitely not go back!
