About this property

Secluded Cabin on a mountain stream on 7.5 acres

Get away, unplug, and recharge at this unique stream front home. Nestled in Historic Happy Valley, between Lenoir and Blowing Rock, lies a captivating three-bedroom cottage that provides a warm and welcoming getaway for your upcoming trip. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by locally crafted hardwood furniture and a fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, grill, and all the necessary appliances and utensils to prepare delicious meals. Gather around the dining table and enjoy quality time with your loved ones.

Unwind in the living room, where you can curl up by the propane fueled fireplace and enjoy a movie on the smart TV. The cabin also boasts a washing machine and dryer, ensuring you can keep your clothes fresh during your stay.

Relax while listening to the babbling waters and watching for wildlife. Buffalo Creek winds through the over 7.5 acres of property with views of the stream from every window. Take a stroll along the stream front path, cool off in the creek, enjoy a campfire or wet a line all in the back yard. Want to venture outside the yard, vist nearby attractions, such as the breathtaking Blowing Rock, just a 25-minute drive away, take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, explore local breweries and vineyards or visit the breathtaking Linville Gorge including falls and caverns. For a cultural experience, visit the Western North Carolina Sculpture Museum or Fort Defiance, both just minutes away.

When you're not out exploring, enjoy the property's amenities, including free WiFi, games, a Bluray player, and a video library. Soak up the sun on the porch, gather around the fire pit, or relax with a book while taking in the stunning water views.

This cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience, ensuring you have an unforgettable vacation experience

Great Getaway!

Great area close enough to town and far away enough to feel like you're secluded. Definitely a spot I will look to book again in the future. Great layout not only inside but outside the cabin as well. Overall 5 star time

About the host

Hosted by Debra and Jason Swensson

Host profile image
We love spending as much time at Sweetwater as we can, but until we are ready to make it our full-time home, we love sharing it's beauty and serenity with others.

Why they chose this property

We thought we wanted the typical sweeping mountain view property frequently found in the Blue Ridge, but this piece of paradise is so beautiful, tranquil, and unique that we couldn't pass it up. Besides, who wouldn't want to be in "Happy Valley"?

What makes this property unique

Pictures don't do this property justice. We instantly fell in love with this location when we opened the car door on our first visit. Remote enough to get away from it all yet within a short drive to conveniences and major attractions (closest major grocery store is 16 mins from the front door). Add the sounds and view of Buffalo Creek wrapping around the house, beautiful custom hardwood furnishing, and extremely comfortable mattresses, and you have a little slice of heaven on earth.
