About this property

Private Spring Getaway! Pet Friendly!

You will love staying at this quaint cabin where you have plenty of peace and privacy. There is a back porch with outside dining and plenty of seating as well as a swing. You will love relaxing with your morning coffee out here while enjoying Mother Nature. The living area is open to the kitchen and dining area with a love seat and a full couch that converts to a queen size bed and an electric fireplace console that hosts a 55" smart TV. The dining table has a leaf that extends to accommodate up to 8 people. The main bedroom is located upstairs and has a king size bed, full bathroom, and walk in closet. The second bedroom has a queen size bed. The third bedroom has a bunk bed twin over full. All bedrooms have smart TVs and new Casper mattresses with high quality bedding and pillows. The kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and microwave. Smaller appliances include a Keurig, drip coffee maker, toaster, and blender. There is high speed internet. There are two sets of corn hole boards, one for adults and one for kids. There are quite a few board games to choose from inside the cabinet that the guest book sits atop. We do suggest picking up groceries on the way in. There are plenty of things to do not too far from the cabin. The Watauga River public access for fishing or exploring is only minutes away. Boone is about a 20 minute drive and has plenty of restaurants and cute shops. Things to do are endless. Appalachian Ski Mountain is about a 35 minute drive. We are pet friendly. Up to 2 dogs 50 pounds and under. Please mention this in the booking. There is a $50 pet fee. Cell service is limited, please make your important phone calls prior to losing service. Driveway can be challenging, but is definitely manageable for cars and trucks alike…**we have had recent guests that experienced difficulties** There are security cameras pointing towards both sides of the house from the deck, the front parking area, and one inside pointing towards the front door (the microphone aspect is turned off for your privacy) Call or message host with any questions or concerns.

Peaceful stay

Had a great stay at this very adorable cabin! It’s clean and so well decorated! Had such a quiet and peaceful stay! Only problem we had was the driveway. They had rock recently put down and my car couldn’t get up the driveway. Other than that it was an awesome cabin and we will definitely stay again!

Beautiful location

This cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. A perfect place to get away from away from city noise and enjoy mother nature. It was clean and quiet. The only issue i had was the gravel road that led up to the cabin, my car was unable to make it up. Definitely recommend going with a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Other than that this cabin was amazing!

Lovely quick trip

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. It was very clean and well appointed. My daughter appreciated all the toys in the kids room and we all enjoyed relaxing on the porch. The driveway was a bit daunting but we got up and down it with no issues in our SUV- my daughter thought it was a very fun “ride”

Could not drive up the driveway

We were unable to drive up the driveway to access the cabin. It is very long and very steep and has slate that is improperly packed. I have videos of my tires spinning out. I was traveling with my handicapped mother so even walking up the driveway was not an option... Although it would have been long and difficult to get up the driveway by carrying our stuff anyway. I immediately messaged the host and still haven't anstill haven't heard back. It's been a nightmare.ovelater.
