About this property
Idyllic modern 1800s Log Cabin Hot Tub & Fire Pit Sugar Mountain
A 2 bedroom 2 bath 1,200 sq foot 1800s log cabin located in a private and idyllic setting overlooking the Elk River. Just 2 miles to downtown Banner Elk and 1 mile to Sugar Mountain.
From the beautiful river to the thoughtfully curated design the cabin has something for everyone. This is especially true if you enjoy slowing down and being immersed in nature.
This Old River Cabin has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with rustic but modern comforts to fit your needs.

The space:
Uncommon. Special. Noteworthy. These are words to describe This Old River Cabin. Built in 1884 and thoughtfully renovated in 2020.
Throughout the cabin, you will see local art highlighted such as pottery, paintings, leatherwork, stone, dried florals, and more. We have created not only a space but an experience.
We are close to everything. Minutes to Banner Elk, ski slopes, Grandfather Mountain and so much more.
KITCHEN/LIVING ROOM (Featured on The Spruce)
Smart TV for streaming (Netflix and Disney Plus are included). Puzzles, games, a wide selection of books.
The kitchen features hand-poured concrete countertops, custom kitchen cabinets made from wormy chestnut that was recycled from the cabin's original walls, a large farm sink, a fully stocked coffee bar with a drip coffee pot, and a Chemex.
All the amenities you could need. Crockpot, blender, knives, cutting boards, bar accessories, pyrex, pots and pans, spices, olive oil.
PLEASE NOTE: There is NO garbage disposal or filtered water dispenser on the refrigerator. We do however provide a water filtration pitcher for your use during your stay.
MASTER BEDROOM -
King bed featuring a Tuft and Needle mattress and West Elm bedding with dual zone heated mattress topper. USB outlets and power outlets are located in nightstands. There is no closet. The fireplace in the bedroom is not usable. The sound machine and salt lamp add the perfect soft touches.
SECOND BEDROOM-
Custom-built bunk beds and a queen bed. The queen bed is also a Tuft and Needle mattress. Two leather beanbags and some twinkle lights make this room extra fun. Not a room just for kids but anyone can enjoy it. No closet.
SHARED BATHROOM-
A beautiful space with a shower/bath combo. The sink was carved from a rock pulled from the river on the property and hung with care.
DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM-
Custom stonework shower with a rain shower head and a carved stone sink. Feels like a rustic spa.
OUTDOOR SPACE-
A wrap-around deck with a 6-person table under string lights plus a porch swing and a couple of rocking chairs. Fire pit for s'mores and a large backyard to run around.
Other things to note:
A 4-wheel or all-wheel drive is needed on snowy days for our road/driveway. You will have to cross a small wooden bridge.
