Nice breath of fresh air

We loved it! It was a nice breath of fresh air. The cabin was so cute! The kids loved the loft. We all enjoyed the front porch. It was a beautiful view! We saw a ton of deer, closer than we ever had before. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Heavenly Stars and Earthy Dust

The log cabin has been here a long time judging by the low property number. A Rhododendron hedge borders the front porch with a lovely view of the nearby mountain and clouds. At night, near the end of the driveway, a half dome of dark sky opens to the southwest. The cabin is full of antiques, a bread bowl made of deer antlers, a lamp with an old electric meter as a base, and quite a bit of dust.

Perfect for our family

We loved our stay at Wally and Cathy's cabin in Fleetwood. The cabin was the perfect size for us and our two small children. As soon as we entered, we felt right at home with all of the cozy, warm furnishings and wood interior. We loved the location -- good proximity to Hawksnest for snow tubing and even better driving distance to other towns like Boone and West Jefferson. We could not have asked for anything more and will definitely be back!

Great weekend stay!

We came up for the App State vs JMU game and stayed Friday through Monday. We had no trouble finding the cabin (Google maps took us right to it) and getting in. It was nice having 2 separate bathrooms for us and the kids. The kids loved staying in the loft space. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. While we weren't really in the cabin except to sleep, we would definitely recommend this cabin to others. We had a very enjoyable stay!

Hiking and Cozy long weekend

There was plenty of room for others, but this snug cabin was perfect for one human and two dogs. Friendly neighbors when encountered on walks and a very peaceful area. Host was very helpful and responsive the couple of times when minor guidance's were needed. Looking forward to a return visit.

Beautiful location

The location of the cabin is beautiful. I really wanted to love everything about it. The water well is shared by 3 cabins and we lost water. It was not a huge inconvenience but I could see it being one for others who may stay so I feel obligated to mention it. The owner was very responsive and apologetic and I realize that this is out of his control. It is a rustic cabin and worth the price. Do not expect luxury and you will not be disappointed. Everything was well stocked and available for use.

Peaceful Paradise

Quiet, country setting with beautiful mountain views. Gas log fireplace, rain on a tin roof, comfy bed, and a porch swing with morning coffee. GPS took us directly to the address. If you've never been then I would recommend coming during the daylight hours to navigate the well kept, one lane road. Close to West Jefferson, Boone and Blowing Rock. Always great response from host. Enjoyed our stay tremedously!

Cozy cabin

My dad and I stayed here for a couple of nights and had a great time. The cabin is unique and rustic (how I think a mountain cabin should be), but also clean and well-stocked and well-maintained. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. It’s so quiet and we especially enjoyed sitting on the front porch. Easy drive into Boone and close to plenty of hiking trails. I’d recommend trying to arrive before the sun sets on your first night.

About the host

Hosted by Walter McCarty

Middle age couple that enjoys the outdoors.

We both work and truly enjoy getting away when we can to relax in the mountains.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I enjoy the mountains and visiting the Boone, Blowing Rock and West Jefferson areas. We had rented a cabin in the area and found that this cabin was for sale. It did not take long for us to make a decision, finalize an agreement and purchase the cabin. We have owned this cabin for 15 years.

We look forward each year to having our family gather for the Thanksgiving Day holiday where we cut our own Christmas tree and take it home. It has become a tradition and one we intend to follow for many years to come. It is a wonderful and relaxing area to visit.

What makes this property unique

Very quite and relaxing. Convenient to Boone, Blowing Rock, West Jefferson and all of the attractions that are in the area. We have added a large floor to ceiling stone fireplace to enjoy quiet evenings around the fire.
