About this property
Beautiful Log Cabin, Mountain Top Retreat Among the Trees
This beautifully decorated log cabin is located on a rural mountaintop and surrounded by forests, laurel thickets, and many varieties of wildlife. Enjoy many outdoors activities such as hiking the Appalachian Trail, exploring the wild horse colonies of Grayson Highlands State Park (called the 'sweetest miles of the AT [Appalachian Trail]' by Backpacker Magazine, August 2007), or taking a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are stocked trout streams and many historical places in the surrounding areas to explore.
The kitchen is well equipped and all linens are provided. Relax on the big wrap around porches as dusk falls or as the sun rises over the crest and enjoy nature at its finest as the turkeys fly over the ridge, or the deer emerge from their resting places in the laurels. Don't forget your camera!
All automobile drivers are encouraged to use a low gear and a steady moderate pace to approach the cabin. The driveway for this cabin is gravel, fairly straight, and has about a 30 degree incline. There is also a water break two thirds of the way up the hill. We encourage motorcycle riders to seriously consider this before booking this cabin.

My sister and I live in two distant cities in North Carolina. We have always been great friends growing up, but owning this house together has made us even closer.
We hope this house will bring your and your family closer together too.
