Hidden Gem a Spacious 4-Bedroom Cabin for Groups

Seasonal Mountain views, hot tub, fire pit, front porch

Come enjoy the beauty of the High Country at Hidden Gem Cottage! This charming cabin sits nestled along a serene mountain ridge offering a secluded, rustic retreat for nature enthusiasts and within a short distance from all the high country has to offer. Enjoy seasonal views, sit on the expansive front porch and enjoy the sounds of the nearby babbling brook and the quiet sounds of nature;

Keyless entry code at front door with access information provided 3 days prior to check-in.
The driveway is located on the right just 1 mile down Pilot Ridge Road from 221-N. The driveway is steep. 4WD/AWD is necessary in winter months during icy or snowy conditions. Salt and plowing is provided when needed.



The cabin is located just minutes from 221N and the Blue Ridge Parkway (very near the Viaduct) with Grandfather Mountain just a 15 minute drive. There are abundant trails and waterfalls along scenic 221N for hiking and exploring. With a little further drive enjoy the shops, restaurants and excursions offered in downtown Blowing Rock, Linville or Banner Elk!

Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Linville: ~20-25 minutes
Grandfather Mountain, Blue Ridge Parkway ~10-15 minutes
Linn Cove Viaduct (excellent views!) ~15 minutes
Boone, Appalachian State ~30 minutes
Sugar Mountain skiing ~30 minutes
Grocery Stores in Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and Linville/Newland ~20-25 minutes

Surrounded by rhododendron and forest, the cabin provides a private and secluded retreat. Inside an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and plenty of space (2000 sf) make it a great family or group gathering location. Enjoy the rustic cabin feel, 4 comfortable bedrooms, a well stocked kitchen, table and bar seating for 8, a gas stove for cold winter nights, a separate entertainment area with surround sound, TV and games and internet access. In addition to the porch, enjoy the outdoor firepit, grill and beautiful forest views with seasonal long and short range mountain views. The front porch spans the full width of the cottage so kick back in one of our oversize rocking chairs with a book, enjoy a fire in the fire pit. It will be hard to choose which spot to recline in with a glass of wine after a day of hiking, fishing, shopping or exploring!


GPS takes you to bottom of driveway, it is a sharp turn if driving from Grandfather Mountain and a steep driveway. It is paved with good traction if there is no snow/ice on the ground. Zig zag up the driveway, it is the first cottage on the right. During winter months we require 4WD or AWD to navigate the driveway.

Activities
Skiing, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, zip lines, parkway, vineyards, festivals and more!

The cabin was lovely with lots of room and comfortable beds. Getting up the switchbacks was a bit difficult but thankfully the SUV we were in made it up. No tv available during our stay as it wouldn’t connect to the internet but luckily we all had some sort of e device. Overall lovely place and very clean,

Wonderful stay. Driveway was STEEP and a little treacherous but that was expected in the mountains. Just be aware if booking in winter. Had everything we needed and not a terrible drive into town. Would definitely stay again.

Ski trip with the kids

We booked this cabin for a quick ski getaway. The cabin was conveniently located, and easy drive to Appalachian Ski Mountain, Blueridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, and Blowing Rock downtown area. The cabin itself was perfect. We had everything we needed and more. Fantastic stay!

The house is beautiful. The driveway is a little tricky. We took the grandkids (age 9 & 10) to Tweetsie Railroad. They had a blast. One of the grandkids has Cerebral Palsy. The child is able to walk but gives out faster than other kids. We left Tweetsie and went back to the cabin. We ate and headed out to the hot tub. When we lifted one side of hot tub, we saw an empty tub that was dirty and 1 part that looked like it was missing. Needless to say, we were very disappointed. Especially the child with Cerebral Palsy who just wanted to soak her legs in the hot tub. If we would have known the hot tub wasn’t working, we would have chosen somewhere else. We were not told the hot tub wasn’t working.
