Rustic Retreat on Private 5 acres with Trout Stream

Location - Our cabin offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Located just 3 miles from downtown Boone, you'll enjoy easy access to local restaurants, shopping, Appalachian State University, breweries, and area attractions while still experiencing peace and beauty of a secluded mountain setting.

Please note that the cabin is not within walking distance of Appalachian State University or downtown Boone. A vehicle is recommended, and most destinations are approximately 3 miles away.

For everyone who has ever looked for a chink-log cabin in the woods - You have found it! This 5 bedroom, 3 bath cabin sits perfectly on a private 5 acres overlooking Howards Creek. This property is perfect for all age groups.

From the time you turn off Hwy 194 (only 3 miles to ASU) onto the private bridge over Howards Creek, the property becomes a tranquil retreat and yet so close to town.

You will notice the rock wall backdrop as you drive up the driveway (Plenty of room for several vehicles). As you enter the cabin there is a screened porch with a sectional as well as a gas grill that is permanently connected to a gas line (no need to change out tanks) and a gas burning fireplace. It is cozy with a 4-person high-top table and hanging low-lit lighting for any time of the day.

The cabin is well equipped with a large kitchen to include all items needed for family meals as well as a dining room that sits 8 adults comfortably. The kitchen has been updated with new appliances and is fully stocked for your needs. The living room has a gas burning fireplace so no need to cut wood. The staircase, mantel and most furniture have been custom made by a local artist.

On the main level there are 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Bedroom 1 has a king size custom bed with new mattress. There is a full bathroom in this suite and is decorated in a deer theme. Bedroom 2 (also on main level) has a queen custom made cedar bed and is decorated in a bear theme.
As you make your way up the staircase, you will find 3 more bedrooms as well as a full bathroom with tile shower. Ready for some fun - Upstairs boasts a game room to include a pool table, ping-pong table, Pac-Man video game and 9 foot shuffle-board game.

The front porch sits facing Howards Creek and you can often see deer or other forest animals roaming the property. You will find custom made cedar rockers on the front porch and the private 7 person hot-tub which is located under a gazabo and offers mood lighting.

Private hiking trails over the 5-acres and along the stocked trout stream offer 2 fire pits (1 at the home and 1 by the stream).
Furry Friends are welcome with deposit only. Please email and have all pets accounted for prior to renting.

Occupancy & Additional Guest Fee -
To keep our nightly rates as affordable as possible for couples and small families, the base rate includes up to 4 guests.

Additional guests are welcome! For groups larger than four, there is a $15 per person, per night fee for each additional guest.

This modest fee helps offset the increased costs associated with hosting larger groups. By pricing this way, we're able to offer a lower base rate for smaller groups while still accommodating larger families and gatherings.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to hosting your stay in our mountain cabin!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Cabin was a perfect home for a cozy mountain getaway. Our family had a wonderful time and enjoyed the game room upstairs. The hot tub was also a great addition! The owner even gave me some tips that allowed us to catch multiple fish and provided memories for years to come. This is definitely a house we would book again. Location was conveniently placed near downtown Boone but far enough out to give the right amount of privacy. Lots of hidden gems in this house and if your on the fence, book it!
