Rustic Cabin near Hiking and Waterfalls

Welcome to Trailhead Cabin!

Trailhead Cabin is a comfortable log home between Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk. It is close to Hound Ears Club, Chetola Resort, Foscoe, Seven Devils, and Valle Crucis. As the name implies, the cabin is near the trailhead leading to Hebron Rock Colony, a popular hiking destination with waterfalls, swimming holes., freshwater fishing, and fly fishing. One of the most popular summer activities around Boone is to take advantage of area hiking trails and swimming holes. There are over 70 freshwater swimming holes around North Carolina, and we are fortunate that many are right here in the High Country. Locals, Appalachian State University Students, and tourists love to find these natural water parks, but locating one can be tricky. If you stay at the Trailhead Cabin, you won't even have to get in the car to access one of the most desired hiking trails in the High Country.

The main floor and loft have the rustic ambiance of an authentic log home. The main floor has a queen bedroom. Upstairs is a large master bedroom with a king bed and a sitting area in the loft. The lower level has two twin beds and a playroom with a game table.

Allows pets with an additional fee.

*The privacy you can enjoy at Trailhead Cabin is accessed via a two (2) mile, state-maintained gravel road. After heavy rains, the driveway can develop ruts, requiring careful, skillful driving if your vehicle has low clearance. We recommend vehicles with higher clearance. During winter weather, snow plowing is as best as can be expected on a steep gravel driveway with ruts. A 4-wheel drive is required to negotiate the driveway during winter weather.

MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF AGE TO BOOK
Cancellation Policy:
Bookings canceled at least 60 days before the start of the stay will receive 100% refund.
Bookings canceled at least 30 days before the start of the stay will receive 50% refund.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Limited housekeeping is available.

Enjoyed our stay …

We enjoyed our stay but feel there is room for improvement with the cabin. The master bedroom TV didn’t work (and the instructions downstairs didn’t help because they didn’t match the 1 remote given) … I recommend adding a hot tub on the small back deck. It would of enhanced the stay. Otherwise it was nice.

Great get away cabin!

Our family of four including two children ages 9 and 12 enjoyed the two nights we stayed in this beautiful cabin. We especially loved the location and it's proximity to trails which we hike together as a family. The cabin is in a great location, is picturesque, and was clean and ready upon our arrival. The keyless entry with the code was very convenient as well!

Great Getaway!

Great spot close to trails, the parkway, and Blowing Rock. Suggestions to management- you should post pics and let it be known that the fireplace has gas logs and there is a grill on the deck. Also, the pots and pans are pretty worn down. Lastly, there are plenty of games, though most of the pieces are mixed together or missing. Nothing that put a hamper on our stay, just ideas on where to improve. We will likely be back soon!

Trailhead cabin is fun

The trailhead cabin is just that, up a mountain near a fantastic trail. The location is close to Boone, grandfather, linville, blowing rock and sugar mountain It was peaceful and enjoyable for my family It’s rustic, but has all the amenities you will need to get away. The front porch is peaceful, when the leaves fall I would imagine you would have a nice view. With leaves on the trees you can’t see much. I would not recommend this place unless you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle in the winter as the road up to it is steep and gravel. The WiFi is ok, had trouble streaming anything, which is necessary if you are a sports fan as the cable package has no sports or local channels. If you are going during football season and you care about the games this isn’t the place for you All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Nice weekend retreat in the mountains

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights with our dogs and had a great time. For the four of us the cabin was very spacious. There are spider webs here and there and a lot of dead bugs...however I believe this is part of the experience that you get when you are out in the woods. Loved that there is a hiking trail right next to the house. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Quick to Boone or Blowing Rock, house could use a little updating, but other than that, it is a peaceful place to get away. Great drive in to secluded area & can get on Blue Ridge Parkway inside of 5 minutes.

Rustic cabin in a great location

This cabin is in a great location and our family had an awesome time enjoying the natural beauty all around. Many great hiking trails near by and so close to attractions like Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain. On our first day there we saw a bear on the gravel road up to the cabin and deer right in our front yard! We were a little concerned about no AC in July, but it was not needed... gorgeous mountain weather kept us cool, even chilly at night, and the cabin was stocked with plenty of fans! The cabin does need some updating and our only recommendation is that it could be better stocked with things such as toilet paper, towels and newer bed linens. This is a rustic cabin, nothing fancy, but meets all the basic needs! We enjoyed our stay and had a great time!

Needs attention

When we first went in it looked clean but on closer examination there was a lot of dust on shelves ceiling fans chair rails etc. My wife has aletgoes and could tell soon after walking in that this was goong to be a problem. After one night we asked the properyy manager for any available substitutes. To their credit they found another property for us to move for the rest of our stay. Another item to note is this is about a mile down a gravel road. The road is on good condition just something to know.
