We stayed for 2 weeks at this lovely log cabin in a tranquil spot on a flowing creek. Very clean, everything you would need supplied. Beautiful wood floors, walls, and ceilings.About 30 minutes to the closest grocery in Burnsville (you will learn to love curvy highway 80, but not much traffic). Many nice restaurants in Burnsville if you don’t feel like cooking (The Homeplace has excellent pizza). Convenient to go in all directions. Half hour drive to Mt. Mitchell (be sure it is a clear day) or if you are brave you can hike up from Black Mountain Campground.. Lots of great views on the Blue Ridge Parkway, only 10 minutes away. Bakersville has some nice galleries if you are in to fine art, so does the Penland Craft school. Blowing Rock is a nice village with good restaurants and shops, but it is 1.5 hrs away along the BRP. We hiked many nearby trails (watch for bears) and along the roads. Good tubing and fishing on the river, or just jump in for a soak. If I were to want to own a cabin in this area this one would be perfect. Quick response from the owners, very nice people, great place!
