Lake Retreat with Wooded Privacy | Allendale Log Cabin | Dogs Welcome!

Dreaming of a lakeside retreat in the mountains? Allendale Log Cabin has just what you're looking for. Enjoy the peace and privacy of a lovely lakefront setting, all within a short driving distance of the High Country's best attractions. With wonderful community amenities and a beautiful wooded setting, this cabin will make you feel right at home.
--------------------------------------------
Indoor Spaces:
- Sleeping arrangements: Perfect for small families, this cabin sleeps five guests. The primary bedroom is on the upper level, with a king bed, its own TV, and a private bathroom. On the main level is a large second bedroom with three twin beds. The upstairs loft features a twin-size futon for extra accommodations.
- Main level: Experience an authentic log cabin, with a soaring A-frame cathedral ceiling and a fully wooden interior. In the great room, you can curl up on the comfortable L-shaped couch in front of the wood-burning stone fireplace. Large windows and glass-paneled doors give you stunning views of this cabin's natural surroundings. An open floor plan connects the living, kitchen, and dining areas, so you can enjoy family time while you relax and cook a meal.
- Upper level: Along with the primary bedroom, the upper level also features a loft that is perfect for quiet reading. We've also equipped the loft with a desk for journaling, or (heaven forbid) if you need a peaceful space to work.
- Allendale Log Cabin comes with WiFi, AC, and satellite TV.
- All Stay Blue Ridge vacation rentals include a complimentary starter pack with soaps, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, a roll of paper towels in the kitchen, dishwasher pods, and trash bags.
--------------------------------------------
Outdoor Spaces:
- Located in a private community, you have direct access to Fleetwood Falls Lake and the South Fork of the New River. Bring your swimsuit and fishing gear, because this lake allows swimming, fishing, and paddling (with no motorboats to spoil the ambiance).
- Gather in the lakeside gazebo to watch wildlife flock to the lake's waters, or find the nearby trailhead that leads to an easy hike up to the falls themselves.
- The cabin's deck has comfortable rocking chairs for enjoying the seasonal delights of indescribably gorgeous fall foliage and the soft fall of snow in the winter. A grill and picnic table await on the deck for when you want to eat your meals outside in the fresh air.
- Get your marshmallows ready for roasting. A gravel path leads you from the cabin to an outdoor fire pit, complete with plenty of Adirondack chairs for your next kick-back.
--------------------------------------------
Local Surroundings:
- Perfectly distanced between downtown West Jefferson and the larger college town of Boone, this rental gives you easy access to all kinds of attractions and unique experiences. West Jefferson is just over 20 minutes away and home to a wide array of shops and galleries, as well as exceptional dining. Some of the closest attractions WJ offers include Mountain Aire Golf Course, a public course with stunning mountain views, and Old Barn Winery and Vineyards. Meanwhile, Boone is less than 30 minutes away and gives you even more options for shopping, dining, and exploration. If you are visiting in the fall, you can even catch an App State football game.
- If you're going to Boone, you may as well take the short journey over to the neighboring village of Blowing Rock as well. This quaint town has everything you could want and more, from fine dining to artisan shops. From both Boone and Blowing Rock, you can find multiple access points to the famous Blue Ridge Parkway, a scenic drive speckled with tons of hiking trails and overlooks. It's beautiful year-round, but especially in the fall when the leaves begin to change. For even more fun in the sun, take a trip out to the New River for canoeing, kayaking, tubing, and fishing. Bring your own boats and tubes, or rent from one of the many local outfitters.
- Looking for some snow? Enjoy snow tubing, snowboarding, skiing, and ice skating at Appalachian Ski Mountain all winter long.
--------------------------------------------
Important Notes:
- Pet Policy: Up to two dogs welcome. Must be leash and crate trained, two years or older, and 45lbs or less. $50 per pet, nonrefundable.
- Access: The Fleetwood Falls community is easily accessible and well-maintained. However, we always recommend AWD/4WD in the winter, as the roads can get icy. Safety first!
