Bobcat Retreat is a quaint log cabin in the private Buck Mountain gated community (Wilkes County). Ideally located 40 minutes from Boone and Appalachian State University to watch the Mountaineer home games! Also this beautiful property is 40 minutes from the North Wilkesboro Speedway for all you racing fans! Merelefest, about 30 minutes away, is a longstanding mountain local festival and Bobcat Retreat is a great spot to vacation and see live music. The quaint town of West Jefferson is about a 45 minute drive and downtown Wilkesboro is a 35 minute drive from our cabin. Buck Mountain Community offers wonderful amenities to guests, including a community fishing pond stocked with largemouth bass, multiple species of sunfish, and channel catfish (catch and release). There are ample hiking opportunities to beautiful waterfalls and picnic areas, a putting green, and summer weekend concerts at the clubhouse. Guests are welcome to hike the ATV trails. However, remember that guests are not allowed to bring ATVs to the community as that is a member-only benefit.
This charming cabin is graced with a wall of windows on the main level letting natural light permeate the living room and upstairs loft bedroom. Guests will find the stone wood-burning fireplace or outdoor wood-burning fire pit a wonderful place to gather. The wrap-around deck includes covered and uncovered areas to enjoy the wooded and seasonal mountain views and lovely sunsets while relaxing or grilling on the deluxe gas grill.
The fully stocked kitchen has a regular coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and electric oven. The family can gather around the dining table to enjoy their favorite meals.
The comfortable living room has seating in front of the wood burning fireplace (seasonal) and large flat screen Roku TV with streaming apps for you to use your login info. There is also a workstation/scripting desk for your convenience.
A queen bedroom on the main level has in-room access to the deck. The loft bedroom boasts a king bed situated under skylights, with a private loft bathroom and balcony overlooking the view. Downstairs is a spacious room with a twin-over-double bunk bed and a twin trundle underneath. The space includes a twin pull-out sofa, TV, and table with access to the lower patio under the deck, where the hot tub looks out at the sunset.
Bobcat Retreat has central heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. There is FuboTV streaming service available on the TVs for live sports and TV viewing. Additional amenities include WIFI and a washer and dryer. Bobcat Retreat owners generously provide a stock of firewood for guest use, although this is not guaranteed as, at times, the stock may be depleted. If that is the case, there is a firewood stand just down the road where you can purchase firewood. Pets are not allowed.
One camera captures the driveway area, which is a level gravel circular driveway with plenty of space for four cars. NO cameras are pointed inside or near the hot tub. Winter travelers should prepare for snow and ice with AWD/4WD vehicles.

"Workation"
We were very comfortable! The view is amazing and it is very quiet and peaceful. We were here for work, but this cabin made our stay feel more like a vacation. So glad we stayed here! There were 8 of us and we were very comfortable. There are 3 bathrooms and that was amazing! Highly recommend!

Nice Mountain House
It was a quirky ride up, but really enjoyed the house. Everything expected (and more) was supplied. The only thing missing was dishwasher pods. Bedding was super nice and comfortable. Enjoyed the view and hot tub. Barely used the downstairs since we only had 2 couples. Wish we'd had more time there, but we attended MerleFesr every day.

Wedding on the mountain
Booked a long weekend to attend our sons wedding in the neighborhood. Cabin was very nice and was easily accessible for mobility challenged senior (ramp to enter no steps) Was clean with everything you would need for your stay. One bedroom on main floor with loft bedroom accessible by stairs and another bedroom on lower floor also steps to reach. Highly recommend cabin
