Diamondstone Mini-Cabin!
Upgrade a little from tent camping at the new Diamondstone mini-cabin! Hidden away in the mountains of western North Carolina, on pristine Squally Creek is the amazing shelter cabin Diamondstone! Equipped with a Jotul Gas fireplace/stove for wonderful ambiance and modest warmth! The stove will take the chill off in cold weather, but will not fully heat the cabin! Bring warm gear in cold weather!! Caution! Your vehicle should have 5.5 inches of ground clearance to navigate the gravel road to Diamondstone! (Google your car's clearance) This cabin is completely carry in/carry out! Inside it features unique, hand-crafted furnishings hewn from local trees! These furnishings include a real queen size log bed "platform" (bring your air mattress/pad and sleeping bags) to sleep on, There is a counter-height dry work table for your camp stove (NOT GRILLE) and cooler. There is also a tent site by the creek for older children!
Also the cabin has a log-style coffee table with chairs situated in front of the Jotul gas-fired stove. It is lovely to sit by there morning or night. Though it will take off the chill in cold weather, it wont fully heat the cabin! Step out the cabin door onto the covered front porch and take in the view! You can sit at the porch table to enjoy your morning coffee, or dinner if you choose! All the while you can watch and listen to the tumbling Squally Creek as it makes its way down the mountain! Go down the steps and onto the creekside front yard and you will find a picnic table, charcoal grille, and campfire pit! There is a creekside bench right in front of a sweet little swimming hole! Diamondstone is truly a unique, beautiful, deep-nature experience!
The cabin features a kitchenette and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. The cabin also includes a fireplace.

This was my first glamping experience, haven't camped in decades. Brian was the perfect host, the mini-cabin was a great experience. The location is so peaceful, loved that the water provided all the sound needed to enjoy this "off grid" cabin. I'll be back, so much beauty to enjoy, didn't even mention what a great value Diamond stone is!!!

Absolutely beautiful location! After a long day on the motorcycle it felt amazing to take a dip in the picturesque Squally Creek. The cabin was cute and just what we needed. Brian’s directions he sent were spot on. We used GPS to Cedar Cliff Church, then followed his directions to the cabin with no problems. I will be looking forward to staying here again soon.

Cozy, Secluded Primitive Cabin Experience
Had a great weekend at Diamondstone! The cabin is comfortable and cozy. We wanted an alternative to tent camping where we could weather the weekend’s storms - and this was perfect. All the stuff we love about camping but with a sturdy roof and walls when the storms came through. Quiet, secluded and about as remote as a drive-in private cabin rental can get. The cabin itself is very nice with beautiful handmade furnishings. Our queen-size air mattress fit perfectly on the bed platform. The host Brian was great as well with answering questions via the app and letting us know about heightened fire risk one day. Overall a great experience for my wife, me, and our 3 dogs. Looking forward to staying here again.
