Charming Log Cabin with Beautiful Long-Range Views

Description from the owner

Relax in the peaceful mountain surroundings of this 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom log cabin. Wake up to the crisp mountain air at 3400 feet elevation and swing on the porch overlooking beautiful long range mountain views. Take a stroll through the 3.75 wooded acres up to the neighboring pasture to see the cows and horses. Enjoy an evening of grilling out on the back deck or take the scenic country drive down to Banner Elk for a nice evening out.

There are many activities in close proximity to the house. The Watauga River has three nearby access points to go fishing, tubing, or picnicking. Nearby Valle Crucis has a large park with lots of... weekend events, and another river access point. Boone, Banner Elk, Watauga Lake (Tennessee), Beech Mountain Ski Resort, Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, a winery, a blueberry patch, and much more are within a short drive.

The 3 bedrooms all have their own bathrooms - 2 bedrooms on the main floor, one in the basement. Plenty of room for multiple families to spread out. Entertainment options include a foosball table and a ping-pong table in the basement.

Thanks to all our renters from the last year, we were able to contribute over $3,000 to our son's charity, Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy! We appreciate all the wonderful people who came to enjoy our cabin!

*** WINTER RENTALS - 4-WHEEL DRIVE IS REQUIRED DURING THE WINTER - NO EXCEPTIONS!! There is a paved road all the way past the house, however we do not control the road conditions. During periods of snow renters should expect poor road conditions and need to plan accordingly.Read more

  This is a very nice cabin. Walking in, I find it clean and well maintained. The boys (2 teenagers) are pleased to find a foosball table and a ping pong table in the basement.
  
  Kitchen: Adequately stocked with cookware. Gas range works well. There are food items already in the fridge and cupboards. The stuff in the fridge is only in the door, so there is space for our stuff. The stuff in the cabinets doesn't leave enough room. We condense the owner's food into fewer cabinets and then we have room for ours. No problem.
  
  Bathrooms: Clean. There are only showers on the top floor. The basement bathroom (third bedroom down there) has a tub, but it doesn't drain. It's cold down there, so you better be a hearty soul if you shower in the basement bath in the winter. The shower I used had one of those fancy removable shower handle things. I wish it only had a simple shower head as it sticks too far into the small shower stall. Has to pour water straight down. You are getting your hair wet no matter what. It's a minor annoyance.
  
  Living quarters: Hardwood floors, nice couch. Tv is a large CRT. No flat screen. It is in good working order with Dish network. The internet has problems. There is an old NetGear router. I've always seen problems with that brand. My MacBook was too much for it. The red light would keep coming on and I would have to wait for the router fix itself. Occasionally I would have to reboot it.
  
  Accessibility: I like seclusion and the scenery is very beautiful. We arrived during a snow fall and it was dusky. Follow the instructions the owner sends you. Gps will take you on bad roads not knowing any better. One road is washed out and it almost caused a major problem for us. The cabin is at least 40 minutes from any of the fun stuff in the area. I like that. Others in the family would have preferred to be closer to Boone.
  
  Overall, I really like the cabin. The problems I mentioned are minor, but you should know.
