Rustic Retreat on Private 5 acres with Trout Stream
For everyone who has ever looked for a chink-log cabin in the woods - You have found it! This 5 bedroom, 3 bath cabin sits perfectly on a private 5 acres overlooking Howards Creek. This property is perfect for all age groups.
From the time you turn off Hwy 194 (only 3 miles to ASU) onto the private bridge over Howards Creek, the property becomes a tranquil retreat and yet so close to town.
You will notice the rock wall backdrop as you drive up the driveway (Plenty of room for several vehicles). As you enter the cabin there is a screened porch with a sectional as well as a gas grill that is permanently connected to a gas line (no need to change out tanks) and a gas burning fireplace. It is cozy with a 4-person high-top table and hanging low-lit lighting for any time of the day.
The cabin is well equipped with a large kitchen to include all items needed for family meals as well as a dining room that sits 8 adults comfortably. The kitchen has been updated with new appliances and is fully stocked for your needs. The living room has a gas burning fireplace so no need to cut wood. The staircase, mantel and most furniture have been custom made by a local artist.
On the main level there are 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Bedroom 1 has a king size custom bed with new mattress. There is a full bathroom in this suite and is decorated in a deer theme. Bedroom 2 (also on main level) has a queen custom made cedar bed and is decorated in a bear theme. As you make your way up the staircase, you will find 3 more bedrooms as well as a full bathroom with tile shower. Ready for some fun - Upstairs boasts a game room to include a pool table, ping-pong table, Pac-Man video game and 9 foot shuffle-board game.
The front porch sits facing Howards Creek and you can often see deer or other forest animals roaming the property. You will find custom made cedar rockers on the front porch and the private 7 person hot-tub which is located under a gazabo and offers mood lighting.
Private hiking trails over the 5-acres and along the stocked trout stream offer 2 fire pits (1 at the home and 1 by the stream). Furry Friends are welcome with deposit only. Please email and have all pets accounted for prior to renting.
This cabin's great location gets high marks from our customers. During your stay, you'll be within walking distance of Appalachian State University. Enjoy features like 1 hot tub, laundry facilities and an arcade/games room. Free WiFi and in-room jetted baths are available in the cabin.

Perfect stay just outside of Boone
This cabin was very clean and beautiful. It has a rustic feel and design with all the amenities of a modern cabin. Tammy, the hostess with the mostess, answered all of my annoying questions very quickly and was most helpful. The only thing that I can say that was just a little less than perfect was the frontage road across the creek that had a lot of traffic and was a little loud if you were out front. Inside, we couldn’t hear anything. Beautiful cabin, you won’t be disappointed!!!!

Quiet getaway in Boone!
My family of 5 and our dog enjoyed the expansive property & cozy cabin! Hiking, family game nights & jacuzzi time were exactly what we needed! This cabin & acreage are minutes from everything but far enough away to be peaceful & quiet.

Family Christmas
We had a great time with our children and grandchildren. We love to get together as we live in different states. We liked the house being decorated for Christmas. The kitchen was well stocked for large family meals. The location was great. We found it easy to find and we liked the curtains that kept out the light for sleeping in.

Perfect Family Gathering Cabin
Everybody loved the cabin! The game room was a hit but the coziness of the living room with the fireplace was the favorite of most. Christmas decorations were up and made the family Christmas trip even more special. It is the definitely the cleanest and most well stocked cabin our family has used.

Beautiful Cabin near Boone
The attention to detail on this cabin was exceptional. Festive decor. Lovely views and walks. Almost never leave reviews but this one deserved celebration. Well maintained and the owner cares.
The location on VRBO is inaccurate by several miles but we got quick validation

Absolutely Perfect!
Everything about the home was perfect! Very cozy for our thanksgiving weekend with family. She had the place decorated for Thanksgiving and had everything we needed. Another thing that was so nice is that she had plenty of towels and blankets. So many times you stay at a place and do not have enough of either of those! Tammy was very responsive to all of my questions and very helpful!

Hidden gem
Once we made it to the cabin, we really loved the location and the house. The Hot tub looked dirty so we didn't use it but I'm very cautious. My daughter loved the upstairs entertainment area. Highly recommend this property.
We played pool for hours.. . tubs.

Great house/ fun stay
This property had something for everyone in my 5 person family. I loved the giant screen porch and the kids loved all the toys upstairs and the hot tub. The only downside was it was close enough to the road to hear traffic all the time. However we still enjoyed our time on the property and would recommend it.

Great family mountain vacation!
My family of 11 thoroughly enjoyed our mountain vacation! The creek was perfect for the little ones, ages 9 to 1, to play in. The cabin had everything we needed to cook big family meals, enjoy time around the fire pit and pool tables and just hang out together. Location was great in that it was so convenient to Boone. The road noise did make it slightly less serene on the porch but was wasn’t too bad. Overall great place to stay!
