We loved the entire stay! Very clean, well stocked with the needed items! Great response from the host!! King size bed was so comfy! Love love loved it!!
This cabin is located at the very top of the Leatherwood Mountain Community and offers spectacular views. The hosts have tastefully decorated with bear-themed, rustic features; and completely renovated the outdoor wraparound porch to include a large covered porch with hanging swing bed, high end composite furniture and hot tub. We rented this mountain home for 7 days/8 nights to escape the oppressive summer heat of our Summerville, SC home. It was heavenly! The clouds and overcast days created a rainforest-like environment and an incredible landscape with beautiful skies. The home was comfortable, had everything we needed for our stay and was minutes from private hiking trails. We did have to drive 45 minutes to an hour to reach Boone, Blowing Rock and state parks that were open post Hurricane Helene, but it didnât even matter! It was beautiful driving around this part of North Carolina. Situated in the Leatherwood Mountain Resort, this cabin is very private and peaceful, while offering access to the pool and stables down in the valley. It was so amazing watching the horses, deer and other wildlife. I didnât want to leave and hope never to lose this sense of peace I gained while there. If I do, I will be back!
This property is not only well, well taken care of, it is on a piece of this earth where you will literally and physiologically enjoy the âsound of silenceâ. The swing on the back porch is heavenly, especially with a glass of wine at sunset, then after sunset when you watch the fireflies start dancing. The larger swing by the hot tub - nap heaven!! The hot tub - big and comfortable, clean and worked every day, every time. We are from Texas then Florida - so ceiling throughout the cabin were so appreciated. The communication with the property manager as well as owner was, from timeliness to thoroughly addressing questions, âRitz Carletonâ type excellence. If you want to get away, have quality time in a high quality place, enjoy any and all meals with that/those special someone for a while, be in one of the few places on earth where you hear nothing - I mean sheer silence - , and your biggest decision is whether to go to other wonderful parts of NC during the day, or, go between hot tub and huge bed-size swing with great pillows and outstanding view, you must spoil yourself and come to this cabin. Thank you, thank you, Alyson!! What a treat!!
What a âMillionâ dollar view this place has! My wife and I usually do a lot of hiking any cabin we go to but, this place felt magical. One with nature, no big city sound only sounds of nature and the wind⊠You didnât want to get out of the swinging bed and when you did it was a dip in the hot tub and every single spot you sat in you had a different viewpoint! Wow, just WOW! Honestly, just bring all your food to cook or reheat and relax with nothing to bother you and your loved ones. So peaceful and relaxing and HIGHLY recommend this cabin to anyone that needs to rejuvenate their minds from real life.
This place was pretty awesome! The wrap around porch and pavilion were our favorite! My wife and I went up for a couple nights and this place did not disappoint!I didn't know the grill was charcoal, luckily we were able to use the stove. Propane would've been ideal but that's ok.Getting in was pretty straight forward and Alyson gave great directions through her email attachment. She was also very communicative via email messages.The drive up though! Wow, it is some steep climbing of paved hills. I would recommend having some 4x4 or at least 2W front wheel drive. The driveways is steep. It's certainly doable but I'd be nervous if I had a 2 wheel drive vehicle. I put my truck in 4Low and it worked great.All in all, it was a great stay! Thank you!
My wife and I were looking for a nice place to just disconnect from everyday life. This could not have been more perfect. Alyson (owner) really takes great care in providing many of the little things while offering the most spectacular views. A waiting bottle of wine as we entered the cabin was a very classy touch. Alyson happened to be travelling overseas however still responded to any questions we had prior to the trip. While my wife and I have travelled quite a bit this was one of the more perfect trips in a while. The pictures simply cannot capture the beauty. We left the cabin once to eat breakfast at the charming restaurant as you enter the gated community. We will certainly return many times to enjoy the solitude. The swinging daybed was perfect. Alyson, thank you again for a simply perfect getaway!! We look forward to returning.
What a GEM this place is! Tucked away in a gated community only 1hr & 20 minutes from Winston Salem, is the most charming cabin with the most breath-taking view! The covered deck with a bed swing and hot tub is PERFECT for a rainy weekend, where we got to enjoy the incredible outdoor surroundings despite the rain! So peaceful, so private, so perfect!! We cooked every meal and never left this incredible oasis except to hike a trail just a short walk up the hill. Cannot recommend more! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home!!!
We would stay again and again. The daybed and the hot tub are as perfect as they look in the photos. This home is the perfect blend of luxury and rustic.
This property was perfect for us for a getaway weekend. The outdoor space is absolutely stunning. We would spend the entire time there if we can help it. We will be back again for sure. Make sure to gas up before you get there as there are no close by gas stations, but that's a small price to pay for the location, view and serenity of the property.
My husband and I visited for a quick weekend getaway. The cabin was perfect! Everything was spotless, the bed was super comfortable and the kitchen was very well-equipped. The outdoor area was our favorite part with the covered hot tub, swinging day bed, and plenty of outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend!
My girlfriend and I stayed the weekend here. The views were amazing along with the amenities. The living room has since been updated so itâs a little different than the listing but not by much! Everything about the cabin was so cozy and relaxing! Definitely recommend staying here!
Loved everything about our stay and will definitely be back. King bed was very comfortable, kitchen had everything needed. Hot tub was great and the swing bed was comfortable and cozy. Thank you!
Alyson was absolutely amazing and extremely kind. This home had one of the most stunning views at the top of the road, secluded and quiet. I would absolutely love to come back here and stay longer than a weekend.
Make sure you bring coffee, all the food, and necessities you want for cooking if you plan on staying there.
Beautiful Setting to do ABSOLUTELY Nothing - in the best way
My husband and I wanted a place to get away and relax, with no need to be anywhere at any time. This place delivered that, as well as some amazing scenic skies. We arrived at dusk (do try to get there before the sun sets), so we didn't get to check out the view initially, but we awoke the following morning to a partial rainbow over the mountains, followed by the most colorful sunset I've ever seen, and literal twinkling stars at night.
The majority of our time was spent in the spacious hot tub, bed swing, and gliders/rockers. We appreciated the string lights that hung from the deck of the master bedroom which had a huge, comfy bed. Being a light sleeper, I was worried when I saw 4 skylights in the bedroom, but with the tree coverage, it didn't get bright enough to interrupt our sleep.
We chose to prepare all our meals within the house and were able to do so with the provided kitchen essentials. The only constructive thing I have to share is to bring a couple of additional "beach towels" if you intend to utilize the hot tub as often as we did. Two beach towels were provided, and we were able to throw them in the dryer, but it would have been nice to have had a couple of additional towels.
This property had everything we needed from the really comfortable king bed in the master to the great new outdoor pavilion with a really nice hot tub and huge swing. It has an incredible view and is very private. It is a great place to go if you are wanting to relax!
This is the fourth October we have stayed there. This year we were pleasantly surprised to see the completion of a new pavilion facing the susnset that included a nice new hot tub, table and chairs, a couple of comfy rocker/gliders and the best of allâŠ.a swing bed that was absolutely amazing!
