My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at the "Rustic Cabin" for New Years. Beautifully decorated without overdoing it with "cute" decorations. Two good size rooms on each floor with comfy King size beds. The loft has two twin beds so this place is perfect for a family with kids. Beautiful view of the mountain side from the rocking chairs and a perfectly kept hot tub excellent for relaxing your muscles at the end of the day. The cabin is located about 20-25 minutes from Boone which means you need to plan your trips accordingly. Just stock up on essentials and you will be fine. Blue Ridge Parkway access point in Boone, however confirm it is open as they frequently shut down the roads during the winter. I would recommend this cabin without reservation. The folks at Carolina Mountain Rentals were very professional.
