★ OTHER THINGS TO NOTE ★

Please note that this log cabin is 170-years-old. It's been well-cared for and offers plenty of cozy charm but does have characteristics of a historic home such as bumpy flooring, uneven stairs, and the occasional draft if it's cold and windy outside. In the winter the house is heated by the gas fireplace and electric space heaters so this may not be the best fit for guests who have balance issues or unsupervised children. In addition, we are located in the woods, the property is treated but there is a good chance you might see a bug or two in the warmer seasons!

Mountain Retreat
Really loved Banner Elk and the surrounding area. The cabin was perfect for us. The firepit area and back porch were our favorite spots to hang with weather in the low 70's everyday. Hiked the Boone Fork Trail (5 miles) with our dog and it was the best hike I have ever taken with rivers, mountains and all types of things to look at. The cabin is really fun as well. Everything works and was clean. We had a great week!

Quaint and cute little cabin!
We had a lovely stay here and enjoyed our family trip to the area. The cabin was very cute and cozy. It was a little bit cold in the living room with a draft from the front door that made it hard to keep warm but otherwise everything was perfect!

Anniversary Trip
This trip was for our first year wedding Anniversary. I picked this location because I had stayed at it 3 years prior with some family and loved it. Overall the stay was great, there were a few cleanliness issues but overall it is a beautiful cabin in a beautiful town! Loved the surrounding area and all the restaurants.
