About this property

Cabin in Wonderful Mountaintop Setting

Welcome to Breathe Easy!

Breathe Easy is a chic log cabin offering rustic elegance with a designer flair in a wonderful mountaintop setting. The home has impressive long-range views including a straight-on view of the famous Grandfather Mountain. Unlike many mountain homes, Breathe Easy has a relaxed, flat yard area around the home with easy parking and turnaround. The home is built with reclaimed barn wood and has fine woodwork, leather furniture, interesting antiques, and designer finishes. The outdoor space features a walkout fire pit and a comfortable sitting area in the front yard with a rocking chair front porch.

Breathe Easy is located just minutes from the famous Mast General Store in scenic Valle Crucis and the Valle Crucis Community Riverfront Park. The home is about 10 minutes from Boone. Close by attractions includes Tweetsie Railroad theme park, Grandfather Mountain, Sugar Mountain Ski Area, Appalachian Ski Mountain, Hawks Nest Zip Line and Snow Tubing, High Gravity Adventures Climbing Park, Wahoo's Whitewater Rafting, and much more.

Breathe Easy is accessed by a steep paved driveway. It is plowed in the wintertime. As with all our homes, 4WD and tire chains are necessary for Winter access to this property. In Summer, the home is accessible with 2WD, but guests should be prepared for a steep climb.

Must be at least 25 years of age to book.

This place is great! It’s a beautiful house that sits on top of a mountain! The views are breathtaking and the property has a ton of stuff for the kids to play on. There’s a game room with foosball, air hockey, and ping pong. We were there for a week to ski, and it was super easy to get to sugar. About a 20 minute drive. It’s a perfect place for a family of four. We’ll be back!

Great getaway location

Terrific place for a family getaway. Outdoor play area and basement games were a huge hit with the kids (5 and 8). Peaceful location close to hiking and a few charming towns.It's worth noting that the upstairs bedroom isn't completely closed off from the downstairs living area, so we upgraded the kids to the master bedroom to help bedtime go smoothly.Definitely would stay again!

Perfect Family Getaway

We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Breath Easy! The cabin is truly perfect, we have 3 young boys, and they had the best time, and I am sure it is a vacation they will remember forever. Every detail is thought out, and the owner is so kind. The location of the cabin is also really nice, with only being a short drive to town. We hope to be back one day!
