St Johns Ridge - Heart of Valle Crucis - Hot Tub- Firepit - River and Mountain Views

In the heart of historic Valle Crucis, NC, nestled on St. John's Ridge, this secluded log cabin sports a stunning view of the Watauga river meandering through a green valley, bordered by the Blue Ridge Mountains and is just minutes away from the historic Mast General Store, close to Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Grandfather Mountain and three ski areas.

During the cold months, guests can use the indoor fireplace. The home has smart TVs, so guests may sign into their own streaming accounts. In warmer months, guests can build a fire in the fire pit, outdoors under the stars. The hot tub can be used year round and is under its own deck-side gazebo. The decks are furnished with rocking chairs, tables, a porch swing and a hammock. Guests can cook outdoors on the gas grill.

Time for bed? This cabin boasts three bedrooms plus a bonus loft with a set of Twin bunkbeds. The top and lower floors each have a King bedroom, and the main floor has a Queen bedroom.

Local activities include fishing, kayaking, skiing, hiking, horseback riding, white water rafting, festivals, antiquing and Tweetsie Railroad, to name a few. Historic St. John's Church built in 1862 is a short walk from the cabin. The Watauga river runs in front of the property and can be accessed on foot as well. Mast General Store in Valle Crucis, also built in the 1800s, is a few miles away and is a must see for guests.

Great stay at this location

We truly had a good time staying at this location. The forwarning of the steep driveway definitely needs to be emphasized on bc it was super steep but it worked out. But the overall stay was very relaxing and peaceful. The home is so beautiful and is in such a good location. The view was one of my favorite things, especially the wildlife (deer) that just walk around with no concern. I would recommend doing some more lighting or decoration in the downstairs hallway area BC it was konda sketchy at first, but other than that, our stay was perfect! The process was a breeze and so convenient for our travels.

Winter Get Away

The property is tucked away over looking a beautiful valley. Once we arrived we went into the cabin, we did find that it wasn't cleaned upon arrival. We contacted the property management company (after hours). They asked us to go have dinner on them and by the time we got back the place would be cleaned. Unfortunately, (due to weather) when we returned it still wasn't cleaned and the cleaners had just arrived. I wish I got the cleaners names because they were really sweet and tried to get it cleaned as fast as they could, as it was freezing raining outside and we were unable to enter the cabin while it was being cleaned. We weren't able to use the hot tub as it wasn't cleaned also but once we got into the cabin we enjoyed it. The view was AMAZING! Later we were able to discuss our concerns with Blue Ridge Rentals and Amy W. was amazing. She listened to our concerns and made our case for us which she had to present to higher ups, she was able to make things right. We really appreciated having Amy on our side. In all honesty, if we didn't have any issues with the cleaning and we were able to use the hot tub everything would of been prefect. It even snowed while we were there for our prefect winter get away.

Iced over steep driveway nightmare, cabin not really assessable due to conditions

We understand that the whole winter storm scenario was not an optimal situation but some proactive work on the steep long driveway prior to our arrival would have been a lifesaver. The first person of our group who arrived before us had already gotten stuck prior to our arrival, driveway was a sheet of ice under snow) this is a lifted 4x4 2500 diesel on 37” tires. So when we arrive a little later only to suffer the same fate even with recommended tire chains trying to turn around and trying not to slide into mailboxes and cabin accross the street. So we had back track to a store parking lot a couple miles away and regroup had to convince group to push through the misery instead of going back to town and getting a hotel room since we were paying for cabin regardless. So we try to hike up this steep grade of a driveway on a sheet of ice literally falling on our faces trying to drag our luggage up, which was absolutely awful. We reached out the next day via email because we couldnt get anyone on phone on Saturday after we left out. We appreciate y’all plowing the center of driveway but we still had to walk because it was still ice where our tires needed to grip. Walk was a little easier but still awful. View was pretty and cabin was cute but if there is ice and snow I would definitely pass on this one unless you are assured driveway is properly prepped. I guess our sentiment was if you knew in advance you had guest coming something would have been done instead of nothing..

Comfortable cabin that offered space for us to be together as a family, and extra rooms to spread out in as well.
