About this property

BEAUTIFUL LOG CABIN NEAR NEW RIVER HIKING STARGAZING WIFI NICE COUPLES RETREAT

Windwalker Cabin is our remote vacation retreat cabin nestled on 20 acres of remote wooded mountainside in the Blue Ridge Mountains, halfway between Boone and West Jefferson. High Speed internet for web surfing and TV streaming. Cabin is located north of Boone near the Historic town of Todd. Check out Toddnc.org for local happenings. We’re only a little over 3 miles from the awesome New River. Cabin located on old gravel road, so please drive slowly. Native trout live in stream that runs near property and Rainbow, Brown and Brook trout are stocked just below the property in the hatchery supported area of Three Top Creek. There are several roadside access locations downstream from property for public fishing. Wildlife is bountiful all around the property. Awesome bird watching too. Beautifully furnished and decorated cabin, with firepit just off porch. Full size refrigerator and stove, with all the utensils you will need. Coffee pot, blender, microwave as well as pots, pans, bowls etc. Stargazing on clear nights is just awesome! Located just over 3 miles from Historic Todd. Just 13 miles from shopping, restaurants, movies etc. in Boone or West Jefferson. Only 24 miles from Blowing Rock. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a short 20 minute drive away. There is Tubing, guided fishing tours, canoeing and kayaking located in and around Todd. This 400 square foot true log cabin with all wood interior is the perfect place for a quaint getaway. Cabin is located on a country gravel road so potholes are normal and speed limit is 10 mph. The driveway for owners house runs past the cabin, so an occasional car will pass by. This is a farm and occasionally a tractor, ATV or other equipment is in use. We also use building near cabin but try hard not to disturb our guests. Sorry no smoking inside. Thanks for visiting our retreat.

An excellent base for a fishing trip

Windwalker was a great base for an awesome fishing trip. It was simple but it had everything that we needed to be comfortable when we weren't out in the water. It was very clean and very quiet, and my son and I both really enjoyed the decor. It was practically right next to the areas that we wanted to fish so it was perfect. We even opted to just go back to the cabon during lunch instead of taking lunch with us, since it was so close. I actually can't think of anything that we would have changed!

Perfect getaway

We go to the mountains every year at thanksgiving to get our Christmas tree and found this little cabin and it was perfect. The location was beautiful and quiet and not far from Boone. There were plenty of Christmas tree farms around. The cabin and property was pristine. Will definitely go back!

Awesome experience

It was in our price range and just the perfect size. The owners were so so nice in communicating with us after booking and keeping us informed. If we had questions they were answered in less than 30 minutes. Beautiful location, quite and we will return.

Great cabin stay

Cute tidy and clean. We stayed just 3 nights and left on 4th of July. Due to rain we only enjoyed the firepit one night. Cabin was comfortable and had everything you would need. Due to short stay we didnt do any cooking. Would recommend 4 wheel drive for the hill up to the cabin driveway. Good location for all of our activities

Nice getaway

The cabin is on the smaller side - good for a small family but perfect for the two of us. The campground is close, but you cannot hear anything when inside the cabin, which is really nice. We loved being able to explore in all directions from this location (Boone, Blowing Rock, West Jefferson, Banner Elk). The owners are very quick to respond and they left the lights on for us once they realized we would be arriving in the dark. We would definitely recommend to friends/family!!

Great Get-away!

My husband and I (and our two chihuahuas) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wind Walker Cabin. It was a quiet and peaceful stay and allowed us to "unplug". We used the fire pit every night except one when it rained. Rick and Dana were more than helpful when a minor issue arose, and resolved it as quickly as they could. Would definitely recommend!

New river fishing

I graduated from Appalachian State in the early 1990s. Always come to fish. Met my son who is also at Appalachian State fished with him and one of his friends who has never river fished before. Awesome weekend.

Holiday escape

My husband and I ran away for Thanksgiving. It's a holiday that stresses me out so away we went. We live in Florida, but my heart belongs to the mountains. This adorable cabin is tucked away in the mountains so you feel secluded. It's 400sqft of just right. We loved the decorations and look. Unfortunately most of our plans got rained out, but certainly not anyone's fault and we made do. Would recommend this cute little cabin to anyone.

Beautiful setting!!

We loved our stay at this cabin. The property and cabin are lovely--perfect get-away in the mountains. Everything was as represented in the description -- wonderful furnishings and a well-supplied kitchen.Very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the area around the cabin (close to Boone and The Blowing Rock). We all enjoyed it so much that no one wanted to go home! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us! We will definitely be back . Thank you .

Perfect mountain getaway!

We LOVED staying at Windwalker Cabin! Rick and Dana provided everything we needed and were always quick to respond to any questions before and during our stay. We had restful nights with the cool mountain air and homemade breakfasts to prepare us for adventures in the surrounding areas (tubing on the New in Todd, canoeing in Jefferson, waterfall hikes and fishing along the Blue Ridge Pkwy, exploring Boone and Blowing Rock) and we were always so happy to come home to "our own little log cabin". Great to unplug, enjoy family time playing board games indoors or stargazing around the firepit. Thanks for your hospitality, Dana and Rick! (And for rescuing and washing our beach towel!)

Not exactly as expected

The place was nice and clean. The on line listing was misleading as the pond was not as close to the property as the pictures led you to believe; it was not on the same property as the cabin. The on line listing also said internet was available but it was not available at the cabin on the property, you had to drive to another cabin and sit in the driveway to access internet.
