About this property

"The Cabin": Scenic Cabin Views • Fire Pit • Fast WiFi

Our welcoming 3-bedroom, 3-bath cabin has everything you need for your North Carolina mountain getaway. Take advantage of the high-speed internet and smart TVs, or simply relax on the deck and soak in the mountain views. At night, unwind under the clear mountain sky — perfect for stargazing.

An ideal base to explore the Blue Ridge Mountains, our cabin is within driving distance of popular shops, hiking trails, and mountain slopes.

About This Space

Everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay is right inside the cabin:

Upstairs Master Suite: King-size bed, private bath, and an extra twin bed — spacious and private.

Main Floor Bedroom: Queen bed with shared bath.

Lower Level Suite: Rustic log furniture with a Twin-XL over Queen configuration, private bath, and a queen-size sofa bed.

The cabin sleeps 10 guests comfortably. The master and lower-level bedrooms both include flat-screen TVs with Sling and access to your own streaming services.

Location & Access

Conveniently located just 1 mile from Highway 421, the cabin sits off a paved road with a gravel driveway.
A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended in the winter months.

Please remember: the cabin is in the mountains surrounded by forest, so you may see wildlife, ladybugs, or harmless stink bugs. We spray regularly, but some are inevitable—it’s part of the mountain experience!

Community Amenities

Located in the private gated community of Buck Mountain, guests can enjoy:

Hiking trails, waterfalls, and a stocked fishing pond

Outdoor activity area that often hosts live concerts.

A putting green for some extra fun.

Very clean!!! The view is outstanding. Easy access, right off of 421 and very convenient to Boone and West Jefferson. The layout of the house is great although I would have preferred a TV in the main living room (the lower level was great though). Otherwise, excellent! Would definitely recommend.

Nice place, but……

It was a nice place but the main listing had hot tub in the title, however the tub had no water and after contacting the host received no response. I waited multiple days afterwards until posting this, but no communication. Would have booked elsewhere if I had known the hot tub was non functional.

Merle Fest at the “Cabin”

It is a great location for folks heading to MF. Quiet ride back to cabin. Worked well for our purpose. Loved the fire pit area and hot tub. Kitchen was a little shy on dishes particularly glasses. We couldn’t find dish cloths and drying towels for kitchen. The biggest problem for us was no TV on main level which is where our group gathered. One of our guests couldn’t navigate steps. There were two TVs but not accessible for all which was a problem for us. I can’t imagine that not being a problem for others.

Great property. Enjoyed their stay. The only problem was when we extended the stay an extra night they couldn't get back in using the original code they had. So they ended up going to find a hotel room late at night. i think it was a miss communication.

Beautiful view and great accomodations

This cabin was a great fit our group. The furnishings were all very comfortable and the cabin is just beautiful. The view is amazing. I made sure I was up early every morning to enjoy the sunrise and the sunset was just as beautiful.

Cozy sweet mountain cabin

We loved our stay! The cabin is on top of the mountain which allows for a nice escape from reality and incredible views. It is laid out nicely for a family. There are three levels for folks to spread out yet we could all be together on the main floor to play games and sit by the fire. The cabin is decorated so neatly and is very welcoming. The owners are VERY attentive and were quick to respond if I needed to ask a question. We hope to return sooner rather than later. :)

Beautiful Mountain Cabin

Lovely home in a gated community. We stayed during Merlefest - about 20 minutes away - well appointed - nice gathering areas, decks - the view in the morning was great w/ sunrise over the mountain the house faces. Very serene location.
