About this property
Joy Ranch Cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains 2600sqft
Want to pause from frenetic pace of daily life, revitalize body and soul, reunite with friends or family, or simply step closer to mother nature to breath and relax, Joy Ranch Mountain Cabin is your perfect getaway. At 2800ft elevation you'd be immersed in cool mountain air, engulfed in tranquility of woods, and absorbed by rolling hills, creeks, and animals along the way. Yet never shunt away from modern life necessities. You’ll find yourself so far away from home yet so comfortably relaxed at the cabin. Now feature Starlink high speed internet.
Welcome to our Joy Ranch Cabin in Blue Ridge Mountains. A spacious 2600 sqft home on eight private acres featuring four bedrooms with six beds (a king, three queens, and two twins), two full baths, a high-ceiling living room, a fully stocked kitchen, a balcony library with books and games, a sun room, a 44ft porch, and a garage for Ping Pong. It is equipped with refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, washer & dryer, HDTV, HS Wi-Fi, and whole house air conditioning. Linens and towers are provided.
Enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon tea on the swing chair from the deck. Get fresh ingredients from local farmers market and cook a gourmet meal at the kitchen for your family with all the spice you can think of. Kick off your shoes, chitchat with friends or enjoy a movie or a board game in the air-conditioned high-ceilinged living room, grab a book from the library and immerse yourself in a story, take a warm shower or soaking in the Jacuzzi bath after a fun day of activities and tuck yourself into a good night sleep in one of the comfy beds, life away from stress doesn’t get much better than that.
Choose to kayak in the New River, bike on 57-mile long the New River trail, fish at the Crooked Creek Wildlife Management, golf at one of country clubs, hike 15 miles of hiking trails in Rocky Knob Recreation Area along the Blue Ridge Parkway, explore state parks such as Grayson Highlands State Park for wild horses, visit the Blue Ridge Music Center, Chateau Morrisette Winery or the Andy Griffith Museum, walk on downtown Mayberry for its antique stores, trading posts, or stop by one of local restaurants, you’ll never find yourself short of activities. The cabin is a convenient location to enjoy your day and plan your activities

About the host
Hosted by Fan Zhang

I'm a Purdue graduate. I love nature and like to hike. I experienced mother nature's impact on my healing, vitality, and creativity. It charges my body, calms my mind, soothes my soul, and inspires my sense of awe.
Why they chose this property
We are family of four living in Cary, NC. Our favorite family activity is hiking. We travel near and far to visit national and state parks and various trails. Two kids have collected many Junior Range badges. As the kids grew older and got busier with schools and activities planning a long trip became less practical. We decided to find a place close enough for a weekend getaway. After a long period of searching, we found Joy Ranch Cabin. It was by no means what it looked like now. We spent the next eight month traveling back and forth as the cabin undertook a complete transformation. Special thanks to Kim and Robert from Due West for all the hard work on the cabin, Brian and Marvin for graveling the driveway, and many others who made our dream come true.
I was on the phone with an operator while driving to pick up kids from swimming practice one evening. While waiting for a transaction we started chatting. I asked her when her shift would be over. She said "Almost, it has been a long day. Would be nice if I were at a place next to woods by myself and not have to think what's next..." Her words resonated with me. It would be nice if we were able to share our cabin with others while we were not occupying it, allowing others to enjoy time spent at the cabin to wind down, get refreshed, recharged, reunited with friends, family, and mother nature, and find their true selves.

What makes this property unique
On a summer afternoon, my girl dressed in a sky blue skirt sitting on the swing at the front porch while I was reading a book to her. A blue-greyish butterfly flew by, perched on a string of the swing, and gently flapping its wings. Cool mountain breeze suddenly whispered its way through trees, caressed my girl's long black tresses, and startled the tiny blue wings. Before I could capture the moment, it was gone. We stained the swing in blue.
