For everyone who has ever looked for a chink-log cabin in the woods - You have found it! This 5 bedroom, 3 bath cabin sits perfectly on a private 5 acres overlooking Howards Creek. This property is perfect for all age groups.
From the time you turn off Hwy 194 (only 3 miles to ASU) onto the private bridge over Howards Creek, the property becomes a tranquil retreat and yet so close to town.
You will notice the rock wall backdrop as you drive up the driveway (Plenty of room for several vehicles). As you enter the cabin there is a screened porch with a sectional as well as a gas grill that is permanently connected to a gas line (no need to change out tanks) and a gas burning fireplace. It is cozy with a 4-person high-top table and hanging low-lit lighting for any time of the day.
The cabin is well equipped with a large kitchen to include all items needed for family meals as well as a dining room that sits 8 adults comfortably. The kitchen has been updated with new appliances and is fully stocked for your needs. The living room has a gas burning fireplace so no need to cut wood. The staircase, mantel and most furniture have been custom made by a local artist.
On the main level there are 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Bedroom 1 has a king size custom bed with new mattress. There is a full bathroom in this suite and is decorated in a deer theme. Bedroom 2 (also on main level) has a queen custom made cedar bed and is decorated in a bear theme. As you make your way up the staircase, you will find 3 more bedrooms as well as a full bathroom with tile shower. Ready for some fun - Upstairs boasts a game room to include a pool table, ping-pong table, Pac-Man video game and 9 foot shuffle-board game.
The front porch sits facing Howards Creek and you can often see deer or other forest animals roaming the property. You will find custom made cedar rockers on the front porch and the private 7 person hot-tub which is located under a gazabo and offers mood lighting.
Private hiking trails over the 5-acres and along the stocked trout stream offer 2 fire pits (1 at the home and 1 by the stream). Furry Friends are welcome with deposit only. Please email and have all pets accounted for prior to renting.

This cabin was perfect for our family trip to the mountains. We enjoyed fishing and playing in the creek located on the property. The kitchen had all the cookware needed for making family dinners. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the week we spent here and would definitely book again.
We loved our stay, perfect place for us to spend 4 days between college basketball tournaments. Has everything you need, amazing attention to detail that made the stay so enjoyable. Highly recommend.
This cabin was very clean and beautiful. It has a rustic feel and design with all the amenities of a modern cabin. Tammy, the hostess with the mostess, answered all of my annoying questions very quickly and was most helpful. The only thing that I can say that was just a little less than perfect was the frontage road across the creek that had a lot of traffic and was a little loud if you were out front. Inside, we couldn’t hear anything. Beautiful cabin, you won’t be disappointed!!!!
The weather gave us a few hiccups but the host was amazing and we can’t wait to take more friends to experience this property. We had a great time. One of the best vacations so far. Took kids on their first ski trip and created “LOTS” of memories!!! Thanks again
One of the best cabins we have ever rented in Boone.
This cabin provided every need or desire we could imagine. The kitchen was so well supplied and the linens were top quality.
Decorations were perfect and we loved our stay.
Home was perfect and just as listed, host decorated for Christmas which was such a lovely surprise. I had a couple of questions which were answered promptly. Already booked again for next year!
Everybody loved the cabin! The game room was a hit but the coziness of the living room with the fireplace was the favorite of most. Christmas decorations were up and made the family Christmas trip even more special. It is the definitely the cleanest and most well stocked cabin our family has used.
Stayed at this cabin with 5 friends on our annual football reunion weekend. Cabin was a great location, only a couple miles from downtown Boone. Plenty of room and very nicely decorated. Enjoyed the game room.
The attention to detail on this cabin was exceptional. Festive decor. Lovely views and walks. Almost never leave reviews but this one deserved celebration. Well maintained and the owner cares.
The location on VRBO is inaccurate by several miles but we got quick validation
Everything about the home was perfect! Very cozy for our thanksgiving weekend with family. She had the place decorated for Thanksgiving and had everything we needed. Another thing that was so nice is that she had plenty of towels and blankets. So many times you stay at a place and do not have enough of either of those! Tammy was very responsive to all of my questions and very helpful!
This cabin is the most amazing cabin I have ever rented! So well stocked; so beautifully decorated; so roomy and welcoming! Host Tammy is so responsive and friendly! What a wonderful experience all around!!
Really enjoy our stay with our adult children and grandbaby. Very close to lots of great restaurants, brewpubs, attractions. Owner is quick to respond with any inquiries. Would recommend this super comfy gorgeous retreat!
This property had something for everyone in my 5 person family. I loved the giant screen porch and the kids loved all the toys upstairs and the hot tub. The only downside was it was close enough to the road to hear traffic all the time. However we still enjoyed our time on the property and would recommend it.
My family of 11 thoroughly enjoyed our mountain vacation! The creek was perfect for the little ones, ages 9 to 1, to play in. The cabin had everything we needed to cook big family meals, enjoy time around the fire pit and pool tables and just hang out together. Location was great in that it was so convenient to Boone. The road noise did make it slightly less serene on the porch but was wasn’t too bad. Overall great place to stay!
Near all boone, blowing rock and banner elk have to offer. Well designed for family groups. Window ac only which leads to very high humidity. Grill works well on porch and two fire pits.
This place was absolutely gorgeous! The setting the home. Had everything we needed and more. We were in town for my son’s wedding and everyone that came raved! I enjoyed my coffee on the porch overlooking the water. I definitely recommend this to any large group and would definitely stay there again!
