Our family had a great time at Owl’s Roost! While it is a steep drive up- the covered porch with the view was so worth it! We loved the convenience to Valle Crucis and the park! We also loved the downstairs play room playing all the old school nintendo games! Wayne was very prompt to answer any questions we had. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Wayne Patrick

Host profile image
We are living is Greensboro and have been residing here for 43 years. We enjoy sharing our cabin in Valle Crucis and want others to relax and enjoy all the amenities that we provide. We like the close proximity of the house to the three towns (Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk).

Why they chose this property

We built our log cabin after numerous trips to the mountains. The scenery, weather, activities, and restaurants offered the perfect, restful, get-away for us. Our children loved the area and always found plenty of things to do.

What makes this property unique

We looked all over the mountains before deciding on where to purchase a lot. We were always pulled in the direction of Valle Crucis. The vintage setting and the close proximity to nearby towns was a major factor in our location pick.
