About this property

Long Range Views - 10 minutes to downtown Boone

2025 Hurricane Helene Damage Update- After very long months of clean up, we are operational again. There was no damage to the cabin but the ponds had to be rebuilt. The area is still rebuilding so please keep that in mind when you come to the area.

Breathe ... It's time to take that long awaited vacation in the North Carolina mountains. Mountain Song Cabin is the perfect rustic retreat from the busy world. It is located in a quiet, private neighborhood just 8 minutes from downtown Boone, NC, a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive university town. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy getting back to this peaceful retreat for a soak in the hot tub after a long day on the trail. Everyone is welcome.

Grab a glass of your favorite beverage and sit on the porch or sit in the hot tub and watch the breathtaking sunsets and the indigenous wildlife feeding on the apple, pear, and cherry trees or even the wild blackberry bushes.

Inside you have all of the comforts of home. A well equipped kitchen, a cozy living area to enjoy the fireplace, a nicely remodeled bathroom and comfortable beds with heated mattress pads for those chilly nights.

Unplug and enjoy the fresh mountain while you soak away your cares in the spectacular hot tub. Have a fire; roast some marshmallows and enjoy s'mores at the large fire-pit! Enjoy your downtime listening to the spring peepers, crickets and chirping frogs. Chase lightning bugs like you did when you were a kid. Appreciate nature right here in your own backyard! Be on the look out for deer, groundhogs, wild turkey bears and foxes and there is always an orchestra of songbirds close by.

For your 'plugged in' entertainment and connectivity needs, there is a Bose iPod docking station, TV with streaming apps available, a video library and wireless internet service.

Mountain Song Cabin is your peaceful retreat in the Appalachian Mountains but don't forget to get out and enjoy the activities in the area. There is a wonderful farmers' market every Saturday morning from May to October at the Horn in the West parking lot. All of the wonderful fresh foods of the area are recommended. There are artists that create amazing works of art. There is usually live music and even fresh flowers for your table. Check out the 'Area Attractions' page for the links to many of the area's activities.

Note: There are exterior security cameras on the premises.

Thank you for your interest in Mountain Song Cabin. We look forward to seeing you!

Great views

We loved staying here. The mountin view was amazing and we had some spectacular sunsets. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked and we cooked dinner a couple of nights. Downtown Boone is very convenient and we went there most days. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot for a getaway

My children and I came up for a few days to visit Mystery Hill, snow tube, sled and enjoy the views! This was the most comfortable (and very very clean) accommodations I have had in the area. Directions were very clear, everything we needed was available and the location is perfect to get to Beech, Blowing Rock and Boone. Will definitely return!

Our 2nd stay here

We love Mountain Song for the view, the hills to climb (no extra gym needed!) Plenty of stars, gorgeous sunrises, and the best thing is your 10 minutes from Boone. Plenty of great food, and things to do. We'll be back again.

Great stay!!

The cabin was beautiful and was perfect for our family. We came down to tour App State for my daughter and the location of the cabin was great for just that! The cabin provided games, pamphlets of nearby attractions, and even a hot tub to keep us entertained for the weekend. The view from the porch was absolutely gorgeous and we definitely enjoyed waking up to the breathtaking mountains. Thank you.

Mountain Song Cabin

The cabin was cozy, comfortable and very well equipped. We did not cook in much but when we did everything was right there. The cabin was convenient to Boone and Blowing Rock. The view was the reason we were there. It was spectacular. It was a big view with mountains close and in the distance. We never tired of looking at the mountains. We would rent this cabin again.

Very nice cabin in a quiet neighbourhood

My wife and I plus our two dogs (small/medium sized) visited the area as we wanted to see more of the countryside surrounding Boone plus we have friends visiting later this year and we wanted to see what we could do to show them around. The cabin is up a hill on a private road and while there are neighbours it is very quiet and peaceful. The cabin is well appointed and has everything you would need for a stay plus it has a great balcony for viewing the mountains and a hot tub. Not sure when it was built but it has certainly been modernized and well looked after. All in all a great option.
