About this property

The last slice of Ginger Cake Acres


Our mountain log cabin hideaway is nestled among a giant
rhododendron thicket in beautiful Ginger cake Acres. This
luxurious A-frame log cabin provides a private rustic experience
with elegant charm. Ours was the last cabin built by the original
developer, thus the name "The Last Slice". This casual friendly
mountain community is in the midst of all the attractions of the
Blue Ridge Parkway and North Carolina Mountains.
The 4000 foot altitude ensures spectacular fall colors, beautiful
spring wild flowers, cool breezes throughout the summer and a cozy
fireplace to warm you through the winter.
If you want to feel totally private and isolated just stay on the
large deck surrounded by the woods or in the great room with it's
lofted ceiling and wall of glass.
The cabin offers two bedrooms with full beds, a full bath, laundry,
and large great room with fireplace and fully equipped kitchen all
on the main floor. We also offer a landline with free long distance
as well as DirectTV on our 54in. Samsung Smart TV in the great room.
Upstairs there is a large loft bedroom with 2 queen beds as well as a tv with DirectTV.
We are just minutes from Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls,
Linville Gorge and Linville Caverns.
Nearby mountain communities such as Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Beech
Mountain, Valle Crusis and Boone offer a wide variety of food, shopping
and numerous festivals. Five Golf Courses and Four Ski Resorts within
twenty minutes offer downhill skiing, tubing, sledding, snowboarding
and ice skating.Gingercake offers miles of pathways and winding
roads for walking and biking.
Pets considered, no smoking inside! We invite you to enjoy the "Last Slice" of Gingercake Acres!

Quiet getaway for the family

This was our third trip to this cabin, and it did not disappoint. We like the wide open spaces for our family to gather together inside or outside. The hosts are always quick to respond if we need to reach them for any reason. We usually go in the early spring, but I am glad we waited a little longer this year to allow the flowers and trees to bloom, because it is a beautiful area.

Beautiful Setting, but Cabin Was Not Clean or Well-MaintainedBeautiful Area, Some Cabin Issues

The location of this cabin is excellent—quiet, wooded, and close to some of the best hiking and mountain attractions in the area. The neighborhood is peaceful, and check-in was straightforward. The owners were communicative and tried to assist when problems came up.However, the cabin itself was a disappointment. While the beds were made and linens were clean, the overall cleanliness of the cabin was poor. There was dust and cobwebs on walls, light fixtures, shelves, and other surfaces throughout the cabin. The kitchen dishes were dusty and several bowls contained dead bugs. Every dish, pot, pan, and utensil had to be washed before use. Additionally, the outdoor deck was dirty and covered in debris, and there were cigarette butts left in ashtrays on the deck and scattered around the yard.The gas fireplace did not work during our stay. The owners responded quickly and attempted to help us troubleshoot the issue, but it turned out to be a problem that only the gas company could fix. Unfortunately, that meant no working fireplace for the duration of our trip, which was disappointing given the cool weather.All that said, this cabin has potential, but the state of cleanliness detracted from our experience.

Great cozy cabin

We loved the cabin and had so much fun. We brought our own games, but there were actually some there, so we had a wide variety. Great communication with our host, too.

Great spot in the woods

Relaxing mornings waking up, making coffee, sitting on the porch and listening to the birds. Fire pit was a great place to tell jokes and hang out. And the hikes nearby were all amazing. Everything we needed out a cabin

Last slice

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin has great potential, however the bathroom downstairs needs to be updated. I will say, there’s great water pressure in the shower. The kitchen lights didn’t work over the sink. Would I stay there again? Yes I would.
