About this property

Log cabin with amazing views!! (Pets welcome!)

Our beautiful log cabin is located on the top of a ridge on Bell Mountain, looking out over Stone Mountain State Park. It sits on 18 secluded acres, most of which drops off into the valley. At the base of the property runs a creek, which features a 7 ft waterfall with cold and refreshing water. There are both front and back porches, with the back porch views looking out over protected lands with mountains as the back drop.

There are two bedrooms with doors (one with a king bed and one with a queen bed). There is also a loft that is essentially another bedroom, with a queen bed and a full bathroom. The master bedroom also has its own bathroom, while the 2nd bedroom downstairs you must walk a few feet across the hall to access. We also off a queen size plush air mattress for an additional 2 guests (total 8), with a built in pump.

There is a well-equipped kitchen, with an old-style gas stove, microwave, toaster oven, and coffee pot. There is a table that seats 4, as well as a larger dining table that seats 6, but a leaf can be added to accommodate bigger groups. There is also an island with two stools at it. In the living room there is a couch and a love seat, with a 55" Roku tv w/ access to netflix/amazon etc (must login using your own accounts). There are some free channels with the tv as well. Also in the living room is a little breakfast nook overlooking the mountain views.

There is an outdoor fire pit and picnic table. Additional outdoor chairs available for bigger groups if needed.

There are corn hole boards at the property. There is also a grill that can be used if desired.

We are surrounded by nature here, including the 6,400-acre Thurmond-Chatham game lands, 14,000+ acre Stone Mountain State Park, 7,000+ acre Doughton Park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is only approximately 20 miles from the house! We are also located near to the Yadkin Valley Wine Trail, a collection of 36+ wineries and vineyards. Stone Mountain Golf Club is just mnutes away, and the High Meadows Golf club is not far off either. Only 2.5 miles from the house there is access to a beautiful seasonally stocked trout stream.

For water activities:
Seasonal trout fishing available at a stream 2.5 miles from the house and also in Stone Mountain State Park right up the road (about 5 miles).

On the water activities try one of the following (40min to an hour or so away)

Was very private and quiet. Excellent for a well mannered small pet. Swing on the back porch was very nice considering i had a couple that loved to sit and swing. Fire pit area could use some small lightning on way to it or some sort of path. Other than that the fire pit it self was nice. All in all i have no complaints me and my family enjoyed our stay.

Great all around

The entire stay was a wonderful experience. The check in process was very detailed and easy. The property was beautiful and super clean. My favorite thing was the view from the back porch. One of the breakers tripped during our stay and the owners responded almost instantly to tell us where the box was to fix it. Overall I would definitely recommend you stay here!

Parks Family Vacation

Amazing. The back porch view is changing all the time. Spent 85% of our time outside. Beautful weather. House is complete with everything you could need. Our adult kids couldn't get to the waterfall. But there was so much more to do. They went to Stone Mountain Park and did a couple of the waterfall hikes there. Our dog did great there and love sleeping out on the back porch. Location of property was amazing. Owner and host were quick to response to any concerns.

Wonderful Place to be !

We loved this cabin! We took three grandchildren ( all under 8) with us . There was so much space and the cabin had a fully stocked kitchen, linens and anything you could need was available. The place was quiet and the views were just perfect. We had fabulous weather and loved the fresh mountain air and breezes. The kids loved to play outside and on the huge back porch. We visited a gem mine, Stone Mountain park and the NC zoo while in Hays. It was a great time ! We recommend this place !

Beautiful View

This property is at the very top of a nice neighborhood that is unusual for the mountains of this area. My family came prepared and we really enjoyed our stay. The views off the back porch were amazing morning,noon, and night. The beds were wonderful and we got great sleep. It is a bit of a hike for any groceries so come prepared, they only supply some basics. No foil and such, no shampoo or body soap so just bring your own and you'll have a wonderful stay.

Beautiful place

We were at this property for my daughters wedding. It was not a typical stay due to the complications of hurricane Helene.. Even with all the callenges of the week, the host was awesome with updates and conditions. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and well stocked for any of your needs. The views are amazing. Drive up was challeging but mostly due to the unexpected weather conditions. If your looking for a beautiful secluded place to get away, this is it!!!! Would love to book again some time ...

fantastic Best of the Best

Best vacation ever. I loved being isolated. I loved being far away to everything. I loved the rain on the metal roof. It was so incredibly relaxing and I can't wait to come back and search out more trails in this giant mountain range. Would have liked a different kind of king bed but probably for most people it would've been just fine. I'm a little extra picky. The house is amazing and it will not disappoint. Anyone who wants a secluded, relaxing stress-free vacation

Great views, plenty of space

We enjoyed staying at this house. It worked great for our family of 8 including adult daughters and grandparents. We spent the day visiting a few wineries and enjoyed the view and eating in during the evenings. We walked the neighborhood roads and also found the waterfall at the back of the property. The gravel road to the house was steep and winding but our mini van handled it fine. The house is 35 minutes to Elkin so we opted to cook in rather than go out. There were plenty of plates and silverware and basic cooking necessities. Not fancy but enough to get the job done. Everyone had a great time!

Words can’t describe this place

This booking was a last minute deal because of a family funeral in the area. The property owner couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating. The property itself is another story. I have never stayed at a place that is as close to heaven as you can get. Located at the very top of the mountain and away from everything else it’s is the most peaceful, serene place. With the rocking chairs on both porches to the spectacular views you couldn’t ask for more. Our trip was short and we couldn’t truly enjoy that all this place offered but we will definitely be back for a longer stay so that we can take in the trails and just be one with everything that is around us. Thank you to the amazing host for allowing your home.

The property and house were great . We weren’t able to find the waterfall . ( we heard it ) . The path was very difficult for us ( in our 60’s and 70’s ) . We enjoyed the sunrise and porch . It was very dark at night outside ( not sure of the flood lights ) so we skipped the fire pit . The property owner was very cooperative as we had a special situation come up and she was very helpful .

We had a wonderful time at the Log Cabin. The space in the house was perfect for our family of 5 adults and a dog. We loved the back porch each morning on rocking chairs and the porch swing. In the evening the crickets singing was delightful. We played many rounds of corn-hole and hiked in Stone Mountain State Park. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable, and we would come back again! Thank you.

Beautiful and relaxing

This was my second time staying at Kai’s cabin. Check-in was smooth, instructions and rules were clear, and we loved seeing the mountain laurel in bloom and hiking out to the waterfall. The cabin is charming and cozy, the view is incredible, and the kitchen has all the basics. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Wonderful mountain getaway!

This home & the view are beautiful!! The sunrises from the back porch were my favorite we had a couple of hiccups at first but the owner was super responsive & made everything right for us. We would definitely recommend booking here as long as you’re not worried about a dirty car, the views are more than worth it. Exactly as pictured & described

Mountain Cabin

Overall the cabin was very nice, needed a little exterior work. Our main concern was the two propane gas log fireplaces that would not ignite. We also have at our home gas logs and are quite familiar with the process. We unfortunately forgot to bring the owner's contact info, so we contacted VRBO to try and alert the owner. They provided us with a phone number. We left voice mail and in four days never heard from anyone. The second day we phoned VRBO again and they attempted to contact owner without success. I need to state the cabin did have propane gas pac heating, we were not without heat. It was very frustrating to not be able to communicate with the owner if the situation had been more serious.

Peaceful

The cabin was wonderful. It is beautiful and was very clean. Take your coffee to the front porch for sunrise. You can see Stone Mountain off in the distance. The hike to the waterfall is not long but the terrain is challenging at times. I always have a hiking stick but my wife and so also grabbed a stick in the forest to help with the walk. It is very private and we had a peaceful and enjoyable time with my wife and son.
