About this property

Crazy Like a Fox Log Cabin | 2 Huge Decks w/ Incredible Views | Pool Table & Foosball

With over 3,000sqft to spread out, Crazy Like a Fox is the log cabin of your dreams. The interior is crafted from northern white cedar and heart hickory flooring, giving the cabin the ambiance of an upscale mountain lodge. Set on more than an acre, the landscaped yard and spacious decks make this home perfect for both indoor and outdoor living.
--------------------------------------------
Indoor Spaces:
- Sleeping arrangements: Sleeps up to 10. The primary bedroom is just off the great room, with a king-size bed, an en-suite bathroom, and direct deck access. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with one queen and one full-size bed. On the lower level is yet another bedroom with a king bed that also features direct access to the lower deck.
- Main level: Massive windows and high ceilings with hand-hewn beams welcome you into this spacious main level. Cozy up around the floor-to-ceiling river rock gas fireplace. A large flatscreen TV and plenty of cushioned seating make this great room one of the best lounging spots in the home. Adjacent is the dining room and large chef's kitchen, featuring gorgeous hickory cabinetry and ample counterspace for cooking and snacking at home.
- Upper level: Along with the upstairs bedrooms, the upper level also comes with a loft that overlooks the great room, perfect for reading or working.
- Lower level: Downstairs is entertainment central, with its own large TV, a pool table, a foosball table, plush seating, and access to the lower deck.
- Crazy Like a Fox Log Cabin comes with WiFi, AC, and streaming services.
- All Stay Blue Ridge vacation rentals include a complimentary starter pack with soaps, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, a roll of paper towels in the kitchen, dishwasher pods, and trash bags.
--------------------------------------------
Outdoor Spaces:
- Enjoy abundant outdoor space. Two decks span the entire front of the house and overlook the expansive lawn, offering breathtaking mountain views.
- Fire up the grill and gather around the outdoor table as you dine al fresco.
- After the sun sets, head out to the fire pit for some nighttime conversation and star-gazing, as you let the stress of everyday life melt away.
--------------------------------------------
Local Surroundings:
- You're just 15 minutes from the small town of Sparta, known for its eclectic collection of shops, restaurants, live music, and friendly folks. Check out the popular Becca's Backwoods Beans for a hot cup of coffee before heading out to lunch or dinner at Main Street Pizzeria or the Italian-American fusion restaurant Crave. Looking for live music? Visit Muddy Creek Café and Music Hall or journey out to the Alleghany Jubilee, where you can experience traditional mountain music and dancing. From Crazy Like a Fox, you're also a short drive away from Red Dog Bar & Bistro in Piney Creek, where you can enjoy upscale dining.
- If your group is a fan of water sports, you're in luck. From the cabin, you are only 15 minutes away from the New River State Park and other river access points. Bring your own canoes, kayaks, and tubes, or rent equipment from one of the many local outfitters. Make sure to bring your fishing gear, too!
- Nature lovers will love nearby parks like Grayson Highlands State Park and Doughton Recreation Area, each no more than 30 minutes from your home base. You are also positioned close to many Blue Ridge Parkway access points, a scenic roadway with many stunning overlooks and hiking trails. While the parkway and surrounding areas are beautiful year-round, they are especially memorable when the leaves change in the fall.
- No High Country vacation is complete without a day trip up to the quaint mountain town of West Jefferson, roughly 40 minutes away from your rental. Here, you'll find even more restaurants and exceptional shopping opportunities at the town's many locally-owned shops, antique stores, and art galleries. Sample local crafts and harvests at the Ashe County Farmers Market during the warm months, or watch how cheese is made at the world-famous Ashe Co. Cheese Factory year-round. No matter what time of year you visit, downtown West Jefferson has endless fun and entertainment to keep you busy.
--------------------------------------------
Important Notes:
- Pet Policy: Up to two dogs welcome. Must be well-behaved, leash and crate trained, 2 years or older, and 45lbs or less. $50 per pet, nonrefundable.
- Access: A gravel road leads to this home from US-221. The driveway offers ample parking space. We recommend AWD/FWD for winter visitors.
- Security Disclaimers: External cameras monitor the public areas outside of the house, keeping an eye on road conditions and critters passing by.
--------------------------------------------

We loved this home. It was thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable. The fireplace was so cozy. The outdoor space was really nice with a pretty view. We booked it for the fenced yard for our pups which was much appreciated. It is nice that the decks attach to the fenced yard so we didnt have to leash them to get to it. We cooked a lot and appreciated both the kitchen and the grill. We would definitely stay again. The center of town was about 15 minutes away which worked out well! Highly recommend this property.

Great reunion of friends!

We stayed with our friends, kids and dogs at Crazy Like a Fox. It is a beautiful, quiet, safe location. A comfortable and gorgeous home. We loved the fenced yard for the dogs, and sometimes the kids! It was too cold to use the fire pit, but we enjoyed the fireplace in the cabin. Sparta is a quick drive and a very cute town to visit. Would come back again!

Within a few minutes of starting my shower, the water in the tub had backed up above my ankles, and the sink upstairs was also holding water. Additionally, the upstairs bed was dirty, with visible hair and a crunchy white substance on the bedding. A lot of the kitchenware like pots, pans, strainer and baking sheets had visible food still on them. A few minor things like one of the fooseball entry holes was broken, dead flies on the floor, stink bugs on the bed.

Sparta Gem

My family and I had a wonderful holiday vacation at this property. It was very clean organized and detailed. The cabin comfortably fit 8 adults and 2 Dogs. The back yard was fenced in and had plenty room for the dogs to run around. The bedrooms were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with kitchen utensils, cookware and glassware. Sparta is a lovely quite area to meander around and just enjoy!

Best log cabin in the NC mountains!

Beautifully designed log cabin. The nicest cabin I have ever rented in the mountains, and I have been vacationing there for 35 years. Well worth the cost. Everything you could possibly want is there. Excellent layout for pets, the fencing design was special. I’m ready to go back.

Wonderful weekend getaway

This house was above and beyond our expectations! Very clean and comfortable! We had a group ranging from 8 to 86 and everyone had a ball! The fenced in backyard was a nice bonus as we had our little dog with us! Will definitely book again next year for our family trip to get our Christmas tree in Sparta!

Excellent home!

Your Comments Our family gathered at Crazy Like a Fox for the Labor Day weekend and enjoyed every minute. The house delivered everything we expected. Our one small question (where are the pool balls?) was answered quickly and satisfactorily by Stay Blue Ridge. We had the space we needed for everyone to sleep comfortably, even my 7 month old grandson’s pack and play fit easily in one of the spacious bedrooms. The deck and grounds were lovely and accommodated all our outdoor leisure time. The fire pit is great and there are plenty of shade trees. We didn’t even leave to explore the area because the spot was so beautiful! It was a pup’s paradise too. We cooked all our meals at the house and even baked a birthday cake. We found the kitchen to be well supplied. Overall a great trip! We would love to return!

Wonderful home!!!

Came to town for a sibling reunion. Wonderful home, great location, beautiful area. Very clean, big rooms. Four adult couples, yet enough space to get away for quiet time. Plenty of deer watching. Early morning was my favorite - sitting on the back porch, coffee in hand, listening to the birds. Highly recommend this home!!

Not ready for winter rental

Home space and layout ok. Stink bug infestation in upper level due to uneven heat distribution among floors. Freezing lower level, ok main floor, sweltering upper level. Onky one unit. Lost water for 2 days. No help from property manager. Got some water back (hot water only in some areas) day before we left. Long drive to dispose of trash. Would not recommend in winter.
