The cabin is a dreamy space for a couple, family or group of friends. (Plus your four legged friend!)
The whole log cabin was thoughtfully renovated, and maintains its Appalachian charm predating back to the 1800’s. You will find many special touches throughout, like original logs and flooring, big wooden beams, hand built counters and doors milled from wood from the hollow, super-comfy queen sized beds and local landscape photos throughout, taken by Kate, your host. The cabin is cozy, yet open and spacious, with a lot of natural lighting and infused with love & care. Situated on a 25 acre sanctuary in the mountains, at the base of the famous Humpback Rocks. A perfect setting & escape for those who want to bask in the outdoors and enjoy all this area has to offer. After your days adventures, kick your feet up & feel right at home! Let your cares melt away! Sip your coffee or wine from the porch with Blue Ridge Mountain View’s. Gaze at the stars & roast a smore from your own private campfire. The cabin is ideal for 2-6 guests.
