Our cabin was remodeled in 2022. It is now a clean, modern, serene, 725 sq ft cabin located in Foscoe, NC. We can comfortable sleep 4 guest but can accommodate 5 if a guest would like to sleep on the couch.

Like many mountain cabins, we do not have central air conditioning. However, our large windows allow for gentle mountain breezes and plenty of natural light, creating a fresh and airy feel throughout the cabin. We also provide a ceiling fan in the living room along with rotating fans in each bedroom.

FOR SUMMER STAYS, PORTABLE A/C UNITS are installed in the living room and both bedrooms from May 30 through September. Guests staying between October and May should note that the portable A/C units are removed during the cooler months, when guests can enjoy the cool mountain air and gentle breezes through the open windows.

The inviting living room was designed for cozy mountain evenings, featuring a spacious leather sofa and two soft blue velvet swivel chairs perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE HIDEAWAY:

"This place was beautiful and close to many things in the area. Both bedrooms were cozy, bathroom was clean and a great size, and the fireplace was great during the winter. We saw many deer close to the cabin which was a great surprise as well! Easy to get around to blowing rock, Appalachian ski mountain, grandfather mountain, and sugar mountain! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a getaway. Brandi was super helpful and responsive!" - Jenny

"The house was beautiful! Very clean, comfortable, cozy. We utilized the fire pit area every evening we were there. Felt secluded, but was close to shopping & dining. Would stay there again!" - Tim

"It was the perfect getaway for me and my wife. The hideaway was an ideal basecamp to explore the mountains and wonderful communities of Blowing Rock, Boone and Banner Elk. The foliage was spectacular, especially from the peaks of Grandfather mountain and Table Rock. Our favorite restaurant for fine dining was the Beat Cellar in Blowing Rock. We will definitely be back!" ~ Joni

We had a great stay here. The house was cute, clean overall, comfortable, and well-furnished for our needs. We appreciated that it had both TV and decent DVDs, all the basic amenities provided, laundry machines, and a great selection of kitchen equipment for cooking (much better than many other places we have stayed). The neighborhood was quiet, and the trees surrounding it helped it feel more secluded from the many neighbors. It is located conveniently close to all the stores, restaurants, and hiking locations we wanted to visit in Banner Elk, Boone and Blowing Rock. It has no AC, so it got a little warm inside in April, but there were lots of fans inside which helped keep it comfortable. It might be too warm to stay very comfortable in the summer, but for fall, winter and spring, would definitely recommend!

The cabin worked out perfectly for us. Loved the central location to both Sugar Mountain (for skiing) and Boone (for the great food). It’s also extremely close to a Dollar General in case you forget anything. Wish I would’ve paid attention in the listing that one room had a full size bed (the other has a queen), but we made it work for our family of four. Having access to a washer and dryer was a win for me. There’s a shared Jack and Jill type bathroom between the two rooms. The porch was an enjoyable place to hang out and loved the plethora of blankets provided. All in all I would definitely return.Only words of advice: Try to arrive when it’s still daylight. There are several steps you have to walk up to get your luggage into the house and when we arrived at night, we definitely felt the presence of some animals watching us.

We stayed her for the weekend for my husband’s birthday. Cozy and clean. The shower has hard water but you just have to let it run for a minute or two. Very close to everything. We went into banner elk, Boone and over to Grandfather mountain. It was not cold enough to ski or snow tube while we were there but it’s close to the slopes. There’s a dollar general across the street if you need anything quick. Great place for a weekend getaway.

The stay was over all very great ! The only reason we give 4 stars (would give 4.5 if possible) is only because the mattress to the bed was very uncomfortable but manageable! We loved that the host provides games, which we enjoyed playing out on the patio and s’mores by the fire, which the host provided tools to make! The outdoor lights definitely add a touch of coziness and charm as well. The host is so kind, communicates well and even allowed us to check in a little early if it was possible to do so that day, we loved that! The area is not far from a small town, but does make you feel like you are in the middle of nature, very private and peaceful! Being within 30 minutes of blowing rock, grandfather Mountain, and downtown Boone is definitely a perk. We highly recommend the stick boy Café and bakery in Boone, as well as the mountain dog Café three minutes away from the stay itself (perks of it having a dog themed coffee menu named after dog breeds) we thought it was so precious! We loved our stay !

Beautiful and quaint just no AC

Overall a nice stay minus the AC, it was a 80 day and we sleep pretty cold at home... my husband and I didn't sleep well. Windows were able to open but the weather was not on our side this trip. Quiet area and close to many things. Nice get away for us overall. Thank you for the stay

Perfect little retreat

My partner and I visited with my 5 year old. It was the perfect little house for the 3 of us. The house was nice and clean and everything was explained perfectly in the check in details. We really enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit roasting marshmallows. I definitely recommend staying! It’s very obvious that the owners love thier property.

Great stay!

My family and I (3 boys under 5 y/o) stayed here on our trip to get a Christmas tree from a local WNC tree farm. We had the best time. The boys absolutely fell in love with the Christmas decorations in the house, especially the tree. We would love to stay here again! You can tell the owner takes time and pays attention to what guests need/want. They had firewood available , and all the necessities you could think of. Thanks for a wonderful , memorable experience!!
