Rustic Updated Cabin in the Heart of the Appalachian High Country

Our little vacation cabin is situated among the foot hills of the Appalachian chain and was built in the 1940s as a tenant farmer's house. It stands on our 15 acre property, up the hill, hidden and behind the big old farmhouse where my husband and I live. It is a quiet and private spot. You can watch the birds and see the stars. The cabin is surrounded by pasture land and a crop of Christmas trees farther up the hill.
We are situated in Ashe County in the farthest northwest corner of North Carolina, very near the Virginia state line. A fifteen minute drive will get you to Grayson Highlands State Park, and a twenty minute drive to White Top, White Top Mountain where there is access to the Appalachian Trail, the high end of the Virginia Creeper Bike Trail and Mount Rogers. The New River and New River Park is not far away. Helton Creek, popular for fishing is just across the road from us. If you enjoy old time and blue grass music there are many outside nearby music festivals during the summer months.
The nearest small town is West Jefferson where visitors enjoy wandering among small shops, cafes, a cheese factory that is open to the public, a brewery and a small museum in the old court house building. There is a Saturday morning farmers market on Back Street and frequent street festivals during the summer months. Boone, Blowing Rock and Blue Ridge Parkway are about an hour drive away.

A Hidden Gem in the Mountains!
My husband and I plus our dog Bodie recently stayed at this charming mountain cabin, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the cows next door and the cool mountain air. The cabin itself is the perfect blend of cozy and rustic, with every detail thoughtfully curated. The living area was spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful wood stove and tv with all the streaming services that made our evenings relaxing and snug. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease while enjoying the deck. We especially appreciated the little things like spices to cook with, olive oil, and various toiletries. We were particularly impressed by the attention to detail in the décor—every room had its own unique character, and the cabin had all the modern amenities we needed without sacrificing its quaint charm. The front porch was a highlight, offering a serene spot to enjoy morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while taking in the sounds of nature. The location was ideal for exploring the nearby Grayson Highlands and enjoying outdoor activities in Lansing and West Jefferson. We found the local recommendations provided by the hosts to be incredibly helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home.

Sister Time
We enjoyed the cabin. A mix up on dates so when we arrived the cabin had not been cleaned. However the owner was very responsive and reimbursed our cleaning fee. So we were pleased. The lady that came to clean was very friendly. The cabin could use a few modifications (nothing major) for example it would be nice to have a full length mirror inside the cabin, the furniture in the living room is outdated and not to comfortable after a long hike and the table on the front porch needs replacing, The cabin was supplied with all necessities and that was extremely helpful The showers were great and bed was very comfortable. My sister and I truly enjoyed our time away hiking at Grayson Highlands, visiting Jefferson and just relaxing at the cabin.

Beautiful mountain cabin
Great place to stay, very nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. It’s very peaceful and private, you can sit outside on two seperate decks, on the one in the back we enjoyed breakfast and in the evening we used the barbecue. Lots to do in the area, and so nice to have such a beautiful place to come home to after a busy day!

we enjoyed the stay
The property was clean, and its location is in the close proximity to several state parks (e.g.Grayson highlands state park in VA and New river state park in NC). The host also provided info about where to go & eat. We captured good pictures of wild ponies at the trails that she recommended. The house has a full kitchen. If you don't want to cook, about 1 miles from the house, there is a convenient store, which provides large selections of sandwiches & pizzas. We liked their philly cheesesteak and onion rings.

Another Great Stay!
This was our 3rd stay at this beautiful cabin and we feel at home when we are there. The cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is in its own little hollow at the end of a long drive and the privacy and peacefulness is unmatched. We arrived a little earlier than we thought and had the privilege of running into the Julian family as they were finishing tidying up for our arrival. It was nice to see Rosemary again and to meet her son, daughter-in-law and their two little girls. In our conversation we mentioned that my wife just retired and I was retiring next week. Imagine our surprise when we arrived back from hiking the next day to find on the porch a wonderful gift basket full of goodies and a nice card from the Julian family congratulating us on our retirement! That was so kind and thoughtful. Thank you again for allowing us to stay at your cabin once again, we had a great vacation. We look forward to coming back in the future. Jim and Cindy

If you want to get away from it all for a few days, this is the place! We were there for 5 days and never heard traffic or sirens... Just the occasional bellowing of a cow and birds chirping. Will definitely stay here again.

Great home base for adventure!
The cabin was a great place to stay while adventuring in Grayson Highlands State Park and riding down the Virginia Creeper bike trail. The setting is peaceful and we enjoyed watching deer and wild turkeys while sitting on the back deck. The cabin was clean and as described. We took the recommendations of the owner and bought basic groceries and had dinner in Lansing. We would recommend this cabin to friends and hope to return in the future!
