This cabin is a jackpot for anyone who loves jaw-dropping mountain views, surprise deer visits, and a driveway steep enough to question your life choices. Waking up in the loft felt like living in a nature documentary, complete with actual deer strolling by while we lounged in the hot tub like the mountain VIPs we clearly are. There was even a baby deer—because this place is obviously the Bambi hangout. The “Fun Boxes” in every bathroom and the kitchen were like mystery gifts. Shampoo, body wash—oh, the luxury! We even peeled ourselves away for an App State game and a shopping spree on King Street but couldn’t wait to return to our cozy hideaway. Best perk? Dogs allowed! Our dog Birdie had the time of her life, though she would’ve loved a flat spot for her “business.” Every potty break was an uphill trek that had her giving us serious side-eye. Our young adults took over the basement pool table and basically vanished for hours, which we’re calling a parental win. Quirks? The driveway is a steep adventure that had us praying each time we pulled out—if you hit snow, bring 4WD and a sense of adventure. And if you want ice in your drinks, BYOI (Bring Your Own Ice). The shower caddies are hanging in there, but just barely. All in all, we’d come back in a heartbeat. Birdie, Fun Boxes, driveway thrills, and deer parades—this cabin has it all. Just don’t forget to say a little prayer and brace yourself for that driveway challenge!

This house was so close to Boone yet felt like you had the solitude you want when you go to the mountains. There was a great view, and the hot tub was an added bonus.

The house was clean and stocked with necessities. Quick and easy drive straight to downtown Boone. The hot tub was perfect for a Boone night. I will be renting this cabin again!
