Welcome to Easy Mornings Cabin - a peaceful 2-bedroom + loft mountain cabin in the small, quiet community of Little Bavaria in Vilas, North Carolina. You're 4 miles from Valle Crucis and the original Mast General Store, under 7 miles from downtown Boone and App State, and about 11 miles from Blowing Rock and Appalachian Ski Mountain.

This is a home made for gathering. Rock on the covered front porch above a green lawn that rolls down to a small stream. Soak in the hot tub tucked into the trees off the back deck. Pull the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit as the sun goes down, then come inside and settle in by the stone fireplace.

Tall dry-stack stone fireplace (propane) in the vaulted great room
Fire pit with Adirondack seating on the lawn, steps from the stream

THE SPACE
Honey-toned pine sets the tone throughout: vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, refinished plank floors and knotty pine wainscoting with sage, cream and buffalo-check accents. The open great room centers on the stone fireplace, with a power-reclining sofa, leather recliners and a TV. The kitchen opens to a farmhouse dining table with Windsor chairs under a vintage chandelier.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS - SLEEPS 6
Main bedroom: queen bed, ceiling fan, TV, closet.

Upstairs bedroom: queen bed under a sloped pine ceiling, ceiling fan, rocking chair.

Loft: two twin beds in an open loft overlooking the great room.
Two full bathrooms - one tub/shower, one walk-in shower. I provide all linens, towels and starter toiletries.

OUTDOOR LIVING
The back deck was rebuilt in 2022 and has two levels, with Adirondack chairs and a propane gas grill up top and the hot tub below, wrapped in rhododendron and tall poplars. Out front, the covered porch is the best seat in the house for morning coffee. Down on the lawn, the fire pit sits at the edge of the woods and a red bench faces the stream. Keep an eye out for deer on the lawn in the early morning and at dusk.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Little Bavaria is small and private, with quiet gravel roads that are perfect for an evening walk, with or without your dog. The community pond, about 0.2 mile away, is open to guests for catch-and-release fishing, and Dutch Creek Trails offers horseback riding just over half a mile from the cabin. You're centered between Valle Crucis, Boone and Blowing Rock, with ski slopes and hiking trails all within a short drive.

GOOD TO KNOW
Self check-in with a keyless smart lock. The neighborhood roads are gravel, so AWD or 4WD is HIGHLY recommended in winter. The upstairs bedroom and loft are reached by an open-tread staircase. There are two exterior security cameras by the driveway; there are no cameras inside the home. Up to 2 dogs welcome with a pet fee. This is a NON SMOKING PROPERTY.
