Tucked away in the woods and wrapped in its own creek, this sweet, homey cottage is wonderfully located for all three area ski slopes. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath vacation rental lets you spend evenings by the creekside fire, family game nights tucked in your wool socks, and mornings waking to the song of the creek. Head to Boone, Blowing Rock, or Banner Elk for a great mix of shops and restaurants, from fine to fun, or off to the mountains to shred for the day. Just come. You'll see.
