About this cabin rental

WOW, what a top of the ridge view! Hemlock Point is an Appalachian Log Homes cabin built in the vernacular of the historic style. Square logs reminiscent of the Scotch Irish settlers in the 1700's make you feel as if you have stepped back to an earlier time. Large hemlocks, abundant on this property give Hemlock Point cabin its name. Furnished with antiques, a claw foot bathtub, a modern spa hot tub on the deck, natural materials, comfortable furniture, quilts, a soapstone fireplace (albeit gas logs), a real wood fireplace on the outside deck, a gun on the mantle, a variety of varmints hung on the wall (bought at auction)... collections to create an atmosphere of make believe. You are a now in the role of mountain settler, cozy up to the fire and set a spell.


The mountain ridge views from this log home are phenomenal. The breezes of refreshing mountain air are exhilarating. Looking out over 7 to 9 ridges (depends on the day) you can imagine how it looked to 'first nations' peoples and early settlers seeing it for the first time. Daniel Boone traversed these mountain ranges, living just few miles away on the Yadkin River. You certainly will believe that God was at work in building all the mountain's glory. Most of our guests have commented on God's blessings for this space, this mountain, this respite in their lives. Leatherwood Mountains subdivision, a 4000 acre gated community in southwestern Wilkes County, NC, is well known in the horse world for its extensive horse trail system, some of the most rugged in the eastern United States. The 50 miles of trails within the subdivision are perfect for hikers as well as horsemen. The views, the trails, the nature, the glory will abide here for all time.


Hemlock Point Cabin is handicapped 'friendly'. It has a wheelchair ramp, wide doorways on the first level, shower and toilet bars...while not meeting every requirement for your family member that is handicapped, we have made it accessible. Make sure you include ALL of your family on your vacation.


Sitting on the top of a ridge, Hemlock Point cabin's views toward the western mountain ranges encompass up to 7 distant ridges. Hemlock Point cabin is located in private wilderness Leatherwood Mountains subdivision. Being in the wilderness does not mean that one should be without modern comforts. The cabin features WiFi with Streaming Roku television with Netflix and Amazon Prime subscriptions; a well stocked kitchen for your self catering convenience includes both drip and Keurig style coffee makers.

Hot tub great. Very well stocked kitchen.

Hemlock Point felt like a hug when we walked through the front door--it's such a cozy home! Despite a busy weekend, we got plenty of relaxation thanks to fresh foothills air drifting through a few windows, the long-distance mountain views from either of the porches or balcony, and the natural surroundings. The night sky views on clear nights are amazing, and the last sunset was spectacular! Every room in the cabin was clean, there are plenty of towels and wash cloths, the kitchen is well-stocked, the beds were comfy, and some of the decor gave us interesting things to learn and admire. The younger generation in our party enjoyed the hot tub on a cool night as well.We hope to stay here again--we loved every minute of our stay at Hemlock Point. Thanks so much to the hosts!

We had a great relaxing weekend. All instructions were sent before our arrival and everything went smoothly! It is a nice quiet retreat, perfect for a little reset!

The cabin and location were beautiful. However, it was very obvious that nobody had been there to check the condition of the cabin prior to us arriving. There was mouse poop literally everywhere, in the kitchen, the bathrooms, floor. We had to clean prior to being able to relax. We did reach out to the owner who told us someone would be by in the morning—but no one showed. We were given 2 door codes for entry. One the keypad was dead. The cabin has such potential but it needs a very good cleaning first.
