★ OTHER THINGS TO NOTE ★

Please note that this log cabin is 170-years-old. It's been well-cared for and offers plenty of cozy charm but does have characteristics of a historic home such as bumpy flooring, uneven stairs, and the occasional draft if it's cold and windy outside. In the winter the house is heated by the gas fireplace and electric space heaters so this may not be the best fit for guests who have balance issues or unsupervised children. In addition, we are located in the woods, the property is treated but there is a good chance you might see a bug or two in the warmer seasons!

Decent Get-A-Way
Overall decent little cabin location mared by storage units in front of the property, never mentioned in the ad. Was a little bit noiseyfrom the business. Overall cleanliness was good, check in and out was quick and easy. A leaf blower would have made his a literal home run but wasn’t horrible. The floors are part of the charm of an old cabin. These are CHARMing no doubt lol.

We enjoyed our time at the 1848 cabin. It was an experience in a primitive sort of way. There were enough modern additions to keep things simple. Great for a few days, but I wouldn’t want tylive there!

Little cabin stay
The cabin was clean, fully stocked, comfy beds. The yard needed some attention and porch areas. Cob webs, old wet rugs, debris from the trees, dirty windows and screens. Both bedrooms need black out curtains or shades to sleep better. Location was not on a flowing creek and the fish smell was noticeable.

Mountain Retreat
Really loved Banner Elk and the surrounding area. The cabin was perfect for us. The firepit area and back porch were our favorite spots to hang with weather in the low 70's everyday. Hiked the Boone Fork Trail (5 miles) with our dog and it was the best hike I have ever taken with rivers, mountains and all types of things to look at. The cabin is really fun as well. Everything works and was clean. We had a great week!

Little House on the Prairie!
My wife & I loved this cozy little cabin! It was perfect for us. It's over 100 years but you can tell it's been kept with love! We loved the rustic feel and floors. The home was clean and I loved the back porch area. I sat out there for hours just staring at the lake & mountain view. The gas station is in walking distance and there is a dollar general about 3 miles away for a quick store run. Getting to Boone is only a 10 minute drive. But most of time was spent in the cabin and we loved every minute of it! Shelley was awesome with her communication through text and she left very detailed instructions concerning the property. We will be back soon!!

A Hidden Gem
We rang in 2024 in this lovely little cabin. It is a place that gives you a true, rustic mountain experience. We even had a dusting of snow one morning. The original walls and floors are gorgeous. Nicely furnished, comfortable bed and pillows, nice large shower, cozy kitchen that’s well stocked and all of the amenities you would need. But I will say this cabin is not for everybody. It’s not perfect, the floors are uneven and it is drafty. But for us that’s part of the charm of staying in a cabin in the mountains that is over 150 years old. My only negative would be its location behind the storage facility but you could only see the storage facility if you were in the front yard. We spent our time in the back around the fire pit. When the trees are leafed out, I’m sure you see it even less. We hope to come back to this little gem one day!

Fantastic log cabin - thoroughly enjoyed my stay
This log cabin is a very special place. Was lucky to have rented it for five days. A lot of TLC was put in to the house, including everything in its right place including blankets and towels and a very orderly kitchen with all the right items for my stay. The host was excellent and answered questions promptly. Highly recommend this property. Rob

Cute cabin, centrally located
Loved the bed, bath, and overall decor of the place. Only downsides were really the location as it's not very private. But, on the upside it is very centrally located to all that area has to provide, including wineries, trails, waterfalls, and Grandfather Mountain. Overall, definitely a great option. Property manager is wonderful and easy to contact and very helpful.
