Farallon- Cozy Cabin with hot tub, fire pit, wood fireplace!

Enjoy the private natural setting among boulders and native rhododendron in this favorite two bedroom two bath log cabin while still convenient to area attractions and amenities. Features hot tub, central AC, outdoor firepit and wood burning fireplace to accommodate up to six with a King master and a second queen bedroom each with their own private bath, plus room for up to two more on the sleeper sofa in the living room.

Welcome to Farallon, one our coziest Valle Crucis log cabin rentals. Surrounded by hardwoods and rhododendron and natural rock outcroppings, this cabin offers the perfect mountain hideaway. To step onto the covered side porch is to already disappear from the hectic world of deadlines and intrusions. The most pressing intrusion here is likely to be a chattering squirrel or the leaves dappling the light upon the pages of the latest best-seller.

To open the door and step inside is to be greeted by nature. The spaciousness of the floor plan is augmented by large windows flanking the magnificent wood-burning fireplace and rising all the way to the cathedral ceiling. With the clean lines of the furniture and the contemporary wrought iron light fixtures suspending from the ceiling offer unobstructed view of the forest outside every window.

The open dining area features seating for six and French doors that open onto the front deck equipped with a gas grill for preparing mountain trout freshly caught in the nearby Watauga River. Pristine modern appliances appoint the fully-equipped centrally located kitchen.

The living area features a comfortable seating area before the fireplace, a flat screen television, and a cabinet of books and games for relaxing after the day's excursions of canoeing and hiking. A telescope waits in the corner for gazing at stars light years away in the crystal clear skies. Hidden behind the kitchen are two bedrooms. The master offers a King bed and the second bedroom has a Queen bed, and each offers the rustic comfort of layers of patchwork quilts. Large windows allow plenty of sunlight for enjoying a lazy breakfast in bed.

A large covered deck stretches the entire front of the cabin, overlooking the surrounding rhododendron and large boulders. The deck is furnished with rocking chairs for after dinner snoozing and features a hot tub for soaking away the stiffness of overdoing it on the slopes while the snow falls around you or hiking up nearby Grandfather Mountain. Follow the path outside to your own fire pit for knocking off the chill after a summertime shower, roasting dogs and s'mores, and telling bear tales.

Beautiful little cabin!

We enjoyed our stay at Farallon cabin! The well appointed cabin is very comfortable and quiet, with nice views from the porch! Very quiet and peaceful. We even enjoyed a couple of visitors during our stay! The drive up the mountain is a bit winding, so be prepared. As other reviews and per the owners description stated, make sure you are in an appropriate vehicle for your visit. We look forward to our next visit!

Perfect Getaway from it all

We loved the serenity, peace and quiet and true cabin in the woods feel. It is pretty remote and the need for a 4 wheel drive vehicle is an absolute must especially if there is snow.

Beautiful

This was a cozy cabin in the woods with beautiful views. The fire place was perfect for the cold nights. Definitely would recommend AWD or 4x4 vehicle. The driveway is a bit steep and slippery when it rained. Also the road getting to the property is under construction, and not the easiest to traverse. This house was worth the drive!

Great Stay!

Wonderful experience! The cabin is cozy, very pretty and has everything you need. Feels very secluded in the woods, but close to Boone and lots of great hiking trails. Everything was very clean when we arrived and the hot tub was clean and ready to use. The only minor gripe is that the shower curtain was mildewed and the towels smelled like cigarettes, but everything else was immaculate. The grill was broken but kitchen well supplied. We will definitely recommend and will be back!

Sledding Weekend with kids

The property was beautiful! It offers a great view of the rising sun over the mountains during the winter months. We chose this property because it is close to Beech Mountain and its activities. The owner provided family games; however, after a day of activity in the mountains, my kids were too tired to play them. The property has everything you need to make a quick meal. The driveway is very steep and close to the edge of the downslope, and the property is in the mountains. I brought my SUV and managed to get around, but we had no snow or ice storms during our stay. I recommend checking the Beech Mountain weather and getting chains put on tires if going during a snow or ice event. Helene wiped out some bridges, so you will have to transverse over detour dirt roads, and your car will get muddy. We did not try out the hot tub, but we did enjoy the wrap-around porch and loved that we could bring our dog.

Private, Super Clean, Everything you need

This may be an older cabin but you will not find a cleaner one. Blue Ridge is awesome communicator. Weber grill on deck, classic older style jacuzzi 4 person hot tub on deck, two couches and nice fireplace. Only one neighbor about 4 acres away. Very private. Amazing sunrises and Mountain View’s from deck and living room. Loaded kitchen. Perfect for weekend. Hike from the home to the top of mountaintop- about .3 miles. Cons: no yard. Home on slope. Small driveway that required 4x4, 25 mins from any stores, one lane road to home (arrive in daylight only). Pro Tip- go to Kettle Brewery in Banner Elk - place is a dive but awesome brew. We will be back to this home.
