Country Life - hot tub, wood burning fireplace, pet friendly

Welcome to Country Life! Warm and inviting best describes the atmosphere of this nicely decorated three bedroom, two bath cabin located in the development of Little Bavaria in Valle Crucis.

This home features a wood burning fireplace and large flat screen TV in the living room. For added comfort, Country Life has central air conditioning, a drip coffeemaker in the kitchen, and laundry room with full sized washer and dryer.

You'll find the family room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room and two Queen bedrooms on the main level. There is also a full bath between the two bedrooms. Each of these two Queen bedrooms have chic LVP flooring!

Upstairs you will find the large loft with plenty of furnishings and a sofa sleeper. The king suite bedroom with a private bath offers a newly upgraded double vanity, whirlpool tub and separate shower.

Head outside to soak in the hot tub, toast marshmallows the wood burning fire pit, or take in nature sitting in the rockers on the oversize covered front porch. This home is dog friendly (pet rent per pet) and has ample yard surrounded by mountains. Walk just a short ways down the neighborhood street and enjoy catch & release fishing at the stocked Different Drum Lake in the neighborhood!

Enjoy your stay at Country Life!

This is one of our favorite cabins! We can’t wait to go back. It is well decorated, immaculately clean, and has everything you would need to enjoy your stay. The views are beautiful! My kids loved rolling down the hills and having s’mores. We almost wish we had not planned as many activities bc we wanted to spend more time at the cabin! The hot tub was awesome for my husband and I after putting the kids to bed. 10/10 recommend.

They provide everything you need for your stay and have such amazing views. Especially when the deer pass the windows in the morning. The only thing I did not like was the stiffness of the beds, but my husband does not agree with me.

We had a wonderful week at this cabin, it was as pictured, clean and had everything we needed. The location is the best part, we are close to everything but yet when you turn into Lams way it is peaceful and no traffic.

Great stay at Country Life with Valle Crucis Log Cabin Rentals

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were here for a family wedding and the cabin was great! The ladies were most helpful at check-in with information. Located in a rural subdivision with larger lots so plenty of privacy but still close enough to everything needed. Very clean. Hot tub jets were not very powerful but it was hot and sparkling clean like it should be. Will definitely stay with them again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really enjoyed our stay at Country Life. Felt right at home. Myself, my wife, kids, and grandkids all enjoyed the cabin. It was well furnished, nicely decorated, had comfortable furniture and beds. Nice large Smart TV in the living room and another one in the loft upstairs. Hot Tub worked great. Kitchen was nicely furnished. Grill was clean and worked well. We enjoyed seeing the horses behind the house. Plenty of yard for the kids to run around (not very common with most mountain cabins). Only problem was that the ice maker in the refrigerator did not work, but they were waiting on a part to fix it. Easy to get to with no really steep roads. Location was great. Close to Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mtn., etc.
