About this property
Smokey Mountain Hideaway w/Hot Tub Pet Friendly
Relax with the whole family at our peaceful, secluded cabin. Located only 15 minutes from Boone and ASU, 20 miles from Banner Elk and 30 miles from Blowing Rock, our cabin is centrally located to everything you need for a relaxing vacation.
Although secluded and private, our cabin has all the comforts of home including fast Wifi, a smart TV and a fully stocked kitchen. A couple of nights on the deck soaking in the hot tub and you'll be hooked for years to come! Read on...
IMPORTANT: The cabin does not have A/C. Because it is located over 4300 feet above sea level, the temperatures are rarely above the 70's even in the warmest months of the year. Nights are always nice and cool!
4 wheel drive is recommended during all months but REQUIRED during winter months. The road to the cabin is somewhat steep and has some sharp curves for the last 1.5 miles. Snow removal can be unpredictable.
NOTE: Although the cabin is private and in a very rural area, there are other houses within view including a property next door. It is not very close, but still exists. It is a very quiet and peaceful area.
LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN
The living room and kitchen provide an inviting, warm space for gathering and preparing meals. The living room features brand new couches, a gas fireplace and a smart TV with a DVD player. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the appliances and utensils required to prepare just about any meal. There is a good sized dining table as well.
BEDROOMS / BATHROOMS
The downstairs bedroom features 2 brand new twin beds and has access directly to the downstairs full bath. This full bath has a tub/shower combo. The bedroom also has a ceiling fan.
The upstairs bedroom features a new Queen sized bed and has direct access to the upstairs full bath. This full bath has a tub / shower combo as well. The bedroom also has a TV, DVD player and a desk / workspace. This is the larger bedroom in the house. It also has a ceiling fan.
The loft area at the top of the stairs features 2 new twin beds. There is a ceiling fan in this room and access to the upstairs full bath. NOTE: This is not an enclosed bedroom. It has open access to the stairs and therefore has limited privacy.
OUTSIDE
The large back porch features a large hot tub that provides plenty of heat even in the coldest temperatures. There are several rocking chairs and we have several hooks for the supplied hot tub towels. The views off the back porch are stunning!
The front porch has rocking chairs and a small table.
Pets (dogs only) are welcome and we have a good size dog pen and a doghouse if you need to leave your pet outside for a while without worrying about it running away.
There is a large fire-pit with chairs. Wood is NOT supplied but is readily available in the area.
During your stay you will have access to the entire property.
This is a fairly remote location but there are other houses in the area. The road to the cabin is somewhat steep and is not paved. 4 Wheel drive is recommended all year and required in winter months.
Your own car is a necessity.,
A security camera covers the outside driveway area.

We have enjoyed 3 days of stay; hut tub was very helpful for refresh after the trails, had all the facilities, rooms were so clean, and the wooden panels, beams and the antiques give a nice mountain cabin looks!
This is a fantastic cabin to stay in. It is clean, well appointed and beautiful. The hot tub is big clean and quiet. The kitchen is pretty stocked for your cooking needs and the location is great!
What a lovely cabin. It was a nice relaxing weekend. The snow canopy road to and from was beautiful when it snowed. Its a lil bit of a drive. Coming and going to town, But a wonderful spot to chilax. Would recommend it to anyone and definitely would go back!
Our family stayed here for our annual getaway and so glad we found this place! Limited views from the cabin itself, but you have plenty of opportunities to see the beautiful views on the drive in. We hiked Elk Knob (10 min trip), explored Banner Elk & Boone. The hot tub was perfect! And we enjoyed visits from the sweet hound next door, Asta. Highly recommend staying here if you enjoy the beautiful craftsmanship of a cabin, solidarity, and quality time with your loved ones.
Very Nice.... Extremely Quiet... Hot Tub and Views from the hot tub were amazing. Saw a few deer from the back porch, enjoyed a little hike in the backyard. Very safe and Clean!!
We had a great experience with this cabin. It was just the right size for two couples and was extremely well-appointed for cooking and general needs. It was overall just very thoughtful and welcoming. We did not bring a dog, but appreciated how clean everything was for being a dog-friendly cabin. Speaking of clean, I generally avoid hot tubs at rentals, but this one was so well-maintained that we had to use it. The neighborhood dogs were a lot fun as well. Would absolutely stay here again.
The house, location and host exceeded every expectation for our group of 5 adults and 2 dogs. Our host was always quick to respond and accommodating before and during our stay.
The house was incredibly clean upon arrival and more spacious than the photos suggested. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook most meals during our stay, the hot-tub large and clean, the living and bed rooms had comfortable furniture and were cozy - just like you want it in the mountains.
The front and back porch were great for corralling our dogs when needed and offered some terrific sunset views.
The house was ~25minute drive to downtown Boone and ~30minutes to Banner Elk - both of which had great breweries/wineries/restaurants/shops to explore.
We also hiked Elk Knob State Park which was just ~10 minutes drive from the house and offered great trails (1.9miles to summit).
Be mindful that the last ~1.5miles leading to the house have very windy roads and would encourage 4WD during the winter months.
10/10 stay - will be coming back!
Host was very communicative, and the property was exactly as advertised. Cabin was very clean and we did not have any issues with check in or check out.
Such a great spot! Definitely a dog-friendly place, but spotless. The kitchen and home had everything we needed for our stay and we enjoyed spending most of our time at the cabin. The hot tub was lovely (holds its temperature very well) and we enjoyed the views. There is a neighbor close by, but you can definitely still experience privacy. It was not an issue for us. We loved the gated porch, so our dogs could enjoy outside with us. And we also really enjoyed the neighborhood welcoming committee (Achilles and Asta) who liked to come around a few times a day for some belly rubs and treats. We travel to the area frequently and this is one of the better cabins we’ve stayed in. Would book again, 100%.
Great cabin, very well stocked, hot tub is covered, area is quiet.
To those that complain about another property nearby, get over it, or build your own in the middle of nowhere.
You can tell this cabin has been here for awhile and someone else bought land next to them, cleared it and built a house. That’s life sometimes. I do like to be secluded when I go to the mountains, but this other property didn’t detract from my experience at all and there was no one in it anyway.
I would stay at this house again.
Overall this was a great cabin to spend the weekend in. It's about 20-30 minutes from downtown Boone. 20 when the weather is better. There is a house next door but we never saw anybody and the hot tub is positioned in a way that its private. The only reason this isn't a 5 star top notch cabin is the road approaching it is dicey. Now admittedly, the listing mentioned the road condition and recommended a 4WD vehicle but on our weekend, there was still ice (originally snoiw) on the road and a couple of bends I wasn't sure we would make it. The nice thing is you can come in one way (from meatcamp) and leave the other (421) and each is an easier drive, respectively. Only other thing is the TV was limited so remember to bring streaming passwords. Other than that, it was a great cabin and I would stay there again.
Our family really enjoyed staying here! Loved how it was decorated and it felt cozy . It was relaxing to sit in living room with the fireplace on. The kitchen was fully stocked with the things you needed to cook and the charcoal grill was used. The hot tub and hammock were awesome too! Overall great location. We’d like to come back when the leaves fall off trees to see the view from back porch. There was a close neighbor but, it was quiet and peaceful.
We really enjoyed staying at this property, there were only 2 of us and our dog but the cabin has many beds and an enormous hot tub so it would be perfect for a family and the weather in the mountains is amazing in the summer months so don’t be afraid that the place doesn’t have AC. I will say that the pictures of the place don’t show a neighbor that’s right next door and the grassy shot in the front of the house is a very steep hill and isn’t reasonably usable which we were hoping to use for the dog. But overall an amazing place to stay!
