About this property

Gingercake Acres- Now with A/C! Next to Linville Gorge Wilderness. Dog friendly!

Now with Air Conditioning!
That place where you go to truly relax. Rustic and cozy antique hand-hewn log cabin up a winding single lane gravel road at an elevation of approximately 4000 FT in the quaint and beautifully remote mountain community of Gingercake Acres.

Breathe deeply. Sit. Listen to the quiet. Read. Take an epic hike. Nap peacefully. Fire up the charcoal grill and have a fabulous summer supper on the screened porch. Perfect your s'mores at the fire pit. Stargaze.

Make your own memories. Our family certainly has.

Main level open living/dining/kitchen with Grandfather stone fireplace and gas logs, den with futon for extra sleeping, and half bath. Queen and twin bedrooms, full bath with tub/shower combo, and laundry are downstairs on lower level.

Stroll the rhododendron and mountain laurel-lined neighborhood roads. Or hike forever and never run out of trails! You are literally right beside the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area. Get the free LGmaps trail app on your phone. You have probably heard of Sitting Bear, Hawks Bill and Table Rock. If not, you should...

Bring your dog(s). They love to hike, too! No pet fee. Small children will need supervision. No more than 4 adults, please.

Basic Roku channels and Netflix on TV with no cable. Sketchy cell service only - use wifi setting on phone for calls. Texts may be more reliable. This is a remote rural mountain location - internet is great until it's not. Outages happen and AT&T repair service is slow.

Please note: Gingercake pool is not available to guests.

Beauty

This cabin and its location are beautiful. When I get out of the car, I'm struck with silence. No noise, just the sound of falling leaves. And the smell of the woods.

Hiker's Paradise

We love to hike and this cabin is in the middle of great hiking. The spectacular view from the balcony is Grandfather Mtn; one of favorite places to hike. The cabin had everything we wanted after a rigorous day. We enjoyed watching hummingbirds from the deck and the cozy fireplace. The sunrises in the mornings were amazing. We like to cook at home and the kitchen had everything we needed. After a week we felt like it was home.

Beautiful!

I've stayed at this cabin several times. I walked into the cabin and the room was flooded with gold -- from a grove of Sasafras trees off the deck, the leaves were bright yellow. Like magic!

2nd Visit to This Charming Cabin

We had another great stay at this cabin. We were in the middle of a two week trip to the area, after several nights in Blowing Rock we spent 4 nights at this cabin. We loved the peace and quiet. The cabin had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and we had all our meals at the cabin. We loved the screened porch dining area. We spent our days relaxing at the cabin, going for long walks, and enjoying each other's company. Once again, at the end of our stay we were reluctant to leave. The only issue with this cabin that someone might need to take into consideration is that the bedrooms and full bathroom are downstairs. There is a half bath on the main floor, but the only shower/tub is downstairs. This is not a problem for us, but might be for someone with mobility issues. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of towels, etc. This place is a 10/10 for us, and we look forward to returning for a 3rd visit someday.

It's like camp. That's the best way we can describe it. Years and years of hiking, campfires, cookouts, screened porch dinners, swimming in rivers and creeks and waterfalls, and just hanging out.
