About this property

Authentic Private Log Cabin! Hot Tub, Views, Internet, Fireplace, Air Condition

You're going to love our brand new King and Queen beds!
In search of a beautiful, quiet mountain log cabin, private yet close to everything? You will find all this and more waiting just 'Around the Bend'.

Around the Bend Cabin, constructed with authentic western red cedar logs, features cathedral ceilings and a stone fireplace inside, and a wrap-around porch to take in the view of the surrounding mountains & woods. Sharing a private road with only two other cabins, (only 1 can be seen) the prime Valle Crucis location is just minutes from most attractions.

Our sunny cabin features three bedrooms plus a children’s loft and three bathrooms. The master suite, has a king bed and a bathroom with Jacuzzi tub. Children love the loft area, with their own TV, where they can play video games, and watch movies. The main level has two additional bedrooms, one with queen bed and private bath with a walk-in shower; the second bedroom with two twin beds. The third bathroom is located on this level as well.

Step outside onto the wraparound porch, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, or take a moonlight dip in the hot tub. Explore the property's wooded acreage, then relax inside while you snuggle into the sofa and recliners, and enjoy our
SmartTV / HDTV, with hundreds of cable channels and Netflix. Though ours is a Log Cabin, you will find additional TV's, VHS and DVD players as well. Bring your laptops, etc. and love our high speed wireless internet!

The open floor plan of the main level is perfect for family interaction, and the large windows and cathedral ceilings keep our home bright and sunny. There are toys, games, books and videos for the whole family to enjoy. Take the chill off in winter with a crackling fire in the stone fireplace. The cabin is centrally heated as well.

If you enjoy cooking, then you will find our kitchen fully stocked with all modern appliances including a dishwasher. Barbecue all year long, on our gas grill. Our cabin comes with fresh linens, towels and toiletries. Though it's not needed too much in our cool mountain elevation, you may enjoy our central air conditioning on a warm summer day.

When you are ready to leave the comforts of our cozy log cabin, you will find the famous Original Mast General Store less than 2 miles away! Within minutes are Boone, Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railroad, ASU, the Blue Ridge Parkway, four ski resorts and countless other attractions. Conveniently, supermarkets and restaurants are very close. Golfers, bring your clubs; the Willow Valley course is just 1 mile down the road. Fishing is just a short walk or drive to the Watauga River. The wonderful thing about our cabin is the privacy, and yet you are just 3 miles from downtown Boone.

We strive to keep our cabin hypo-allergenic, and do not allow pets or smoking anywhere on the property, sorry. 4WD or chains are recommended only in the winter.

Around the Bend has paved access all the way to the cabin driveway. So come, relax, and experience a little bit of magic...it’s all just “Around the Bend!” ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

BASE RATES: $135 to $185. HOLIDAYS: 4-7 NIGHT MINIMUM unless there is a gap in calendar. For Holidays, large families, or cabin sharing, rates may be higher. SORRY NO PETS/NO SMOKING anywhere on the property. OCTOBER: 7 NIGHT MINIMUM. Christmas and New Year's WEEK, 7 night minimum. Check for 2 NIGHT last minute RESERVATIONS!

Pleasant getaway in the midst of Appalachia

We spent enjoyable 10 days in this cabin.Good Things: Located really close to Boone and all three mountains in the area. The road is private, so almost no traffic at all. Nearby B&B further up the hill also takes care of salt if it freezes over.The property just had some re-carpeting and maintenance done so everything was clean and fresh.Fireplace is real wood, not gas. So rules must be followed, but it definitely adds to the charm. Washer/Dryer are new and cool.Hottub is well-maintained and adds an extra perk, especially on a cold winter night. BBQ gas tank was filled up and ready for use.The nuance:Kitchen equipment (fridge, microwave, dishwasher) and hottub are bit dated but all as shown on pictures, maintained clean, and work fine. TV screens are of a smaller size, however this works great if you are mostly talking and playing board games. Wooden floors on the main floor are extra squeaky, lol, nobody can sneak from the bedroom to the kitchen unnoticed.There are two garbage bins outdoors at the basement, but if you are a family of 5 and staying for over a week you will very likely run out of space in them, as well as out of 5 plastic trash bags provided. Check with the host on this in advance or buy more at Publix/Lowes.Overall it was a pleasant stay. The host was very communicative and helpful. We enjoyed our time. Also a huge wraparound porch is a special perk if you are staying during the warmer months. Everything has to be cosier and inside in winter :)

Mixed feelings.

This home is very nice but we felt it was in need of a “deep” cleaning to rid of dust and mold. The shower/tub didn’t drain so we had to stand in water. The stool was broke so we had to flush by reaching into the water tank. The driveway is a big challenge and unusable if you are on a motorcycle. In a car you can’t pull in without using the neighbors property. Not good. The deck was GREAT so every evening we enjoyed being outside listening to the sounds of summer.

Best buddy

Cabin was perfect. Stocked with all your needed items. However, I do have a few suggestions, not complaints. The small railing going up main outside stairs should be secured with bolts. Decks need cleaning and restained. Windows outside need washing. The tv needs to be simpler to use. These are just suggestions. Many thanks Your best buddy

Beautiful and relaxing!

This cabin was perfect for a mountain getaway; cozy but plenty of space, secluded but conveniently located. The hot tub on the porch was dreamy after long hikes! Will definitely book again on our next trip to Boone.

Quiet mountain hideaway

The property was exactly as described in the listing. The cabin isn't very large but was quite comfortable for our family. Having 3 full baths for 3 bedrooms was quite nice. It's somewhat secluded but still convenient to restaurants and shops in Boone & Banner Elk. Despite very rainy weather we enjoyed our stay !

Ski vacation

This was our first time as a family to North Carolina for a ski trip. The house was 25 minutes away from Sugar Mountain, nestled in a very quiet neighborhood on a mountain, and just as advertised. It was a perfect little home away from home! The kids enjoyed the fireplace and the Jacuzzi. The owner was very quick to respond to any question.

Perfect Getaway!

This cabin was a great location. Very quiet and private. Very relaxing watching the birds feed on the porch feeders every morning while having coffee. The hot tub was a perfect end to each day of hiking nearby. The host provides all the information you need and very responsive to questions. We wish we had booked a full week's stay. Will definately return.

Great Stay Needs Care

We had a great stay at the cabin. One we will cherish forever! The views are stunning. Being at the top of the tree line was great! The hot tub has a beautiful view, so relaxing, just what we were looking for. This cabin could have easily been a 10 experience. However, there were a few issues. The steps up to the cabin are difficult and not advertised. Coming down the steps it is easy to clip a heel behind you, diagonally is the best way to go. The kitchen needs a new set of pots and pans and new cooking utensils. It was very difficult to cook with only 2 halfway decent pots and pans. The kitchen needs a proper deep clean as well as the cabin needing a deep dust. All that said, we were very grateful for our stay.

Cute cabin in the woods!

The beds were so comfy. Hot tub was awesome! Kitchen very well stocked. Plenty of extra towels. Host was great. It was rainy and cold on one of the days so we decided to stay in for the day but we were somewhat disappointed with the outdated electronics. The house has 4 TV’s, 2 of which are 13” tube TV’s, a 15” flat screen in the Master bedroom and the living room TV might be 21”. House was clean at the surface level but needs a good thorough spring cleaning. Overall very happy with our stay and would stay again!
