About this property

Secluded Mtn Log Cabin with 100' Waterfall, Pond, and Streams

Two Log Cabins, 6 plus acres, a cascading waterfall, a clear pond, a quiet walk, tall trees, fresh air, a simple moment in time, all wrapped up in the mountain tops of the NC High Country.

The Cabins of Sugar Grove invite you to plan your escape. Our cabins are 2BR/2Bath along with spacious lofts that have high quality futons. We've thought of everything..........

Bring your favorite book or borrow one of ours. Take a walk, take a deep breath, take a minute to remember or to forget......

Spend twilight among the trees, spend an evening under the stars & around a campfire or curl up on a sofa with a blanket and enjoy a movie from our collection.

Only don't miss this moment.

As one of the most secluded and magical cabins of my time, it is with great joy that I announce how successful this weekend was. I truly enjoyed allowing Andy and Kelly to visit, opening my spacious bedrooms, luxorious hot tub, mystical hiking trails, and true peacefulness that comes with quiet solitude. Over the years now, my excitement at seeing these things never tires.

So now, as you step through my front door, I hope you realize what awaits you! From wherever you come, and whatever you left behind....it will be infinitely more difficult to return.'

Our weekend stay at this tremendous cabin was magical! The host had everything we needed and more. We arrived on the property and had no reason to leave for the weekend. It was a place where lots of wonderful memories were made. Highly recommend the hot tub under stars at night!

Great Getaway
The property was amazing, there was a lot of snow, so we didn’t get to do as much exploring as we wanted. But everything was perfect. The cabin was clean and beautiful. They even let us use their sleds. The cabin was very warm, despite the cold temps and heavy winds. We had a great stay. Definitely will be back in the spring/summer. And would like to try skiing again too, close to both Beech and Sugar.

Truly home away from home!
My family and I stayed here for the week after Christmas. I have stayed in a lot of fabulous B&B's, nice hotels, but this cabin was the best. I never longed for any of the comforts of home -- because they are all here! The couch and fireplace were very cozy. Good wifi and Roku apps on the TV. I cooked several nights and every cooking item you might need was available. Having a washer and dryer was super convenient. The hot tub was awesome. The water pressure in the shower was great and the beds were comfortable.I had a couple questions for the owners and they were super responsive and helpful! It even snowed while we were there! Quiet, secluded but only 20-30 from anywhere you want to be! Highly recommend!

Weekend Stay in Banner Elk
We enjoyed our weekend in Banner Elk. The cabin is basically just as photographed. We enjoyed the secluded woodsy feel. We were a bit worried about the conditions of the area after the hurricane, but wanted to be able to give back to the community with some tourists activities. We enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the waterfall, creeks, and pond. We had originally anticipated getting to fish some, but the conditions weren't ideal and and the streams are still very much in recovery. We enjoy WNC and will def be back across the mountain soon.

Great cabin and outdoor adventure
We arrived late but took our time and had no issues because we followed Rebecca's directions. The cabin is clean and comfortable. The cabin had anything needed for staying in to prepare a meal and have fun with games or just watch a movie. During the day we explored the property and it's beautiful! Great place for kids to have adventures and lots of fun! The only negative (which if you like secluded it's great) was the distance to town (about 20 minutes) so go prepared to stay and enjoy all that this property has to offer!

Amazing!
It was an amazing stay for me and my family! With three young children (2-5 years old) there was plenty of adventure to be had just around the property. Location was amazing as well. Far enough where you felt secluded, but right in between Boone and banner elk where you could experience both easily. Definitely recommend!!

Bear claw cabin
Nice quite location, best with AWD vehicle, would be tough in ice and snow. Cabin is nice, great fireplace and the kitchen is well stocked. Could use a light over the stove top. Cabin could use a little basic maintenance but overall a great place to stay.

The mountain trip we were looking for
We made a weekend out of a Friday afternoon visit to Autumn of Oz. We drove the three hours from home in north central NC, went to Mast General Store, ate lunch at the outstanding Puerto Nuevo in Banner Elk, swapped out some books at the Banner Elk Book Exchange, saw the Oz show, and then headed off to the cabin for a weekend of exploring, hot tubbing, showing the granddaughters "Anne of Green Gables" for the first time, and cooking hot dogs and marshmallows out at the fire pit. The cabin was immaculate, full of DVDs and games, and even the grill was in perfect shape (usually a problem area with short term rentals). We lacked nothing for cooking and eating, and the gas fire place took the evening chill off. We weren't sure about the proximity to other cabins, but it was like being alone on the mountain since we could hear or see nothing except the crackle of our fire pit.

We went to the cabin for a ladies get-away weekend (5 of us) and it was perfect! We lounged, sat on the back porch and caught up, hung out in the hot tub, and watched movies from the healthy collection of provided DVDs. A trip to relax and unwind, would be back again for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Bramble

Host profile image
David and I are Raleigh natives that enjoy retreating to the cabins as much as our guests. We are constantly striving to make the cabin more comfortable for family gatherings, fully equipped to entertain friends, and romantic enough for a getaway for the two of us. We are confident that you will fall in love with the property as much as we have!

Why they chose this property

While searching for the perfect cabin for us, I had decided that the Banner Elk area was the setting that I most enjoyed. Close to shopping and dining, but not over done or over-priced like so many nice mountain communities. The realtor showed many a cabin and there was cabin that I had truly liked, but just did not fill the desire that I had created in my mind’s eye.
There was a local “For Sale by Owner” opportunity, but I did not take it seriously because the owner had two cabins and wanted to sell them together. I had settled on one cabin and wanted to buy outright and not take on a mortgage. The gentleman agreed to meet in Sugar Grove at the post office and lead us to his cabins for sale. The first thing that struck me was how the drive up the back side of Valle Mountain was so beautiful. This is starting out on a nice tone, I thought to myself.
We pulled up the driveway and in front of the Treehouse Cabin. Nice setting, clean property, pretty cabin and then I opened the door. The symphony of falling water that welcomed me this early spring day was so overwhelming to me. My immediate thought was I must own this property and I had not even looked inside one of the cabins.
The cabins were in excellent condition and, although in need of a redecorating, provided a strong foundation on which to build. After touring Treehouse, we walked to the waterfall, along the stream, and down to the pond. The topography and natural rolling of the property was food for the soul.
On to the Bearclaw Cabin, where I was shocked to find that it had its own source of natural charm. The separate, gorgeous stream that can be seen from Bearclaw’s back deck provided its own surround sound. You can hear the stream from Bearclaw’s deck 365 days of the year. It is a healthy, vibrant courier of natural mountain water. Little did I know at the time that particular stream would be the source of our favorite family picnic spot, swimming for the kids, as well as fishing.

What makes this property unique

The Bearclaw Cabin is our family’s favorite cabin. While we enjoy the sophistication and romance of Treehouse, Bearclaw has an ease that is unmatched. The openness and closeness of the kitchen, den, and back deck make us feel like we are never far from one another and we enjoy the interaction in this comfortable, relaxing lodging. Once a meal is prepared, be it in the kitchen, on the grill, or over the firepit the transition to the dining table, the coffee table in front of the gorgeous LG flat screen to watch Downton Abby in HD, the table on the back deck to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and listen to the nearby stream, or the wooden table right off the fire pit while a fire roars make many easy options for whatever we find ourselves in the mood for. The sunken hot tub provides a perfect setting to watch the stars, enjoy the snow, or the cool mountain air. We love to make a picnic lunch then head to the stream that is a three minute walk from Bearclaw and enjoy the beauty that nature has provided.
