About this property

Wil-deer-ness Cabin- Secluded-Firepit-Hot Tub-WiFi-Dog Friendly

Due to downed trees and debris from Hurricane Helene and the winter ice storms, the private river access area at the cabin will not be available until further notice. The blue ridge parkway also remains closed in most areas for cleanup efforts due to downed trees.

Are you looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life? Why not escape into the Wil-deer-ness! This secluded log cabin nestled on 2 wooded acres, off a private road, is located just minutes from the towns of West Jefferson and Boone in the North Carolina mountains. This cozy, two bedroom, two bath cabin which sleeps up to four people, comes fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing, peaceful and memorable vacation. The cabin is fully furnished, linens included, all kitchenware provided and offers lots of activities. Relax on the covered wrap-around porch, surf the internet, watch a DVD from the DVD library or catch your favorite streaming TV shows from the Roku devices on each LCD TV. Lounge in the outdoor Jacuzzi Hot Tub, read a book in the hammock (seasonal), enjoy a friendly game of horseshoes or make s'mores and tell stories around the fire pit.

There are plenty of local attractions to keep you busy when you go out for the day. You'll discover many fine restaurants, championship golf courses, winter ski resorts, antique and craft shops and many cultural events. You can go fishing, canoeing or tubing on the New River or visit Mt. Jefferson State Park. Other attractions include Grandfather Mountain, Blue Ridge Parkway, Tweestie Railroad, Mast General Store in Valle Cruis, Linville Caverns, VA Creeper Trail and much more! Wil-deer-ness cabin is also conveniently located near the Tennessee-Virginia border. So no matter where you're from, if you're looking for a quiet, secluded, romantic getaway, a nice family vacation, or just to get a million miles away from everyday life, then you need to escape to Wil-deer-ness Cabin!

Cozy little cabin
Me and my husband had a wonderful weekend stay at this cozy cabin. Everything was clean and perfectly labeled so we had no questions on how anything worked. The hot tub was a perfect addition to the stay. We enjoyed the quiet location away from any close neighbors. Was a short distance from West Jefferson where we shopped the stores in town. Will definitely come back again with our kids so they can enjoy all the cabin has to offer

They thought of everything!
What a beautiful cabin! Amazing and attentive hosts really thought of everything to make this secluded rental just perfect for a getaway. Relaxing hotub evenings under the stars, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit, and Bluetooth speakers in every room. This cute little place is perfect. We will be staying here again for our next getaway.

Perfect weekend getaway
The owners of this place got it right. They seem to have thought of everything needed to just stay put and enjoy the peace with privacy. The details of the listing are spot on. We really enjoyed the hot tub and had a fun time playing horseshoes while the fire got going. There are so many awesome movies to pick from too. It’s a bonus that it’s so close to West Jefferson where the shops are cute and the people are all so very nice. We will definitely be coming back here.

Nice cozy secluded cabin
We spent 2 days and nights at the cabin. It was a last minute getaway for my wife’s birthday. I messaged the host to check availability and got an instant response, booked the cabin and had a great experience. Owner answered all my questions and concerns. We arrived to find everything as pictured in the listing. The owner even had left a birthday gift for my wife. Cabin was clean and comfortable and met all our needs. Bed was comfortable and the hot tub was great. Thank you for sharing your home

The perfect tranquil getaway
Our stay superseded any expectations. This property is definitely a hidden gem. The peaceful and secluded location was the perfect escape from my hectic life. The cabin design was more than comfortable and the decor was whimsical yet very tasteful. Stepping out onto the covered wrap around deck was a delight as we saw many deer making their way through the woods. The strategic placing of fun woodland creatures throughout the property made my partner and I laugh (2 different bears, a squirrel and I believe a groundhog?). If it weren't for the extreme cold temps (thermometer outside was reading around 14 degrees during the day and 2 degrees at night), we would have been able to explore a little more around the property. However, the weather made it a perfect excuse to stay warm inside with the fireplace going and a nice glass of wine.The owners, Michael and Donetta, were easy to communicate with to ensure a smooth check in and check out. Small details like providing doggie bowls, baggies and treats were a perfect and thoughtful touch.I highly recommend this cozy wilderness getaway to anyone looking to get away from the everyday grind.

Not even sure…
Not sure how to review. Our stay was excellent and we loved the cabin. Has everything you need to enjoy a weekend away. We had already started thinking about returning next year. Then we got home and received an email that we were being fined for leaving dog poop around the property without having permission to have a dog - we do not own a dog, and certainly didn’t have one with us. When I informed the host of this, they then claimed we broke a paper towel holder. We followed all of their check-out directions and left the house the same way we left it; we did not break anything or bring a dog. I’m hoping this is an isolated incident, as the majority of the other reviews are positive. We are normal people who respect the property of others. On a positive note, we enjoyed seeing the deer every morning. A short drive into West Jefferson got us a lovely lunch at Sweet and Savory, which I highly recommend. There is also a beautiful children’s library if you have little ones. Downtown Lansing was hit hard by Helene, but the Molly Chomper Cidery is fantastic. We also recommend the amazing public playground in Blowing Rock.

What a wonderful place this is. You can lose yourself and find yourself all at the same time. The quietness (if you allow yourself to listen for it) is amazing. The perfect get-away indeed! Can't wait to return when we have a little less to do so we can slip away even more into the serenity.

About the host

Hosted by Michael & Donetta

Host profile image
Think of what you want your vacation to be like and make it happen. That's what we did with Wil-deer-ness Cabin. We're always striving to make it the best it can be and are actively involved with our cabin. We manage the cabin completely on our own which means you and the cabin get our personal attention. Many rentals are managed through management companies which have so many properties they can't give the time and attention that's deserved to each property. Those owners might make it to their property once a year, if that. And we all know, no one is going to take pride in and give extra care to a property the way the owner will. That's why we handle everything from advertising, to bookings, to maintenance and follow-up on our own. We don't want to trust someone else to make our cabin great, we want to know it is firsthand. We are there personally at least once a month between guests to make sure everything is in good working order. We listen to our guests. We always ask for feedback after every stay and take your suggestions seriously. We have implemented many guest recommendations over the years which is why our guests return over and over again. We feel vacations should be a time to make family memories, give your relationship an extra spark, and just relax & unwind. At Wil-deer-ness Cabin you can do just that...we take care of everything else!

Why they chose this property

We are originally from a small mountain town and fell in love with West Jefferson. We wanted to offer a beautiful cabin to others at a reasonable price and great value. When vacationing ourselves, we love our privacy which is the main reason we chose the location we did for Wil-deer-ness Cabin. It's close enough to town for restaurants and activities if you want to venture out. But if you want to be completely surrounded by nature and never leave the cabin your entire stay you'll be perfectly happy here.

What makes this property unique

We have stayed at vacation rentals in various areas ourselves and learned from those experiences. Like everyone, we hate packing for vacation and almost always leave something behind. At Wil-deer-ness Cabin, we provide all the bedding, linens & paper products so you don't have to worry about them. A hair dryer is provided so that's one less thing to pack. Plan to arrive late but can't survive without your morning coffee? We provide complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate & more so you have some supplies to carry you over until you can make a grocery store run. What about rainy days? A lot of places may have outdoor activities but if you're stuck inside it's boring. Not at Wil-deer-ness Cabin! We have a full game chest, over 100 DVDs in the DVD library, and Roku streaming devices on each TV. You can even enjoy the porch in the rain since it's covered. The porch is also large enough you can set up the provided bean bag toss game on it and still enjoy an outdoor activity even in the rain. A lot of cabins advertise privacy & we deliver it! There's nothing but trees completely surrounding the cabin. When the leaves are on the trees you can't even see the gravel road you entered on in front of the cabin. The peace & quiet here is unbelievable. Don't take our word for it though, read through our reviews both here and on our website to see what our past guests had to say. Then contact us to book your stay at Wil-deer-ness...you won't be disappointed!
