Property Description
Some mountain cabins feel like rentals. This one feels like the mountain getaway everyone hopes they booked. Located in Vilas near the Valle Crucis community and just 10 minutes to downtown Boone and Appalachian State, this classic log cabin delivers the ideal balance of convenience, charm and adventure. Spend the day outdoors biking, hiking and exploring. Come home to mountain views, a hot tub under the stars, a firepit and a pool table waiting downstairs. It's no surprise this property continues to stand out as a successful short term rental, averaging gross income in the low to mid $50s annually even as the broader STR market has softened. Guests love the easy access, authentic cabin feel, and central location close to everything the High Country has to offer. The layout comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests with a third floor king suite, two additional bedrooms on the main level, a loft with sofa bed, and a separate bunk sleeping area downstairs. Three full bathrooms across all three levels make hosting family and friends easy. And if you've spent much time looking at mountain cabins, you already know how valuable this is: plenty of parking and easy year round access. No terrifying driveway stories necessary. Fully furnished and turnkey, this is the kind of property that works equally well as an investment, second home, or future full time mountain escape.
