Rustic Retreat on Private 5 acres with Trout Stream

For everyone who has ever looked for a chink-log cabin in the woods - You have found it! This 5 bedroom, 3 bath cabin sits perfectly on a private 5 acres overlooking Howards Creek. This property is perfect for all age groups.

From the time you turn off Hwy 194 (only 3 miles to ASU) onto the private bridge over Howards Creek, the property becomes a tranquil retreat and yet so close to town.

You will notice the rock wall backdrop as you drive up the driveway (Plenty of room for several vehicles). As you enter the cabin there is a screened porch with a sectional as well as a gas grill that is permanently connected to a gas line (no need to change out tanks) and a gas burning fireplace. It is cozy with a 4-person high-top table and hanging low-lit lighting for any time of the day.

The cabin is well equipped with a large kitchen to include all items needed for family meals as well as a dining room that sits 8 adults comfortably. The kitchen has been updated with new appliances and is fully stocked for your needs. The living room has a gas burning fireplace so no need to cut wood. The staircase, mantel and most furniture have been custom made by a local artist.

On the main level there are 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Bedroom 1 has a king size custom bed with new mattress. There is a full bathroom in this suite and is decorated in a deer theme. Bedroom 2 (also on main level) has a queen custom made cedar bed and is decorated in a bear theme.
As you make your way up the staircase, you will find 3 more bedrooms as well as a full bathroom with tile shower. Ready for some fun - Upstairs boasts a game room to include a pool table, ping-pong table, Pac-Man video game and 9 foot shuffle-board game.

The front porch sits facing Howards Creek and you can often see deer or other forest animals roaming the property. You will find custom made cedar rockers on the front porch and the private 7 person hot-tub which is located under a gazabo and offers mood lighting.

Private hiking trails over the 5-acres and along the stocked trout stream offer 2 fire pits (1 at the home and 1 by the stream).
Furry Friends are welcome with deposit only. Please email and have all pets accounted for prior to renting.

Great for a relaxing week away. Very close to Boone, with fantastic cleanliness and amenities. We only had to call the host once when we arrived with a WiFi issue and she picked up immediately and got us sorted in minutes. Very happy, and would stay again.

COOL Summer Trip in Boone

This property may be better than advertised. It is in a great location just a few miles outside of Boone. Close enough to be back into town in minutes but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Plenty of space for multiple people to sleep and also space to gather in dining area and living room. Would recommend this property to any medium to large group.

Beautiful mountain cabin

This cabin was perfect for our family trip to the mountains. We enjoyed fishing and playing in the creek located on the property. The kitchen had all the cookware needed for making family dinners. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the week we spent here and would definitely book again.

Grown up time

Finally found time to get all the kids together in one place…….and the cabin was a perfect fit for our family. Fully stocked pantry, huge table for us to gather for dinner and games,a pool table that got plenty of use and a great hot tub. Plenty of room for 7 adults and a great hub for our daily outings. Tammy was easy to reach and helpful before and during our trip. A good time was had by all!

Quiet getaway in Boone!

My family of 5 and our dog enjoyed the expansive property & cozy cabin! Hiking, family game nights & jacuzzi time were exactly what we needed! This cabin & acreage are minutes from everything but far enough away to be peaceful & quiet.
