luxurious A-frame log cabin provides a private rustic experience

Blue Ridge Parkway and North Carolina Mountains.
The 4000 foot altitude ensures spectacular fall colors, beautiful
spring wild flowers, cool breezes throughout the summer and a cozy
fireplace to warm you through the winter.
If you want to feel totally private and isolated just stay on the
large deck surrounded by the woods or in the great room with it's
lofted ceiling and wall of glass.
The cabin offers two bedrooms with full beds, a full bath, laundry,
and large great room with fireplace and fully equipped kitchen all
on the main floor. We also offer a landline with free long distance
as well as DirectTV on our 54in. Samsung Smart TV in the great room.
Upstairs there is a large loft bedroom with 2 queen beds as well as a tv with DirectTV.
We are just minutes from Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls,
Linville Gorge and Linville Caverns.
Nearby mountain communities such as Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Beech
Mountain, Valle Crusis and Boone offer a wide variety of food, shopping
and numerous festivals. Five Golf Courses and Four Ski Resorts within
twenty minutes offer downhill skiing, tubing, sledding, snowboarding
and ice skating.Gingercake offers miles of pathways and winding
roads for walking and biking.

Great spot in the woods

Relaxing mornings waking up, making coffee, sitting on the porch and listening to the birds. Fire pit was a great place to tell jokes and hang out. And the hikes nearby were all amazing. Everything we needed out a cabin

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin has great potential, however the bathroom downstairs needs to be updated. I will say, there’s great water pressure in the shower. The kitchen lights didn’t work over the sink. Would I stay there again? Yes I would.

Great mountain location, needs additional management

It was a great location, with a lot of space. The linens did not seem fresh, towels were not in any restrooms (we had to search and find them in the laundry room). It was a great space, just needs to be cleaned/managed better to justify cost.

Absolutely perfect!!!

Just book this if you are visiting the area. It's nice and secluded but so close to all the attractions such as grandfather mountain, blowing rock, linville caverns and linville falls. This cabin is well maintained and does have Wi-Fi as there is no cell service you can use Wi-Fi calling or a home phone is provided. Victoria was super nice. Can't ask for a better cabin for the size, amenities, and the price. We have already decided that for future trips we will be coming here.

Felt like visiting family..

Enjoyed the stay, very comfortable. Everything that you might need was in the place. The only issue was the main TV downstairs has a sound bar that could not be turned down, no matter what we did. The mute buttom on the remotes did not work.

Beautiful, peaceful and lovely setting

We kept marveling about the lush plants around this cabin. The first several days were sunny and pleasant and we spent the days on the deck. The cabin itself has dark wood paneling and leans toward having to leave lights on just to see where you’re walking. Furnishings are somewhat antique like the old sewing machine cabinet serves as a lamp table! Heat works extremely well as does hot water. We were very satisfied with the Jonas Ridge cabin

Our Linville trip

WR very much enjoyed our stay at "the last slice" cabin in Newland, NC. We booked from a Thursday to Monday, and even though it rained the first day, we were comfortable and cozy. There were board games to play and movies to watch, so we weren't bored. The beds were comfortable and the loft was great for the kids, 13, 11, 10. There's direct TV so we were able to watch some football on Sunday which was great! We cooked alot and the kitchen had all the dishes we needed. We also enjoyed the grill and large deck. Somehow we got a fire going in the firepit after the rain cleared. There were a few dry logs covered for us to use. All in all a great trip, quiet spot in a great neighborhood! We will be back!

Good cabin in the woods

My family and I had a good time at the cabin. The driveway is hard to find in the dark, GPS was no help. We had a lot of space to sleep for us all on the comfy beds. The kids had fun playing outside and relaxing in the hammocks. Loved the gas fireplace and wood throughout. The downside our family noticed is a lot of spiderwebs everywhere, along with a large spider we had to get out. We would recomend getting an outdoor heater for the porch/deck. Also a large nonstick pan would be appreciated. The service there is awful, our cellphone service on 5 different phones would not work at the cabin. (We could not get the tv to work with all the remotes and could not call or text the owners due to lack of service.) We would stay again, but bring raid and plan on having no cellphone service. :)

Charming, but had issues. Enjoyed our time in the area.

We loved the beautiful area and hiking opportunities. The property was charming, but had issues. The beds were the cleanest of the home. The toaster oven was not clean. There were crumbs in the kitchen cabinets. There were cobwebs on the bedroom ceilings. There was a used toothbrush cup in the bathroom. There was a shower scrunchy with a long black hair in the shower. I emptied a dishwasher full of clean dishes before we used it and folded a dryer of clean laundry before using. I texted the host at 409pm 6/28/25 to inform that I folded the dryer laundry and left some clean kitchen items from the dishwasher on the kitchen counter. I did not know where some of the items went. I never heard back, and the text on my end was sent without issues. We left the night before checkout to check on an elderly relative. If you want to unplug, there is very slow internet service and we had no cell service. I texted from my iPad, and it was sent. Everyone we texted from our iPad received, so I feel like my message to the host was likely received. We followed all checkout instructions. We took our trash with us as instructed.

Beautiful Setting, but Cabin Was Not Clean or Well-MaintainedBeautiful Area, Some Cabin Issues

The location of this cabin is excellent—quiet, wooded, and close to some of the best hiking and mountain attractions in the area. The neighborhood is peaceful, and check-in was straightforward. The owners were communicative and tried to assist when problems came up.However, the cabin itself was a disappointment. While the beds were made and linens were clean, the overall cleanliness of the cabin was poor. There was dust and cobwebs on walls, light fixtures, shelves, and other surfaces throughout the cabin. The kitchen dishes were dusty and several bowls contained dead bugs. Every dish, pot, pan, and utensil had to be washed before use. Additionally, the outdoor deck was dirty and covered in debris, and there were cigarette butts left in ashtrays on the deck and scattered around the yard.The gas fireplace did not work during our stay. The owners responded quickly and attempted to help us troubleshoot the issue, but it turned out to be a problem that only the gas company could fix. Unfortunately, that meant no working fireplace for the duration of our trip, which was disappointing given the cool weather.All that said, this cabin has potential, but the state of cleanliness detracted from our experience.

Quiet getaway for the family

This was our third trip to this cabin, and it did not disappoint. We like the wide open spaces for our family to gather together inside or outside. The hosts are always quick to respond if we need to reach them for any reason. We usually go in the early spring, but I am glad we waited a little longer this year to allow the flowers and trees to bloom, because it is a beautiful area.
