You’ll have access to the entire tiny cabin, huge deck and twenty acres to explore. Our property is meant to be a place of refuge and retreat from the normal day to day hustle. While you’re here make sure that you spend time around the fire pit, swing in the hanging egg chairs and make your way through the trails throughout the property.

You’ll also have access to the two acre, spring fed private pond at the bottom of the mountain. It’s perfect for that late afternoon picnic or pond side lounge or leisurely fishing. Make your way up the stream to the top of the spring and find that the water comes right up out of the ground.

The main deck between the large cabin and the tiny cabin is a shared space. The larger cabin may or may not be in use during your stay.

This cabin sits on 20 acres off of a private gravel road immediately off of 321 in Blowing Rock. We don’t have many neighbors, but the ones that we do are very friendly and you’ll likely see them driving by as they come and go throughout the day. Kate’s cabin sits at the very top of the only road in and out of the community, so please be sure that you do not block the road in any way that might impede our neighbors from getting by.

Highway 321 will be cleared appropriately in winter months. As for the road off of 321 to this cabin, it is paved but in the event of inclement weather - 4WD or AWD is suggested in winter months.

While the road to the house does melt quickly, it can be tricky with snow.

If you’re headed further into the High Country, we’d encourage you to take a drive. We highly recommend taking the longer route on the Blue Ridge Parkway to get from where you are to where you’re going. If you’re looking for another scenic route, be sure to take Shull’s Mill road if you’re headed toward Banner Elk or Valle Crucis.

Please park in the dedicated parking spot for Kate’s Cabin, as indicated by a sign on the light post.

This property is a historical landmark in the Blowing Rock community and was once home to the Moses Cone apple orchard. The main house was originally the Orchard’s caretaker’s cottage and this cabin was formerly a studio for a well known High Country artist.

There is plenty to do in and around the property and we encourage you to stroll down the private road past the cabin and main house as well as the 4x4 road down the mountain, across the road from the main driveway (please do not attempt to drive down the mountain on the asphalt path unless your vehicle is equipped with four wheel drive (we’re not responsible for any stuck or damaged vehicles that may come from driving down to the pond)). It is VERY steep…perhaps a hike might be a better fit
