Appalachian log cabin in Leatherwood Mountains with 2 bdrms + loft, Views

We had a great relaxing weekend. All instructions were sent before our arrival and everything went smoothly! It is a nice quiet retreat, perfect for a little reset!

The cabin was great. Enjoyed the hot tub. The king size bed was so comfortable.

We booked this stay for Thursday-Sunday for myself, my husband, and our son. Upon arrival-the cabin was very nice. We did have trouble getting into the gate, I finally was able to connect to WiFi and find the gate code buried in a message. My own mistake for not reading more carefully before we got there. The listing shows pictures of the basement area, however this section was locked for us. Not a huge deal, but something that is a bit misleading in the photos. We noticed when we got there that some of the windows were missing screens. We only noticed because the screens were stacked against the wall of the screened in porch-but we didn’t think much of it. Friday night the temps dropped and that’s when we discovered an issue with this. Every window that was missing a screen had stink bugs working their way in. We spent the rest of our time in the cabin trying to get rid of them. I messaged the property owner Friday night (after 10, so I didn’t expect a response that same night). I never heard back from her. We checked out Sunday morning and never got anything either in response or regarding check out procedures. Things happen that are outside of the owner’s control sometimes and I would typically be forgiving on something like this-but when you don’t respond at all, that changes things. It was a peak weekend and most things were booked up or had a highly inflated price-so we toughed it out. But had we had another option, we would have stayed elsewhere Saturday night.

This home was great for my son’s 13th birthday. He wanted mountain getaway and that’s just what we did!

This home is in a wonderful gated community. Real mountain feel. FYI, some steep parts driving up and the driveways itself, so keep that in mind during colder months and especially depending what kind of car you have. Unfortunately upon entering we were met with a strong urine odor. We discovered that a septic room in the basement was overflowing into the floor. There were bugs all over the floor along the edges of the septic closet. We informed the owner, and were told they would have someone come out. The issue of the smell persisted. It put a damper on the weekend and if I had been given advanced warning or the option to leave I would have. Additionally the couches are a little musty. The hot tub has seen better days. Replacing the headrests would be nice.

When we checked in their was 100 worms crawling/dead on the floor in the basement. We left to go out. The owner sent the cleaner back to vacuum. Their were still worms crawling and the carpet was so filthy as if dogs have peed/pooped everywhere. The owner said the worms are expected at leather mountains. Lets be clear this cabin is not inside leather mountauns resort. I met so many people that were staying there and i asked if they had the worms as the owner had told me. They all were shocked and said no but that they would hire terminix to rid of any issues so that let me know that the owner does not upkeep this residence. I solemnly rented this cabin for the gameroom for my 6 year old son and it was ruined for him bc it was infested with worms. We stayed gone the whole trip from the cabin basically. It says no smoking but the cabin smelled of smoke. I let the owner know all this then she eventually stop responding to my text. The living room chair is broken and very uncomfortable. A board was under the cushions. Then when we went to bed we slept in the loft. The highest room up for fear of the worms climbing up. The bed frame was broken. The bed sunk in in the middle. Everytime you moved in the bed you could hear the board hitting the floor. I was to afraid to look under it to see what was going on with the bed. They had so much stuff under the bed to hold it up so I assume they knew of the bed being broken. We were so glad to leave this place. We left at 8am.

Upon check in, we were expecting to use the gas fireplace and relax with friends on a long awaited vacation. We further inspected the gas fireplace and gas tank to discover the tank was empty. So the entire stay (cool weather mind you) we couldn't use the fireplace. We were told by the owners basically nothing could be done. The cleaning crew could have done a better job before our stay. Lots of dirty windows and hand prints on glass doors. We didn't use the hot tub the first night and we're glad we didn't. It was dirty with leaves and debris floating around. The cabin was rustic and authentic. The area was beautiful. We would suggest however looking at some of the door knobs for problems. The furniture was a little dated and uncomfortable. We will not stay here again.

We have staying in Leatherwood. This house had really nice porch areas and great views!

The cabin was nice, but the hotub needed a new filter. There was debris after we turned the bubbles on and no chlorine in the water. Overall we loved the cabin, they have everything you need there. We had trouble getting in the gate, we were only sent a door code and couldnt get back on the site to contact the property manager. There is no cell service here, eventually we able to use wifi... beautiful place, beautiful view, nice quiet getaway... we will be back!!

If your coming to Boon or Wilkesboro to relax this is the place to stay. A very well-stocked cabin, and a great place to get away from it all. We came up for Merlfest and this was a perfect retreat from festival life. The views were breathtaking and you might even get a peek of a ton of stars at night. Can't wait to come back on our next adventure to the area.
