Welcome to Breathe Easy!

Breathe Easy is a chic log cabin offering rustic elegance with a designer flair in a wonderful mountaintop setting. The home has impressive long-range views including a straight-on view of the famous Grandfather Mountain. Unlike many mountain homes, Breathe Easy has a relaxed, flat yard area around the home with easy parking and turnaround. The home is built with reclaimed barn wood and has fine woodwork, leather furniture, interesting antiques, and designer finishes. The outdoor space features a walkout fire pit and a comfortable sitting area in the front yard with a rocking chair front porch.

Breathe Easy is located just minutes from the famous Mast General Store in scenic Valle Crucis and the Valle Crucis Community Riverfront Park. The home is about 10 minutes from Boone. Close by attractions includes Tweetsie Railroad theme park, Grandfather Mountain, Sugar Mountain Ski Area, Appalachian Ski Mountain, Hawks Nest Zip Line and Snow Tubing, High Gravity Adventures Climbing Park, Wahoo's Whitewater Rafting, and much more.

Breathe Easy is accessed by a steep paved driveway. It is plowed in the wintertime. As with all our homes, 4WD and tire chains are necessary for Winter access to this property. In Summer, the home is accessible with 2WD, but guests should be prepared for a steep climb.

Must be at least 25 years of age to book.

    We loved our stay here! We have three little boys who enjoyed the adventure inside and outside the home. It was a short drive to all that we wanted to do in the area. We will certainly go to this rental again!

    Our stay at Breathe Easy was amazing. The cabin is immaculate and beautifully decorated. The views are amazing endless and the yard has something for everyone. Please take time to read the story of how the cabin came to be- and you will have even more appreciation for this magical place. Thank you, Russell and Christy for sharing what you have built with our family. We can’t wait to come back.

    This place is great! It’s a beautiful house that sits on top of a mountain! The views are breathtaking and the property has a ton of stuff for the kids to play on. There’s a game room with foosball, air hockey, and ping pong. We were there for a week to ski, and it was super easy to get to sugar. About a 20 minute drive. It’s a perfect place for a family of four. We’ll be back!

    It was absolutely magical. It was a beautiful view however the interior of the cabin was just amazing. The work that went into this cabin was meticulous and so well done. We stayed 4 days which wasn’t nearly enough. We hope to return for at least a week. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay and Russell and Christy were amazing.

    I rented the cabin for myself, my daughter and three grandchildren. We absolutely loved it. It was an amazing spot with a beautiful view. We enjoyed much of the time outside. The children enjoyed the treehouse. We had a fire in the fire pit. Wood was available to buy on site. The house was cozy and comfortable. So welcoming when we arrived after a day of travel. We visited area spots, including grandfather, mountain, Tweetsie, and Mast General store. It was wonderful to come home to our cozy place.The basement with all the games, including air hockey, foosball table, and ping-pong was also much appreciated. I certainly hope to visit again.

    Exactly what we needed. Time to disconnect from the world and reconnect as a family. So peaceful to sit and listen to nature. Watched the fog roll through the valley. Home is very comfortable and has everything you could need. Beds are very comfortable. We had a wonderful weekend and plan to come back.

    Terrific place for a family getaway. Outdoor play area and basement games were a huge hit with the kids (5 and 8). Peaceful location close to hiking and a few charming towns.It's worth noting that the upstairs bedroom isn't completely closed off from the downstairs living area, so we upgraded the kids to the master bedroom to help bedtime go smoothly.Definitely would stay again!

    Our family loved this little gem of a cabin! The views are amazing and in a great location to get around the area. The kids particularly loved the tree house and the ping pong table. We didn't feel like we had to schedule many activities because just being at the cabin was enough to keep them busy. We'll be back!

    We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Breath Easy! The cabin is truly perfect, we have 3 young boys, and they had the best time, and I am sure it is a vacation they will remember forever. Every detail is thought out, and the owner is so kind. The location of the cabin is also really nice, with only being a short drive to town. We hope to be back one day!

    If we could give this an extra star we would. We are frequent travelers to the mountains of North Carolina and this is by far the best rental experience we have had. The cabin is beautifully decorated and cozy, the view is stunning, and the location is amazing. Additionally, the owners treat their guests as if they were friends or family. We will definitely be back and we will be recommending this location to our friends. Mnfamily..

    Our family really enjoyed staying at “Breathe Easy” for the Veteran’s Day weekend 2024. It is beautiful inside and out! The cabin was cozy and beautifully decorated, very clean, and fully stocked with cookware, towels, plenty of bedding and blankets. The game area in the basement was an added plus for family fun. The outside had an incredible view of grandfather mountain with a great fire pit. Fire wood available right on the premises was also great. The owners who lived next door were very friendly people and we loved getting to know them. This felt like home away from home and we definitely will be coming back! Thank you for such a beautiful cabin. Jo-Ann & Michael

    A perfect fall trip. We wanted to visit Western NC and contribute a little something after the storms. Town of Boone and Blowing Rock were our most frequent destinations and easy to get to from our cabin. Owners were awesome and Cabin was just incredible. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place

    This was a secluded awesome cabin with few distractions that allowed us to turn down the noise and speed of our lives. It was an ideal setting to rest and renew. We were close enough to Boone, NC to have great options for activities, far enough away to disconnect.The host were awesome. It was an overall great experience.

    It was a perfect cozy cabin with a great view of grandfather mountains. Very steep driveway to get to cabin since it’s on top of its own “hill” my little car did great… however if you are there during winter months the driveway could get tricky. Quiet area and perfect neighbors.
