Charming Cabin Near Boone - Picturesque Views - NEW Hot Tub & Hiking Trails

Loved the swing on the porch my favorite!! The hot tub of course was nice. All of the outside and places to sit and see nature was great!!! Master bedroom perfect!!Host very quick to respond Great place

Fantastic views with lots of seating options outside to relax and enjoy. The outdoor swinging bed was nice for afternoon naps. The deck was convenient for keeping dogs outside.We made several meals on the grill, and the kitchen was well stocked.Getting back up the driveway was a bit fun, just make sure to maintain decent speed going up it or you'll spin out.

Excellent communication from host and perfect cabin in the mountains for the ultimate peaceful, quiet getaway from the noise of the world! Aptly named as well, we encountered a black bear cub on our hike with the dogs. The decks here are perfect to truly enjoy the beauty of nature surrounding you.

Zero complaints great cabin inside and outside also the views were phenomenal

Alyson is such a great host! My wife and I have stayed at this cabin in the past, but gifted a stay to our friends. Like is, they too had an amazing time at the cabin. They mentioned tge peace and quiet, and the atmosphere of the hot tub on the deck as highlights. Again, thank you Alyson! Truly a gem of a location.

Deck was our favorite part of the house..Weather was perfect to be outside.

Alyson does a great job communicating! The cabin is a gem…quiet location with amazing views! Truly peaceful!

Wonderful getaway for a couple of days with great walking trails!

We cannot recommend this house enough! We're beyond happy with our stay.

The hot tub what very clean and felt amazing after hiking everyday and the cabin is very private can't see any other cabins around except for the ones way across on the other mountains

Hot tub was perfect

It was a very nice location and very quiet and private. The driveway in and out is a little scary. The highlight of the property is the outdoor gazebo area with a swinging bed and hot tub. But if I’m being honest, it’s just a little expensive for what it is.

Got recommended this cabin by family and it did not disappoint. The neighborhood and cabin were beautiful, and the view from the porch was amazing. Also a great stay for my dog, she enjoyed all the hikes and hanging out on the patio. Will be planning to return in the future!

Incredible property. We stay at a lot of these, by far the winner on location and views, hot tub was awesome. Will definitely be coming back!

Our stay was amazing! Beautiful views from this cozy home nestled right in the side of the mountain. We spent the days hiking and the evening recovering in the hot tub. The little restaurant at the entrance was very good and convenient and the staff were great! Would love to come back with our pups!

The deck and outdoor areas of this property are gorgeous. You are truly one with nature and we enjoyed setting on the porch swing and soaking up the view.The inside of the property was functional but needed some deep cleaning and maintenance. The ice maker does not work but ice trays are provided. The upstairs shower did not drain well and the shower head was only partially working. Outside, there was a new gas grill but when we opened the top to use it, there was a mice nest with live mice living in the grill. We reported these issues to the owner so hopefully they are quickly resolved.We also had the bad luck of having a power outage in the middle of the first night. We messaged VBRO and the owner in the middle of the night with no response- which is partially understandable but it was scary to be on a mountain with no power and no updates on what is wrong. The owner did respond the next morning with screenshots from the power company. Perhaps the power company could be added to the binder of information so that others could know who to contact for outages.Finally, we did not see any mentions of the driveway in other reviews or the description but it is steep and gravel with some areas of ridges that normal cars may struggle with. If you have a truck or SUV, you would be fine. I know it’s typical for the mountains but usually it’s posted so you will know.Overall, this property has incredible potential and some may stay just for the outdoor amenities.

We loved the entire stay! Very clean, well stocked with the needed items! Great response from the host!! King size bed was so comfy! Love love loved it!!

This cabin is located at the very top of the Leatherwood Mountain Community and offers spectacular views. The hosts have tastefully decorated with bear-themed, rustic features; and completely renovated the outdoor wraparound porch to include a large covered porch with hanging swing bed, high end composite furniture and hot tub. We rented this mountain home for 7 days/8 nights to escape the oppressive summer heat of our Summerville, SC home. It was heavenly! The clouds and overcast days created a rainforest-like environment and an incredible landscape with beautiful skies. The home was comfortable, had everything we needed for our stay and was minutes from private hiking trails. We did have to drive 45 minutes to an hour to reach Boone, Blowing Rock and state parks that were open post Hurricane Helene, but it didn’t even matter! It was beautiful driving around this part of North Carolina. Situated in the Leatherwood Mountain Resort, this cabin is very private and peaceful, while offering access to the pool and stables down in the valley. It was so amazing watching the horses, deer and other wildlife. I didn’t want to leave and hope never to lose this sense of peace I gained while there. If I do, I will be back!

Great location, beautiful house, responsive host be back next year.

This property is not only well, well taken care of, it is on a piece of this earth where you will literally and physiologically enjoy the “sound of silence”. The swing on the back porch is heavenly, especially with a glass of wine at sunset, then after sunset when you watch the fireflies start dancing. The larger swing by the hot tub - nap heaven!! The hot tub - big and comfortable, clean and worked every day, every time. We are from Texas then Florida - so ceiling throughout the cabin were so appreciated. The communication with the property manager as well as owner was, from timeliness to thoroughly addressing questions, “Ritz Carleton” type excellence. If you want to get away, have quality time in a high quality place, enjoy any and all meals with that/those special someone for a while, be in one of the few places on earth where you hear nothing - I mean sheer silence - , and your biggest decision is whether to go to other wonderful parts of NC during the day, or, go between hot tub and huge bed-size swing with great pillows and outstanding view, you must spoil yourself and come to this cabin. Thank you, thank you, Alyson!! What a treat!!

What a “Million” dollar view this place has! My wife and I usually do a lot of hiking any cabin we go to but, this place felt magical. One with nature, no big city sound only sounds of nature and the wind… You didn’t want to get out of the swinging bed and when you did it was a dip in the hot tub and every single spot you sat in you had a different viewpoint! Wow, just WOW! Honestly, just bring all your food to cook or reheat and relax with nothing to bother you and your loved ones. So peaceful and relaxing and HIGHLY recommend this cabin to anyone that needs to rejuvenate their minds from real life.

This place was pretty awesome! The wrap around porch and pavilion were our favorite! My wife and I went up for a couple nights and this place did not disappoint!I didn't know the grill was charcoal, luckily we were able to use the stove. Propane would've been ideal but that's ok.Getting in was pretty straight forward and Alyson gave great directions through her email attachment. She was also very communicative via email messages.The drive up though! Wow, it is some steep climbing of paved hills. I would recommend having some 4x4 or at least 2W front wheel drive. The driveways is steep. It's certainly doable but I'd be nervous if I had a 2 wheel drive vehicle. I put my truck in 4Low and it worked great.All in all, it was a great stay! Thank you!

My wife and I were looking for a nice place to just disconnect from everyday life. This could not have been more perfect. Alyson (owner) really takes great care in providing many of the little things while offering the most spectacular views. A waiting bottle of wine as we entered the cabin was a very classy touch. Alyson happened to be travelling overseas however still responded to any questions we had prior to the trip. While my wife and I have travelled quite a bit this was one of the more perfect trips in a while. The pictures simply cannot capture the beauty. We left the cabin once to eat breakfast at the charming restaurant as you enter the gated community. We will certainly return many times to enjoy the solitude. The swinging daybed was perfect. Alyson, thank you again for a simply perfect getaway!! We look forward to returning.

We loved our stay. The view and neighborhood was great. The outdoor spaces made us not want to leave. We will be back!

What a GEM this place is! Tucked away in a gated community only 1hr & 20 minutes from Winston Salem, is the most charming cabin with the most breath-taking view! The covered deck with a bed swing and hot tub is PERFECT for a rainy weekend, where we got to enjoy the incredible outdoor surroundings despite the rain! So peaceful, so private, so perfect!! We cooked every meal and never left this incredible oasis except to hike a trail just a short walk up the hill. Cannot recommend more! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home!!!

We would stay again and again. The daybed and the hot tub are as perfect as they look in the photos. This home is the perfect blend of luxury and rustic.

Great location to get away. Fantastic hot tub and deck area. Enjoyed coffee on 2nd floor master bedroom deck with terrific views.

This property was perfect for us for a getaway weekend. The outdoor space is absolutely stunning. We would spend the entire time there if we can help it. We will be back again for sure. Make sure to gas up before you get there as there are no close by gas stations, but that's a small price to pay for the location, view and serenity of the property.

My husband and I visited for a quick weekend getaway. The cabin was perfect! Everything was spotless, the bed was super comfortable and the kitchen was very well-equipped. The outdoor area was our favorite part with the covered hot tub, swinging day bed, and plenty of outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend!

My girlfriend and I stayed the weekend here. The views were amazing along with the amenities. The living room has since been updated so it’s a little different than the listing but not by much! Everything about the cabin was so cozy and relaxing! Definitely recommend staying here!

Great views. Really enjoyed our stay and wish we couldve stayed longer.

This property is absolutely beautiful and secluded. It was EXACTLY what I needed for a quick weekend getaway! I hope to go back again soon!

Loved everything about our stay and will definitely be back. King bed was very comfortable, kitchen had everything needed. Hot tub was great and the swing bed was comfortable and cozy. Thank you!

Alyson was absolutely amazing and extremely kind. This home had one of the most stunning views at the top of the road, secluded and quiet. I would absolutely love to come back here and stay longer than a weekend. Make sure you bring coffee, all the food, and necessities you want for cooking if you plan on staying there.

We had a wonderful stay. The view is breathtaking. The location is remote and peaceful. Exactly what we were looking for.

My husband and I wanted a place to get away and relax, with no need to be anywhere at any time. This place delivered that, as well as some amazing scenic skies. We arrived at dusk (do try to get there before the sun sets), so we didn't get to check out the view initially, but we awoke the following morning to a partial rainbow over the mountains, followed by the most colorful sunset I've ever seen, and literal twinkling stars at night. The majority of our time was spent in the spacious hot tub, bed swing, and gliders/rockers. We appreciated the string lights that hung from the deck of the master bedroom which had a huge, comfy bed. Being a light sleeper, I was worried when I saw 4 skylights in the bedroom, but with the tree coverage, it didn't get bright enough to interrupt our sleep. We chose to prepare all our meals within the house and were able to do so with the provided kitchen essentials. The only constructive thing I have to share is to bring a couple of additional beach towels if you intend to utilize the hot tub as often as we did. Two beach towels were provided, and we were able to throw them in the dryer, but it would have been nice to have had a couple of additional towels.

We had a great time. No complaints!

This property had everything we needed from the really comfortable king bed in the master to the great new outdoor pavilion with a really nice hot tub and huge swing. It has an incredible view and is very private. It is a great place to go if you are wanting to relax!

This is the fourth October we have stayed there. This year we were pleasantly surprised to see the completion of a new pavilion facing the susnset that included a nice new hot tub, table and chairs, a couple of comfy rocker/gliders and the best of all….a swing bed that was absolutely amazing!

This was our 5th visit to Bear Cub Cottage..What a beautiful place to spend the week..If you like peace and quiet along with Stunning Mountain Views, you will enjoy your time in Leatherwoods..With all the upgrades the owners have made, which includes a Open Air Pavilion along with a Swinging Day-Bed and Jacuzzi just adds to the overall beauty of the place..The cottage is always clean and well maintained..Just a really nice place to spend with family and friends..Signed: Jim and Karlene Stock..

The view & outdoor swinging bed is far better than pictures can capture.

If you want to experience total quiet, with only the sounds of the breeze blowing through the leaves and the chirping of birds and crickets, this is a serene place you would enjoy. There was just a hint of the glorious splendor that is ahead in the next few weeks as a few trees on the hillside had leaves changing. We really appreciated the mums on the deck too. Spent most of our time there and loved it!

Outstanding

First for the positives. The view was nice and the cabin was clean. Enjoyed having coffee on the deck in the morning. The new deck and railing are nice. All of the negatives are small by themselves but added up. There are extra pillows but no pillowcases. Couldn’t find extra hand towels. The grill was so rusted that it wasn’t usable. We ended up leaving a day early because we couldn’t cook the steak birthday dinner on the grill as planned. I had specifically asked about the grill before going so I would know if it was propane or if we needed to provide charcoal. The ice maker doesn’t work. There were two manual ice trays but they were cracked and leaked.The hot tub needed a thorough cleaning. Some of the boards it is sitting on are rotting, especially where you step out. The grass was probably a foot tall which made it difficult for my husband’s service dog. All in all we did not think it was a good value for the money paid.

The property was very clean and definitely felt secluded.

Peaceful and serene. Outdoor areas are lovely. Inside was very clean and comfortable.
