Situated on 2 acres on the western slopes of the North Carolina Appalachian Mountains, Fern Hill Overlook offers magnificent mountain views, lots of privacy, and is conveniently accessible to local attractions and activities.

Curve up the driveway between rock ledges and rhododendron to a rustic cabin which is not easily visible from the road.

Park under the deck and walk up the stone steps. At the top of the steps, there is a bench big enough for two and a stone patio. It's agreat spot for quiet reflection. Go through the house or follow the deck to the front porch for BREATHTAKING mountain views and a glimpse of the river in winter. No other cabins are between you and the river. Put the two rocking chairs together and share nature's beauty and majesty with someone special. Enjoy the scenic views and forest setting. Be sure to keep an eye out for deer passing by but please respect this property as a sanctuary for the native flora and fauna.

This cabin has many amenities including full length windows, an updated kitchen and open floor plan. It is nicely furnished with rustic style furniture and accents. The master bedroom with a reading area takes full advantage of the windows and views. Firewood is provided for the wood burning stove which keeps the cabin cozy in even the coldest weather.

Located only 25 minutes from Boone or Blowing Rock, it's a short ride for shopping, touring, white water rafting or skiing. Grandfather Mountain would be a great destination for a daytime adventure! Families may also enjoy Tweetsie Railroad. Head in the other direction and you can spend the day in Tennessee at Watauga Lake! Browse the collection of books in the cabin for reading on a rainy day.

Fern Hill Overlook is accessible year round but four wheel drive or chains are recommended for this property in winter months due to the significant slope of the driveway.

The relatively high elevation and ceiling fans usually keep it comfortable year round but there is HVAC in the family room to provide cooling on a hot summer day. There are 4 sources of heat during cooler months to keep the cabin warm and cozy (HVAC, baseboard heaters, ceramic heaters, wood stove). As a rustic cabin in the woods, the possibility of an outdoor fire spreading to the cabin is a concern. Therefore, no outdoor fires (grills for cooking, fire pits, etc.) are allowed. Wildlife such as deer and turkey may occasionally be seen crossing the property. These 2 acres are to be respected as a sanctuary for animals. No discharge of weapons of any sort is permitted.

Note that the hot tub was removed in August 2022. I have not found a suitable replacement at this time.

    We loved this cabin even with the snow storm! It's a great cabin with wonderful views. The host is amazing and she is very prompt. We were looking for a place to get away and unplug, this cabin was perfect.

    The cabin was absolutely perfect for our trip to the area. Secluded but conveniently located to all of the area's attractions. The front porch has incredible views of the mountains, whether for morning coffee or evening beverages. Sandra, our hostess, was very forthcoming with information about the cabin and especially directions. I highly recommend following those directions and not your GPS. We definitely look forward to our next return visit and stay at Fern Hill Overlook!!!

    We were only getting a place to stay for a race. Trying to find the house was a little tricky because the directions stop you in the middle of the road past the drive way it self. The drive way is extremely steep so be aware of that! The house is a little out dated only one tv and it’s in the living room. Be mindful that the master bed room doesn’t have any blinds or curtains as well. If you are comfortable with that then this house is perfect for you! We also had a little visitor while we were there. A mouse was in our room both nights. I understood with it turning cold that those little creatures would be coming out but as someone who doesn’t like mice or rodents over all it was very hard for me to sleep at all. With it being such a last minute trip I didn’t complain too much about it I tried to see the positive side of it. If you are one with nature then this house is perfect for you. The view it self is beautiful. You have privacy for sure! The host was very quick with response as well so that really made me feel good!

    Great value compared to others. Good view of the mountains and clean. About 25-35 minutes from beech skiing. Driveway is steep and may require chains if weather is icy. Verify that the hot tub is working before booking, though.

    All in all it was great. Needed a little better cleaning job tho. The back bedroom is settling which made the room uncomfortable to be in. The view made up for anything that was iffy.

    It was our second wedding anniversary and we wanted a private home with a great view and boy, did we get it! This house is comfortably appointed, and although I would not consider it a luxury home, it was very cozy and endearing. Loved the wood stove! The mattresses could probably use an upgrade but that’s about the only suggestion I would make. It really was very charming and we definitely plan on coming back next year. The owner was very responsive and helped us several times with quick communication.
