For everyone who has ever looked for a chink-log cabin in the woods - You have found it! This 5 bedroom, 3 bath cabin sits perfectly on a private 5 acres overlooking Howards Creek. This property is perfect for all age groups.

From the time you turn off Hwy 194 (only 3 miles to ASU) onto the private bridge over Howards Creek, the property becomes a tranquil retreat and yet so close to town.

You will notice the rock wall backdrop as you drive up the driveway (Plenty of room for several vehicles). As you enter the cabin there is a screened porch with a sectional as well as a gas grill that is permanently connected to a gas line (no need to change out tanks) and a gas burning fireplace. It is cozy with a 4-person high-top table and hanging low-lit lighting for any time of the day.

The cabin is well equipped with a large kitchen to include all items needed for family meals as well as a dining room that sits 8 adults comfortably. The kitchen has been updated with new appliances and is fully stocked for your needs. The living room has a gas burning fireplace so no need to cut wood. The staircase, mantel and most furniture have been custom made by a local artist.

On the main level there are 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Bedroom 1 has a king size custom bed with new mattress. There is a full bathroom in this suite and is decorated in a deer theme. Bedroom 2 (also on main level) has a queen custom made cedar bed and is decorated in a bear theme.
As you make your way up the staircase, you will find 3 more bedrooms as well as a full bathroom with tile shower. Ready for some fun - Upstairs boasts a game room to include a pool table, ping-pong table, Pac-Man video game and 9 foot shuffle-board game.

The front porch sits facing Howards Creek and you can often see deer or other forest animals roaming the property. You will find custom made cedar rockers on the front porch and the private 7 person hot-tub which is located under a gazabo and offers mood lighting.

Private hiking trails over the 5-acres and along the stocked trout stream offer 2 fire pits (1 at the home and 1 by the stream).
Furry Friends are welcome with deposit only. Please email and have all pets accounted for prior to renting.

    This was an awesome cabin!! It was not far from downtown Boone. There was plenty of shops and restaurants around. Tweetsie Railroad is just 15 mins away too! Great view of creek below! Bedrooms was spacious and beds slept great! Game room upstairs was a definite plus! Screened porch was very cozy and front porch had wonderful rocking chairs! Hot tub was nice too! Definitely would reccommend this cabin for family getaway! Worth every penny!

    Cabin was a perfect home for a cozy mountain getaway. Our family had a wonderful time and enjoyed the game room upstairs. The hot tub was also a great addition! The owner even gave me some tips that allowed us to catch multiple fish and provided memories for years to come. This is definitely a house we would book again. Location was conveniently placed near downtown Boone but far enough out to give the right amount of privacy. Lots of hidden gems in this house and if your on the fence, book it!

    The cabin was warm and inviting. Decorated beautifully for the holidays and plenty of space for our group to gather. The screened in porch was bigger than it appeared in the photos and the hot tub sits beneath a lovely covering with ambient lighting. The whole place was lovely and had that real log cabin vibe to it. Special touches throughout show that hosts take pride in the cabin.

    The location as advertised is incorrect. We booked because the listing stated a 13 minute walk to Kidd Brewer stadium. Completely false. It is a 1hr and 35 minute walk from this location. The only reason we chose this rental was due to the advertised location. Also, heat did not work in hall bathroom and no instructions were left for shower in master bath. Overall, it was disappointing.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Rustic Retreat. The kids loved the game room and that there was a TV in every bedroom. They also enjoyed playing in the creek and exploring the woods. There was plenty of room for everyone. I loved the screened in porch and rocking chairs on the front. It was also decorated for fall. The only drawbacks were that the property is on a pretty busy road. Lots of cars all the time. But that also means it’s very close to town. I did a Walmart delivery for our groceries with no problems. Overall great stay.

    This property may be better than advertised. It is in a great location just a few miles outside of Boone. Close enough to be back into town in minutes but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Plenty of space for multiple people to sleep and also space to gather in dining area and living room. Would recommend this property to any medium to large group.

    This cabin was very clean and beautiful. It has a rustic feel and design with all the amenities of a modern cabin. Tammy, the hostess with the mostess, answered all of my annoying questions very quickly and was most helpful. The only thing that I can say that was just a little less than perfect was the frontage road across the creek that had a lot of traffic and was a little loud if you were out front. Inside, we couldn’t hear anything. Beautiful cabin, you won’t be disappointed!!!!

The cabin had everything we needed to cook big family meals, enjoy time around the fire pit and pool tables and just hang out together. Location was great in that it was so convenient to Boone. The road noise did make it slightly less serene on the porch but was wasn’t too bad. Overall great place to stay!
