Jefferson, North Carolina
Experience the authenticity of Mammaw and Pappaw Darnell’s home place ½ miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway and across the street from the Raccoon Holler Campground lake. The beautiful lake is right in front of the home place. Used to about 5 years ago, there was no water or bathroom in this cabin. After Mammaw passed away, it was our dream to restore the home and leave the rooms as Mammaw had them in order to share the love of the cabin with others. Now complete with granite counter tops, hardwood floors, and whirlpool tub with it has all the modern day luxuries. You will really enjoy your time here – two bedrooms (i.e., three full beds as two are upstairs in one room), full bathtub, separate shower, washer dryer, dishwasher microwave, hardwood floors, natural beams etched with pine hardwood to provide the rustic cabin feel yet with the modern day appliances of comfort including flat screen cable television.
This property also has RV hookup. If you have RV, you can connect it all here
Sit on the front porch and look at the lake, view the lake from the kitchen, living room and upstairs bedroom. This home place offers authenticity and comfort. Convenient to Jefferson and West Jefferson, 22 miles out the Blue Ridge Parkway to Boone and a mile from the famous Northwest Trading Post, right off the Blue Ridge Parkway, 15 miles from Wilkesboro, come home to Raccoon Holler

Property was nice and big and tucked away into the hollow.
Great place, helpful owner, very nice little cabin off the parkway.
Lovely cabin. View of the lake was soothing. Loved sitting on the front porch watching the baby geese on the lake.
Very quiet, peaceful and clean. Well stocked with all necessities. Great porch and view of pond. Slept great. TV didn’t work in downstairs bedroom which wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. Upon contacting property manager about it, she responded quickly and offered to provide a solution. The owner was also responsive and provided excellent information prior to stay.
The inside of the cabin is beautiful! Some of the pictures makes you believe you have access to the lake. You do not! It is owned by a camp ground and they have no choice words to make sure you know it and stay away. Keys are in a lock box but my communication said they would be under a mat. Never was communicated the code to the lock box until the owners mother happen to drive by. She seemed more surprised than I did that I hadn't been told. They claim the wifi operates without a password but look on the fridge for it. Also don't trust any the phone numbers they provide in their communications. All wrong numbers but if you do get inside they are on the fridge as well. Overall a very nice cabin but access and communication is a pain.
We enjoyed our stay, there was plenty of room in the house for more people so I am hoping to travel there again with more family.
2nd time here at Raccoon Holler. Love the location and love the house. Very roomy and everything u may need. We will be back for sure. Great communication with the owner! Having the pets with us is a plus always!
The property was very well taken care of
What a cute little cabin. Clean comfortable and well stocked. Great stay
Lovely location with beautiful scenery of the lake. This cabin had everything we needed and was conveniently located close to West Jefferson. We enjoyed spending time on the front porch and walking our dog around the property. We did get to meet Wanda who was so sweet. The cabin was comfortable and will definitely visit again. Our pets were intrigued by the stuffed raccoon, too. Lol!
We will absolutely be back for a stay here. We loved it! It’s secluded yet centrally located to everything!! Very convenient. The cabin was very clean and Wanda was very helpful and quick to get back to us with any questions! TEN stars!!!
The cabin was just as described; quaint, clean, came with everything we needed and had a pleasant view of the pond access the road. Owner and manager were super accommodating. Our only negative was that the master bedroom bed was both uncomfortable and very loud. We had a very poor nights sleep.
We really enjoyed the cabin, quiet and peaceful.
Really enjoyed our stay. Look forward to come back again some day.
