Tucked away in the serene landscape of Valle Crucis, this enchanting three-bedroom log cabin offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comforts. With its unique location in the Little Bavaria development, the cabin boasts unparalleled privacy across sprawling acres, framed by the majestic views of Grandfather Mountain. This dog-friendly haven promises an idyllic escape for those seeking to connect with nature without compromising on luxury. Each of the three cozy bedrooms comes with a private bathroom, ensuring personal space and comfort for all. The additional half bath on the main level adds to the convenience. The heart of the cabin is its welcoming main floor, where a family room comes alive with the warmth of a wood-burning fireplace. Here, guests can gather for meals in the inviting dining room or whip up delicious treats in the fully-equipped kitchen, complete with a farmhouse sink, toaster oven, microwave, dishwasher, and not one, but two types of coffeemakers – a drip coffee and a Keurig. The main floor also houses a bedroom with a plush queen bed and private bath, creating a tranquil retreat. The cabin's charm is further elevated by its outdoor amenities, including a hot tub and firepit under the starry sky, acres of gated decks for relaxation, and the delightful opportunity for fishing at the nearby lake. The adventure continues upstairs in the loft and the master bedroom, where a sumptuous king bed awaits, complemented by a cozy gas log fireplace and another private bath for a luxurious experience. For those seeking entertainment, the lower level reveals a fun-filled game room equipped with a pool table, a second wood-burning fireplace, and a BIG screen TV for memorable evenings. Also on this level is the third bedroom, offering a queen bed and private bath. Whether it's lounging by the fireplaces, enjoying games, or exploring the natural beauty outside, this cabin is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be discovered.

Reviews
Guest
This cabin is beyond perfection! It has absolutely everything you could possibly want in a vacation cabin in the mountains. The cabin is close enough to town that you can be anywhere you want in less than 15 minutes but far enough out that you still feel secluded. I can't emphasize enough how perfect and luxurious this cabin is. Everything went smoothly from booking the reservation, to the friendly and helpful staff checking us in and out. We felt totally spoiled every step of the way and we will be back!!!!
