Within walking distance of the cabins you will find gorgeous well marked hiking trails, waterfalls and wildlife. Or just sit on the front porch of your log cabin and enjoy mild summer temperature or snowy crisp winters. When you decide to leave the natural setting of your cabin in 15 minutes you can venture into historic Banner Elk.

In Banner Elk enjoy a quaint, historic mountain resort town. With gourmet restaurants to ice cream at "The Lodge" , and shopping, theatre and concerts available you are almost guaranteed a good time. Be sure to stop at the old mill pond and feed the ducks, they have come to expect the hospitality of visitors. If it is more the "city life" you crave, venture a little further out to Boone. In about 1/2 an hour you can be in Boone which offers everything a "booming little college town" should. At some point you should visit Grandfather Mtn., Tweetsie Railroad, and Linville Falls considering they are so close.

Of course you can also find great golf courses, day spas, whitewater rafting, tubing, fishing, biking, kayaking, and almost anything else you might want. But when you return back home to the cabin don't be alarmed if you have to wait a moment for the deer or flocks of wild turkeys to cross the road, because "back at home" that is the only traffic jam you will find.
