Blair is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

A rocky creek winds through the woods at the base of several hikable peaks hidden just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wildlife enthusiasts are encouraged to explore, on foot or mountain-bike, anywhere within our 170 acres (or the adjoining 250 acres owned by the US Forestry Service off our Western border) and are likely to catch glimpses of turkey, beaver, deer, fox, eastern box turtle and the many species of songbird and raptor. The location is convenient to tons of local attractions for sightseeing and outdoor activities as well as shopping, dining, even wine tasting. We would be happy to supply a comprehensive list of the various local attractions upon request but the following are a few of our favorite things to do within a short drive: visit Linville Falls, Caverns, Gorge and/or Winery; drive the Blue Ridge parkway; tube/kayak down the Catawba river; hike beautiful Crabtree Falls; cross Grandfather Mountains mile high bridge and explore the nearby towns of Spruce Pines or Little Switzerland. The scenic drives to Asheville, Blowing Rock or Banner Elk make them each wonderful day-trip destinations.

The Little Cabin

With kids ·

Little Log Cabin

We loved our stay at the Little Cabin! My boys loved playing in the creek and exploring the property. They have done so much work after Helene and it’s looking great! Very close to gem mining and we enjoyed hiking to Tom’s Creek Falls. Blair was very helpful and accommodating. My husband had to work at the Starlink worked perfectly from the cabin. Looking forward to coming back for tent camping! Thank you!

Perfect Mountain Getaway!

Hilltop Safari Tent

This property and safari tent was absolutely perfect for our family and dogs! For starters the property is so perfect. Plenty of trails so we never had to leave to find adventure. It has a lovely stream that runs through it that the kids had a blast playing in (even in February). The tent provided the essentials for us to glamp and the owner was always just a message away. Lastly, it is situated nicely between local attractions so if you want to adventure around it doesn’t take up your whole day. 10/10 recommend!

Always a great experience. My first time in the cabin and it was clean and comfortable. The grounds are great and of course the creek was beautiful.

Shady Creek View 2

This place is amazing. I was there in the off season (7-9 feb) and I was completely alone. AMAZING. The camp sites aren't on top of each other. Perfect. Ive paid much less for sites with shower facility and restrooms but the privacy is worth the extra $. The big hiking trails are about an hour away which is annoying when I drove over 3 hours to get there but the drive was worth the privacy. Had trouble finding it after dark. Partly my fault bit there isn't any real markings to let you know you're there. I wish there was a place to take my trash when I left, but all of these are small issues compared to the beauty of the property and the space between each site. Creek is so nice!!! Port a jon was CLEAN (THANK YOU)!!! Ill be back.

Love this place!

Creekside Safari Tent

I love this place! Always clean and maintained. The creek is so clear and the gentle sound is the perfect lullaby. I have started doing more solo camping and hiking, and I like that the grounds are gated My go to spot for relaxing time out
