Log Cabin on Neils Creek

Our cabin home can be your home away from home!

Cool rushing water, fresh mountain air. The Log Cabin on Neil's Creek is situated on private land inside the Pisgah National Forest at the foot of Mount Mitchell in the high mountains. Neil's Creek rushes at a stone's throw past our "settin" porch toward the headwaters of the South Toe River. Open the windows and hear the creek! Mt. Mitchell Golf Course is less than a mile away, as is Roaring Fork Falls. The cabin is in a high mountain valley at 3,000 ft elevation. The terrain nearby is quite level and an easy and beautiful walk, or you can hike a trail straight up to the top of Mt Mitchell.

About an hour and 15 minutes drive from Asheville, the South Toe River Valley is an exquisite, fun, and friendly place to visit. The area is a photographer's, sport or craft person's delight. Sights include Penland Art Center, Linville Falls, many local waterfalls, Blowing Rock, Boone, Little Switzerland, Spruce Pine, and Grandfather Mountain.

A log cabin vacation is not like staying in a hotel. There's no maid service. Sheets and towels are ready for you when you check in - but you will have to make your own bed! On the other hand, what is precious is the peaceful return to nature - the babbling of the creek, the freshness of the air and of the forest. You can sleep with the sounds of nature coming in your open window - except maybe in winter! And this is the beauty of a log cabin vacation - you have the full experience of nature, with the comfort of cooking in a modern, well-equipped kitchen, your own bathroom, and a real bed at night. Not to mention the coziness of a fire, and the comfort of both heating and air conditioning as needed.

Our cabin home (and your vacation getaway) is about 1100 square feet. There is one large bathroom with washer and dryer, a dining area, and a game area. The cabin is located in a hemlock grove.
