Appalachian Satisfaction - private retreat with fire pit and views

Welcome to Appalachian Satisfaction! 

This private and classic Valle Crucis log cabin is the perfect choice for your next NC mountain vacation no matter if you prefer to be minutes from historic downtown Boone and ASU or minutes from the year-round fun on Grandfather Mountain or in Banner Elk. One of the spots most enjoyed by guests is the covered front porch, complete with rocking chairs and other seating. Rock away your worries while enjoying your morning coffee or perhaps a glass of wine from the nearby Grandfather Vineyard.  Visit during leaf season, and you can even walk over to the popular Valle Country Fair!

The living area embraces you with mountain charm, lots of light, and a floor to ceiling stone fireplace.  The open floor plan makes it easy for all to interact throughout your stay.  Guests enjoy the oversized country table with seating for ten, and the kitchen provides ample counter space for meal prep. The newly installed central air will help you beat the heat!

This level also features a powder room and the master bedroom that includes a king bed and master bath with shower/tub combo.
Head upstairs to the large, open loft area overlooking the living room and you are greeted by views of the surrounding property.  This area has two sofas for relaxing or curling up with a good book, and there is plenty of space for the kids to play.  This level also has a full bath with shower/tub combo, and two more bedrooms.  The first features a queen bed, and the second has a twin over full bunk bed for the kids. The lower level of this cabin has a family room with seating and video game system.  There is also a fourth sleeping area, another master with queen bed and full bath with shower/tub combo.

After a day of hiking, exploring, or fun on the slopes, guests enjoy returning to Appalachian Satisfaction for an evening of relaxation and enjoyment.  Take in the beauty of Valle Crucis, you can even cook up the trout you caught earlier on the gas grill! Relax away your cares in the soothing hot tub!

No matter the reason for your visit, or the season, this Valle Crucis log cabin rental is an excellent choice.  The location is peaceful and private, yet only about three miles from the historic Mast General Store and Valle Crucis Community Park.  Another ten minutes finds you in Boone, or just a few minutes further to Blowing Rock or Banner Elk.

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The view was very nice and the home was a perfect size to spread out and enjoy. The kitchen had many things just like you would have at home. The only thing you need to bring is you food! We will definitely rent this property again.

The perfect cabin!

My family loves staying at this beautiful cabin. Great location near Valle Crucis park and so much to do nearby. The house was clean and well stocked. Plenty of room for the kids to spread out and play upstairs in the loft or downstairs in the basement. Hot tub was a huge bonus. Will definitely be back!

AMAZING view!

We have stayed all over the high country, and this is hands down one of the BEST views we have had yet. We loved having our coffee in the morning on the deck, and our wine in the evening, just soaking it in. The property is stocked with everything you could need, and has a wonderful layout for a large group. We hope to come back!

100% Satisfaction!

We loved this house! The beds are SO comfortable, and the view/sunsets incredible. Love the location and proximity to Valle Crucis -- dinner at Over Yonder was delicious, and we enjoyed shopping at Mast General Store. Enjoyed a couple of the hikes recommended in your notebook. Kitchen is well-stocked, sofas comfy, ample space to spread out or bond over games/football. Enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. (Didn't have a toddler with us but the house has toddler needs.) Thank you!

Great once again

I believe this is the third or fourth time we’ve rented this property and appreciated the upgrades since our last stay. It won’t be the past time we rent it either as long as it’s available when we need it! Property management group was top notch!

Lovely cabin with great view

We had a great time hiking and hanging out in the hot tub and grilling/eating on the huge deck. Very spacious cabin in a pretty area. Especially enjoyed the view and the huge picture window taking advantage of it. Nice private location but still convenient to hiking (Moses Cone and Price Park we’re about 20 min away). Unexpected bonus of getting to see fireworks across the mountain while watching from the deck! Checking in/out very easy. Clean cabin. Well stocked. We were happy to find some spices to add to our hamburger meat as we had forgotten to bring ours.. Absolutely loved our stay.
