In the heart of historic Valle Crucis, NC, nestled on St. John’s Ridge, this secluded log cabin sports a stunning view of the Watauga river meandering through a green valley, bordered by the Blue Ridge Mountains and is just minutes away from the historic Mast General Store, close to Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Grandfather Mountain and three ski areas.  During the cold months, guests can use the indoor fireplace. The home has smart TVs, so guests may sign into their own streaming accounts. In warmer months, guests can build a fire in the fire pit, outdoors under the stars.  The hot tub can be used year round and is under its own deck-side gazebo.  The decks are furnished with rocking chairs, tables, a porch swing and a hammock.  Guests can cook outdoors on the gas grill.  Time for bed? This cabin boasts three bedrooms plus a bonus loft with a set of Twin bunkbeds. The top and lower floors each have a King bedroom, and the main floor has a Queen bedroom.  Local activities include fishing, kayaking, skiing, hiking, horseback riding, white water rafting, festivals, antiquing and Tweetsie Railroad, to name a few. Historic St. John’s Church built in 1862 is a short walk from the cabin.  The Watauga river runs in front of the property and can be accessed on foot as well.  Mast General Store in Valle Crucis, also built in the 1800s, is a few miles away and is a must see for guests.  Whatever your pleasure, make time to experience St Johns Ridge and its stunning views today!
