At 4,200 feet in elevation, this mountain cabin is the kind of place people come to unplug for a few days and end up wishing they could stay longer. The cabin offers two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a loft for additional sleeping space, and a comfortable living area centered around a gas fireplace. Knotty pine tongue-and-groove walls, exposed joists with traditional wooden pegs, and large Pella windows in the living room give the home plenty of character without sacrificing comfort. A propane furnace installed just two years ago helps keep things cozy year-round. The kitchen is surprisingly functional for a cabin getaway. It's fully equipped and thoughtfully organized, right down to labeled cabinets, and has comfortably handled everything from weekend trips to full Thanksgiving dinners. Outside, you'll find a covered porch that feels like an extra living room, along with a hot tub, fire pit area, and plenty of parking. Only a handful of neighboring homes are visible, creating a sense of privacy while still offering the comfort of having neighbors nearby. Located off scenic Rich Mountain Road, the drive is part of the experience. Head one direction toward Rich Mountain and Elk Knob State Park before looping back into Boone, or continue the other way toward Tennessee for an easy day trip to Mountain City. The setting feels peaceful and removed without being inconveniently far from shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation. The property has been well maintained and is currently set up as a short-term rental, making it easy to continue as an investment, personal getaway, or primary home. A few cosmetic exterior improvements, such as staining and landscaping updates, could further enhance an already inviting mountain retreat.
