Property Description
If you've been searching for a mountain cabin that offers both an exceptional getaway and a proven investment opportunity, this is it. With nearly $70,000 in gross short-term rental income over the past 12 months, this beautifully maintained log cabin has established itself as a successful vacation rental while still allowing the current owners to enjoy it throughout the year, particularly during the beautiful summer and fall seasons. Situated on 1.35 acres along the trout-stocked waters of Cove Creek, the setting is truly something special. Framed by surrounding pastures, rolling mountains, and an impressive natural boulder, guests often describe the scenery as feeling like a "mini Ireland." The gently sloping yard leads to the creek, where you'll find a handcrafted swing that's become a favorite for guests, while horses and cattle grazing nearby add to the peaceful mountain atmosphere. Inside, the home blends timeless log cabin character with tasteful modern updates. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, and a stone fireplace create a warm and inviting great room, while mountain-modern finishes provide comfort and style throughout. The flexible floor plan includes 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a spacious sleeping loft, comfortably accommodating up to six guests. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with multiple spaces designed to take advantage of the natural surroundings. Enjoy a wraparound deck with covered porches, or unwind on the lower patio featuring a hot tub, fire pit, and porch swing.. the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking, skiing, fishing, or exploring the High Country. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Boone and Appalachian State University, with easy access to Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, Watauga Lake, and countless outdoor recreation opportunities, the property offers the ideal combination of privacy and convenience. A paved, state-maintained road provides easy year-round access, while three-zone central heating and air conditioning and fiber-optic internet ensure comfort for both owners and guests. Being offered fully furnished and turnkey, this property is ready to continue as a successful short-term rental from day one or become your own private mountain retreat. Whether you're looking for a second home, an income-producing investment, or both, this exceptional cabin delivers the best of mountain living.
