About this property

Cabin near BR, fire pit, WIFI, secluded, nearby hikes, and VIEWS!!

Hi! We're A&B Mountain Properties (Alison and Brad)!! Our cabin is about 12 minutes west of Main Street BR, COZY, and has amazing layered mountain views all year. We love our family business and there are no chores at check-out, so you can relax!

Our home is also close to Westglow, less than 5 minutes to the BRP/Price Lake/Moses Cone, and .3 mile to the Asutsi trailhead which connects you to ALL east side trails of Grandfather Mountain and is the only access point for these trails in winter.



Mountain Flower Hideaway is a dream come true in every sense! It is a beautiful, amenity-rich cabin that provides guests both seclusion and a fabulous location minutes to Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Boone and all of the treasures of the High Country. The seasonal long-range views are stunning, the daily sunrise is awe-inspiring, and the property boasts ample parking for guests and tons of outdoor space for stargazing, mountain storm watching, fires in the fire pit, grilling, yard games, and walks through the property's unique rhododendron tunnel. The inside is no less impressive. The main floor is comprised of a master bedroom with a queen bed and en-suite half bath (and washer and dryer). The master bedroom has two large closets, an armoire, and plenty of room and natural light for relaxation. The full bath (with tub and shower) is also located on the main level. The kitchen is a cook's dream! It is well-appointed with anything that guests could need and is pleasing to the eye with granite countertops, soft-close drawers, and stainless steel appliances. The dining area and living room are also located on the main floor. There are books throughout the house, as well as games, along with a flat screen TV for guest entertainment. The stone gas log fireplace that anchors these two living spaces is a beautiful feature for guests visiting on cold mountain nights. The upper level is comprised of two lovely bedrooms, one with a full bed and one with a queen bed. Both bedrooms have ample closet and dresser space. There is also a half bathroom upstairs as well. The cabin has been lovingly cared for and decorated. Guests will be delighted with the art, books, games, and personal touches that are located throughout the home.

*****Please note - in late Fall and Winter months, a 4WD or AWD vehicle may be necessary to get up the paved, but steep driveway. For guests without this type of vehicle, parking is available on a lower part of the property, but additional walking to the front door of the house will be involved. We are not responsible for damage that occurs to guest vehicles or other property.***

Wonderful place to relax and explore

We had a great time staying at the cabin with our kids! The cabin was clean and had all the amenities we needed. It was cozy but still had plenty of space for all of us. Our kids' favorite part was exploring in and around the rhododendrons on the property. The location felt secluded but was right off the highway and close to many fun locations. It also was a great value for the price. Thank you!

A short getaway

We loved the cozy cabin in the woods! Wish we couod have stayed longer. The hosts are generous with supplies like TP, plastic bags and even s'mores!! Plus, everthing is comfortable from the beds to the couches and chairs to the climate control in the cabin. Will say, it is very easy to miss as the drive and entrance are not well marked or lit. But great views once you acsend the drive and stand out on the porch!!

Great Family Trip to Blowing Rock

The cabin was very pleasant for our family of five. Our boys enjoyed having the upstairs space, and the upstairs half-bath was convenient for their use. All of the beds were comfortable with nice linens, and the washcloths/towels were plentiful. We were glad to find the kitchen was well-stocked for our purposes, as we typically cook a few simple meals at home while we travel. The lack of wifi was not a problem for us at all; it was nice to accept the invitation to unplug, and we still had cell service if we needed it. We enjoyed the sunrises each morning and the fire pit every evening! Such a pleasant, quiet, peaceful cabin!

Mountain Weekend Relaxation

We had a wonderful time spending the weekend in this home. The view allows you to catch the sunrise each morning. It is far enough from town that you can enjoy the stars while sitting by the fire. The living room is very comfortable and perfect for relaxing and reading a book.

Our second time here

This is our 2nd annual trip to the mountains and this house has been perfect for us. My kids explore the surrounding area and we get peace and quiet. Alison, the owner, is precious and so communicative with her renters. We love it and will be back again next year for our 3rd annual trip.

We came for the fall color and were not disappointed by the view or it's proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The fully equipped kitchen allowed cooking in. The hosts were easily available by text/phone and very helpful. Comfortable beds and bathrooms with a fireplace. All things we desired in a mountain cabin. Our car handled the driveway fine and we could easily turn around.

PEACEFUL GETAWAY

Our jobs can be quite stressful and we needed a secluded cabin to ‘shut down’ relax, hear and see nature! The mountain air was fresh and cool! Good location, amazing sunrises, nice landscaping, with a fire pit. The cabin is within a 15 min. drive to Blowing Rock. This town is perfect for great restaurants and shopping. Boone is a short drive from Blowing Rock We met Brad, the owner, who is very nice and helpful telling us about hiking trails. We loved visiting the Moses Cone estate and its wide and smooth hiking trails. Brad’s wife, Allison, always communicated back to us in a timely manner. This is another VRBO favorite of ours and we highly recommend it. We have already made reservations for Oct.!

Perfect Lil getaway

We wanted to celebrate my fiancée's bday by visiting differnt breweries in and around boone. This house was the cutest, cleanest, quiest lil spot of heaven we could have reserved. No wifi? No problem for us. We are both 28yrs young and enjoyed being unplugged. It also helps being only 15/20mins from shops and restaurants. We will definitely keep this location in our hearts for future visits.

Beautiful cabin in great location!

Beautiful property -close to everything we love- hiking, restaurants etc. Very easy to get to- no problems at all getting my midsize SUV in or out. This is the mountains - you’re going to have tight turns and difficult curves / corners to see around- it’s part of the charm of being in a cabin. It is very private- which we love! Thoroughly enjoyed building a fire every night- enjoyed it with a glass of wine! I highly recommend this cabin. The owners were great. not having Wi-Fi was not an issue for us at all. I could check all football scores Saturday on the TV! My texting and phone worked fine. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful cabin!

About the host

Hosted by Brad and Alison Gates

Host profile image
We are Brad and Alison! We live in Blowing Rock, are active in our community, are proud parents of a little boy and two old dogs, and we love hosting folks at our cabins. When it comes to cabins, we do it all and we're awfully proud of it - renovation, cleaning, maintenance, guest management, and every other aspect that makes staying with us a special experience. We are detail-oriented and living our own dream - y'all come see us!


Why they chose this property

This property is just a dream! It is a cabin plucked straight from a storybook setting, complete with gorgeous grounds and warm, inviting rooms. The views will enchant you and there is nothing like watching a rainstorm or heavy snowfall from the many windows throughout the home. The cabin is well-suited for adult travelers or families with children. There is plenty of space to spread out in this cabin, three large bedrooms, and wonderful kitchen, living, and dining spaces for cooking and making merry. We love how close this gem is to Grandfather Mountain, the Asutsi trail (which will get you anywhere on the east side of Grandfather in ALL seasons), Bass Lake, Price Lake, and many other treasures along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

What makes this property unique

Because we live only minutes away and on a full-time basis, we are able to assist guests quickly with any issue or question that might arise. We also have NO chores for you at check-out :) This is a benefit that most rentals cannot offer because they are managed by property rental companies or out-of-town owners rather than local individuals. We are also proud to offer personalized advice to travelers about local attractions and events, hikes, and activities suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
