About this property

🐾 Bobcat Run - real log cabin w/ huge hot tub! Near Watauga Lake 🚤 & River 🐟

Beautiful, secluded log cabin. 3 bedroom/2 bath, 1300 square feet. Accommodates 6 adults or a family perfectly. The cabin sits on the back side of Beech Mountain close to the Watuga River drop in, Laurel Creek Waterfall and Watauga Lake. Enjoy two covered porches - one in the front and one in the back. Our cabin offers privacy without total isolation. Easy access off the main road. The large hot tub is private on the rear side of the cabin. We have new outdoor cafe lighting to enjoy while you sit in the hot tub or grill on the gas grill! Everyone loves the fire pit in the evening- it is great for s’mores under the stars! There is a new outdoor table on the front porch to use for playing games, drinking morning coffee or enjoying your meals. The cabin has an easy to use remote control gas fireplace, wifi, cable TV, new washer/dryer, picnic table and stainless steel gas grill.

The Master Bedroom is located downstairs and has a king size bed with an attached bathroom. ADA handrails are installed in this tub/shower. The two upstairs bedrooms each have a queen size bed. There is a TV in the living room and one in the master bedroom. The cabin is well maintained and very clean. It is conveniently located near 3 ski resorts all about 30-60 minutes away. It is only a few miles to tube in the Watauga River near Cove Creek. Enjoy Laurel Creek Falls- a short 10 minute drive from the cabin. You may also enjoy a swimming hole in the Watauga River about a half mile from the cabin off Guy Ford Road.

We welcome pets (limit 2) and have a $50 pet fee payable with reservations. Please crate your pet(s) if you leave the cabin. We have 1 crate available. Pet bowls are provided along with plenty of room for your pet to play in the yard.

Unlike many other cabins, you do not need to start laundry or take away the trash at your departure. We also have a pest control service, monthly, to keep any bugs away, although we have not had any problems. Thank you for considering Bobcat Run! We look forward to hosting you!!!

Secluded mountain cottage

Lovely cottage with nice facilities in secluded spot. Quiet, peaceful and short drive to Boone. Spa temperature a little too high for comfort and we found it difficult to adjust but this did not hinder our stay. Lovely cottage and enjoyed our visit.

Excellent Vacation

Stayed at the Bobcat Run cabin during a ski trip w/ the family. Cabin was excellent! Very clean and roomy for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We encountered an ice storm which made driving on the mountain roads a little sketchy but manageable. Ice storm created a power outage, but the owner was very attentive and had it restored. Owner was very communicative every time we had a question. The hot tub was fantastic each night after long days of skiing. Definitely recommend this cabin

Very Nice Cabin

Very clean and nice cabin. TV didn't work very well. Fireplace wouldn't turn on But it still was a great house. Very clean Only negative was the road and driveway was so steep, it should have noted to us that a all wheel drive is recommended. Part of the road coming in had a partial washout right near the lumber mill, not safe.

A gem of a property!

This was our third time at Bobcat Run. This cabin is very clean and has everything you will need. Well stocked kitchen, plenty of games and seating, comfy beds and a luxury hot tub. We had coffee every morning on the porch listening to the birds. We played countless card games and ended almost every evening with time in the hotub. We made many meals. The location allowed for a visit to Asheville, Beech Mt, Banner Elk, Boone, and Grandfather Mt. The layout of the cabin allowed us to spend time together (2 teens and 2 adults) and have privacy also. It’s a great place and we hope to visit in the fall next time.

Spring in the mountains makes up for the snow and ice of winter

This cabin shows all the signs of being well loved. Everything guests could need has been anticipated, from a tea kettle to toilet paper. Comfortable, cozy, and spotlessly clean describes the place. Our dog even loved the lion statues out front. Last winter was especially hard on our family. We had to cancel once due to health problems, and the owner graciously helped us rearrange our plans. The opportunity to enjoy some quiet time in a charming cabin was just what we needed.

Weekend getaway

We absolutely loved everything about Bobcat Run! From the location, scenery, local sights and attractions to all the simple things the cabin provides which together make for an ideal trip. The oversized hot tub and cozy beds made us never want to leave. The host is excellent and you can tell she poured her heart into the details. We will return, that’s for sure! Thank you!!

Cozy Cabin Get-away

We stayed here for our family's Christmas vacation. The cabin is very cozy. It's away but not too far away from town. We were looking for a place to just get away; not really "do" a lot, including visiting attractions. There are lots of places to hike and the drive to Beech Mountain is not far. The hot tub is really nice and clean. The host is impressively responsive to your inquiries, which we were very grateful for.

Another great stay

This was our third visit to Bobcat Run and we enjoyed it as much as the others! Great location and wonderfully equipped. I do want to note that there are at least 2 cameras outside of the property, one pointed toward the master bedroom window and one facing the parking area that are not disclosed. While I have nothing to hide, this was unsettling for me and I truly hope there are no cameras inside.

Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain Cabin

Bobcat Run is a lovely log cabin nestled in the trees on a mountain ridge. The drive up to the cabin is a bit steep and at the end of a twisty road, but definitely worth it once you arrive. The host of this property also did a great job in explaining everything to help prepare for the stay. The hot tub on the covered patio is wonderful after a day of hiking and the property has all the large beach towels you'll need. The nearby town of Boone, NC has a fun downtown area with many little shops and restaurants. This location is 30 min - 1 hour from many Blue Ridge Mountain parks and sites of interest. Highly recommend this property for your western NC getaway!

Fantastic stay!

We had a fantastic time at Bobcat Run! It was centrally located to all the main places we intended to visit (Boone, Grandfather Mountain, Watauga Lake). The house was very clean and well-stocked, beds were comfy, and the location was peaceful and quiet. No complaints whatsoever! We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in the area.

Mountain Getaway

The property overall was fantastic! I would have given 5 stars, however, there was sand in the hot tub when we arrived - not sure how if it was cleaned prior to us arriving, and the directions were a bit off as Hwy 321 runs north to south and the directions said 'take 321 West out of Boone' - once we found it all was great! Property owner thought of EVERYTHING, especially in the bathrooms! Wonderful cabin, wonderful trip!

About the host

Hosted by Erika Hulse

Host profile image
We live in the Raleigh area of NC and have been going to camp in the High Country area of North Carolina for over 20 years. We hope you enjoy this cabin as much as we do! Every year, we continue to fall in love with the breathtaking scenery and serene atmosphere. There is so much to do in the area, and we know you will want to plan plenty of time to experience everything northwestern NC has to offer!

Why they chose this property

Our cabin is close to all the activities and places you'll want to check out while in the Boone area. There are three skiing locations nearby including Beech Mountain, Sugar and Appalachian. Moreover, we have always enjoyed going to Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and many other local vistas to admire jaw-dropping, one-of-a-kind views. Beyond that, the Watauga River and Lake are mere minutes away for all kinds of recreational water activities, hiking on the Appalachian Trail, and intimate encounters with nature. For a different kind of getaway experience, ladies will enjoy shopping in Boone, Blowing Rock and West Jefferson--the plethora of stores in each town has something for everyone to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is super clean. We also are pet lovers. We know your dog will enjoy playing in the yard in the cool weather.

The cabin is located just off of Hwy 321, with easy access to all area attractions. It is only 20 minutes from downtown Boone and 15 minutes to Valle Crucis and Watauga Lake! The cabin is private but not isolated which is nice. There is fun for all ages in Boone! Enjoy Tweetsie Railroad which has rides and activities for children ages 2-6. There is tubing and skiing for the older teenagers. For seniors who want to beat the heat, there are nice restaurants and cultural events at the University, ASU. The Appalachian Trail is nearby for those who enjoy hiking and exploring. We've equipped the cabin well and it has awesome on-site activities to handle either a quiet romantic getaway or family vacation. We have a giant Jenna, giant rug checkers, puzzles, games, a cooler for picnics and more. We've worked hard to make Bobcat Run a cabin everyone can enjoy and make lifelong memories in.

There are 2 exterior security cameras that are pointed at the driveway. They only monitor the property when vacant. They will be disarmed upon the guests arrival.
