About this property

Visit Horsin' Around atop Leatherwood Mountains. This new Log Cabin is a horse lovers dream. Horsin' Around is a beautiful 2 bedroom, newly constructed log home with a 2 stall barn with attached 12'x14' pens, and separate paddocks for turn-out (maximum 4 horses). This perfect horse lovers get-away is located on Wagon Ridge about as close to the Daniel Boone trail head as you can get. Ride directly from this great new rental property onto the Leatherwood Mountains trail system and return to the onsite 2 stall barn, just steps away from this modern, well-equipped log cabin. Relax and take in the view from the overlook chairs waiting on the porch. If Horses aren't your thing this brand new log cabin still has plenty to offer. Relax in front of the gas log fireplace and stone chimney while taking in the views from the great room's wall of windows. Slip away to the loft to watch the game on the 55 inch TV with Blue Ray. An air tub awaits in the master bathroom. A window seat in the master bedroom provides an ideal location to enjoyl Horsin' around's never ending views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Guests traveling with trailers or other long vehicles should be aware that the roads inside Leatherwood are narrow, steep, mountain roads that are not conducive to vehicles or trailers longer than a two horse bumper pull trailer or a goose neck trailer less than 20 feet long. Leatherwood is not responsible for any resulting damage.
Horsin’ Around is located at the end of a short narrow road. There is sufficient room for a 16 foot gooseneck trailer to make the turn around the barn, but nothing longer. When approaching Horsin’ Around, circle clockwise around the barn. If additional room is needed to complete the turn, the corners of the pens can be unchained and folded out of the way.

Out of the way!

This is a very nice location but keep in mind it is in the middle of nowhere. 1 hour from Blowing Rock. No restaurants around. The one on site is only open Friday nights during the winter. So pack everything you need. Is a great place for horses and riding.

Wonderful stay!

My husband and I booked this place specifically for the seclusion! We wanted a weekend getaway for our anniversary while still being close to the “city”. This place was perfect! Very clean and everything you would want when coming to a VRBO! It’s 30 minutes from Wilkesboro and an hour from Boone. Some reviews mentioned not enough towels, TP or paper towels. There were 8-10 towels, 2 rolls of TP per bathroom and 2 rolls of paper towels. The only thing we lacked was baggies / foil to wrap up left overs. Reviews suggested 4x4 for the driveway and while we didn’t have any ice or snow in mid February we did use 4x4 to get out of the drive a couple of times. At first we were bothered by the lack of covering over the hot tub…until we went in at night and saw all the stars! That would’ve been lost with a covering! Beautiful place! Everything you need for a romantic weekend!

Stunning but remote

We spent more time in the car getting to places than i would like. I am mildly disabled so hiking the trails on the mountain was difficult. Driving to towns and attractions seemed to take forever, often on gravel roads that were poorly posted. We should have booked something closer to Boone, Blowing Rock or Banner Elk but i would hate to loose that view from the house. Lack of cell phone reception was problematic.

Beautiful views and very quiet

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. Great views. Off the very quiet road near top of resort. House was nice but a bit dated. Thousands of dead flying bugs on high window ledge. Wet sheets and towels in dryer. Very pet friendly . Overall, we had a great time. We also thought it would have been hight but altitude was about 1100 feet at bottom and about 1600ft by the house. Trails had a lot of ticks so spray yourself and pets before hikining. About 40 minutes or so from Blowing Rock. They had live music at the cafe which was nice. I do recommend but probably would choose somewhere higher up and closer to blowing rock to have cooler weather. Probably a great fall or spring place to stay.

Wonderful mountain getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent several wonderful, relaxing days here. Home was very comfortable with wonderful views from both inside and outside. House was in great condition, very clean. Only real shortcoming was the limited size of the outdoor porches - while providing wonderful views, they were rather small with only room for a few chairs.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our little cabin at the top of the property just off the Daniel Boone trail. The 2-stall barn and turnouts were perfect for our horses and we enjoyed our rides as well as our downtime at the cabin and on the Leatherwood property.

The cabin was nice and had beautiful views — especially from the window seat in the primary bedroom. The only negative is that the property should have better pest control.

Excellent View-small cabin

We had several issues-1) high price for 2 bedrooms; 2) roaches in several rooms; 3) grill had 3 burners but only 2 worked; 4) cookware was very poor-dirty pans, chipped dishes; 5) Notified front desk regarding conditions-no response; 6) gas fireplace started at times but not all the time; View was excellent, cabin was clean, furniture very comfortable. Overall condition was good but needed updating.

Very Good but could be excellent

Could be a 5 but a 3.5 this week. Likes: House layout, big windows, ceiling beams, loft w/desk, couches and TV, comfy bed and bedrooms, roomy kitchen, nice new large cutting board, coffee grinder, great ridge line hiking trails, adequate small hot tub, gas logs, nice TV with great on demand options, great internet. Dislikes/needs: uncomfortable, loose toilet seats; poor lighting in kitchen—especially stove area; gas grill grates were very rusty, grill brush very greasy; no sponge; very worn out small frying pan; very poor chef knife; tiny coffee pot; need wine glasses, could use a small outdoor eating area; upstairs glass shower door needs adjustment; need kleenex.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was average overall. Very clean but upstairs creaks when walking around or moving on couch, no toiletries provided so don’t forget yours as there is no place close! We did not have horses so barn wasn’t beneficial for us but certainly would be for those who are bringing horses.

Not as advertised. Way overcharged. Do not recommend.

Upon arrival to Horsin Around, we found the back door latch completely broken. We could not open from the inside or outside. Maintenance was called and they arrived in a timely fashion and made the required repairs. No apology. Didn't seem to care. Not a great first impression for a place advertised as a luxury getaway that was very expensive. We also discovered, when trying to connect my husband's laptop so he could work, that the wifi password did not work because someone changed the router, but did not change the book. "Maintenance" had no idea what we were talking about and were not helpful. There was a QR code on the bottom of the router that, at least, allowed us to connect our phones as their is no cell service on this mountain. My husband eventually used his phone to create a hub to use his laptop. This should not be what guests have to do at a luxury getaway. Next up: brought ingredients to make mixed drinks - blender in cabinet completely broken. The entire side cracked and the piece that holds in blade broken....the top of the blender was found melted in the bottom of the dishwasher. There was an unreasonable amount of flies in the house even considering that it has a horse paddock nearby. I estimate there were at least 30 dead flies and approximately 2 dozen live flies all over the house. Gross. The air tub that was bragged about in the advertisement did not work and is probably not safe. I took a bath, pressed the button to turn on air as described in book...nothing. Again, my husband us handy so he removed the access panel to discover it had been unplugged. He plugged it in and voila bubbles. One problem, it wouldn't shut off...probably why it was unplugged in the first place so we unplugged it again to turn it off. Felt unsafe and unpleasant. Lastly, as we were preparing to depart and loaded the dishwasher we realized that there was no dishwasher detergent. We left a note and we left several complaints at the visitors center, through VRBO, and with the supposed "rental manager". We have not heard a word back. No apology. No concern. No opportunity to make it right. Not even assurances that they fixed these problems for future guests. I will never stay at Leatherwood Resorts again and I would advise anyone who inquires to stay clear. Abysmal. Marie & Anthony Lammons
