About this property

Boone is BACK and new LOW rates for our cozy cabin - hot tub, hikes and nature!!

Spring/Summer is the BEST at our cabin! 5* reviews and new low prices make our cabin the BEST choice for your relaxing vacation!
If you're looking to be in a busy place surrounded by stores, restaurants, and people then this is NOT the place for you. If you're looking to enjoy nature, take a hike, have a cookout over a fire by the creek, roast marsh mellows, play some horseshoes, do some fishing in paddle boats, see fireflies, hummingbirds, deer, wild turkey, toes in the cool creek, pool time, hammock time, star gazing, NEW hot tub soaking, and family time then THIS is the place for you!! I built this cabin as a place to gather with family and friends, to reconnect with those you love, and to relax and find peace - I think you will find all that here. Tennis and pickleball court!!!! Official Holidays will require a 3 night's stay. Thanksgiving and Christmas will require a 4 or 5-night stay.. Weekends in the Summer will require a 3 night stay!

This beautiful custom built log home is located just outside of Boone in the gated community of Powder Horn Mountain in Deep Gap, NC. 'Heaven in the Hills' is a 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath cabin with the BEST view on the mountain! It offers 2 large decks, a screen porch, and a Hot Tub to sit outside and watch the ever-changing sky or the spectacular star show on a clear night. You may even see deer, wild turkey and plenty of other wildlife just outside your door! This home has Heat & Air conditioning, Gas Log Fireplace, a fully appointed Kitchen with Dishwasher, Microwave, and Flat Surface Stove, Outdoor Gas Grill, Washer/Dryer, 4 TV's with Satellite Receivers (my husband's idea!), and plenty of board games to play with the family! Pillow Top Mattresses and a Private Bath for each bedroom makes this the perfect place to share with friends and family. No worries - All bed linens and towels are provided.
FREE night with weekly rental! Make your reservations today for summer fun!

Great mountain house for the family!

Our family had the best time staying at this mountain house! The layout was great for our two boys! It was very peaceful gated community with a wonderful, hot tub and clubhouse where we spent time playing foosball pool and ping-pong. We will definitely be back.

Amazing view

This was our first getaway is over a year and this place did not disappoint. The views from the deck were amazing. The hot tub was perfect and relaxing during those cold but sunny days. The home is beautiful and has everything that you need. We even enjoyed a few inches of Snow during the last day of our stay. Thank you for making our stay just what we needed. We will be back.

Hot tub heaven

This is a beautiful cabin, and we really enjoyed our time here. My kids loved the hottub, my mom loved the stencils on the walls, and I enjoyed the wonderful view. This cabin has everything you need and is relatively easy to get to. We will be back!

Amazing views from a terrific house!

The house, the rooms, the hot tub, the view ... all of it ...even better then hoped for in every way. Just enough space and just enough common area for our family of 6 to play games, take naps, relax in the hot tub, etc. Location was exotic in the truly mountainous community but well maintained and easy to navigate. Travel time into Boone was a bit of a commitment but we just made more decisions ahead of time and got what we needed in fewer trips. Historically, we've always looked for the next / new / better place but we all discussed the idea of returning to this property rather than look for another. Terry responded to each of my questions promptly and thoroughly. The house was decorated thoroughly for Christmas as well - it was terrific. Highly recommend it.

Terry was very accommodating and quickly responded to any questions we had! The place doesn’t disappoint with its views! One note for the future is I wished one bedroom would be upgraded to a king size bed! Other than that, we will book again!

As close to heaven as it gets!!!

We had an absolutely beautiful stay!!! Cabin was very cozy, beautiful!!! We explored parts of Boone, mostly trail hunting and the water hole spots. We couldn't find the spot in the pictures but we ended up at the Upper falls and a few smaller spots. The area is stunning!!!

Holiday stay

We were drawn to the scenic beauty of the house. We were looking for a quaint and cozy place to stay while we skied for the weekend and this house delivered. Gorgeous views, lovely hot tub, and just a few minutes drive to Boone. Would highly recommend Terry and the cabin. Host was very accommodating and very kind to talk to. Hope to be back soon! Thank you for letting us stay!

Perfect Mtn Weekend!

The view from this house was absolutely stunning! I would definitely stay here again, but with plans to stay at the house more. Grocery stores and restaurants are a 20-30min drive which is perfectly fine, but we did not plan accordingly for that so just a heads up! Would definitely stay here again- especially in the warmer months as the neighborhood has a beautiful lake, pool, clubhouse, etc

Best Rental Ever!

In my experience, rentals don't always live up to the photos on the listing. This rental is absolutely not the case. Matter of fact, the photos didn't even do it justice. It was GORGEOUS! Extremely clean, remote, quiet, scenic, and just overall amazing. New appliances, great hot tub, fire table, etc. Very happy with our stay!

Absolutely blessed time and breathtaking views

I had always wanted to see “fall” in the mountains and booked this beautiful cabin as my 60th birthday present for my wife and me!! Wow wow wow !! I prayed and God answered 🙏 From literally the best Mountain View cabin we have ever stayed in to the priceless memories around the fire pit during spectacular sunrises and sunsets and the fantastic customer service from Terry in between… everything was amazing!! The neighborhood has numerous great trails and we saw wildlife almost every day night … Thank you God and Terry for a great 60th birthday present … We are truly blessed and plan on being back and sharing this heaven in the hills gem with our family and friends!!

About the host

Hosted by Terry Thompkins

Host profile image
My name is Terry and my husband, Jeff and I live in Wilmington, NC. I grew up in upstate New York but moved to Raleigh and then to Wilmington when I was younger. We first went to Powder Horn Mountain when our kids were about 7 and 10 and had the best family vacation we have ever had. We loved getting out in the woods, hikng, fishing, animal watching and just getting back to pure family time. We returned every summer and then had the opportunity to buy a lot and build our own dream cabin. How lucky and blessed we are!
We have tried to make this cabin a cozy retreat for all who come to find peace and re-connect with nature and your loved ones.

Why they chose this property

We built our dream cabin on the most beautiful spot on our mountain. The views from our deck can rival any others around!

What makes this property unique

You can make your stay as busy or lazy as you wish! Tackle the trails on our mountain or sit back in the hammock and read a good book. Then after dinner a long soak in the hot tub with the stars shinning above is heavenly!
