Hillside Heaven

Welcome to Hillside Heaven, a newly renovated Blue Ridge log cabin where mountain views, river adventures, cozy fireplaces, and plenty of family fun come together for an unforgettable High Country getaway.

Perched on the hillside just above and across the road from the New River, this spacious three-story cabin puts you close to outdoor adventure while giving you plenty of reasons to stay right at home—with a private hot tub, pool table, fire pit, game room, multiple decks, and beautiful mountain scenery.

One of the highlights of staying at Hillside Heaven is easy access to the New River, one of the oldest rivers in the world. Nearby Big Hill Community Park offers river access just a short drive from the cabin, making it easy to spend spring, summer, and fall days tubing, rafting, fishing, or simply enjoying the water. Local outfitters offer tubing and rafting excursions as well as guided fishing trips on the New River and other nearby waterways.

Warm Log Cabin Charm
Step inside the main level and you’re greeted by everything you hope to find in a mountain cabin: soaring vaulted ceilings, tongue-and-groove woodwork, hardwood floors, exposed beams, and a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace. Settle into the comfortable living area for a movie on the HDTV, gather around a crackling fire on chilly mountain evenings, or simply enjoy the view through the glass doors overlooking the surrounding mountains.

Those doors open onto a spacious open-air deck where you can sip your morning coffee in the cool mountain air, enjoy an afternoon with a good book, or fire up the gas grill for dinner. Outdoor seating and dining space make the deck a natural gathering place throughout your stay.

The adjacent kitchen and dining area continue the warm cabin atmosphere with wood ceilings and exposed beams. There’s room for the whole crew at mealtime, with seating for 12 guests: eight around the dining table and four more at the kitchen bar.

Also on the main level is the primary King suite, complete with an HDTV and private ensuite full bathroom.

Room to Spread Out
Head upstairs to find two inviting Queen bedrooms, each featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, full closets, and direct access to a shared Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The spacious bathroom includes both a jetted tub and separate shower, giving everyone a comfortable place to unwind after a day exploring the mountains.

Downstairs is where the fun really begins. The lower-level bedroom offers two sets of Twin-over-Twin bunk beds, making it a great space for kids or younger guests, along with an ensuite full bathroom that can also be accessed from the game room.

The adjoining den and game room is ready for family tournaments and laid-back evenings with a pool table, Nintendo Switch, HDTV, gas-log fireplace, comfortable sofas, and a collection of games. Whether you’re visiting on a rainy afternoon or winding down after a day on the slopes, there’s plenty here to keep everyone entertained.

Hot Tub Nights & Fireside Memories
Glass doors from the lower level lead onto a covered deck featuring one of the cabin’s most popular amenities: the private hot tub. Sink into the warm water after hiking, skiing, rafting, or sightseeing and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting around you.

Exterior steps lead down to the yard and the newly updated wood-burning fire pit, perfect for roasting marshmallows, telling stories, and lingering outside beneath the mountain sky. 

Hillside Heaven also offers central heat and air conditioning, WiFi, a washer and dryer, TVs and a DVD player, two fireplaces, a gas grill, and plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces where your group can gather or spread out.

Adventure in Every Season
When you’re ready to explore, Hillside Heaven makes a convenient home base for many of the High Country’s favorite destinations. Downtown Boone is only about 8 miles away, while Blowing Rock is approximately 15 miles from the cabin. Tweetsie Railroad and Appalachian Ski Mountain are conveniently located between the two towns.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is less than 10 miles away, putting scenic drives, hiking trails, overlooks, and picnics within easy reach. Valle Crucis, home to the original Mast General Store and beautiful riverfront Valle Crucis Community Park, is about 16 miles away, while Grandfather Mountain is approximately 20 miles away. Winter brings even more adventure, with Hawksnest Snow Tubing and Zipline about 21 miles away, Sugar Mountain Resort approximately 25 miles away, and Beech Mountain Resort around 30 miles away.

Whether your perfect mountain vacation means floating the New River on a summer afternoon, exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway in fall, soaking in the hot tub after a day on the slopes, or gathering around the fireplace on a cool mountain evening, Hillside Heaven combines the timeless character of a log cabin with the comforts and entertainment of a modern vacation home.
