Good things really do come in small packages!! Do not miss this absolutely adorable cabin situated near world class fishing, hiking and climbing and just a short drive from downtown Blowing Rock or Linville. Located near the Wilson Creek wilderness area and Grandfather mountain state park, this cabin would be wonderful for the outdoor enthusiast that wants to get away from it all! Don't let the square footage fool you, this one bedroom, one bath cabin feels very spacious with vaulted ceilings and plenty of windows to take in the gorgeous surroundings and seasonal long range layered mountain views. Very nicely decorated, and comes fully furnished! Just bring a suitcase and move right in!
