WHY WOULD YOU EVER STAY IN TOWN DEAL WITH NOISE AT ALL HOURS, AND STAY IN A ROOM THAT FEATURES NOTHING? ... when your own secluded cabin, hot tub, hiking, and big views are just 8 minutes away! Welcome to the Secret Shack ... set on private 16 Acres just 8 minutes from downtown Blowing Rock!
The Secret Shack is glued to the living rock ... this 2 Bedroom 1 Bath is set on a small peek with a master bedroom that displays the view with out having to leave the bed. With an 11 foot long, 3 feet deep bay window ... sit, watch, relax, love, and appreciate the world in front of you. The hot tub below the deck offers a chance to privately soak after the hike, the long day, or anything you’ve done at all. Come to the Secret Shack ... and enjoy your self!
The Secret Shack is 400 secluded feet from our other VRBO property, The Big Round Cabin, which is 3 bedrooms / 2.5 baths, with its own HotTub, amazing deck views and its own special memories. If you’d like to have both I provide a discount for guests with a larger gathering to use both cabins at the same time.
We are not a hotel but true to the vacation rental experience, which is we want to share our location with you. We strive to keep our cleaning fees low, and we are generally 1/2 our competition on cleaning fees, but we expect you'll help us keep up with everything as you go as well. Some folks are looking for hotel standard everything or an VRBO just like they stayed at in some big city. Thats not us ... we are catering to those of you who want seclusion, your own piece of heaven and of course the BEST views in Blowing Rock. We are 16 secluded acres in the woods ... our reviews feature guests who enjoy that experience and the occasional guest who doesn't get it and worries they may run into bugs & spiders outside, gets worried about a drive on a gravel mountain road, or didn't get it when we said we are "off the beat path". We are off the beaten path just outside town on secondary mountain roads that cars of ALL type visit us Spring, Summer and Fall, come in enjoy the experience, know what we are about on the way in .... and thats why you booked us. We do not provide any food of any type, we do provide coffee and fixings for it. Thanks for looking at our cabin!
We are providing you a License to use our Cabin similar to that of renting a car, as a licensee you are bound to the cabin rules at all times, and you forgo the rights of a "lease" or "tenant". Violations of our cabin rules can result in your immediate removal from our cabin, by renting our cabin you agree to these terms. If you'd like a full copy of the license please let us know in advance and one will be provided to you.
THE CABIN IS IN THE MOUNTAINS: On a secondary mountain road. The approach to the cabin means that you are comfortable driving a road in the woods, including driving up and down small gravel roads. We have had over 3000 successful stays to our cabins on your Cabin's road with zero incidents, but its not like driving a suburban city street in Raleigh or Charlotte. Take your time, drive slowly, you should be fine. We do not permit motorcycles at this cabin due the grade of the road based on past experiences. Please ask about our other cabins if traveling by motorcycle..
WIFI - Its Satellite based. That means it has a delay and is not ideal for 2 way communication such ZOOM. Second it means that during a storm the weather can cloud out the connection and your WiFi may degrade. Most guests have found it great, streaming is possible if the weather is good, and we’ve had guests work and play in our cabin with out issue, but we do point this out as there are no buried cables or fiber on our remote properties.
Pets : We understand you may want to bring a pet. We do permit small pets under 50lbs, non-shedding breeds. We may approve 2 pets if the total weight is at or below 50lbs of both pets added together and non-shedding. If you are close on the above conditions, talk to us, we do consider how many humans, and pets are together and will make case by case an exception at our sole discretion. All pets require a discussion at the time of booking and agreement to our pet policy.
Fireplace - Cabin is equipped with a gas fireplace, with an automatic timer panel to control the fireplace. We’re here for support on fireplace use as needed.
