Willow Ridge Hideaway Fully Renovated Log Cabin · 10 Min to Boone · Hot Tub

Willow Ridge Hideaway is a fully renovated log cabin in Willow Creek Estates, ten minutes from downtown Boone. New kitchen, four redone bathrooms, a brand-new hot tub, a stone fire pit and a gas grill. It sleeps 10, welcomes dogs, and sits about as centrally as a High Country cabin can.

Renovated Throughout - the kitchen is new, with 2025 LG appliances (refrigerator, gas range, microwave, dishwasher), quartz counters, subway tile and a large island with seating. All four bathrooms have been redone with new vanities, tile and fixtures, including two glass walk-in showers with rainfall heads and, in the main-level en-suite, heated tile floors and a heated towel rack. The hot tub went in new in 2026, the stone fire pit is new, and the paint is fresh throughout. A full-size LG washer and dryer, a gas grill and two propane patio heaters round it out.

A Central Base - downtown Boone and Appalachian State are about ten minutes away. So are Banner Elk and Valle Crucis, home of the original Mast General Store. Blowing Rock is about twenty minutes, and Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain ski resorts about twenty-five. The Willow Valley Executive Par 3 golf course is directly across the street, open to the public with walk-ins accepted. A car is recommended and free parking is available on site.

The Cabin - three finished levels, 2,229 square feet, 3.5 bathrooms and two en-suite bedrooms, under vaulted pine ceilings with a stacked stone fireplace.

Main level: the new kitchen opens into the living and dining areas, with a bedroom and a fully renovated en-suite bath. A powder room and the laundry closet sit off the hallway.

Upper level: a second bedroom under a vaulted ceiling with a leather loveseat and a renovated en-suite bath, plus an adjoining loft with a sofa and a desk.

Lower level: a game room with air hockey, foosball, a cabinet dartboard, a game console, board games, a built-in bunk nook sleeping three, a sectional sofa and a full bathroom. Its own mini-split, and a door straight out to the hot tub.

The Setting - the cabin sits back on a sloping, wooded lot with real privacy on all sides. This is a forest setting rather than a long-range view — deep green shade in summer, real color in October, and quiet enough at night that you will hear the trees.

The Outdoors - the hot tub sits on the covered lower patio, sheltered from rain and snow, with Adirondack chairs and a propane heater alongside. Up on the deck there is a gas grill, more seating and a second heater. Down the slope, a stone fire pit on its own gravel terrace.
