About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
A retreat is waiting.
Our home is a cozy cabin tucked up a lane, which is unknown even unto most locals. Our family rescued this 1970's cabin and have brought it back to life. It has an inviting master with half bath, and a large second bedroom which, is spacious including a twin over double bunk bed and a twin with rails, that can be added to accommodate a younger child. The living area is open with a seating area and TV that can be seen from kitchen or dining as well. The walls are white pine tung and grove, and give a warm cozy feel. The kitchen is open to the dining, and leads to the sun room complete with a foosball table. We are surrounded by woodland fauna and deer are a regular sight. Coffee on the porch is a favorite for us. We also have a fire pit and outdoor seating. You can walk down the lane to our local convenience shop if you forgot anything, or if you just want to grab a homemade sandwich, burger or pizza. Our kids love walking down to pick from the ice cream treats. Roaring gap is nestled between Sparta and Elkin. Three golf courses are an easy drive away. Close to Stone mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway , and Camp Cheerio-- there is no end to the adventures you can have.

Wonderful stay!
This is a beautiful, charming home! Since we left, our kids have asked 100 times to move into the "cozy cottage in the mountains." :)
It was very clean, organized, and tidy and we felt like we were truly able to escape! It was magical. We had such a relaxing time and the hosts were kind and welcoming and wonderful communicators.
The home had everything we needed and everything we wanted! We absolutely cannot wait to return and we are so grateful for their hospitality.
P.S. The makings for s'mores were a HUGE hit and they were gobbled up on night one! Very appreciated!

Wonderful stay close to Stone Mountain
We booked this cabin very last minute when a forecast full of rain and cold temperatures made us decide to alter our plans for the last 3!days of our two week camping trip. Finding this cabin saved our vacation! Jennifer was a wonderful, responsive host, the cabin was immaculate and comfortable with everything we needed. Check in and check out we’re seamless. It was only ten minutes to Stone Mountain State Park, and during breaks in the weather we were still able to get in wonderful hikes. We will definitely stay here, again!

Secluded and just what we wanted
The host was easy to communicate with. Check in instructions were simple and clear. The property was just what we were looking for: secluded down a wooded and rhododendron filled dead end road. There was a convenience store just a short walk down the lane. 3 miles from a dollar store and only a short drive into town. We had family in Elkin and drove there daily. We love eating at the 67 Pizza buffet. The house is great. An older cottage but restored and decorated very tastefully. Still needs a few repair touches, like the second bedroom had a leak when it rained. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we could need for cooking and we fixed almost every meal at home. Well stocked with coffee and teas and seasonings and flour, sugar, butter etc. We cooked out one day for our family who lived there and then roasted marshmallows. There are board games and puzzles and great toys for the kids.
The enclosed porch was great for entertaining the kids with foosball. Overall it was a perfect place for our visit.
