The receptionist was really helpful giving recommendations on things to do and there were soaps and hats for purchase in the front lobby. It was about a 30 minute drive to Banner Elk where there's a lot more to do/places to eat. We got there around 10:30pm and the office was closed, but our key and room number/instructions were taped to the lobby door in an envelope so we were able to check in without anyone being there which was nice. It's definitely a rural area, there's minimal cell service depending on where you're standing. It's really perfect for disconnecting and getting in touch with nature.

We found Cross Creek Cabins quite by accident about 10 years ago. Our first visit to Fishing Bear…read morewas dreamy... the cabin with so very cozy with stuffed teddy bears sitting on every shelf and in every nook and cranny, a nicely set dining room table, comfy chairs, a kitchen fully stocked with every imaginable utensil, coffee maker, microwave, piles of fresh towels and pillows, a trunk full of extra snuggly blankets, a shelf full of cards and games, a fire pit and grill outside and lots of quiet, woodsy privacy. Our latest visit just a few months ago was just as special: the Fishing Bear cabin did not disappoint. It was just as quaint and cozy as we remembered it. The property has expanded over the years to include a beautiful little pond fed by a creek which is truly meditative in the morning mist, picnic tables, and by the owner's home, a barn with the sweetest ponies (and a mule!) that you'll ever meet. Cross Creek Cabins is right off the Blue Ridge Parkway and conveniently located near the Linville Caverns, Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock and Tweetsie Railroad. Along the windy road of 221, you'll find some curious little gift shops and mercantiles! Boone is under 30 minutes away. There are several other cabins available on the property, I believe most of the accommodate larger groups. The owners are professional and courteous. At the time, they did not offer wifi, and our little hotspot had a hard time trying to catch a signal... but after all, you're in the mountains to relax, right? :) We've tried other cabins managed by rental companies but there is something special about Cross Creek. This place is our mountain getaway of choice!

We stayed at Oak Tree Cottage. When we arrived there was a large ladder extending from the ground…read moreto the roof line. The owner asked me to keep my Grandson away from it and that someone would be coming to get it. It extended across the deck, so I was a little concerned he might try to climb it. During our stay he turned around to leave the deck and forgot it was there and bumped his head on it. We walked around it all weekend. No one ever came to remove it. Also, there are electric wall heaters in all the bedrooms and living room as well as a propane fueled fireplace in the living room. There are no smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors in the entire cabin. The area is beautiful. There was plenty of utensils and linens. The cabin was very clean. If you don't mind the owner's lack of concern for your safety, it's a nice place to stay.

The cottage was very clean and well decorated. Susan and her husband are third generation hosts, and it shows by the amount of thought and care they put into the places. All of our needs were met without having to ask for anything. She also came by shortly after we arrived to make sure we were getting settled in OK. She checked in later to make sure we had firewood for the fire pit, and also met us as we were leaving to wish us a safe trip home. As a bonus, Susan raises chickens on the property, and supplies the cottages with FRESH eggs. Whether you're headed to the race track, sightseeing, or just getting away for a weekend, I cannot recommend Parrish Mountain Retreat enough. You WON'T be disappointed. Oh, and one more thing. The cottages have a magic trash can... You'll just have to book a stay and check it out for yourself.
