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!

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.

I received a confirmation email, with directions (follow them closely, as it would be very easy to miss the unmarked road). When we arrived, we were escorted to our campsite, which was large, level and fairly secluded. The grounds and facilities are fairly clean and well kept. The only concern was a pack of four dogs who roamed the campground in the morning. They were on the picnic tables and a bit of a nuisance. I mentioned them to the owner. She's aware but apparently not getting support from local authorities, sadly. I'd still recommend this stop as you're exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway.
