Grandfather’s Gem – Cozy Cabin w/ Hot Tub

Welcome to Grandfather’s Gem Getaway!

Tucked away in the peaceful Mill Ridge community between Boone and Banner Elk, this cozy mountain cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and convenience. Surrounded by lush rhododendrons and cool mountain air, the home invites you to unwind in true High Country style.

Sip your morning coffee on the deck, take a dip in the large outdoor hot tub, or gather around the firepit under the stars. Inside, rustic wood accents and warm oak floors create an inviting retreat after a day of mountain adventures.

The living area features a wood-burning stove, a flat-screen Smart TV, and open flow into the dining area and kitchen. With three bedrooms and two full baths, there’s room for everyone—two queen bedrooms and a twin room perfect for kids.

Located just 10 minutes from Boone or Banner Elk, the home offers quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad, and several popular ski resorts including Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain.

Guests enjoy seasonal access to community amenities—a swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, and scenic walking trails. The home is pet-friendly (max 2 dogs with fee) and includes A/C, laundry, firewood, and free Wi-Fi.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway or a quiet mountain escape, Grandfather’s Gem Getaway offers the perfect home base for exploring North Carolina’s beautiful High Country.
