About this property

The last slice of Ginger Cake Acres


  • Our mountain log cabin hideaway is nestled among a giant
    rhododendron thicket in beautiful Ginger cake Acres. This
    luxurious A-frame log cabin provides a private rustic experience
    with elegant charm. Ours was the last cabin built by the original
    developer, thus the name "The Last Slice". This casual friendly
    mountain community is in the midst of all the attractions of the
    Blue Ridge Parkway and North Carolina Mountains.
    The 4000 foot altitude ensures spectacular fall colors, beautiful
    spring wild flowers, cool breezes throughout the summer and a cozy
    fireplace to warm you through the winter.
    If you want to feel totally private and isolated just stay on the
    large deck surrounded by the woods or in the great room with it's
    lofted ceiling and wall of glass.
    The cabin offers two bedrooms with full beds, a full bath, laundry,
    and large great room with fireplace and fully equipped kitchen all
    on the main floor. We also offer a landline with free long distance
    as well as DirectTV on our 54in. Samsung Smart TV in the great room.
    Upstairs there is a large loft bedroom with 2 queen beds as well as a tv with DirectTV.
    We are just minutes from Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls,
    Linville Gorge and Linville Caverns.
    Nearby mountain communities such as Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Beech
    Mountain, Valle Crusis and Boone offer a wide variety of food, shopping
    and numerous festivals. Five Golf Courses and Four Ski Resorts within
    twenty minutes offer downhill skiing, tubing, sledding, snowboarding
    and ice skating.Gingercake offers miles of pathways and winding
    roads for walking and biking.
    Pets considered, no smoking inside! We invite you to enjoy the "Last Slice" of Gingercake Acres!

A great place to stay on the east side of the Linville Gorge that’s located in the best hiking in the state. We loved the cabin and it was just what we needed for our hiking and we plan on coming back.

The host was in communication with me the whole time. They had a lot of snow the weekend we went and offered to let us change our dates but we decided to go anyways. We got snowed in Saturday and didn’t make our snow tubing appointment cause we couldn’t get our car out of the driveway but the cabin was perfect for our group. Plenty of room and board and card games to play. We will definitely be back again a d are already planning our trip next year!

Relaxing mornings waking up, making coffee, sitting on the porch and listening to the birds. Fire pit was a great place to tell jokes and hang out. And the hikes nearby were all amazing. Everything we needed out a cabin

Gingercake weekend

The house has a nice location surrounded by forest canopy. Lots of comfortable seating inside and out. I slept soundly hearing only crickets(?) and birds. We ventured out to meet up with friends in the neighborhood, there was everything we needed besides groceries. It was a great weekend.

Great mountain location, needs additional management

It was a great location, with a lot of space. The linens did not seem fresh, towels were not in any restrooms (we had to search and find them in the laundry room). It was a great space, just needs to be cleaned/managed better to justify cost.

Quiet and secluded

We only needed a place to relax in the evenings and get a good night's rest after the days' activities, and this place delivered. I am a light sleeper that lives where everyone has 10's of acres and I felt at home here. There were only 2.5 of us, but this place can sleep 6 very comfortably. The 4th bed is only conducive for a kid or 2. The cabin was well stocked. The cabinets/shelves were filled with dishware, glasses, coffee maker, crockpot, etc. The table seats 4, but there are TV trays and side tables in the den. This is an older cabin with older cabin quirks. It isn't as refined as a lot of options, but it is also priced accordingly. It is a nice proximity to skiing, Linville Caverns, Pisgah Forest, etc. There is a local trail head, a large deck & lots of chairs around the fire pit - plenty of outside activities right out the back door.
