Baird's Creek Cabin - Willow Valley Boone NC Cabins If you are looking for a cozy cabin with easy access and the perfect outdoor space, you will find it here at Baird's Creek Cabin. Just minutes from Appalachian State University and downtown Boone, this home features a wonderful outdoor area and is just steps from Willow Creek golf course. The comfortable furnishings and versatile floor plan make this home a great choice for groups of two to six. Step into the cabin, and you are greeted by vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and a lovely mountain stone fireplace. The sunny, open floor plan is very conducive to family interaction, and you will find whimsical touches throughout. The master bedroom is on this level and features a king size bed with pillow-top mattress, perfect for waking up to the sound of the creek trickling past the back yard. The second bedroom is also on this floor, with queen size bed and adjoining bath. Upstairs, you will find the loft area, complete with Foosball table for kids of all ages to enjoy. There is also a set of twin bunk beds and a full bath. This space is a great rainy day spot, with satellite television and video game system. Most guests, however, choose to spend their time outside, relaxing on the rocking chair porch out front, or in the back yard. The deck behind the cabin leads down to the level lawn, perfect for kids to run, or perhaps some croquet. Evenings are a great time to roast marshmallows while huddled around the fire pit. There is even a picnic table, perfect for meals prepared on the gas grill. A brand new hot tub has been installed for guests to soak in. Best of all, there is the creek that borders the back of the property, with woods on the other side accessed by a new footbridge. This cabin is conveniently located less than five minutes from downtown Boone, the ASU campus, and Valle Crucis. Even better, you can walk right across the street to the Willow Creek golf course, a popular public course to walk or ride for a quick nine or eighteen holes. And in winter, the access doesn't get much easier than this location. Additional Notes: - Please be aware that Hurricane Helene washed away the ornamental walking bridge and much of the lawn. The home is looking great and will be ready for guests in late November. The yard will take additional time to have the grass return and to regain its typical scenic atmosphere. The exterior propane tank was also damaged and will be repaired as quickly as possible. The gas fireplace will not be functional until this line is removed from the web listing.
