About this cabin rental

WOW, what a top of the ridge view! Hemlock Point is an Appalachian Log Homes cabin built in the vernacular of the historic style. Square logs reminiscent of the Scotch Irish settlers in the 1700's make you feel as if you have stepped back to an earlier time. Large hemlocks, abundant on this property give Hemlock Point cabin its name. Furnished with antiques, a claw foot bathtub, a modern spa hot tub on the deck, natural materials, comfortable furniture, quilts, a soapstone fireplace (albeit gas logs), a real wood fireplace on the outside deck, a gun on the mantle, a variety of varmints hung on the wall (bought at auction)... collections to create an atmosphere of make believe. You are a now in the role of mountain settler, cozy up to the fire and set a spell.


The mountain ridge views from this log home are phenomenal. The breezes of refreshing mountain air are exhilarating. Looking out over 7 to 9 ridges (depends on the day) you can imagine how it looked to 'first nations' peoples and early settlers seeing it for the first time. Daniel Boone traversed these mountain ranges, living just few miles away on the Yadkin River. You certainly will believe that God was at work in building all the mountain's glory. Most of our guests have commented on God's blessings for this space, this mountain, this respite in their lives. Leatherwood Mountains subdivision, a 4000 acre gated community in southwestern Wilkes County, NC, is well known in the horse world for its extensive horse trail system, some of the most rugged in the eastern United States. The 50 miles of trails within the subdivision are perfect for hikers as well as horsemen. The views, the trails, the nature, the glory will abide here for all time.


Hemlock Point Cabin is handicapped 'friendly'. It has a wheelchair ramp, wide doorways on the first level, shower and toilet bars...while not meeting every requirement for your family member that is handicapped, we have made it accessible. Make sure you include ALL of your family on your vacation.


Sitting on the top of a ridge, Hemlock Point cabin's views toward the western mountain ranges encompass up to 7 distant ridges. Hemlock Point cabin is located in private wilderness Leatherwood Mountains subdivision. Being in the wilderness does not mean that one should be without modern comforts. The cabin features WiFi with Streaming Roku television with Netflix and Amazon Prime subscriptions; a well stocked kitchen for your self catering convenience includes both drip and Keurig style coffee makers.

This home was great for my son’s 13th birthday. He wanted mountain getaway and that’s just what we did!

We booked this stay for Thursday-Sunday for myself, my husband, and our son. Upon arrival-the cabin was very nice. We did have trouble getting into the gate, I finally was able to connect to WiFi and find the gate code buried in a message. My own mistake for not reading more carefully before we got there. The listing shows pictures of the basement area, however this section was locked for us. Not a huge deal, but something that is a bit misleading in the photos. We noticed when we got there that some of the windows were missing screens. We only noticed because the screens were stacked against the wall of the screened in porch-but we didn’t think much of it. Friday night the temps dropped and that’s when we discovered an issue with this. Every window that was missing a screen had stink bugs working their way in. We spent the rest of our time in the cabin trying to get rid of them. I messaged the property owner Friday night (after 10, so I didn’t expect a response that same night). I never heard back from her. We checked out Sunday morning and never got anything either in response or regarding check out procedures. Things happen that are outside of the owner’s control sometimes and I would typically be forgiving on something like this-but when you don’t respond at all, that changes things. It was a peak weekend and most things were booked up or had a highly inflated price-so we toughed it out. But had we had another option, we would have stayed elsewhere Saturday night.
