About this cabin rental
***Welcome to Celtic Cabin!***
Discover a unique and convenient location adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 288 and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Enjoy easy access to the High Country's most popular attractions, with downtown Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railroad, Appalachian Ski Mountain, and Moses Cone Park/Bass Lake just 4-6 miles away. Downtown Boone, Boone Golf Club, Appalachian State University, and Price Lake are only 6-8 miles from the cabin. Grandfather Mountain and the Scottish Highland Games are also a short 22-mile drive away.
Celtic Cabin is easy to find, located just a half-mile off the Parkway in a well-marked, quiet, private mountain community at the end of a flat, paved cul-de-sac, surrounded by mature rhododendrons and hardwood trees. This one-level cabin features a separate attached 2-car garage, making it perfect for skiers in the winter. The home has no steps, and a ramp with handrails at the front entrance ensures smooth mobility for all guests.
The rustic open interior boasts log walls, hardwood and carpeted floors, and tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings in the living and dining areas. Celtic Cabin includes a fully equipped kitchen and a laundry nook with a washer and dryer. The dining table expands to seat 6-8 guests. The living room's centerpiece is a floor-to-ceiling gas log stone fireplace with an easy on/off switch. The cabin offers cozy, comfortable furnishings and thoughtful decor adorned with fun Celtic and North Carolina Mountain accents.
For entertainment, the living room has a large flat-screen Smart TV for local stations or movies. Each of the three bedrooms also has a TV, allowing guests to choose their own programs. A selection of books, magazines, puzzles, cards, and board games is available for socializing with family and friends during those occasional rainy days.
At an elevation of 3,900 feet, Celtic Cabin truly shines with its outdoor spaces and activities. The front of the cabin features a flagstone patio surrounded by a beautiful terraced garden, complete with a picnic table and charcoal grill for outdoor cooking. The private backyard overlooks mature mountain woods and the Blue Ridge Parkway, offering stunning fall views and a long-range seasonal view of Grandfather Mountain. Guests may even spot an occasional visiting deer or wild turkey.
The backyard is perfect for fun activities, featuring a porch swing, hammock, horseshoe pitch, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs. The expanded back deck includes an umbrella picnic table, rocking chairs, and a 7-person hot tub for relaxation. From the deck, you can hear the distant whistle of the Tweetsie steam train. For bikers and hikers, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail are just a stone's throw away.
We welcome all our guests and encourage you to visit our family-friendly Celtic Cabin to start making lifelong memories!

Beautiful property and very well located to many attractions, activities, and restaurants. Perfectly shaded so even when it was warm out we could still enjoy being outside. When we had an issue with our door code they were quick to handle it. Only thing we saw that people may want to be aware of was lots of spiders/webs and a few hornets nests, but they didn't bother us at all!

The cabin is located in a gorgeous area with beautiful trees and a quiet road. The cabin was a perfect size for our family of four and could have easily housed two more guests. We prepared breakfast daily in the kitchen and one dinner. We utilized the hot tub and the swing set while looking at the fall foliage. The cabin is in need of updating and cleaning in a few spots. All of the pots and pans are non stick but have been severely damaged by utensil scrapes and have pieces of metal detaching from them. Recommend a complete new set. The sheets had some stains and there were spider webs in the master bath. The pillows are clearly old and need a refresh and the mattress is of low quality and stiff.We did have an issue getting check in instructions, which had to be prompted and the key code was incorrect on arriving. Both of these were rectified immediately. All in all, it was a great stay due to the price relative to others in the area and provided us ample space to relax.

It was a very cozy cabin. It was clean and it had all that we needed to cook and enjoy our stay. The televisions are too small for my taste, but who is there to watch tv. Enjoyed the jacuzzi, fire pit and the beat thing is that it snowed.
We do have one complain there wasn't anywhere to throw the garbage outside.
