About this cabin rental
Horsin’ Around is a brand-new log cabin at the top of Leatherwood Mountains—perfect for horse lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. This 2-bedroom retreat features a 2-stall barn with 12'x14' pens and separate paddocks (accommodates up to 4 horses), located just steps from the Daniel Boone trailhead. Ride directly onto the Leatherwood trail system and return to your private barn and cozy cabin.
Inside, unwind in front of the gas log fireplace while enjoying Blue Ridge views through the great room’s wall of windows. The master suite offers an air tub and a window seat overlooking the mountains, while the loft includes a 55" TV and Blu-ray player—ideal for movie nights or catching the game. The covered porch features overlook chairs for taking in unforgettable sunsets.
Please note: Leatherwood’s roads are narrow and steep. Only trailers 20 ft or shorter are recommended. Horsin’ Around has space for a 16 ft gooseneck to turn near the barn; longer rigs are not advised. Pens can be temporarily folded to allow more turning space.
Whether you're riding the trails or relaxing indoors, Horsin’ Around delivers the perfect blend of adventure and comfort.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Beautiful view! The home is well taken care of, but felt comfortable and relaxing to have kids and a pet. The customer service was excellent as well! We had one issue that was resolved within an hour and didn't impact our vacation at all. There is no cell service at the cabin itself, but there was good wifi. We enjoyed not having service and utilized the time to truly check out of real life and enjoy spending time together. 10/10 would recommend!

This is a very nice location but keep in mind it is in the middle of nowhere. 1 hour from Blowing Rock. No restaurants around. The one on site is only open Friday nights during the winter. So pack everything you need. Is a great place for horses and riding.

Reviewer Comments:
House was average overall. Very clean but upstairs creaks when walking around or moving on couch, no toiletries provided so don’t forget yours as there is no place close! We did not have horses so barn wasn’t beneficial for us but certainly would be for those who are bringing horses.
