Photos and Description of the Bakersville vacation cabin rental
1 bedroom (queen), Loft for kids

Secluded mountain cabin at 3800 ft in a hollow on 60 acres surrounded by the Pisgah Natl Forest. It's cool here when it's roasting in the Piedmont. Things to do without getting in your car: hike to the mountain top, climb on big-as-a-house rock formations, bicycle down the road. Fish for bluegill & bass in the pond, pick blueberries, listen to song birds & owls. Sit by a creek & read. Relax on the deck with a glass of wine & watch the sun set over the mountains. Look for deer and wild turkeys. Take a professionally guided photography tour. 10-15 minutes away: gallery hop, catch trout in downtown Bakersville , go rafting, buy gourmet goat cheeses at Oak Moon Creamery. 20-30 minutes away: drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, go gem mining, hike the Appalachian Trail, go fly fishing with Rivers Edge Outfitters, visit Penland Gallery & take a tour of Penland School of Craft, visit TRAC Gallery, & artist studios, go golfing. What you can’t do: easily connect to work and other people you need a vacation from.

About Mary Vogel

I am a professional photographer with a studio in Bakersville, I primarily photograph art for the large artist community here and I also do portrait work. I share my 60 acres with my wife Allison

Mary Vogel purchased this cabin in 2005
Why Mary Vogel chose Bakersville

I live on my 60 acres (in the front). We placed our cabin out of sight and sound with the intent to use it for family ( I have 10 sibs). In the mean time we thought it would be a great vacation rental as well. This has proven to be true due to the fun and pleasure of meeting people from all over the world. The Appalachian Mountains are unsurpassed in their beauty, peace and quiet. This area is home to the Penland School of Crafts, and world renowned artists

What makes this cabin unique

First I'll describe my land: 60 acres surrounded by mountain and forest, very green in the summer, snow in the winter. There are 2 creeks that pass directly next to the cabin and a small waterfall outside the bedroom window. The view from the deck is pure rolling green landscape with a small pond (very meditative). The hiking trails start nearby on my property and snake through the mountains for miles. Bicyclists bring their road bikes for the challenge and beauty and some come to ride in the 'Roan Moan' century and metric century. Some folks just stay and hang out, never leaving once they get here. The driving routes are gorgeous, the Appalachian Trail is nearby as well as Blue Ridge Parkway.

In the heart of the blue ridge mountains with stunning mountain top views and valleys. From the top of Roan Mountain 20 miles away to the Blue Ridge Parkway, also 20 miles away in the opposite direction. The Estatoe river offers class I and II rapids perfect for little kids or leisurely fun for the big folks, numerous hiking trails, twisty windy roads along mountain ridges and valleys. This area is known worldwide for it's artists and craftspeople. Most of the scenic driving passes their studios and many welcome drop in visitors. I am an avid bicyclist and welcome all levels to join me. The Burnsville metric and Roan Moan Century are 2 huge rides in this area, call for details.

Golf: Grassy Creek Country Club for the golf inclined with a lovely restaurant. Top notch chef, and I'm fussy. Robin is her name. 30 minutes away from BirdTown.

Ski: Winter skiing at Sugar and Beech Mountain. 10 miles as the crow flies, but you have to drive all the way around the mountain to get to it: about1 hour.

Bellissima!

As a sometimes travel writer, I've covered countless miles over the past two decades, and Little Bird Cabin is unquestionably among the most memorable places in which I've stayed.

Whether you're seeking solitude, romance, or rejuvenating time with your family, you're likely to find what you're seeking in this lovely, well-cared for cabin alongside Soapstone Creek. Mary and Alli's thoughtful touches and artistic sensibilities grace the clean and cozy cabin. And though checking to see that you've all that you need, their graciousness and the cabin's setting provide privacy too.

My husband (then-boyfriend) and I awakened to spectacular views of mist rising over blue mountains, and we were lulled to sleep by the creek's gentle murmur. We're hoping to return someday to Little Bird Cabin, and in the meantime are sustained -- in more ways than can herein be described -- by memories of its magic and unparalleled sense of place.

Bellissima. Simply bellissima!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Birdtown. What a charming location, great host, excellent property and amenities. We were traveling with our 8 YO son, and while we did leave to go on hikes elsewhere, we found plenty to keep us entertained just on the property itself. Pond, woods, mountain streams, incredible film collection - all made for a rich, relaxing Memorial Day weekend. We can't wait to go back.
Owner's Response: Wow, glad we could provide all of your funesses, especially Nate (very entertaining little feller). We'll see you again soon, thinking about traveling to Raleigh..

Memory Eternal

This place is beautiful, scenic, and majestic. Myself and the love of my life came in here with out doubts, but beyond all reasonable doubt, we departed most with some of our most beautiful memories.

From the bed room window, you can see the peak of the mountain in all of its majesty. Imagine opening your eyes at sunrise while laying in bed, and the first thing you see is this giant golden ball rising above the mountain, while clouds float like webs around it. Mary has done tremendously well to preempt the needs of her guest. You will not go into that cabin lacking anything. She has an endless list of quality movies, and this cabin is absolutely clean and complete with modern amenities.

You will enjoy the pristine nature of this place.The sound of the waterfall by the bedroom window is like music to the ears. As you listen to this sound, the soft bed wraps your body in its plush and warm embrace. The price of this cabin does not equal the value of the experience. There were many times i took a walk, and felt like i was in a scene of the Avatar movie. That is priceless. Mary is one of the best persons anyone will ever meet. She is personable, and a wonderful sense of humor. Please take this spot, and give your vacation experience an edge.

So Gorgeous!

We were told that many people stay on the property and enjoy the beauty and we both can see why. The first night the temperatures were such that we left our bedroom window open and listened to the little waterfall and brook behind the house. We both have stressful and demanding jobs and it was a great way to unwind. The property is close to Linville Falls and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We enjoyed both of those but regretted not getting a chance to go trout fishing in downtown Bakersville or hike Mary's property. We did get a chance to use our telescope on our last evening. It was great, no light pollution at all. Mary is a wonderful host and we had a great stay!

Little Bird cabin lived up to all of our expectations. The setting is beautiful with mountain views and a lovely creek. The wild flowers(trout lily, trillium & Dutchmen's britches) covered the forest floor. Truly a beautiful, tranquil area. You could stay several days and hike on the 60 acres and never leave the property. Alternative hikes in the Roan Mountain area are close as well. The property also has a lovely pond and grassy areas to sit.

Cabin is small, cozy for 2 people and décor is simple and fun. We cooked each night on the grill. All paper products, cleaning supplies, linens & towels were provided so it was easy and stress free to pack. A TV with a large selection of movies was also a nice feature, but we just chilled!!

Mary was a great hostess, friendly, but gave privacy. We highly recommend Little Bird & want to come back and try the other larger cabin on the property. The setting offers one of the best ways to enjoy the essence of Western NC.
Owner's Response: I couldn't have said it better myself! ;)
I'm never surprised by the people that come to BirdTown (awesomely cool), you and Sam absolutely fit in that category. I still can't get the ducks to leave the pond at night, little buggers.
