The Gingerbread House is located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains!

We stayed with our three children in Patti's cabin in July 2010 for a week. The children were in awe of the whole Gingerbread Cabin theming and we loved the homely feel of the place, The cabin was well equipped and well maintained and we thought it was good value for money. It felt quite remote being about a 15 minute drive to the local Walmart and West Jefferson restaurants. Boone was about a 30 minute drive and was a fairly upmarket destination.

We liked being close to the New River which was great as we used Patti's tubes (stored in the basement) and we enjoyed the trail up the Fleetwood Falls. There was also a lake which was only a 5 minute walk from the cabin which we all enjoyed swimming in. Whilst we were there we drove to Tennessee (Nolichucky River) to raft but would not recommend this unless you have children over 12 as we found it a bit tame with a 9 year old and it was a 2 1/2 hour journey each way.

Patti was always very helpful to us both when we booked and leading up to our arrival, providing us with lots of local information and suggestions for trips. This made a real difference to our stay.

Thank you Patti for letting us use your home!

My family just returned from a wonderful second stay at the Gingerbread Chalet! My husband and I have two children who just loved everything about the Gingerbread Chalet and its location in Fleetwood Falls. We had such a relaxing time fishing at the pond located a short walk up the road, taking hikes in the beautiful mountain scenery, and wading in the New River.

We also took fun day trips to Tweetsie Railroad, Grandfather Mountain, panning for gold, and fishing for huge trout at the Trout Farm in Boone.

This trip was also so special to our family because both sets of grandparents were able to drive up and join us for our vacation. The Gingerbread Chalet was so comfortable and had plenty of room for all of us to enjoy delicious dinners on the deck and exciting card games later in the evening.

I would recommend this cabin to any couple looking for a romantic getaway or to any family who is ready for a vacation filled a myriad of activities for all ages to enjoy.

The owner of this property was friendly and easy to work with. Payment was convenient as the owner was able to process the rental fee by credit card.

My overall experience was excellent! We will definitely be returning for another visit to the Gingerbread Chalet next year!

The home is so nice and cozy, perfect for the mountain setting. The fireplace is wonderful on those cold winter evenings. Not too facy that you were afraid to put your feet up, but nice to allow a crowd of visitors to spread out. Nicely maintained, clean and well-kept. The owner is so nice and friendly, felt like I'd known her for years! Lots of great shopping in the area, beautiful scenery too.
