Photos and Description of the West Jefferson vacation cabin rental
1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 6

Location: Near Fleetwood, Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, USA (Mountain side cabin at 3800 feet near the New River.)

Accommodations: Hand Hued Log Cabin, 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom (sleeps 6) Mulatto Mountain Hideaway, located near Fleetwood, NC, is a great gateway to a memorable mountain vacation in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. Our cabin was completed in the Spring of 2009, and is ready to welcome you to the Appalachian Mountains for a long weekend, a week, or a month away from it all.

'The Great Escape' offers a large, upper-level master bedroom with a King sized bed, as well as a full bath with a Jacuzzi tub and vanity with granite counter top, and a walk-in cedar closet. An upper level 15'x32' spacious deck provides a four place Hot Tub/Spa, two place swing, glider rocker, picnic table, and LP Gas Grill. A second spacious bathroom is located on the first level with an adjoining wet/dry sauna, and a two car garage. Additional amenities include a gas burning fireplace with a remote, flat screen TV with a blue ray DVD, two Ikea sleeper sofas, two large 5'x6' windows facing to the East and West, two large sliding glass doors leading to a spacious deck with panoramic bird's eye views from 3800 feet of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Grandfather Mountain, a large well equipped kitchen with an eight foot bar, wormy maple cabinets, and granite counter tops, an expandable antique dining table, and front loader washer and dryer. The cabin has a southern pine T&G interior throughout with oak hard wood flooring, and cathedral ceilings in the kitchen/dining area and sitting area where you will be able to feel the warmth

Treat yourself to the casual atmosphere fine dining of Crippen's Country Inn & Restaurant in Blowing Rock. Located in a quaint, Southern, side-street cottage, you will dine on an absolutely artistic creation designed for the season. Don't miss Canyon's Restaurant, the view is priceless!! Canyon's is inconspicuously built on a ridge where you can enjoy a burger, and a million dollar view! You cannot leave Blowing Rock without a stroll downtown where you have to visit Kilwin's homemade ice cream and candy store on Main Street, and let the kids play in the park which is the centerpiece of Main Street.

In Ashe County NC you can enjoy virtually any outdoor activity you can think of. Everything from fishing, biking, hiking, whitewater rafting, to skiing and golf can be found in and around Ashe County. Kayaking the New River is as easy as traveling the short distance to Riverside Kayak and Bike Rentals where they have kayaks, tubes, bikes, and horses. More adventurous activities can be found by rafting the Watauga or Nolichucky Rivers, spelunking the Linville Caverns, or hiking the Linville Gorge, all of which are within 40 minutes of Fleetwood. And, don't miss the most visited destination in NC, Grandfather Mountain, which can usually be seen from the cabin, with the mile high swinging bridge, the animal park, and more. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a favorite spot for many people. You can look out over the many overlooks and see miles and miles of the Blue Ridge Mountains across North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee. Enjoy biking, hiking, camping, and many other activities.

About Howard Shipman

Howard lives in the Florida Keys, and has three grown kids. He is a retired Commercial Airline Pilot, and retired USAF Pilot. Howard is a NC native. He enjoys the natural beauty, fresh air, and wildlife of the Blue Ridge Mountains while trekking and biking.

Howard Shipman purchased this cabin in 2009
Why Howard Shipman chose West Jefferson

I was looking to build an all wooden cabin with modern conveniences in a location that provided the best long range mountain views The Smokey Mountains had to offer, yet close to places to go for dining and activities. Southern Ashe County, 20 minutes from Boone, and close to West Jefferson, was the ideal place.

What makes this cabin unique

Privacy, Long Range panoramic views of The Great Smoky Mountains from 3800 feet.

In less than 30 minutes travel time, you can cover the 20 miles to Boone, drive 8 more miles to Blowing Rock. West Jefferson is only 10 miles away. The home of Appalachian State University and the Mountaineers (Go ASU!!), Boone offers the casual atmosphere of a college town. Walk the downtown area to find antique shops, restaurants, ice cream shops, and coffee shops. Cafe Portofino & the Tap Room and The Black Cat Burrito are two of our favorite restaurants. Once an old hardware store, Farmer's Hardware has been converted into terrific emporium shops, located on King St in Boone. The converted hardware store to emporium shops are fabulous. Convenient for purchasing Vera Bradley Products, pottery, fashion jewelry, greeting cards, candy, toys...what you don't have!!!! The detail for renovations to the old building is great, and the friendly staff make this a must when visiting downtown Boone. Also, don't miss the Mast General Store across the street.

Submitted: March 18, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My wife and I had a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable stay. The cabin was great, and the views from the deck were beautiful. Howard was very courteous, responsive, and a pleasure to deal with through the process. We hope to be back soon!

Owner's Response: Thank you so much Alex for taking the time to leave your guest comments!! I appreciate that very much.
I am very pleased that you guys had a wonderful time. I try to make the place a perfect setting for relaxing, and getting away from our normal busy and competetive lives. The cabin has a high degree of privacy, and quiet with only the sounds of the song birds, and the wind. It makes an ideal place for honeymoons, anniversaries, birthday celebrations, or just a place to relax with modern conveniences. I do hope you will find the time to return soon!!

The Great Escape

The reviews on the Great EScape were so true! We had a wonderful experience there. The cabin was very clean and the kitchen was WONDERFUL! We had everything needed to prepare our meals and to
feel right at home. We enjoyed the spa and were able to relax in it while reading our favorite books. We
will be back in October to enjoy more of the sites and see the beautiful fall colors! I would recommend
this to anyone who needs a relaxing get-away.

My husband and I had an wonderful time and can't wait to stay again! Howard was great in responding to all of our questions and concerns prior to our stay. He's not kidding when he recommends driving a 4WD vehicle in the snowy months. We drove into a rainy NC which turned into icy road conditions heading up the mountain. Luckily we made it up in our little Ford Focus and it was quite an adventure but when we go in the future in the Winter we will be sure to drive a 4WD vehicle. The cabin is beautiful and has everything you could possibly want. Having the grill out on the deck was great - we didn't head down the mountain at all but stayed and used the beautiful kitchen! The view from the cabin and the tranquility of being so secluded were wonderful. We look forward to coming back again soon! Thank you Howard!
Owner's Response: Thank you Emily and Rafael for taking the time to leave your remarks regarding your stay!! I am so glad you have helped me to emphasize the need for an AWD or 4WD vehicle during the Winter months. The gravel roads really take a beating with all the rain, snow, and ice freezing then thawing. And, there is very little that can be done until the weather improves in the Spring.
I appreciate the kind remarks. I try to manage the cabin to the best of my ability. It is a service, and I try to keep things simple, honest, straight forward, and hassle free. I try to encourage my guests to stay in close contact, and to put forth their questions and concerns. I hate misunderstanding, and confusion. That leave bad feelings for the guests and myself..
It was a pleasure working with you guys, and I am glad you came prepared to hunker down and just enjoy the cabin and the ever changing views. I do hope you can stay for a longer period of time when you return, now that you have found The Great Escape. There are so many activities to do in the surrounding area every season of the year. Right now, the things to do are skiing, sledding, snow boarding, and snow tubing, plus visiting the Cheese Factory, and many shops and restaurants in downtown West Jefferson, or venturing a little further to Boone, and Blowing Rock. I hope to see you guys again very soon!!

I tradionally obsess about where I will stay for my Thanksgiving getaway to the mountains and The Great Escape was wonderful! I was looking for a private cabin with great views, accepts my dogs and has a hot tub. We got all of that and more! You always wonder if a photo and description is accurate and they are right on for this cabin.

The views from the deck are breathtaking and ever changing. Sitting by the window with breakfast in hand was so relaxing. Yes the road is steep and packed dirt/gravel but that is part of the adventure! We went up and down it so many times we knew it like the back of our hand by the time we left. We do have a 4x4 Chevy Tahoe but we saw others coming up and down in cars as well.

Inside we had everything we needed and it was cozy, comfortable and welcoming. The property was clean and well kept. We cooked in the kitchen several times including Thanksgiving dinner. The hot tub is always a bonus. The dogs (labrador and border collie) loved the deck and being able to see outside practically anywhere in the cabin.

We are very active and were all over the place. We went into West Jefferson, Boone, Blowing Rock and Linville. There are lots of trails for walking and some even very close such as the New River State Park which is where we got engaged when my fiance surprised me on Thanksgiving <3. While you feel secluded, civilization is not far away which is nice. If you enjoy hiking don't miss Grandfather Mountain.

The owner is fantastic. He is easy to talk to, helpful and friendly. I felt like we had known him for years :). Correspondance was smooth and everything is very clear and easy. This was a great place that became an important part of our lives! Thank you!

Owner's Response: Thank you Andrea and Dion for taking the time to leave your fantastic comments of your experiences while visiting The Great Escape. I am very pleased that you enjoyed preparing Thanksgiving Dinner in the kitchen, and appreciated the panoramic views from the cabin. As you alluded, you can see outside the cabin from everywhere in the cabin, except the upstairs bathroom. I know how important our family pets are to our everyday lives, and how nice it is to share all the new experience we enjoy on a trip away from home. That is why I am glad to open my cabin to our four legged family members. You did a great job describing many of the small towns and activities in the area. I hope you and your family will plan to return many times in the future. There are always new things to enjoy, every season of the year.

My husband and I have been longing for a mountain getaway and we couldn't have found a better place to stay. This cabin surpassed all of our expectations. The owners are very hospitable and make great efforts to ensure your upmost comfort. The cabin was pristine and the interior is beautiful and well maintained. The coziness of the cabin really felt like home. The views from the deck are really spectacular, and on a clear sunny day it almost seems that you are looking at a painting. The view is just really indescribable!

The cabin is secluded on top of a mountain, and the peacefulness is just pure serenity. Although the cabin is very private, once you get off the mountain you are near all of the major amenities you may need and within a good proximity to Blowing Rock and Grandfather mountain. It really just was PERFECT!

We are already planning our next trip back and hope to revisit this cabin a few times a year.

Owner's Response: Thank you Linda and Jon for being my guests at The Great Escape, and for taking the time out of your busy schedules to leave your beautiful remarks regarding your experiences. I am glad you chose to bring your family pet to share the experiences with you.
When I was choosing the location to build my cabin, I found that the southern portion of Ashe County was the ideal place for me. I believe the location offers some of the best views available to enjoy the natural beauty of The Great Smoky Mountains, yet, as you mentioned, you are only a short distance away from restaurants, and shops in downtown West Jefferson, or even Boone, and Blowing Rock. There are numerous activities available during all Seasons. This Winter I have had guests telling me of their adventures skiing, tubing, horseback riding, shopping, and visiting Grandfather Mountains, just to mention a few. During the warmer Seasons, there are places for biking, hiking, and all the activities on the New River like canoeing, kayaking, swimming, tubing and fishing. I do hope you guys will have a chance to come back soon. I have enjoyed working with you, and I hope to visit your shop Puff n' Fluff Crafts sometime soon as well!!
