Country Life - hot tub, wood burning fireplace, pet friendly

Welcome to Country Life! Warm and inviting best describes the atmosphere of this nicely decorated three bedroom, two bath cabin located in the development of Little Bavaria in Valle Crucis.

This home features a wood burning fireplace and large flat screen TV in the living room. For added comfort, Country Life has central air conditioning, a drip coffeemaker in the kitchen, and laundry room with full sized washer and dryer.

You'll find the family room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room and two Queen bedrooms on the main level. There is also a full bath between the two bedrooms. Each of these two Queen bedrooms have chic LVP flooring!

Upstairs you will find the large loft with plenty of furnishings and a sofa sleeper. The king suite bedroom with a private bath offers a newly upgraded double vanity, whirlpool tub and separate shower.

Head outside to soak in the hot tub, toast marshmallows the wood burning fire pit, or take in nature sitting in the rockers on the oversize covered front porch. This home is dog friendly (pet rent per pet) and has ample yard surrounded by mountains. Walk just a short ways down the neighborhood street and enjoy catch & release fishing at the stocked Different Drum Lake in the neighborhood!

Enjoy your stay at Country Life!

This is one of our favorite cabins! We can’t wait to go back. It is well decorated, immaculately clean, and has everything you would need to enjoy your stay. The views are beautiful! My kids loved rolling down the hills and having s’mores. We almost wish we had not planned as many activities bc we wanted to spend more time at the cabin! The hot tub was awesome for my husband and I after putting the kids to bed. 10/10 recommend.

Relaxing Spring Break

The cabin was clean and comfortable. Watch some "march madness" the TV worked well. Enough kitchen equipment, silver wear, etc, but not much room to store food. Kitchen table seats 6. Relatively flat side yard. The large field in the pictures belongs to another property and is behind a barbed wire fence. There is a somewhat steep gravel road to access the cabin. What had a great time.

Perfect Cabin!

My husband & I, along with our two kids stayed here for a week over Thanksgiving & LOVED it! It was the perfect size for us with three bedrooms & everyone was very comfortable. The location is perfect, only about 5-10 minutes from the heart of Boone yet quiet & peaceful enough to relax. Everything was extremely clean & the property manager couldn’t have been nicer. We will definitely stay again!

Excellent Cabin and Location

A couple friends and myself rented the cabin for a weekend of fly fishing in the area and were incredibly happy with the cabin. it was very clean, perfect for our group with plenty of space inside and out, and in a great location close to several rivers and creeks. There are a few other cabins around the "neighborhood" however they are all well spaced out and provide enough privacy from each other to really enjoy the surroundings and your time here. We had a great stay and look forward to staying here in the future as well.
