Farallon

We had a great stay with a family of 6. Lots of windows and a great back porch to enjoy watching nature. We were even able to watch the animals while soaking in the hot tub. Short trip to enjoy some of the waterfalls nearby.

Our family enjoyed spending the weekend in this home! Perfect for 4 people! Very clean and spacious. Nice wrap around porch with grill and hot tub!

This may be an older cabin but you will not find a cleaner one. Blue Ridge is awesome communicator. Weber grill on deck, classic older style jacuzzi 4 person hot tub on deck, two couches and nice fireplace. Only one neighbor about 4 acres away. Very private. Amazing sunrises and Mountain View's from deck and living room. Loaded kitchen. Perfect for weekend. Hike from the home to the top of mountaintop- about .3 miles. Cons: no yard. Home on slope. Small driveway that required 4x4, 25 mins from any stores, one lane road to home (arrive in daylight only). Pro Tip- go to Kettle Brewery in Banner Elk - place is a dive but awesome brew. We will be back to this home.

Excellent property! Will stay here again!

This location was my favorite Air BNB to date. So quiet and peaceful and so well kept. They recommended a 4x4 vehicle which I'm glad we listened to because there is a lot of climbing and gravel but so worth all of it. It was the perfect place to getaway and totally relax!

Always a great time!

- Kimberly, Posted: 10/04/2023

We had a great time.

- Dennis, Posted: 09/11/2023

We had a great stay at Farallon! This cabin was absolutely perfect for us (two couple family), and we enjoyed the scenic drive up the mountain with plentiful wildlife. We had a bear attempt to get in our empty trash can one morning at 3 am, so believe when they tell you not to leave food in your vehicle. By the way, 4 wheel drive is a must! This area was convenient to all the things we wanted to do and see! Wish we could've stayed longer and looking forward to returning!

- Deanna, Posted: 08/09/2023

We absolutely loved this house. It was perfect for two of us and our dog. Truly felt like we were in a treehouse away from the world and hunters Ridge. We love it up there and will definitely come back.

- Melody, Posted: 07/03/2023

Our trip was one for the books it was very relaxing the house was beautiful and exactly what we wanted for sure need a 4 wheel drive vehicle for the drive up and the drive way

- Courtney, Posted: 05/22/2023

Our experience was wonderful with both the company and the property. The company was positive and accommodating. They communicated well about important things to know about the property. The property was beautiful, well appointed and clean. A perfect location for our family to share fellowship and relaxation. We loved the views, the hot tub and the fire pit. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and pans. Overall, this was an amazing property!!

- Margot, Posted: 05/18/2023

Easy and fun

- Micah, Posted: 04/20/2023

The cabin was exactly what we wanted! I had a hard time finding a cabin that would accommodate our husky, family with kids, and a hot tub. This one checked all the boxes and did not disappoint. Yes, the road is a doozie to get up to the cabin but honestly that was one of our favorite parts. The ducks, deer, turkeys, chickens, were always out to greet our car as we traveled to the cabin and the kids loved it. The house was clean, kitchen was well stocked (could use a few more dinner plates) beds were cozy, view was amazing in the morning and evening. We even saw flurries in March! Also want to note this house SMELLED CLEAN. I have been in rentals that had an odor or felt musty. This one DID NOT. We traveled from the NC beach to the mountains and will travel back to this same house again. Thank you for the get away! Outings we took and I recommend: Alpine Coaster, Linville Caverns & Otter Falls

- Sherri, Posted: 03/23/2023

This was our first stay at Farallon and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! It's a bit of a challenge to get to…but a fun one! It was private and the views were beautiful! The cabin itself was just perfect for our family of 4. It was clean, well stocked with everything we needed and so comfy cozy! We would definitely love to stay there again! On a side note…we went to The Gamekeepers restaurant for dinner while there and it was on of the best restaurants we love ever been too! It's a must from now on for sure!

- Cassie, Posted: 03/07/2023

Definitely recommend renting.

- Harry, Posted: 03/07/2023

Cabin was beautiful and would visit again

- Charity, Posted: 01/31/2023

The cabin has everything, amazing fireplace and hot tub jacuzzi, comfortable double suites.

- Natasha, Posted: 12/12/2022

The cabin was very cozy. We loved using the fireplace. Everything is well stocked and very clean. Driveway was a little tricky. Would definitely want to come back. We bought our Christmas trees from Sugar Ridge farm! Great selection and great prices!!

- Kelly, Posted: 12/12/2022

Beautiful cabin with big open floor plan. Kids (3 & 7) loved it! We had a great stay and hope to visit again soon.

- Evan, Posted: 11/15/2022

Enjoyed celebrating my 50th birthday with my family at this beautiful cabin. Very clean and well decorated. Plenty of space and peace and quiet. Loved the fireplace! Wonderful time!

- Dana and Pedro, Posted: 10/07/2022

We stayed at the Farallon Cabin for a long 4-day weekend for a girls' trip, and had such an amazing time. The cabin was clean and cozy, and perfect for our group of four. The kitchen was well stocked for our home cooked meals, and it was just a perfect stay. It was a 20 minute drive just to get to the house from the bottom of the mountain so we were grateful that we had everything we needed and didn't have to venture out much. If you are planning on going out to eat or go sightseeing, be prepared to factor an extra 20 minutes into your travels. All in all, it was the best place for our group to stay and we had an amazing time. We slept so well in the comfy beds, had nice showers with the great water pressure, and relaxed in the hottub and on the couches under cozy blankets. We will def use blue ridge mountain rentals again!

- Emily, Posted: 09/30/2022

good. hot tub was excellent perk

- Joe, Posted: 09/21/2022

A little bit tricky o the driveway but enjoyed the adventure to get there. everything you would expect in a mountain home

- Rodney, Posted: 09/20/2022

The property feels very isolated and is quite the experience up the mountain to reach it. But overall the cabin had everything my family of 4 needed for a last minute weekend away. We enjoyed the views, the quiet and the hot tub.

- Nicole, Posted: 08/15/2022

My wife and I decided kind of last minute to take a weekend getaway in the mountains with some friends, and this cabin was perfect for what we wanted. It's very secluded (no neighbors in site), clean, cozy, and very well stocked. It takes approximately 15 minutes to get up the mountain, but it is a lovely drive and we did not mind it at all. Easy to find if you just follow google maps. There are some attractions and stores relatively near by (20ish minutes) and about 30 minutes from countless beautiful hikes with waterfalls, amazing views, wildlife, etc. We would 100% stay here again.

- Boris, Posted: 07/05/2022

We had an amazing weekend away from the rush of the city. The hot tub was lovely with the beautiful view of the mountains in the distance. We honestly spent a large portion of our trip just lying in bed watching TV. I slept like a baby here. The driveway is a little scary and steep but other than that everything was perfect.

- Kathy, Posted: 05/06/2022

We stayed at Farallon, it was way up the mountain so the views were wonderful. The house is very nice and cozy. Wonderful fireplace. We ended up having snow so going in the hottub while it was snowing was great. So peaceful. The only concern was the driveway. Very steep and single lane, so we had to reverse out. Other than that it was a great house to stay in.

- Maryann, Posted: 04/21/2022

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin! Check in was extremely easy and we had no issues with our stay. We would definitely stay here again!!

- Caitlin, Posted: 03/16/2022

We had a wonderful stay, the property was everything that it was advertised to be. The cabin was clean, up to date, and well appointed. The check in/out process was super easy. Would definitely rent through blue ridge mountain rentals again

- Colby, Posted: 02/23/2022

Centrally located to ski mountains. We visited three in three days!

- Steve, Posted: 01/12/2022

Such a clean, beautiful place! We were so happy staying there and had a great time! Highly recommend.

- Kimberly, Posted: 01/03/2022

Great view, wonderful location, nice house!

- Kimberly, Posted: 11/12/2021

Great location. Private and plenty of scenery. Cabin was spotless and had everything we needed plus some. We would come back to this rental

- Mark, Posted: 11/09/2021

After we made the climb up the mountain, the home was great! Loved the big room with high ceilings! Beds were comfortable and the rockers on the porch were our favorite!

- J., Posted: 09/08/2021

Very quiet secluded location. Cabin was very clean. Enjoyed a wonderful weekend in the mountains If you are looking for a peaceful get away I highly recommend this cabin.

- Holly, Posted: 08/24/2021

This was the perfect place for a little get away. Close enough to where we could take a drive into town for a meal but far enough away to where we felt completely removed from anyone! Was very clean and exactly as described. Very easy to get into contact with if anything breaks - we thought the hot tub was broken on day 2 but wasn't sure and they insisted to send someone up since we were staying for 4 nights. Some of the most beautiful sunrises to see from that balcony just wish some of the trees would move over a few more inches over ? Will definitely be back!

- Crislyn, Posted: 07/01/2021

An amazing spot to rest, take in the mountain forests, and enjoy day trips in all directions. Neighborhood roads and the driveway require a bit of adventuresome spirit.

- Kirsten, Posted: 06/28/2021

My wife and I rented a cabin with Blue Ridge Cabin Rentals for our anniversary and it was one of the best times of our marriage. The cabin was peaceful, had a wonderful view of mountains and trees, and the staff was incredibly helpful with every question we had, including whether or not we could make it up the mountain with our FWD sedan. The cabin itself was clean with many kitchen appliances, a grill, a hot tub, and a fire pit as well as plenty of room inside for the price. We even saw a bear and her bear cubs running around one night while we were staying there. We absolutely intend to rent the cabin again in the future.

- Nate, Posted: 05/27/2021

A very nice, spacious, secluded cabin. All fixtures and furniture work great, including the Wi-Fi, the grill , and the Jacuzzi. Had a great time.

- Chad, Posted: 05/03/2021

Book it. Seriously just do it, this cabin is perfect.

- Sumaia, Posted: 04/21/2021

A quite, laidback escape.

- Lis, Posted: 04/09/2021

Great little cabin. Loved the privacy, views, hot tub, and fireplace. Had everything we needed for a weekend getaway!

- John, Posted: 04/01/2021

Amazing...from the place itself to the surrounding area.

- Heather, Posted: 03/29/2021

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Farallon! The sun rises from the deck were beautiful and the hot tub felt amazing after a day of taking our dogs hiking. The nights were so quiet and relaxing. Loved hearing the owls! This is a cabin we’d love to stay at again! It was perfect for a quick getaway with our pups!

- Kristen, Posted: 03/22/2021

Great location.

- Brian, Posted: 03/19/2021

This truly is a gem tucked away deep in the mountains. Very private and beautiful location. A small cabin that felt very large with the tall ceilings and open floor plan. Obsessed with the porch, rocking chairs, and killer view.

- Rachael, Posted: 03/15/2021

Amazing views! Literally at the top and feel like you have the entire mountain to yourself. If you like to explore there are a couple little paths/roads you can follow to the very top of the mountain. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed and wanted from the fire place to the hot tub to make our stay feel more like home! The team responded extremely quickly to every question I had very happy we listened to their recommendations!

- Lyndsay, Posted: 03/11/2021

Beautiful cabin in awesome location, no one around very secluded and private. Very clean and the best sunrises you will ever see. 4wd a must the driveway is a little sketchy in the snow.

- Virginia, Posted: 01/20/2021

the house is in the most beautiful spot way up the mountain. clean and comfortable, incl great hot tub with amazing view and awesome vaulted ceiling in the main living area. we had a wonderful winter wonderland week at Farallon

- Till, Posted: 01/11/2021

Exactly what you’re looking for in a secluded mountain retreat!

- Christine, Posted: 12/21/2020

Couldn't have had a more relaxing time in the mountains. The hiking was wonderful. The house was perfect. Enjoyed the hot tub at the end of the day. Just a perfect holiday

- Gary, Posted: 11/16/2020

Great home for a mountain getaway, beautiful location, nice hot tub!

- Michael, Posted: 08/31/2020

Great cabin in peaceful location! Well equipped kitchen, nice porch to relax in the cool evenings and mornings, enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. Perfect getaway for our family.

- A., Posted: 08/12/2020

The cabin was extremely clean and very well equipped. We loved our time there and would love to go back!

- Mel, Posted: 03/28/2020

Property is well maintained, Clean and in good order, great decor and everything you will need to relax, kitchen well equipped, hot tub on deck so great access and fire pit with wood provided, highly recommend!

- Ken, Posted: 01/14/2020

Superb cabin home, very well maintained and well fitted out, nice decor and very functional, hot tub and fire pit (with fire wood provided) are great add ons, location is fairly isolated and 4x4 essential during winter weather, overall I will rent again!!

- Ken, Posted: 01/06/2020

Great cabin! Loved the location and scenery!! Will definitely stay here again!!

- Tonya, Posted: 12/02/2019

We enjoyed our stay at the Farallon. It is exactly as pictured and described. The hot tub and fireplace were worth the trip up the steep mountain. We would love to stay in this cabin again. Thanks!

- Melissa, Posted: 10/22/2019

We had an amazing time everything was perfect. It is a cozy house with beautiful views.

- Ashley, Posted: 09/24/2019

My husband, the dog and I stayed at the Farallon for 6 days and it was AMAZING! The fireplace, fire-pit and hot tub were clean and well maintained. The house is beautiful with lots of room and a very open floor plan and tons of windows to enjoy the view. The beds are very soft with ample pillows and blankets. Lots of dresser and closet space to unpack and feel right at home. There isn't a keurig machine so bring coffee filters to make coffee by the pot. The kitchen is very well stocked with flatware, utensils, pots, pans, bakeware, blender, crockpot, and everything you would need to cook and bake. Make sure to pack storage containers, ziplock bags and such for any left-overs. Also bring condiments, unfortunately I forgot and had to run out to the market for ketchup, mayonnaise, butter, etc :-( Our stay was the beginning of April so there were no leaves on the trees, you can see the rooftop of a few homes but really there was no one around. In the 6 days we were there we did not see a single person. We took hikes around the area and it was so peaceful and beautiful. Watauga County has strict leash laws and there are several farms in the area so please do not let your pet run off leash, it would be very easy for them to get into trouble. You definitely need a 4wd or AWD vehicle to get to the property. We did have to call maintenance on Saturday morning for a pretty bad faucet leak and they came right out and fixed it, I was really surprised at how fast they showed up for a Saturday morning [very professional]. We look forward to visiting again in the future.

- Victoria, Posted: 04/19/2019

The property was just like it was listed. Great views, amenities and price. Will be back for sure.

- Anne, Posted: 10/22/2018

The Farallon was spectacular! House was as expected from pictures, and really quiet and picturesque. Trust their directions as they are spot on. Plan to return when the leaves are off and the snow starts! Even the kids loved exploring around the cabin. Thanks!

- Ryan, Posted: 09/10/2018

“This place had absolutely everything that was described and exceeded our expectations... it was worth every penny. The place was beautiful, spotless, and very well appointed. The communication from management was perfect and we truly appreciate all of their help throughout the entire process. The views are amazing and suggest getting up early to watch the sun rise from the deck. There are too many nice things to say about this place. We cannot wait to return.” “Thank you so much for the perfect vacation. The place was beautiful and perfectly set up. It was so relaxing and peaceful... the small touches/details were very much appreciated. I would also like to thank everyone who responded to our questions in a very timely manner. Again, we had the BEST time and will definitely plan to return. Thanks, Ben & Laura”

- Ben, Posted: 08/16/2018

“Very impressed with the cabin. Clean, quiet and very private. Deck overlooking mountain was very scenic”

- Patrick, Posted: 08/01/2018

Great time The host did everything they promised and also went out their way to get us in early.

- James, Posted: 07/30/2018

“Gorgeous cabin. Very comfortable. The view is gorgeous but mostly blocked by trees. Management is excellent”

- David, Posted: 07/23/2018

Awesome place! It was a great cabin out in the woods. I'll definitely point out that when they recommend 4WD/tire chains, they mean it. there's a little bit of driving off the paved road that couldn't have been done without 4WD because of the snow. The house was cozy and clean, the hot tub was great, and being secluded was awesome. I'd stay here again.

- Jeremy, Posted: 01/18/2018

We really enjoyed our stay from the moment we stepped into your home. It was so clean and bright and your decor made the house feel so warm and cozy. The fireplace was great! Sitting on the rocking chairs on the deck was a wonderful way to begin and end the day. The Jacuzzi was so relaxing. Thanks again. Chris and linda

- Christopher, Posted: 07/13/2017

We stayed at Faralllon for our honeymoon, it was my first time in the mountains of NC. The home has beautiful architecture, all wood interior, a lovely home. Everything we could have had asked for was included, the hot tub being a great feature, in fact we came home and ordered one! The cabin is in Valle Crusis, about a 30 minute drive up the hills from Boone, very secluded, with no other homes visible. We had worked hard to organize my Citizenship, our Marriage and Honeymoon, and this was the perfect retreat. You have to check out the Bue Ridge Parkway with it's many overlooks and beautiful scenery, also be sure to go up Grandfather Mountain, you will remember it forever! Check out the Mast General Store and Over Yonder Restaurant, where the food is excellent, it is not what I would could cheap eating, but the prices are very reasonable for the standard of menu offered. It also has outside seating for the warmer weather. Boone is a busy place, and Blowing Rock is lovely with it's quaint little businesses selling a wide variety of local products. We will definitely go back, maybe on one of our Anniversaries!

- Martin, Posted: 09/26/2016

Just returned from a great stay in the mountains. Near the rental cabin, there is an animal sanctuary with rabbits, ducks, donkey, lama, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, and yes a cute watch dog. Love visiting Grandfather mountain where we saw three bears and two otters. Great restaurants. We will return next year.

- Dr. Marshall, Posted: 06/27/2016

The perfect place for a well needed vacation! After a busy year of hard work, NC has always been our winter spot to stop and unwind. The turn into this little community put big smiles on our faces as we caught a glimpse of this home. The views are incredible. Everything was set-up comfortably, almost like we live here. We had a wonderful time playing in the snow, taking pictures, watching all the deer and just relaxing by the fire. We are so glad we found this cabin and so happy you were able to share it with us. Thanks!

- Russ, Posted: 03/25/2015

Love. Love. Love this place..... We had snow on the first day and ended up warm and sunny on our last two days. We love the cabin. We love the location - and the privacy of farallon. This cabin has everything you need - a great fire pit outside...and great view from the porch - we will be back!!!

- Dustin, Posted: 02/12/2015

This a great hideaway on top of the mountain. We had a wonderful week in this cozy cabin. The cabin had everything we needed and some fun games and books. We definitely recommend the fire pit. A quiet retreat from the tourist activity of Boone with all the amenities.
