Location
This house is located in Powder Horn Mountain in Deep Gap, NC. We are about 20 mins to Appalachian State and main street in Boone but only about 13 miles. We are about 18 -25 miles to all the ski resorts or about 35-40 mins. Blowing Rock and Banner Elk are each about 35-40 mins from our front gate. The Blue Ridge Parkway is about 7 miles away with an access point at the top of Elk Creek Rd on old 421. The closest grocery store is Food Lion located at the intersection of 421 and Old 421 across from Tractor Supply. There is RV camping and horseback riding near by at Leatherwood Mountain Resort. Local wineries and breweries abound including Appalachian Mountain Brewery, Boonshine Brewing, Grandfather Vineyards, Banner Elk Winery and so many others. So much to do!!!! Make sure to also check out the Lil' Hidden Creek Gem mine located about 1 mile past the back gate of Powder Horn. Call ahead and they will get mining buckets ready for the little ones!
Side Notes
Firewood for the fireplaces can be ordered for $10 per bundle prior to arrival. We also have a local Doula who's information is included in your check in instructions. If you need cribs, high chairs, or other kid items including baby monitors, baby gates etc she is a great resource and will deliver directly to the house prior to your arrival. Grocery delivery is also available for a flat fee. (based on availability) We do recommend getting groceries prior to getting to your house either in Boone, Lenoir or North Wilkesboro. If you do want to do grocery delivery we recommend Lowes Foods at New Market Center in Boone. Additional instructions on this are also provided with check in instructions.
Community
Powder Horn Mountain is a private gated community. (gate code provided on pdf in email after you book) All guests have free access to the community pool seasonally open May to September. Fitness center at the clubhouse, playground, fishing in three community ponds,(please bring your fishing poles!) No permit is necessary in the community but if you want to fish the state stocked Elk Creek you will need one. Miles of community hiking trails with well marked signage and a map in your binder. Make sure you check out the campground that sits on laurel creek and is the perfect spot for a night time fire pit and s'mores or a game of horseshoes.

Great stay!

We had the best time at Acorn Cottage. The house was decorated beautifully and had the necessities we needed in the kitchen and throughout the house. Property management was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed on arrival. Thank you for a beautiful home away from home, we will definitely be back!

mountain charmer!

This property was clean, comfortable and really lovely. Plenty of space for a crowd, with several bedrooms on the main level, which matters for us because we travel with an 87 year old family member who struggles with stairs. The kitchen was very well equipped and labeled. Powder Horn Mountain, although a little remote, had a really beautiful pool area and a fantastic stream area near the campground for creek stomping. All in all, this was a really delightful place for a low-key family get together.

The perfect place for our crew!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage was absolutely perfect for our group! My parents stayed in the main suite, and having their own bathroom was a big bonus. My brother and his family used the other two rooms on the main floor, and my family of five used the three bedrooms in the basement. Having two living areas in the house was SO nice! We also truly appreciated being able to bring our two dogs with us. The property description and pictures allowed us to plan in advance, and everything was clean and well-maintained. Communication with the property manager was easy and we appreciated the quick response time. We'd highly recommend this property to others, and I'm sure we'll stay here again when we visit Boone--it was just right for what we needed! For anyone looking for activities in the area, we would definitely suggest checking out Appalachian Tubing Company--closest tubing company to the cottage, easy online reservations, and the friendliest guys who run it!
