Romantic Cabin,Views,Pet-Friendly,Trails

Visit Horsin' Around atop Leatherwood Mountains. This new Log Cabin is a horse lovers dream. Horsin' Around is a beautiful 2 bedroom, newly constructed log home with a 2 stall barn with attached 12'x14' pens, and separate paddocks for turn-out (maximum 4 horses). This perfect horse lovers get-away is located on Wagon Ridge about as close to the Daniel Boone trail head as you can get. Ride directly from this great new rental property onto the Leatherwood Mountains trail system and return to the onsite 2 stall barn, just steps away from this modern, well-equipped log cabin. Relax and take in the view from the overlook chairs waiting on the porch. If Horses aren't your thing this brand new log cabin still has plenty to offer. Relax in front of the gas log fireplace and stone chimney while taking in the views from the great room's wall of windows. Slip away to the loft to watch the game on the 55 inch TV with Blue Ray. An air tub awaits in the master bathroom. A window seat in the master bedroom provides an ideal location to enjoyl Horsin' around's never ending views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Guests traveling with trailers or other long vehicles should be aware that the roads inside Leatherwood are narrow, steep, mountain roads that are not conducive to vehicles or trailers longer than a two horse bumper pull trailer or a goose neck trailer less than 20 feet long. Leatherwood is not responsible for any resulting damage.
Horsin’ Around is located at the end of a short narrow road. There is sufficient room for a 16 foot gooseneck trailer to make the turn around the barn, but nothing longer. When approaching Horsin’ Around, circle clockwise around the barn. If additional room is needed to complete the turn, the corners of the pens can be unchained and folded out of the way.

Out of the way!
This is a very nice location but keep in mind it is in the middle of nowhere. 1 hour from Blowing Rock. No restaurants around. The one on site is only open Friday nights during the winter. So pack everything you need. Is a great place for horses and riding.

Wonderful stay!
My husband and I booked this place specifically for the seclusion! We wanted a weekend getaway for our anniversary while still being close to the “city”. This place was perfect! Very clean and everything you would want when coming to a VRBO! It’s 30 minutes from Wilkesboro and an hour from Boone. Some reviews mentioned not enough towels, TP or paper towels. There were 8-10 towels, 2 rolls of TP per bathroom and 2 rolls of paper towels. The only thing we lacked was baggies / foil to wrap up left overs. Reviews suggested 4x4 for the driveway and while we didn’t have any ice or snow in mid February we did use 4x4 to get out of the drive a couple of times. At first we were bothered by the lack of covering over the hot tub…until we went in at night and saw all the stars! That would’ve been lost with a covering! Beautiful place! Everything you need for a romantic weekend!

Stunning but remote
We spent more time in the car getting to places than i would like. I am mildly disabled so hiking the trails on the mountain was difficult. Driving to towns and attractions seemed to take forever, often on gravel roads that were poorly posted. We should have booked something closer to Boone, Blowing Rock or Banner Elk but i would hate to loose that view from the house. Lack of cell phone reception was problematic.

Excellent View-small cabin
We had several issues-1) high price for 2 bedrooms; 2) roaches in several rooms; 3) grill had 3 burners but only 2 worked; 4) cookware was very poor-dirty pans, chipped dishes; 5) Notified front desk regarding conditions-no response; 6) gas fireplace started at times but not all the time; View was excellent, cabin was clean, furniture very comfortable. Overall condition was good but needed updating.

Very Good but could be excellent
Could be a 5 but a 3.5 this week. Likes: House layout, big windows, ceiling beams, loft w/desk, couches and TV, comfy bed and bedrooms, roomy kitchen, nice new large cutting board, coffee grinder, great ridge line hiking trails, adequate small hot tub, gas logs, nice TV with great on demand options, great internet. Dislikes/needs: uncomfortable, loose toilet seats; poor lighting in kitchen—especially stove area; gas grill grates were very rusty, grill brush very greasy; no sponge; very worn out small frying pan; very poor chef knife; tiny coffee pot; need wine glasses, could use a small outdoor eating area; upstairs glass shower door needs adjustment; need kleenex.

Warm and inviting, gated community and nice views. It was a nice quiet getaway for my wife and I. Perfect for a couple or small family. Nice loft area upstairs to sit back and watch some TV after enjoying dinner, views and the fireplace downstairs.

Not as advertised. Way overcharged. Do not recommend.
Upon arrival to Horsin Around, we found the back door latch completely broken. We could not open from the inside or outside. Maintenance was called and they arrived in a timely fashion and made the required repairs. No apology. Didn't seem to care. Not a great first impression for a place advertised as a luxury getaway that was very expensive. We also discovered, when trying to connect my husband's laptop so he could work, that the wifi password did not work because someone changed the router, but did not change the book. "Maintenance" had no idea what we were talking about and were not helpful. There was a QR code on the bottom of the router that, at least, allowed us to connect our phones as their is no cell service on this mountain. My husband eventually used his phone to create a hub to use his laptop. This should not be what guests have to do at a luxury getaway. Next up: brought ingredients to make mixed drinks - blender in cabinet completely broken. The entire side cracked and the piece that holds in blade broken....the top of the blender was found melted in the bottom of the dishwasher. There was an unreasonable amount of flies in the house even considering that it has a horse paddock nearby. I estimate there were at least 30 dead flies and approximately 2 dozen live flies all over the house. Gross. The air tub that was bragged about in the advertisement did not work and is probably not safe. I took a bath, pressed the button to turn on air as described in book...nothing. Again, my husband us handy so he removed the access panel to discover it had been unplugged. He plugged it in and voila bubbles. One problem, it wouldn't shut off...probably why it was unplugged in the first place so we unplugged it again to turn it off. Felt unsafe and unpleasant. Lastly, as we were preparing to depart and loaded the dishwasher we realized that there was no dishwasher detergent. We left a note and we left several complaints at the visitors center, through VRBO, and with the supposed "rental manager". We have not heard a word back. No apology. No concern. No opportunity to make it right. Not even assurances that they fixed these problems for future guests. I will never stay at Leatherwood Resorts again and I would advise anyone who inquires to stay clear. Abysmal. Marie & Anthony Lammons

Weekend getaway
This location was absolutely amazing. The view was spectacular! The weather did not cooperate and it rained the whole time so that put a little damper on our activities. I would absolutely stay here again. The one issue we had was getting the information to properly check in. I never received the email so that was a little confusing but the office staff was wonderful and very helpful. Be warned there is no cell service in this area you must be connected to the wifi the host provides!

Beautiful Views!
Horsin' Around is a beautiful mid-sized cabin with breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge mountains. My wife and I wanted quiet, peaceful, secluded and that's what we found! Amenities are exactly as specified in the listing. There are no other cabins visible from this property. After a 5-8 minute drive (to what seems like the top of the mountain!) from the front gate of the Leatherwood Mountain Resort you are in a little slice of heaven. This area caters to horse lovers, but being a "horse-person" is not necessary. We will definitely be back! Already checking our dates for the future! Highly recommend Horsin' Around and Leatherwood Mountain resort!

We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and boy did we find it. Yes: cell reception is spotty - but my wife and I were able to use this opportunity to completely check out from our work and just enjoy the simple mountain life.
