The space
Welcome to Little Mountain A-Frame, a peaceful cabin retreat tucked into 7 private acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Known for its cozy nooks and beautifully curated details, our cabin is more than a stay: it’s an experience.
Step inside and feel right at home in the blend of Scandinavian and bohemian designs. A modern gas fireplace flickers in the heart of the cabin, casting a cozy glow on wood beams and a 28' high arched ceiling. Every corner is designed with comfort in mind - soft blankets, warm lighting, and furniture you can sink into.
Here, you won’t find a TV.. purposefully! We designed and built our cabin with the idea that it should be a true escape, and part of that is mindfully unplugging from it.
And honestly, these days, don't we all want something that feels a little far removed from the hectic daily world we live in?
We focused on providing things you can really connect with. You can dive into a story from our library of personally selected books, pick out a vinyl record to play on our Victrola, or simply sit by the fire and enjoy uninterrupted conversation. Our a-frame is all about connection: to nature, to your partner, to your friends, to yourself.
(But don't worry - we do have high speed Starlink internet should you need it for work or streaming on your own devices.)
We’ve made sure the outside is cozy too. Step out on to the back deck, frequently called everyone’s favorite spot, where a cedar hot tub and outdoor living area awaits under our big chestnut oak tree (he makes the space feel like a treehouse, too!). Soak under the open sky while surrounded by trees and the sounds of nature. It’s the perfect place to stargaze or simply enjoy the feeling of peace and quiet.
What makes us special:
• Two separate bedrooms with memory foam queen size beds - one upstairs, one downstairs.
• Two separate bathrooms with floor to ceiling tiled walk in showers - one upstairs, one downstairs.
(Because who wants to go on vacation and have to share a bathroom!!)
• Scandinavian gas fireplace in the living room for the ultimate cozy cabin vibes.
• Private cedar hot tub under the stars.
• No TV - intentionally unplugged for reading, connection, and conversation.
• Fully functioning kitchen - stocked with pots, pans, bakeware, dinnerware, and different types of glassware.
• Comfy outdoor spaces - a hammock, a Solo Stove fire pit with Adirondack chairs.
• Charcoal grill and tools.
• Certified Wildlife Habitat - it's not uncommon to see deer, rabbits, and all kinds of native animals.
• Adults-only - perfect for couples, solo travel, or close friends.
• Dog friendly with *no extra fee!*
Whether you’re savoring coffee on the deck, listening to music while dinner simmers, or taking golden-hour photos you’ll want to frame, our a-frame retreat offers the kind of getaway that lingers in your memory long after you’ve left.
And while you might easily want to spend every minute enjoying all of that relaxing magic, if you're also looking for some adventure, Old Fort and the surrounding areas are home to some of the best hikes, mountain biking, fly fishing, waterfalls for swimming, and scenic drives in all of North Carolina.

Sure! Please reach out and let us know that you'll be working with a photographer during your stay. If you need recommendations, feel free to ask!
- "Do you allow commercial photography?"
Commercial photography is not allowed at our property without prior approval. This includes social media content creation for brands! If you are interested in using our property for commercial photography, please contact us to discuss the property release form and commercial licensing fee in advance. This fee can still be collected if you book without disclosure.
- "We really want to stay but there's five of us."
We are flexible on adding one additional guest past our regular maximum of four but please understand that the entire cabin is set up for four people at most. This means we have seating for four, glassware/plates for four, linens for four, etc.
We would love to host you! Please consider purchasing travel insurance when you reserve your dates, as we do stick to our cancellation policy and do no make exceptions.

- During inclement weather, access to our cabin will only be an issue if I-40 is closed. You do not need AWD or 4WD, but our driveway is steep. If you aren't comfortable with that, we do have a flat parking area on the right side of the road just past the cabin. We recommend using that area if heavy rain or snow is in the forecast.
- PET POLICY: Dogs are welcome! We are dog owners ourselves, we love our four legged friends and we invite you to bring yours along with you. We do not charge an extra pet fee, but we do limit the number to 3 and dogs only. We do not have a fenced in area and, while not common, we do have bears and other animals typical to the mountains. Please do not leave your pets unattended outside. You are responsible for their behavior during your stay and can be held liable for any damages.
- We have a Ring doorbell camera on the front door. This is our only security camera and is to protect our cabin as well as your belongings during your stay. We will not access this camera during bookings unless in case of an emergency.
