Fergusons' Carolina Cabin has been enjoyed by hundreds of visitors to the High Country since we acquired it in early 1996. Many guests have commented that visiting our (Carolina) cabin is like staying at the home of an out-of-town friend. It has all the comforts of home, as well as the privacy of the woods, the beauty of the mountains and the activities of a resort area. Due to growing family and our desire to spend more time in the High Country, we acquired Carolina Cabin's twin, Mountainside Cabin, in 2002. A mirror image of one another, the cabins were built in the same year from the same plans on adjoining property. Together, they can accommodate up to 15 guests, making it suitable for large family gatherings.
Like every room in the cabin, the living/dining room has a cathedral ceiling. It also has clerestory windows and a stone fireplace which offers warmth and atmosphere after skiing or on cool summer evenings. Relax with cable TV, a video or dvd, or enjoy your favorite music on the stereo/CD/ cassette player. A small assortment of videos and CDs are provided. You can do all this while working on your laptop with the high speed wireless internet connection.
Handmade quilts cover the beds in the two vaulted-ceiling bedrooms, both of which open to the deck with glass doors. The master bedroom has a king size bed and is adjacent to the large (5 person) hot tub, which is a great comfort after skiing or hiking. On one side of the Jacuzzi room is a bathroom and on the other side is a small, private deck.
The second bedroom has twin beds and also opens to the deck with glass doors. The cozy sleeping loft is accessible from this bedroom by ladder and has two foam chair sleepers which unfold to twin size. A second bathroom serves this side of the cabin.
The dining room table seats six comfortably. For additional seating, four barstools line the counter that separates the kitchen from the living/dining room. The kitchen is fully equipped with range, refrigerator, microwave oven, dishwasher, dishes and cooking utensils. A washer and dryer are adjacent to the living/dining area.
A large deck runs along the front of the cabin and is accessible by big glass doors from each of the bedrooms and the living/dining room area. It is equipped with several chairs, a picnic table, and a gas barbecue grill. From this deck you can see the ski slope in the winter when the trees are bare.
The cabins were built in 1986 and are in very good condition. They are heated by electric wall units located in each room, making it comfortable even in the coldest weather. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms and living/dining area cool the cabin on warm summer days. Since the cabin is at approximately 4500' elevation, it is always cool in the evenings.
The cabins are located on beautiful Seven Devils Mountain, between Banner Elk and Boone, NC.
