Welcome to Tweetsie Den! This charming log cabin situated on a hillside just outside Boone is a perfect home base for your High Country adventures!
The cabin offers a cozy, welcoming feel with hardwood floors and plush couches arranged around a stone woodburning fireplace. The kitchen has an eat-in counter and comes with all the basics you need for snacks and meals. Off the great room is a laundry room, a full bath with tub/shower, and a bedroom with two single Twin beds as well as a TV. Upstairs is the primary bedroom with a King bed and single Twin bed, and a private bath with shower.
Outside, kids and dogs can play safely in the fenced in yard. Enjoy the ambience of the gas firetable on the deck on cool mountain evenings!
History buffs will surely enjoy learning that the cabin's driveway was once part of the old ET&WNC railroad line - the line home to Engine #12 that ran through our area in the 1930's tooting her high pitched steam whistle that earned her the nickname "Tweetsie". Guests today can still experience the magic of mountain trains by visiting "Tweetsie", now over 105 years old, at her namesake theme park Tweetsie Railroad! On a clear summer day when the wind is just right, you might even hear her whistle faintly echoing through the mountains.
