Contemporary Rustic may sound like a contradiction in terms, but you'll understand the term when you see the Black Dog cabin with modern styling. It expands on image we think when we hear "cabin." Black Dog is set on 13 private acres on the northern side of Ashe County, and if peace and quiet is what you want, you'll enjoy this home's wooded acreage. With luck, you'll spot deer or turkey and a multitude of birds and perhaps a raccoon. You can hike or take it all in from a comfortable seat on the spacious decking surrounding the house. Inside, the vaulted wood ceilings enhance the mountain feeling, and lots of windows flood the Black Dog with light and make sure the outdoors is a part of your day no matter what the weather.

You'll enter through the foyer, and immediately want to look up and take in the space. In the sun-filled living room, a bank of windows along one wall with sliding doors along the other bring nature inside. Relax here in the morning, or on the deck beyond, or chill in the evening with a movie on the comfy leather furniture. Speaking of chilly, during the cooler seasons you'll love the warmth of a fire in the brick fireplace.[Firewood is not provided.]

The kitchen offers everything you'll need, with plenty of counter space for preparing your meals. From the window at the kitchen sink, get a view of the surrounding woods, and are only steps away from a gas grill.

The dining room overlooks the porch and woods beyond through large sliding doors. Nature is a key element of this home's design.

Black Dog offers one floor living, so regardless of age or physical ability, your friends and family can enjoy a visit to the mountains. The master bedroom offers a good night's rest in a queen-size bed, and the adjoining bath has double vanities and a tub/shower combination. The other two bedrooms have comfy double beds, and share a bath.

The cabin has a dedicated laundry room with a utility sink, perfect for longer stays. .

Location, Location, Location.

The Black Dog is located in the perfect spot for someone who wants to explore the area's best fishing spots, being close the famous Helton Creek. From this location, it's only 30 minutes to the outstanding Grayson Highlands State Park, where wild ponies will greet you up on the Massie Gap Trail - if you're there in the spring you might see the foals. Great hiking, and a replica of a historic mountain settlement, an interesting exhibit of the history of the area and more.

And not too far from Grayson Highlands is Damascus, Virginia, a quaint mountain town that is in the middle of the Virginia Creeper Trail, famed for bicycling (you can rent them there, and get a shuttle ride to White Top), walking and horseback riding along the old railroad bed, crossing trestles over one of the most beautiful creeks around.

West Jefferson is less than 30 minutes away, and once there you'll enjoy a stroll through all our great shops, galleries and restaurants. You are the same distance away from the New River Outfitters if you want to enjoy some time on the river in a kayak, canoe or inner tube.

We are lucky to have Molley Chomper Hard Cidery in Lansing, less than 15 minutes away, where you can do a taste testing of the large variety of flavors on offer. Close by to the cider mill is Pie On the Mountain, known for their great pizza. It's just across the road from the Lansing Creeper Park with a walking trail and monthly Music in the Barn concerts.

Of course, you might not want to go anywhere. If so, you've picked an ideal spot to get away from it all.
The Black Dog is pet friendly with a $50/per dog pet fee.
