About this property
Mammaw's Lakefront Cabin bordering The Blue Ridge Parkway
- Experience the authenticity of Mammaw and Pappaw Darnell’s home place ½ miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway and across the street from the Raccoon Holler Campground lake. The beautiful lake is right in front of the home place. Used to about 5 years ago, there was no water or bathroom in this cabin. After Mammaw passed away, it was our dream to restore the home and leave the rooms as Mammaw had them in order to share the love of the cabin with others. Now complete with granite counter tops, hardwood floors, and whirlpool tub with it has all the modern day luxuries. You will really enjoy your time here – two bedrooms (i.e., three full beds as two are upstairs in one room), full bathtub, separate shower, washer dryer, dishwasher microwave, hardwood floors, natural beams etched with pine hardwood to provide the rustic cabin feel yet with the modern day appliances of comfort including flat screen cable television.
This property also has RV hookup. If you have RV, you can connect it all here
Sit on the front porch and look at the lake, view the lake from the kitchen, living room and upstairs bedroom. This home place offers authenticity and comfort. Convenient to Jefferson and West Jefferson, 22 miles out the Blue Ridge Parkway to Boone and a mile from the famous Northwest Trading Post, right off the Blue Ridge Parkway, 15 miles from Wilkesboro, come home to Raccoon Holler

Very nice cabin
The inside of the cabin is beautiful! Some of the pictures makes you believe you have access to the lake. You do not! It is owned by a camp ground and they have no choice words to make sure you know it and stay away. Keys are in a lock box but my communication said they would be under a mat. Never was communicated the code to the lock box until the owners mother happen to drive by. She seemed more surprised than I did that I hadn't been told. They claim the wifi operates without a password but look on the fridge for it. Also don't trust any the phone numbers they provide in their communications. All wrong numbers but if you do get inside they are on the fridge as well. Overall a very nice cabin but access and communication is a pain.

Peaceful little cabin
Very quiet, peaceful and clean. Well stocked with all necessities. Great porch and view of pond. Slept great. TV didn’t work in downstairs bedroom which wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. Upon contacting property manager about it, she responded quickly and offered to provide a solution. The owner was also responsive and provided excellent information prior to stay.

Peaceful in the holler
Lovely location with beautiful scenery of the lake. This cabin had everything we needed and was conveniently located close to West Jefferson. We enjoyed spending time on the front porch and walking our dog around the property. We did get to meet Wanda who was so sweet. The cabin was comfortable and will definitely visit again. Our pets were intrigued by the stuffed raccoon, too. Lol!

Great cabin, not so great bed.
The cabin was just as described; quaint, clean, came with everything we needed and had a pleasant view of the pond access the road. Owner and manager were super accommodating. Our only negative was that the master bedroom bed was both uncomfortable and very loud. We had a very poor nights sleep.

House is nice but sits on the road and the lake is across the road - picture is misleading. No phones, fire place didn’t work nor did the satellite.

Peaceful and very beautiful
We enjoyed our stay at Mammaw's Lakefront Cabin. When we arrived everything was so quaint, just like when I was young, it had that homey atmosphere. The beds were very comfortable. It rained most of the time that we were there but it was beautiful in the morning when we woke up and the fog was over the lake. I didn't realize that the cabin is so close to the Parkway. The GPS took us in different directions each time we left to go somewhere; but once took us down the Parkway and when we turned off onto Possum Hollow Rd. there it was. When you stay you must go into West Jefferson and go to the Ashe County Cheese Factory. The town has lots of shops that are awesome as well. We will definitely be making reservations to return next fall. Thanks for the hospitality.
