Vilas real estate

What if your next escape didn’t require a reservation? This fully furnished mountain cabin is waiting for spontaneous weekends and lifelong traditions. A hidden haven in one of the most cherished corners of the Blue Ridge—welcome to The Homestead in Valle Crucis—a sought-after community tucked into the quiet, forested landscape, where life slows down and the mountain air is fresh. This cedar cabin, lovingly maintained, sits on 2.5 acres of peaceful, wooded land—this home has been cherished by one family since it was built—and it shows. Every board, beam, and stone tells a story of care and intention. Fully furnished (yes, right down to the silverware), this home is truly turn-key—ready for you to show up, unpack a bag, and start making memories. Step inside to a soaring great room with vaulted ceilings and a stunning wood-burning stone fireplace that anchors the space in warmth and rustic charm. The open-concept living and dining areas are spacious enough to host holiday dinners, rainy day puzzles, or impromptu dance parties—whatever your mountain life calls for. The space opens to not one—but two—incredible outdoor living spaces: The wraparound deck and screened-in porch offer countless spots to relax and reconnect with nature—read a book, sip a glass of wine, or listen to the wind moving through the trees. Whether you’re watching fireflies in the summer or snowfall in winter, this home invites you to slow down. The main level features a well-appointed kitchen with ample storage, a powder room, and a thoughtfully expanded primary suite. The addition, completed by VPC Builders, includes a custom tile walk-in shower, thoughtfully designed sitting nook, and a walk-in closet—making this bedroom feel like a separate sanctuary tucked away just for you. Upstairs, a spacious loft offers flexible space for movie nights, extra guests, or a kid-friendly hideout. Downstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, an office, a full bath and a laundry room—Whether you’re bringing the whole family or hosting friends for the holidays, everyone will have space to unwind. This is more than just a second home—it’s your basecamp for all things High Country. Spend your summers exploring nearby trails, floating the river, or braving the zipline. In winter, you’re just a short drive from skiing, snow tubing, and the cozy mountain towns of Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk. And all year long, you’re just minutes from the Valle Crucis Park and the iconic Mast General Store–where timeless charm and community spirit are still alive and well. Best of all, it’s located just minutes from the Valle Crucis Community Park and the original Mast General Store—where timeless charm and community spirit are still alive and well. If you’re looking for a place to unplug, reconnect, and create lasting memories, this cabin is ready to welcome you home.

Please note that this area did sustain quite a bit of damage from Helene-The home itself didn't have damage but the covered front porch roof did. The sellers removed and chose not to replace. Lastly, the actual drive to the house has fallen trees & the sellers are working to find someone who can help get this area cleared. The neighbors have graciously over the years allowed the sellers to use their driveway but they have a very informal agreement and a shared road agreement would be most beneficial for the neighbors to access each of the properties.

Sweet mountain cottage on a bold creek! Perfectly located between Boone and Banner Elk with Valle Crucis school district. Prepare to love this rustic, cozy home that packs so much in. Beautiful old stone fireplace is the center of attention in the living room. Convenient kitchen with all you need. Main floor primary bedroom and full bath and 2nd bedroom. Second level due to the age of the home has lower ceiling height and will not be counted in an appraisal. It is a great space with a bedroom, half bath and niche game area. But outside is where the fun begins, great wrap-around deck with BBQ, hot tub and fire pit! Fenced dog run is a nice feature. Currently a vacation rental, but would make a lovely year round home.
