Cabin in Bakersville

5 out of 5 average rating, 168 reviews

Fireplace+Japanese Tub+Chef Kitchen+Serene Views

Perched on a hill above the N. Toe River at the end of the road you’ll find Dougs Way, a modern cabin with huge picture windows that frame long range mountain views as if it were art. Surrounded by old oaks and loblolly pines, the property is quiet and never cookie cutter. You’ll love the Japanese soaking tub, two-sided fireplace, gourmet kitchen, robust coffee/tea setup, and the true craftsmanship found in the artwork and handmade details like the bent cherrywood “cloud” above the dining table!
