This home is over 100 years old. It was built by my great grandfather, then passed down to his only son, Coye Calhoun. In 1970 Coye sold the property to two Doctor brothers from Florida. They owned the cabin as their mountain vacation home for years. In the early 1990's my father, Doyle Calhoun had the opportunity to buy it back from the Vildibill's. We have owned it ever since and have turned it into our vacation rental and family fun place to escape reality and rat race of the world. It is rustic and vintage in appearance and furnishings, however, it is also a lot of fun to revert back to your imagination and creativity to keep you entertained while staying here. There is NEWLY ADDED Cable TV, WIFI Internet Service, CD player and an Electric organ for your entertainment. It has a soap stone fireplace that burns real wood, a tin roof, two porches for relaxing on, a creek with waterfall in the front yard that my ancestors used to bathe in before indoor plumbing.
The original out house is on site, original barn, grainery, and smoke house out buildings on the property. Only the cabin is opened to the public for use and enjoyment. We have a Christmas tree farm on the property too that my father has ran since the late 90's. At Thanksgiving and Christmas I like to decorate the cabin accordingly and offer my guests a chance to learn how to make a wreath or pick out a real tree to take home for the holidays.
We are centrally located in the town of Newland just 10 minutes to Grandfather Mountain, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. 25 minutes to Beech Mountain, Boone, Appalachian Ski Resort, ASU, Blowing Rock, Linville Gorge, Linville Caverns and Roan Mountain State Park in TN. Watauga Lake in Butler TN is also a great place for families and fun just 30 minutes from us. The mountains always offer LOTS to do and see. Come experience a magical, memory filled, majestic vacation with us in the heart of God's country Avery county North Carolina.
