The Blue Ridge Parkway is about 7 miles away with an access point at the top of Elk Creek Rd on old 421. The closest grocery store is Food Lion located at the intersection of 421 and Old 421 across from Tractor Supply. There is RV camping and horseback riding near by at Leatherwood Mountain Resort. Local wineries and breweries abound including Appalachian Mountain Brewery, Boonshine Brewing, Grandfather Vineyards, Banner Elk Winery and so many others. So much to do!!!! Make sure to also check out the Lil' Hidden Creek Gem mine located about 1 mile past the back gate of Powder Horn. Call ahead and they will get mining buckets ready for the little ones!

Firewood for the fireplaces can be ordered for $10 per bundle prior to arrival. We also have a local Doula who's information is included in your check in instructions. If you need cribs, high chairs, or other kid items including baby monitors, baby gates etc she is a great resource and will deliver directly to the house prior to your arrival.

Great layout for large gatherings. Lots of sleeping space, good layout of bathrooms, nice that the kids have their own living space downstairs. Spacious wrap around outside deck space. String lights for the back deck don't work. Kitchen could use freshening; while the cabinets and drawers are full, some things are pretty worn, if there's kitchen ware you really need to feed a crowd, recommend bringing with you.

mountain charmer!

This property was clean, comfortable and really lovely. Plenty of space for a crowd, with several bedrooms on the main level, which matters for us because we travel with an 87 year old family member who struggles with stairs. The kitchen was very well equipped and labeled. Powder Horn Mountain, although a little remote, had a really beautiful pool area and a fantastic stream area near the campground for creek stomping. All in all, this was a really delightful place for a low-key family get together.

Great stay!

We had the best time at Acorn Cottage. The house was decorated beautifully and had the necessities we needed in the kitchen and throughout the house. Property management was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed on arrival. Thank you for a beautiful home away from home, we will definitely be back!
