Welcome To Your Gorgeous Log Cabin!

This is what you come to the High Country for: captivating, relaxing spaces – inside and out. Bring Fido and the whole family to enjoy this mountain haven with all the comforts of home, including the luxury of space.

No one has to feel crowded at Kapena Escape – and no one has to compromise. Multiple master bedrooms comfortably accommodate couples, with king-size beds and bonuses like double vanities in the bathroom, or walk-out access to the hot tub. The house sleeps 12 and includes 2 king beds, 1 queen bed, 1 full bed and extra futons. There are also 3 and a ½ baths.

Sit a spell in the rocking chairs on your wide wrap-around deck, soaking in the view of the lake directly in front of you and the majestic mountains cresting the horizon. Or take in the view from the hot tub! When you're ready for indoor entertainment, you'll find a lower-level media room with a flat screen TV, popcorn station, lots of games, and of course satellite connections for the TV and Wi-Fi for the Internet.

You'll love this home's tasteful décor and rustic mountain touches. You'll also be fully-equipped to handle any kitchen projects you want to take on, with pots, pans, dishes and a nice outdoor grill – at your service. All linens are included as well, and there's a washer and dryer for your convenience.

Although most High Country homes are well-cooled by our sweet summer mountain breezes, we've also outfitted your vacation get-away with central air conditioning and ceiling fans. In the winter, the fireplace provides lots of snuggling opportunities.

This home was built with your comfort and enjoyment in mind. It's located in a gated log cabin community with paved roads. There's even a garage to keep your car comfy!

Explore The High Country

Kapena Escape is located in the heart of the High Country, which offers visitors a wide spectrum of attractions and outdoor recreation. You're close to restaurants and terrific shopping in West Jefferson, including antique stores and art galleries. There's even a quaint movie theater. This is small-town Americana at its finest.

Drive a little further to Boone or Blowing Rock, for an even wider assortment of dining, entertainment and shopping options. Tour the campus of Appalachian State University, or visit our craft breweries. And remember that here in the High Country, the journey is as satisfying as the destination, with gorgeous scenery at every turn.

Or take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, for the most amazing vistas and scenery. It was voted one of the top 10 drives in the country for a reason.

In the winter enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing or ice skating at one of the many area resorts. In spring or summer, the New River offers tubing, kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Warmer months are also a perfect time for horseback riding, hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or bicycling through the area's many scenic routes. If you're a sportsman, don't forget to take advantage of our outstanding trout and small bass fishing.

Or – just sit on the porch and feel the stress of the city melt away.

Wonderful mini vacation
This property was wonderful for our mini vacation close to West Jefferson. It was a very clean house. With a well stocked kitchen. The back porch was great for relaxing and watching the Deer that came out in the yard and the hummingbird’s feeders.

Perfect getaway from everyday life!
This was the perfect getaway for a family of 5. Plenty of sleeping areas and bathrooms to accommodate everyone. The pond out back was nice for the kids to be able to fish during down time and still be able to watch them from the deck. All the fun things was within an hour drive to do and the mountain scenery made it a great drive everytime. We highly recommend renting this this cabin unless it’s on days we plan to return!

Basinger stay
This cabin was wonderful so clean and well stocked. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. We had space for our entire family of 8. And the fur babys. The only thing I would change is fence around the house so we could let the dogs out to run. Besides that this place is perfect. Thank you for letting us celebrate my husbands birthday here loves it.

Decent stay with no view though! Too noisy inside
The house by itself was in a beautiful location. But, it had no views of the lake or anything from the actual living room. It only had a view of the lake from the bedroom downstairs. The upstairs mattress is like sleeping on a rock. The couches still had some dog hair and we got itchy sitting on it. And it was very noisy, cos it was all barn doors. No privacy in any of the bedrooms except the basement. Overall it's a 3/10

Lovely Cabin
Everything was lovely here. We saw wildlife just about everyday we were there. So close to town for a bite to eat, groceries or just to shop. Also close to the parkway to drive for the day. Would definitely book again!

Nice trip to the mountains
We had a very nice stay. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking in. The gated community is nice but not very private. The main bedroom upstairs needs more blinds. Two of the four windows are not covered and sleeping in past sunrise is tough. Plenty of room for all. We enjoyed our stay. Would rent again.

Wonderful cabin!
This property far exceeded expectations. We had a wonderful stay. It was just my spouse and I, with a brief visit by our daughter (App State student). However there would have been plenty of room for several friends or family members here. The photos do not do this cabin justice. It was inviting, comfortable and peaceful. The secure community is quiet and truly lovely. We will definitely stay here again.
