Twenty minutes from downtown Blowing Rock and minutes off the Blue Ridge Parkway, it is in a private community, nestled in trees, with the sound of Lost Creek heard from the deck. Many amenities make your time at the cabin a cozy & comfortable one, including cable TVs in every room, WiFi, grill, fire table, and griddle. The kitchen is well stocked for preparing meals if you decide to stay in and enjoy the view.

The main living area is cozy with lots of warm, bright touches. Fleecy rugs and blankets , along with the gas logs keep your fingers and toes warm on cold evenings.

The view from the upper back deck is spectacular and there is an area for relaxing by a fire table, as well as an outside table to eat. A hot tub will adorns the deck to complete the spectacular views! Enjoy a glass of wine in the hot tub while it is snowing this winter!

Each bedroom and bath is on a separate level making this a fantastic home for vacationing couples as everyone can have their own space. The master bed and bath is on the main level and offers a whirlpool bathtub. There is a loft with a twin over full bunk bed and a futon as well as a pull out sofa bed in the basement to comfortably sleep 10. Spa towels and bath sheets stock the bathrooms. Two full size kitchens, one on the main level and one in the basement are fully stocked. The main kitchen has a coffee cart with coffees and teas.

The home is pet friendly and pets are welcome with a $100 non-refundable fee paid prior to arrival. The home is supplied with pet beds, bowls, and a watering station. The yard is fenced in to facilitate letting your pups out without having to walk down the mountain.

Whispering Winds Awenasa was a lovely cabin for a week long getaway. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of spices, etc., but the Blackstone griddle was a game changer. We left knowing we’re going to buy one for ourselves. The location was great - high enough that we were in the clouds one day - with beautiful views of the balcony on clear days.

The incredible mountain view, forest sounds and utter isolation were absolutely what we needed for some good rest and relaxation! What an incredible log cabin home with all you could want for both human and pet comforts ;-) Thanks to our host's recent upgrade, the wifi was fabulous and we had absolutely no problems with our laptops. We highly recommend you watch the sunrise and the sunset from the porches - just spectacular and a great way to start/end a day (especially if you're watching from the hot tub). The listing details were spot on and I loved the "house rules" posted in the cabin - especially this one: "in case of bear, panic!" Candace is truly a superhost who was quick to respond to questions and offer helpful ideas for local places! Oh, and here's one helpful hint: when you're nearing the cabin, take the driveway just before the fabulous, large gorilla statue (we named, "George") - our GPS took us further down the road, past George and that driveway and it was a pickle getting turned around...especially in the dark. Do enjoy Candace's cabin any and every chance you get with your family and pets in tow!

Our stay at Whistling Winds Awenasa was a little piece of heaven. The views were just beautiful and the cabin provided us with everything we could possibly need and more to enjoy our summer getaway. Our family enjoyed playing pool and shuffle board, evenings in the hot tub, and cooking a delicious variety of dinners with use of the grill, blackstone, and fully stocked kitchen. We had more space then we ever could have needed to spread out and relax as well as come together. This cabin would be great for large families or friends to vacation together. We love how close it was to downtown Blowing Rock for shopping or a delicious afternoon treat and proximity to so many great places for hiking, fishing, boating, and exploring while still being far enough to feel secluded and private. Communication about booking and information on our stay was swift and clear and questions were always answered fully. It was a joy to be able to bring our fur baby with us and there was so much available to her to make her stay comfortable too. She quickly felt right at home and had no trouble navigating where to go out and appreciated all the water bowls. Thank you for sharing your place with us we highly recommend!
