The last slice of Ginger Cake Acres


Our mountain log cabin hideaway is nestled among a giant
rhododendron thicket in beautiful Ginger cake Acres. This
luxurious A-frame log cabin provides a private rustic experience
with elegant charm. Ours was the last cabin built by the original
developer, thus the name "The Last Slice". This casual friendly
mountain community is in the midst of all the attractions of the
Blue Ridge Parkway and North Carolina Mountains.
The 4000 foot altitude ensures spectacular fall colors, beautiful
spring wild flowers, cool breezes throughout the summer and a cozy
fireplace to warm you through the winter.
If you want to feel totally private and isolated just stay on the
large deck surrounded by the woods or in the great room with it's
lofted ceiling and wall of glass.
The cabin offers two bedrooms with full beds, a full bath, laundry,
and large great room with fireplace and fully equipped kitchen all
on the main floor. We also offer a landline with free long distance
as well as DirectTV on our 54in. Samsung Smart TV in the great room.
Upstairs there is a large loft bedroom with 2 queen beds as well as a tv with DirectTV.
We are just minutes from Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls,
Linville Gorge and Linville Caverns.
Nearby mountain communities such as Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Beech
Mountain, Valle Crusis and Boone offer a wide variety of food, shopping
and numerous festivals. Five Golf Courses and Four Ski Resorts within
twenty minutes offer downhill skiing, tubing, sledding, snowboarding
and ice skating.Gingercake offers miles of pathways and winding
roads for walking and biking.
Pets considered, no smoking inside! We invite you to enjoy the "Last Slice" of Gingercake Acres!

We loved the cabin and had so much fun. We brought our own games, but there were actually some there, so we had a wide variety. Great communication with our host, too.

Last slice
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin has great potential, however the bathroom downstairs needs to be updated. I will say, there’s great water pressure in the shower. The kitchen lights didn’t work over the sink. Would I stay there again? Yes I would.

Very cozy cottage with wonderful hosts
We had a great time in the last slice! It was a great home to reconnect with family we hadn’t seen in a while. Very charming and easy to feel at home. The hosts have been amazing. Very kind and easy to communicate with. I left some shoes and my kids toys at the cabin and they are willing to mail them to me which is so kind! My only feedbacks are I wish it was just a bit cleaner. Specifically in terms of dust/cobwebs. Additionally we used the grill provided (we had to bring charcoal and lighter fluid, no problem!) but I wish there would have been tools to use on their grill. There were no tongs and only a plastic spatula. I d fed up flipping burgers with a large metal spoon and a fork. Not. Major issue..but also a simple fix.

Great spot in the woods
Relaxing mornings waking up, making coffee, sitting on the porch and listening to the birds. Fire pit was a great place to tell jokes and hang out. And the hikes nearby were all amazing. Everything we needed out a cabin

Quiet and secluded
We only needed a place to relax in the evenings and get a good night's rest after the days' activities, and this place delivered. I am a light sleeper that lives where everyone has 10's of acres and I felt at home here. There were only 2.5 of us, but this place can sleep 6 very comfortably. The 4th bed is only conducive for a kid or 2. The cabin was well stocked. The cabinets/shelves were filled with dishware, glasses, coffee maker, crockpot, etc. The table seats 4, but there are TV trays and side tables in the den. This is an older cabin with older cabin quirks. It isn't as refined as a lot of options, but it is also priced accordingly. It is a nice proximity to skiing, Linville Caverns, Pisgah Forest, etc. There is a local trail head, a large deck & lots of chairs around the fire pit - plenty of outside activities right out the back door.

Great mountain location, needs additional management
It was a great location, with a lot of space. The linens did not seem fresh, towels were not in any restrooms (we had to search and find them in the laundry room). It was a great space, just needs to be cleaned/managed better to justify cost.

The house has a nice location surrounded by forest canopy. Lots of comfortable seating inside and out. I slept soundly hearing only crickets(?) and birds. We ventured out to meet up with friends in the neighborhood, there was everything we needed besides groceries. It was a great weekend.
