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!

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

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.

A great getaway
Ginger Cake had everything we wanted: a cozy cabin, room for all, plenty of kitchen ware, towels, etc., a lovely deck for hanging out to listen to the birds, and easy leaving (no bed stripping or cleaning, just leaving the place tidy). The homeowner was easily reachable when we had a question.

Very quite, relaxing and rustic setting
Had a great time for a couple days in the mountains trying to find snow for our 4 year old daughter. Sugar Mtn was not far away and also went to Grandfather Mtn.

Gingercake weekend
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.

Great location
Beautiful cabin, well stocked with dishes, linens, etc. Roomy for large family. Bring your own firewood. Lots of chairs outside. Very private and quiet. The house needs some TLC. Several maintenance issues.

Quiet cute cabin
My husband just loved the cabin, we really enjoyed our stay. Very quiet neighborhood. The only thing as a cook I'd love to see newer cookware and a large frying pan, but everything else was awesome.. we definitely will return. Will be booking soon , for next year...

Excellent stay!
Listing was very accurate. Excellent stay. We had everything we needed as far as dishware, cookware and utensils. The wrap around porch and gas fireplace were favorites. There is a nice area for outdoor fire pit but we unfortunately didn't have time to take advantage of it. I would stay here in the future. Thank you.

Felt like visiting family..
Enjoyed the stay, very comfortable. Everything that you might need was in the place. The only issue was the main TV downstairs has a sound bar that could not be turned down, no matter what we did. The mute buttom on the remotes did not work.

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.

Beautiful, peaceful and lovely setting
We kept marveling about the lush plants around this cabin. The first several days were sunny and pleasant and we spent the days on the deck. The cabin itself has dark wood paneling and leans toward having to leave lights on just to see where you’re walking. Furnishings are somewhat antique like the old sewing machine cabinet serves as a lamp table! Heat works extremely well as does hot water. We were very satisfied with the Jonas Ridge cabin

Absolutely perfect!!!
Just book this if you are visiting the area. It's nice and secluded but so close to all the attractions such as grandfather mountain, blowing rock, linville caverns and linville falls. This cabin is well maintained and does have Wi-Fi as there is no cell service you can use Wi-Fi calling or a home phone is provided. Victoria was super nice. Can't ask for a better cabin for the size, amenities, and the price. We have already decided that for future trips we will be coming here.

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.
