Wild turkeys visit. So do herons, ducks, and Canada geese. And deer, chipmunks, rabbits, possums, woodpeckers, and hummingbirds... for starters.
So join 'em! Leave the real world insanity behind for a getaway to Angel Mountain Cabin, nestled in the woods with a view that merely hints of Ashe County magic. You'll quickly see why the critters keep coming back!
Walk to the New River State Park and its maintained trails or down the nearby country road to the river itself. Hike the on-site trails to the top of Angel Mountain or feed the fish in the two ponds on the premises (just ignore their claims that they haven't been fed lately).
Or do nothing.
And then take a nap.
The cozy cabin sports a covered front porch and large deck along the side and across the back. It's hard to decide which is more spectacular - the sunset or the stars; to be privy to either one is a divine gift.
The picnic table in the backyard is ready for table games, bird-watching, reading, writing, pondering, or conversation. Or a picnic!
The mini great room includes a furnished kitchen, dining table, and full-size futon. A queen-size bed, bathroom, TV, and loft storage space are
located in a separate bedroom. All linens and paper products (and a few treats!) are provided.
Amenities include air
conditioning, heating, two ceiling fans, satellite TV/DVD/VCR,
phone (unlisted), charcoal grill, and an abundance of peace,
quiet, and nature's simple treasures.
And It's Winter!
(Apologies for the dinky sizes; someone needs a camera tutor. Still.)
So long, Fall!
(And somehow the pictures have shrunk. Someone needs to learn how to work the camera. Sheesh.)
Oh, summer...
These little piglet chipmunk shots were taken by cabineer Dwain Snyder (Snyder Photography),
using a remote camera... and just a bit of bribery!
Take a peek at a few other visitors we've had around here!

The Resident Hairballs
Kali, resident blonde, celebrates unearthing a ball, having grass, hearing a bird, seeing blue sky, seeing a dandelion, finding pond chow....
Emma, resident 'supervisor,' is taking a break from, um, supervising.
Sami, resident tormenter, caught in a rare moment of not tormenting. That's not to say she isn't mulling it over....
