Come and stay at The Husk Homestead – a unique, private cabin retreat with lovely views located
above the town of Lansing, NC. The Husk Homestead is an authentic, antique log cabin dating back
to the 1890s. Originally constructed in the hills of the Husk-Nella community above Big Horse Creek
in northern Ashe County, it was moved to its present location in the late 1970's. This cabin has all its
hand-hewn charm, but you'll still find all the modern conveniences.
The living room features a stone hearth made from the cabin's original chimney stone, along with a standing wood stove. You'll find an antique, restored clawfoot tub with shower attachment waiting for you in the bath. The updated kitchen, including dishwasher and microwave, is fully stocked with all utensils, dishes, and cookware required to cook a gourmet meal. Or feel free to just fire up the gas grill and throw on some steaks. Don't forget to pick your own vegetables from our seasonal garden. Remember to plan on fresh yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes or cucumbers to compliment your meal. If the garden is overflowing, please help yourself and take home a veggie or two for later. Hang out on the wrap around porch in the swing, hammock, or one of the ole rocking chairs and gaze at the mountain views. You'll love sitting and enjoying the cool mountain air and visits from the local hummingbirds. If you're lucky, you may get a visit from The Bickerson's, our friendly little pair of house wrens who have taken up residence in the red barn birdhouse in the top of the porch. Four legged friends are welcome at our home and there is even a fenced in yard for exercise & play. An afternoon shower won't bother you at The Husk Homestead as you listen to the rain patter on our red tin roof. The large upstairs bedroom, the Horse Room, features a queen size bed and is decorated with all things equine. The smaller bedroom, The Tree Room, features a full size bed and is decorated with tree motifs and artwork by local artists. The downstairs living room also features a full size futon for extra guests, bringing the sleeping capacity for the cabin to six. The third floor finished attic serves as a Creativity Room - perfect for the artist in residence, or for kids to color and play games. There is a washer and dryer for your use, and satellite TV service insures you won't miss your favorite show or special sporting event. There is also a stereo with a CD player.
