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!

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.

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.

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

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.

Cleanliness was not a priority
The things we noticed were: The fridge was not clean. The bathroom ceiling has mold starting to grow on it. There are cobwebs all over and especially in the bathroom and I mean dirty have been there a long time cobwebs. In the bathroom when I looked down next to the toilet there was a qtip stuck between the baseboard and wall. The sheets in 2 rooms had not been washed. There was hairs at the foot of the bed. My husband checked every bed before we got in them so it wasn’t our hairs. We washed the sheets and when we took one of the pillowcases off there was a blood stain. The coffee maker has mold in it. The tea kettle had water sitting in it and it wasn’t from us. The place needs a really good cleaning. On the minor side there weren’t any hangers. What hangers there were in the closet were in use by the owner. I did let the owner know these issues and the refunded the cleaning fee which I appreciate but this was our first vacation in years so it would have been nice to not have to clean as much as we had to. And we had to buy cleaning supplies because there wasn’t enough at the house to clean. The location is nice and peaceful. But would not stay again just not impressed which is sad because it really could be a cool place.

Good cabin in the woods
My family and I had a good time at the cabin. The driveway is hard to find in the dark, GPS was no help. We had a lot of space to sleep for us all on the comfy beds. The kids had fun playing outside and relaxing in the hammocks. Loved the gas fireplace and wood throughout. The downside our family noticed is a lot of spiderwebs everywhere, along with a large spider we had to get out. We would recomend getting an outdoor heater for the porch/deck. Also a large nonstick pan would be appreciated. The service there is awful, our cellphone service on 5 different phones would not work at the cabin. (We could not get the tv to work with all the remotes and could not call or text the owners due to lack of service.) We would stay again, but bring raid and plan on having no cellphone service. :)
