HOW LINCOLN LOGS CAME TO BE
What began as two friends exploring the remote hollows of Appalachia on vacation has flourished over the years from a humble idea into this mountain home shared between our two ever-growing families. From the very beginning, we knew this area, and the people who call it home, were something special that can only be found here. Centrally located among the region’s most captivating natural landscapes and historic townships while still being shrouded deep in the foothills, Lincoln Logs gives our families and our guests the opportunity to design exactly the type of getaway they want with each visit. Whether you are looking for a cinematic adventure outdoors or looking forward to peacefully staying in, there is truly something for everyone.
The mountains, the river, the small-town feel with enough to do that you never run out of reasons to stay another day– for us, Blue Ridge quickly became the kind of place where we would start planning our next trip back before the current one is over.
WHY LINCOLN LOGS?
Our cabin is built from hand-hewn logs, and the name felt honest. Lincoln Logs is what it looks like: a real log structure in the mountains, the kind you’d put together from a Christmas set as a kid. No clever branding, no invented backstory. Just a name that fits.
OUR FAMILY
Nicole grew up with a deep appreciation for hospitality done right. She spent two decades working in high-end hotels and resorts, learning what it actually takes to make guests feel taken care of. Outside of work, she and her family spent those same years traveling the world and staying in owner-operated properties across Europe, South America, and the American South. They know firsthand what separates a forgettable rental from one you talk about for years.
Between us, we have spent two decades working in high-end hospitality and two more staying in owner-rented properties across the world. We know what it feels like when a host gets it right and what it feels like when they don’t. When we found Lincoln Logs, we knew we had the chance to get it right.
WE’RE INVESTED IN BLUE RIDGE, NOT JUST THE PROPERTY
There is a version of vacation rental ownership that treats a community as a commodity. That’s not us. Blue Ridge is not a market opportunity for us. It is the place we chose, the people we know, and the land we are committed to taking care of.
The Jennings family shops local, supports Blue Ridge businesses, and tries to leave the land around the cabin in better shape than they found it. When guests ask for recommendations, they give them the honest ones, not the sponsored ones.
WHAT A STAY WITH US ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE
We want you to feel like you are staying with family, not renting from a stranger. That means the cabin is stocked for your arrival, the details are taken care of, and if something comes up you can reach us directly. We are not a call center, we don’t automate or outsource conversations; we answer you in real time with real information and work real solutions to ensure your visit is exceptional.
If any unexpected needs arise during your stay, you have a direct line to us and we will respond. That is our promise, not a policy.
