Weekend Trip to Twin Oake at Linville
Fantastic location with an incredible view of the mountains, like camping but with all the modern comforts you’d need. Excellent kitchen and eating area, huge deck to sit outside on and a very nice bathroom. We did 3 days here and did not see one other person or car drive by - this place is PRIVATE. Great location as it’s close to Linville Gorge, caverns, Blowing Rock, Blue Ridge Parkway you name it.

Weekend Trip to joyville, camping site on elk creek
My Family of three stayed in a small cabin right by Elk Creek. We had breakfast on a little balcony overlooking the creek. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Got there during the dark, so not having to setup a tent was certainly a benefit. Dianne is a great host and so very friendly and helpful!

Weekend Trip to joyville, camping site on elk creek
Garry and Dianne were so kind to share their lovely log cabin with our family. Dianne was especially kind and sweet, and we truly appreciated their hospitality. The cabin was beautifully prepared for us, and there was plenty of space to pitch a tent right outside. Our kids especially loved fishing by the stream and roasting s’mores by the campfire. It was such a fun and relaxing getaway for all of us. We’ll definitely try to come back in the future!

Dianne went above and beyond to ensure my boys and I had a comfortable stay. She made us feel safe and right at home. My boys felt so at ease with her that I had to go looking for them a couple of times bc they’d run off in search of her company! She was truly a joy and we would come back if we ever visited the area again.

As usual, my stay at the log cabin was wonderful and peaceful. A great place to escape and get some focused work on. They are also working on upgrades and I am looking forward to seeing the new improvements when done.

Weekend Trip to joyville, camping site on elk creek
Dianne was welcoming and friendly. The area is beautiful. We stayed in the cabin at Site 3. The creek is right behind the cabin, with a lovely back deck overlooking the water. There's a table and chairs on the deck. It was perfect for sitting outside to enjoy the view and listen to the sound of the creek while playing cards, and for eating our breakfast. There was a box fan provided with the cabin and since we were there in a terrible heat wave it definitely helped. I would recommend bringing additional fans if visiting in the heat of summer. There were some inflatable tubes for use in the creek. The kids had a blast!

Beautiful spot just 20 min. drive in to Boone. Their gravel Rd. alone made a good hike up for exercise, wide, didn't have to battle weeds or wet rocks/roots. Stream next to camping spot a real plus for swimming hole/dog swim. Water's cold! Facilities spare yet comfortable, nice porch, extra room add-on with screens, not sure what they're gonna turn that into, but their mattresses were comfortable and perfect to sleep on in my sleeping bag liner. Didn't meet Garry but Dianne was a good hostess, made herself available and stayed out of our hair. Separate kitchen with large shelf was perfect to cook/prepare/store on without using up the picnic table. We didn't have a fire or use their wooden dowels to roast marshmallows, but nice touch! Port-a-jon kept clean as was the cabin, she must vacuum the walls things were without cobwebs! We used the floor fan 2nd night. Great stay!, I'd go back!

We really enjoyed staying in the log cabin at Garry and Dianne's place. The sound of the rushing water at night was very relaxing and we had a great view of the full moon rising over the distant mountains. The area is perfect for nature lovers. Their dogs were friendly and got along well with our pup.

This place is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest welcome by Dianne, she’s incredibly kind, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about her guests. She made sure we had everything we needed and even checked in on us during our stay to ensure we were comfortable. The location itself is stunning, peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a getaway. My husband, friends and I had an unforgettable time camping under the stars, swimming in the refreshing creek, river tubing, and grilling. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and be hosted by someone who truly goes above and beyond, this is it. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much Gary and Dinanne for sharing your piece of paradise.
