Amazing place and view

Easy to get to and find, perfect place for some peace and tranquility. The view was spectacular from both the living room and bedroom. Steps are a bit of a challenge with luggage but the stay well offset that. Process was easy and owners respond quickly. We'll definitely be going back, hopefully for a longer stay.

Loved Ruffin’ It

Wonderful cabin. Plenty of room for the ten of us. Cozy den with fireplace. Lots of pots and pans for cooking. Overall excellent experience. If you plan to go, you need to know that the cabin is down a set of stairs, so pack easy to carry bags! We will visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Mick & Aynsley Zulpo

Our family fell in love with Buck Mountain in 2007 when we bought a vacation home. After years of making the drive from Fuquay Varina for holidays and weekends we decided full time was for us! We live here now full time and love all the area has to offer. We wanted to share the memories we were creating with others, and decided to buy another property to rent mid 2020. Most weekends you will find us on the mountain as well enjoying all it has to offer with our two boys and two dogs! We also own The Block in N. Wilkesboro! If you are looking for a fun day in downtown N. Wilkesboro come see us to jump at our trampoline, ninja warrior, Roller skating, arcade, GellyBall (splatterball gun) arena and toddler park!

Why they chose this property

Ruffinit gives renters the option of taking day trips around the high country, or just sitting back enjoying the view. Ruffinit sits in the middle of 3 great mountain towns. North Wilkesboro, West Jefferson and Boone all 30 minute drive. With all the hiking trails, waterfalls and picnic/hammocks on the mountain you may not want to leave!
