Idle Spur Cabin is located on a 2.5 acre lot at Leatherwood Mountain -- a gated community of second homes in the midst of North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. Blowing Rock, Boone and the Blue Ridge Parkway are about 15 miles to the northwest. A detailed map including satellite images is available here (courtesy of Google Maps).

As you enter the Leatherwood resort at the foot of the mountains, you'll pass the Welcome Center, the Elk Creek Inn restaurant, and plenty of recreational options, including an outdoor pool, tennis courts, game room, and even riding lessons. In fact, there are miles of trails on site.
