NC Horseback Riding

Valle Crucis’s beautiful, lush valley land is the perfect backdrop for horseback riding, a very popular vacation activity in the High Country. There are several great NC Horseback Trail Guide Companies that host hourly and day long horseback riding trips on pristine, private lands. The closest trail guides to our NC Secluded Log Cabin Rentals are either Dutch Creek Trails or Chadi Farm. Dutch Creek Horseback Riding is located just off Highway 194 between Sugar Grove and Valle Crucis and offers something for both experienced and beginner riders. Riders are taken on an adventure ride through wooded forests, old farm fields, and through a valley that follows Dutch Creek. Call 828-297-7117; 828-297-1708 or 828-773-1034 to make a reservation. Chadi Farms offers a more intimate, trail riding experience as all of their trails are located on privately allocated family land in Valle Crucis. There are a variety of different trails, perfect for riders of all different levels. For a romantic evening out, or a special time in the winter, Chadi Farms offers horse drawn carriage rides, hayrides in the fall, and horse drawn sleigh rides in the winter after snow has fallen. Call 828-963-5399 for more information.
