About this property

Log cabin, Amazing long range views. 5 minutes to Black Mtn, 15 to Asheville.

Come celebrate in the gorgeous mountains of Black Mountain and enjoy long range mountain views at 3000 feet from the wraparound deck, gorgeous sunsets and town lights. We are only 5 minutes to downtown Black Mtn, 15 to Asheville. Downtown you will find unique mountain shops, great restaurants, breweries, music venues and more. Plenty of hiking trails nearby, along with bike trails. The cabin has 4 bedrooms, 3 downstairs, a queen bedroom, full bedroom and bunk room. There is a full bath with shower and a laundry room downstairs. The master bedroom is in the loft with a king bed, large soaking tub, bath and shower. The soaking tub has curtains for privacy and cannot be viewed from below. We have an endless hot water tank so you never run out of hot water. The main floor consists of the dining room, table seating for 6. The kitchen is well-stocked with condiments, spices, oils, blender, Mr Coffee, small Keurig, crock pot, nice potware. Plenty of extra paper products and cleaning products. There is a gas grill on the deck. The living room has a TV, with great wifi service and gas firelogs. We have French doors which provides a beautiful view of the mountains. There is a half bath on the main floor. We have plenty of parking with a long drive. We have a winding staircase that goes from downstairs to the loft. There are also stairs outside that provide access to the downstairs area. The neighborhood is very private and quiet. There is a computer desk in the loft. We are dog friendly, for more than 1, please let me know. No cats unfortunately allowed. We do charge a pet fee of $50. Black Mountain is very pet friendly and most restaurants and stores are very accommodative. We are open winter months and is a beautiful season with clear views of the mountain range. We will be fully decorated for Christmas. We do discount winter rates. We do have wall units A/C in the dining room, living room, loft, and an automatic A/C downstairs. We do have wall heat, a gas fireplace that works great to get the chill out in cooler months. We also have a gas stove downstairs that we only use if it is super cold, which is not usually the case. We have fans in each room. We are always available if needed.

Cabin Escape
We normally stay in another location in Black Mountain but that one was unavailable so we ended up booking this cabin getaway. The location of a Mountain Road is remote without feeling isolated and the cabin had all of the amenities we needed to feel at home. Rustic with modern conveniences and most of all of you that you'll remember beyond your stay. Mary the owner was very receptive to any minor issues we had during our stay.

Perfect cabin for Black Mtn vacation
Incredible views! So close to town and surrounding waterfalls and trails. Had great meals at unique restaurants in downtown Black Mtn. We loved hiking around Montreat and drove over to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Hopped onto the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiked around Mount Mitchell. The cabin itself was super clean and very comfortable. And the view! Just amazing. Tons to do and see in the area and you can’t go wrong staying at this cabin!

Black mountain cabin
The cabin was very nice and in an excellent location. The view is priceless. We really enjoyed staying here. Mary and black mountain in general were very dog friendly. We had a great time. Mary was very helpful in sharing info on hikes and other things we could do with our dogs. the spiral staircase was a little difficult with the dogs, but we were able to use the exterior stair case to go up and down with them.

Will stay here again and again!
This is the second time I've stayed at Mary's property, and it won't be the last. It is the absolute best of both worlds, having the "cabin in the woods" mountain feel while also being ~10 minutes away from the little town of Black Mountain and 20 minutes away from downtown Asheville. Mary is the absolute sweetest host and makes sure you feel at home!

Dreamy Mountain Views - Perfect for Annual Sister Trip
Our group of 6 adults and 1 fourth month old had a wonderful time at Mary's cabin. The views were unreal - we enjoyed coffee on the deck every morning, and there was plenty of space for our yoga mats as well! The living room is also privy to the remarkable mountain views, and had an easy to use gas fireplace. Mary had so many thoughtful touches - from fresh flowers, to fall decor, to lots of cozy throws. She also had a well stocked spice cabinet, little creams for coffee, and there was an abundance of paper products and towels. She was easy to communicate with, provided perfect directions down to the best way to access the driveway, and even accommodated our last minute request for an earlier check in. Also, the washer/dryer on site was wonderful as well. Hot water was plentiful - the bathtub in the loft was incredible and hot water lasted even for multiple back-to-back baths for our group. The few things to note/be aware of -- but would not change our five star rating, and we hope to be repeat visitors: 1) the queen bedroom in the basement has a closet, but no windows, and felt just slightly humid - but it was perfectly clean. It did not bother us enough to need to reach out to Mary, but FYI. 2) We wish we'd brought a few camping chairs with us to all sit on the deck more easily. Due to the rain, the picnic table never completely dried. The deck is well supplied w/ 2 rockers, and 3 higher outdoor chairs, but for a big group, a few more chairs would be nice! 3) Like others have mentioned, the spiral staircases are the only way to internally get to the basement and the only way to get upstairs. There is a great stairway outside for luggage ease, but the spiral stairs could be tight depending on body type and/or what you're bringing up.

Mountain Views in Cycling Paradise
Our cycling group needed a place to relax and enjoy after long rides in the Blue Ridge Mountains and the High Cabin worked out wonderfully. Amazing views off the surround porch where we would have breakfast and dinner with miles of mountain cycling in between including Mt. Mitchell summit out and back and a metric century loop from Black Mountain going around Lake Lure and on to Old Fort before returning to Black Mountain.
