About this property

Welcome to Winghaven & Asheville. Secluded yet close to shops and food

The Cottage at Winghaven is a light filled log cabin located less than 20 minutes to Asheville. The Cottage is privately located on 38 acres of forest but with easy access to shopping and restaurants.
Relax in front of the wood burning stove, soak up the sun on the south facing deck or have a drink and watch the wild turkeys from the covered porch. The Cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway or for families!
The main floor is accessible from the driveway without navigating stairs.

Main floor: The bedroom with a forest view has a queen bed and attached bathroom with step in shower. The living room has a Danish wood burning stove, and sliding glass doors to the south facing porch where you can soak up the sun and enjoy the view in classic Adirondack chairs. The covered front porch is also accessible from the living room and is inviting for a coffee on a rainy summer afternoon. The contemporary kitchen is well equipped to create memorable dinners.
Loft: The sleeping loft is fun and comfortable for kids and adults alike. It is connected to the main floor and lower level with a spiral staircase. There are four twin beds with memory foam mattresses and a view out the south wall of windows.
Lower Level: The lower level of the Cottage features a large bedroom suite with a queen bed, sitting area and sliding glass doors to the outside. There is a private bathroom with soaking tub, separate shower and two sinks. The lower level is connected with a spiral staircase but also has its own entrance from outside.
The Cottage is a convenient home base for the multitude of activities our area has to offer: Visit the Biltmore Estate ( 11miles), Downtown Asheville (12 miles), Historic Hendersonville (14 miles), go tubing or kayaking on the French Broad River, zip lining, drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, hike a different trail every day or see five magnificent waterfalls in just one day. There are wine tastings, beer tours, music and dance performances to attend and fabulous restaurants to try. Biking is a favorite sport here be it on the road or on mountain trails. We are more than happy to help you with planning your vacation so please talk to us and let us know what you are interested in.
Of course the Cottage is also an awesome place to just relax, enjoy the sun shining through the leaves, the peace of the forest and the starlit nights.
Please note that the Cottage is accessed by a private gravel road but 4-wheel drive is usually not necessary. We are happy to talk you about the road if you have concerns about driving in the mountain!

We live about 10 minutes from the cottage. We are usually available to stop by if you need us to, and we are always available by phone. You'll receive an electronic lock code so check in and check out is easy. You'll enjoy complete privacy at the Cottage, but we are available if anything needs our attention.

My family and our dog enjoyed the stay here so much, hopefully we can come back again. I’m an OCD and the house is super clean like it showed in the pictures. The bed and the bed linens were so comfortable!

Quaint, clean cottage in quiet oasis!
We had a wonderful time in this quaint cottage. We love the tranquility and the beautiful view of the trees from the back porch. The cottage contained everything you could possibly need in easy to find places. The only down sides were that parking is down a steep hill. If it is raining, beware. Finally, the gravel road is narrow.

My boyfriend, Karl Hoffmann and his mom Paula joined me at your lovely home to celebrate his 53rd birthday. Truly beyond our expectations – gorgeous setting and the home was delightful! Going to share the information with my brothers and mom, and we most likely will be booking another trip to one of your beautiful homes. Thank you so much for the opportunity to share this gorgeous cabin - Absolutely fantastic!

Beautiful mountain getaway
The Cottage was all we expected and more. We felt remote, but Asheville was a relatively short ride away. We relaxed and had good R&R for the working folks and a great change of scenery and schedule for the retirees.

Perfect!
This place is exactly what we needed! It’s secluded enough so it’s completely private, and we loved hanging out on the deck soaking in the sun and nature, but it’s also close enough to Asheville so we could enjoy the town and good restaurants. The cabin is super clean and comfortable. Our kids especially loved the loft and the soaking tub.

Great escape!
This was a perfect weekend getaway. The house was very clean and comfortable with all needed amenities. Beautiful wooded and private mountain view. A comfortable bed, both drip and keurig coffee makers, well stocked kitchen utensils, and great bathtub. I did bring a chromecast to plug into the TV for more watching options which can be considered if you will be spending much time in the house. Tricky driveway at times but very possible still without AWD. ~20 min to Asheville city life. Would definitely go back!

Christmas at the Biltmore!
We wanted a unique place to stay when our family planned our trip to the Biltmore and the Winghaven Cottage fit the bill perfectly! My daughters loved the sleeping loft, spiral stairs and log exterior - all reasons I chose this home! Saskia was very prompt in replying to my inquiries. The cabin was extremely clean and very well stocked. We love the homemade goat milk soap and luxury hair products. My kids loved the chicken scrap bucket that went to Jof and Saskia's farm. 😊 And thank you for collecting recyclables as not many rental properties do. Overall wonderful experience!

We were looking for a quiet getaway from work, every day life and the stress that accompanies. This was a great place to do that, it was fairly secluded but close to shops and stores. I grew up in the mountains so this was a perfect getaway for me. My wife grew up in NYC so every trip to the mountains is enjoyable for her. I will admit, the driveway is a bit steep, but I was aware from the reviews and the description provided by the owners. The parking spot on the road is close enough that it was probably a shorter walk than from my parking spot at home. Overall, I guess the best compliment I could give is that I would stay here again.

Great quiet cabin
We had a great time at the cabin. It was clean and very comfortable. I loved sitting in the balcony deck in the morning while drinking my coffee and listening to the birds chirping! My friend and I really enjoyed it. The only thing we could give feedback on is the couch. It’s not very comfy for more than two people. I think a different shape couch would be better. The hosts were extremely quick at replying with any questions we had. I would definitely stay again and would recommend. 5 stars all around!

Mountain cabin house
The house was very secluded up a private drive which was nice. The owner's were great bringing fresh veggie's during our stay. The house was very clean, the only issue was we wish there was more green space for our dog's and watch out for ticks. Overall it was a Great stay and we would highly recommend this property.

Great, out of the way family cabin
We loved our stay, even though it was brief. We stayed for three adventure packed days and didn’t get to enjoy the cabin like I would have liked since we were out exploring. I would have loved to light a fire and enjoy the fire pit and stay on the back deck a bit longer. Great hosts and would love to come back.

Very clean property and responsive owners
We were looking specifically in this area to visit nearby family. The location is best if you want to be removed. We were very amused by the wild turkeys. The dirt/rock road and steep driveway are a bit challenging, but we were in an SUV. The house was very clean with a wonderful soaking tub. The couch seating lacked for a larger group, but worked fine for our needs.

About the host

Hosted by Jofre & Saskia Cacanindin

Host profile image
After living or owning properties in Germany, the Philippines, Hawaii, Manhattan, Croton-on-Hudson, and Raleigh, we chose the Asheville area to raise our three children. We love the cultural and natural richness of this place. The mountains, forests, ecological diversity, waterfalls and the local food movement, farms and markets, outstanding restaurants, cultural events and interesting, friendly people make this a great place to live and visit.
We live just about ten minutes away from Winghaven, on a small farm with dairy goats, rare breed chickens, ducks, geese and dogs. . Of course we would also be delighted to have you come in person and visit with the animals during your stay at Winghaven! Naturally, we will always have fresh eggs from our happy hens as well as handmade goat's milk soap for you at the Cottage at Winghaven.

Why they chose this property

After three years of successfully welcoming guests to the Chalet at Winghaven (VRBO #659460) we decided to build the Cottage at Winghaven in walking distance, but still with complete privacy. Like the Chalet the Cottage is located at Winghaven, a 38 acre property of beautiful forest close to Asheville and Hendersonville, NC. The Cottage is perfect for families or groups of friends. We are very excited that we were able to provide a way to access the main floor without steps to navigate so everybody can enjoy this mountain cabin.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage at Winghaven was designed from the ground up to provide a relaxing, peaceful, private retreat for our guests to reconnect with family, friends or a significant other. It is also a perfect place to celebrate birthdays, graduations or stay for a beautiful mountain wedding. Of course we chose to build a log home because how can you not want to stay in a real log cabin in the woods? The wood burning stove and the large deck and covered porch invite you to slow down and relax inside or out depending on the season.
Children and adults enjoy the sleeping loft. Alternatively the master bedroom is inviting and the lower level suite is very spacious with a sitting area and large bathroom. The three floors are tied together by a spiral staircase that leaves plenty of space to spread out and enjoy this cozy cabin.
