Friends ask why we are renting such an amazing log cabin. After living in New York and South Florida for over 30 years, our family decided to move to the enchanting town of Asheville, NC to raise our children. We still love living in Asheville, but we wanted a mountain escape that our family could enjoy from time to time. After years of searching we found the perfect Mountain Top site to build our dream vacation and eventual retirement home that is in a gated community with paved roads and some of the most breathtaking views in North Carolina. The best part was that is less than 30 minutes to Asheville. So in 2018 we built the most amazing log cabin vacation home in the perfect spot with 360 degree views as far as the eye can see. Since we live so close and enjoy it all the time, we decided to share this incredible log cabin so other families can enjoy it as much as we do.

Perfect location for our family reunion!
We had a great time! Kitchen/dining spacious enough for our large group (13). Home super clean and beds very comfortable. We had lots of things to do together and spaces to retreat for quiet. Enjoyed sunrises on the 360° deck, and hikes to nearby falls. Thanks for hosting our family reunion; hope we can come again.

Perfect home for young and old!
We were mesmerized by the views and the home! It was spotless and accommodating. The host checked in several times and made us feel welcome. We would love to stay here again. Also, because we have a disabled family member, I searched for a home with features and layout that would make him comfortable. After the three low stairs it was a smooth entry. Thank you for considering all those who have circumstances life hands us. We appreciated the welcome basket with the all the treats and the special items. We will think of our vacation every time we use them. 🙂

Spring Break in Catawba Falls
Catawba Falls Reserve is probably our favorite place to stay when we visit North Carolina to hike. We have stayed in this area multiple times. The Black Diamond Lodge is definitely the BEST! We loved the location as it has a trailhead to Upper Catawba Falls right behind the lodge. It is secluded enough to enjoy nature without being inconvenient to taking trips into town for needs. The layout of the lodge easily held our family and we actually could have had more people with us. The parking can hold several cars ( we have 3). Jason, our host, was easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed for our week. I highly recommend this lodge.

family christmas
The house is enormous and the views unbeatable. Having rented numerous houses in these mountains, I can easily say this was the best view of them all. Thirteen of us (with 2 dogs) celebrated a family Christmas that will go down in the history books as awesome. There was room for everyone to have his own space. The large square table was a real plus; we could all sit for a meal and actually converse with each other. The house is on top of the mountain about 25 minutes from Black Mountain (up a very curvy road). We considered this an asset because we were trying "to get away from it all." We definitely hope to go back again; it was an A+ holiday.

Mountain Chalet getaway
This cabin (we lovingly referred to it as a chalet) was perfect for our Christmas/birthday getaway. The listing was the definition of under promising and over delivering. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions and the kitchen was supplied with everything one could need on a 2 family trip. We took advantage of the large game table and the games downstairs as well as the hot tub one morning after watching the SPECTACULAR sunrise. The house was clean and instructions were clear and the views were breathtaking. If you’ve never stayed in the mountains around Asheville before, you may want to consider popping a Dramamine before you get off the highway (but I have become rather sensitive to car sickness). The twists and turns can make you a bit nauseous but the roads were easy to navigate and no need for 4 wheel or all wheel drive. Once you get to the gate of the neighborhood, what a beautiful drive to reach the cabin. We mainly drank the water straight from the spigot so we didn’t need all the bottled water we brought with us. There was an extra fridge downstairs that they gave us access to use and that proved very helpful for our large group. We visited Asheville the first day and all the breweries and shops but my husband loved our last day more when we spent the day in the little town of Black Mountain. It was such a quaint town with all “coolness” of Asheville but on a much cozier scale. 10/10 would recommend this host and cabin.

Paradise in the mountains
We had a wonderful stay during the first week of September. The weather was perfect. The location is a bit of a drive to get to other cities such as Chimney Rock, Asheville, and Black Mountain, but we got used it as it's a gorgeous drive no matter which direction you go. We had a blast in Apple Valley at both Stepps and Granddad's apple orchards, as well as the nearby winery/cidery. We also had a great time in Chimney Rock! The sunrise views cannot be beat. Our group enjoyed drinking coffee and watching the sunrise over the mountains each morning. There was plenty of room for our whole family and grandparents. The kids loved the bunk bed room and games! Highly recommend taking advantage of the handful of hiking trails that start at the trailhead near the bottom of the driveway. There is plenty to do at the property or right around the corner if you want to stay in, or everything else is a 25-30 minute drive. We'd definitely return to this property.

Black Mountain Log Cabin
The cabin was wonderful and exactly as listed on VRBO. That has not always been the case, and we were very pleased. It is on a mountain top with a wonderful view of the Appalachians. It was well worth getting up to see the sunrise over the mountains. Our family included two grandparents, a great aunt, our two children, their spouses, and four grandchildren ranging from 10 to 15 (three girls, one boy). The bedrooms easily accommodated us.

Amazing remote mountain top stay
I stayed with 8 friends for a yearly reunion and it was great. The cabin was clean and well kept. It feels very modern, but appropriate for the setting. We appreciated the soap provided in the bathrooms. We had everything we needed to cook our own meals in the cabin. The owners are very hospitable and checked in a few times with us. The views and location are beautiful. There is plenty of seating and a firepit to talk away the night on the wraparound porch. You have to be comfortable with driving some switch backs and hills to get to the remote location, but the views are astounding and it's worth the drive. Do not miss the hike to Catawba Falls if you don't mind a semi-strenuous hike; the waterfall is magical. It was an amazing experience.

Awesome cabin
We were a group of 4 brothers with their spouses as well as a few children. We were looking for a place for the brothers to get together. They had not all been together for years due to several being in the military. Our only plan for the week was to spend time together. We could not have found a more beautiful site to get together. The cabin was beautiful, clean and private. The fact that the majority of the bedrooms had king size beds and private bathrooms was a definite plus. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had within moments of sending a text. He even came out on Sunday when we found a bee's nest on the front porch. He dealt with it immediately & had Terminix out the next day to spray even more. They made sure we knew what the checkout process was well in advance and checked in with me throughout the week to see if we needed anything and give us suggestions of things to do. We found a hiking trail literally feet from our driveway that lead to a waterfall that was child friendly. I would definitely recommend staying at this cabin. It was truly a wonderful vacation.

We can stay the whole week and never leave the Mountain or drive into town anytime. It is really the best of all worlds. Walk to waterfalls right from the cabin and play in the creek! Not to mention all the breweries in the area :). Sitting on the porch by the fire-table at sunset and watching the sun set with a glass of wine.
