About this property

Candace and I are proud of our new Log Cabin addition “Miller High Life”, and it’s only a short distance from our other Mountain Home (Check out our 5 star reviews @ VRBO 230650 “Mountain Laurel Lookout”), that so many of our guests are already familiar with, making both homes a perfect choice for a large family mountain event. This classic log cabin has a fabulous view of Lake Lure plus five ranges of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Perfect for family time or couples retreat or maybe just a well-deserved get-away. Enjoy extra outdoor privacy from our sundeck, patio and balcony. Each of the three bedrooms has its own full bath, and queen-sized bed plus all bedrooms are located on separate floors!
Preparing meals is easy in the fully appointed kitchen with all the necessary appliances, large pantry and a granite topped island for serving. Grilling is also an option with the gas grill located right outside on the covered porch. Enjoy your lovely meal at either the inside or outside tables then relax with the amazing view and a glass of wine in the Adirondack chairs or gather round the fire feature after a day of exploring water falls.
Free WiFi ,TV via dish, Internet and Blu-Ray are available for your entertainment with monitors on the main floor and downstairs Rec room. Snuggle up in the loveseats next to the fireplace and enjoy a movie or unwind and chill while viewing the spectacular natural wonders from inside or out our mountain home. Make some memories here in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina!
Located just 35 minutes from Asheville and Biltmore Estate.

We are only 10 minutes off of I-40, just East of Asheville. Black Mountain is about 15 to 20 minutes away with a huge Ingles grocery store so you can pick up anything you need.

Great cozy cabin

Views were beautiful in the cozy cabin. Steep mountain c switchbacks made the views even better. In winter I’d be sure to have AWD. Clean. As described. Cabin country decor.

Wish we had more time!

My family spent two nights in the cabin on our way back to Pennsylvania from Georgia. The view is amazing. I would have been happy just sitting and watching the sky change with the fireplace going all day. We did some hiking a Chimney Rock but otherwise enjoyed hanging out at the cabin. We arrived after dark, making it challenging to get up the mountain but the directions were very detailed and we made it!

Gorgeous View!

We came to Asheville to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary! This beautiful property is extremely peaceful and the cabin has a cozy living area with a fireplace. Since the temps were in the 40’s in the mornings, we sat by the fire with our morning coffee. We also enjoyed sitting on the back deck overlooking the mountains and the forest. We saw a rabbit, squirrels, and a family of deer 2 days in a row! What a treat! If you are looking to get away and needing some peace and tranquility, I highly recommend staying here. The owners were quick to answer our questions and very hospitable.

Breathtaking View

The fall colors were like nothing I ever saw before. The cabin allowed my family to stay together and spend some quality time together. One of the best places I have visited. If you are looking for tourist things to do, go to Chimney Rock. Lots of different things to see and do.

An excellent mountain cabin home base

This was our sisters and daughters' annual vacation, and it did not disappoint! Candace & Jack's mountain cabin was very clean and beautiful. The amenities were exactly as listed. We enjoyed the living room fireplace AND the outdoor fire table. It was nice having the three bedrooms and bathrooms on separate floors to give some privacy and space. The recommendation to get groceries BEFORE we arrived was spot on. The cabin was an excellent home base to return to after the days' activities of touring the Biltmore Estate, hiking in the Chimney Rock area and wandering around Ashville. Thank you, Candace & Jack!

More than Expected!

Candace, the owner, answered all of my questions immediately before we even left for our stay. The cabin was very clean, well equipped, and very comfortable. All three beds were were comfy. Having master bedrooms with baths on three floors was wonderful. We could have enjoyed the outside amenities more. Absolutely beautiful views but never saw a bear! Close enough to Asheville but we enjoyed Black Mountain more.

One of the most beautiful places we have stayed

We loved eating outside while watching the mountains and waking up to the incredible view. Property was clean with clear directions for access. Some amazing wildlife around - we saw a bear crossing the street on the way up!

Great experience

This cabin was amazing. Super clean. Kitchen had everything! It was even better than we expected. But the view was amazing! Pictures do not do it justice (but I still took a million of them!) Driving up the mountain was intimidating at first but we got used to it very quickly. Had visits from turkeys and their babies and also a visit from a young bear one morning. Thanks to the Millers for providing such a great experience for us! Hopefully we will be back!
