About this property

Open! Winter Beauty, Great Gathering House! Indoor Games! 15 min to Max Patch!

Hurricane Helene Update as of December--

Many parts of our mountain region were affected by the wind and floods caused by the Hurricane. This house is situated between Hot Springs, Waynesville, and Asheville. While Hot Springs is cleaning and rebuilding, you can travel through to get to the cabin. Currently the Smoky Mountain Diner, Sarajos Gas Station, the Dollar General, and two convenience markets are open and would love your business.

Also close to the cabin for food options are Dave's 209 and Trust General Store. Further down the road is the mountain town of Waynesville to explore, as well as Sylva, and Cherokee.

We would love you to be our guest. This is such a beautiful and welcoming property to retreat to, and enjoy the mountains in Late Fall and Early Winter. Please contact us with any questions you may have.


Welcome to the Owl’s Nest! Perched high up on a mountain knoll that backs up to Pisgah National Forest outside of Hot Springs, North Carolina and near to epic Max Patch Bald. This awesome cabin is an excellent place to have fun with your family and friends in a secluded and peaceful setting with plenty of room for all.

The cabin features a spacious wraparound porch with Adirondack chairs and covered outdoor dining area complete with gas grill and fire pit. Vaulted ceilings and large picture windows, a cozy gas fireplace, fully stocked kitchen, movie lounge and game room.

The three bedrooms are carefully curated for comfort and style. The central living room and kitchen invite everyone in your group to share memorable times together. There is also a fun filled lower level that has air hockey, ping pong, space for cornhole, and a basketball shooting game. Plenty of board games included as well.

15 minutes to Max Patch, 30 minutes to Hot Springs, 1 + hour to Waynesville and Asheville. Our area offers many outdoor opportunities to adventure and explore including hiking along the Appalachian Trail, rafting the French Broad River, and fishing galore. If the weather is inclement or you just need a down day at home this cabin has to so much to offer! Did someone say gamenight?!?

The cabin is truly a home away from home where the owner's have thought of everything you may need. You only have to bring yourselves, luggage, and groceries. We want our guest not to worry about a thing.

Please be in touch if you have any questions about the space, or our wonderful area in the mountains of Western North Carolina

Relaxing Mountain Getaway

Our family had a great time staying in Hot Springs! The cabin was clean and spacious and there were many fun activities to do in the area including white water rafting, soaking in the hot springs, and even hiking with llamas! The only hiccup was that our front wheel drive vehicle had difficulty getting up the driveway upon arrival when weighted down with our luggage, but we didn’t have an issue the rest of the trip. We would definitely stay here again!

Hot Springs Adventures

Great and relaxing stay with family! We loved the game room and sitting around the fire pit at night. Always love our trips to Hot Springs! Enjoyed fun hikes, hot tubs at the spa, and eating at the local restaurants - especially Spring Creek Tavern! Can't wait to return!

Great cabin that's in terrific shape very clean and with practically everything you need. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would like to go back when we could, perhaps in a different season.

About the host

Hosted by Hot Springs Getaway

Host profile image
I live with my husband and two little ones in the beautiful Appalachian mountains. I love to hike with my sweet mutt, ride bikes with the family, practice yoga, enjoy live music when I can, and drink craft beers.

We are so excited to share our getaway with you! Our family recently bought this cabin and we've enjoyed using it as our home base to explore the mountains. It is truly our home away from home. We hope you find it as special as we do!

Why they chose this property

The Owl's Nest is only 15 minutes from one of our favorite hiking spots in Western North Carolina: Max Patch. You can get 360 degree views of the mountains from the top, including the Appalachian Trail. There are plenty of other magnificent trails with epic views within 30 minutes of the cabin as well. If you want to venture out, Hot Springs is only 30 minutes up Highway 209, and Asheville is a beautiful 1 hour drive away.

The BEST thing about this cabin is that there is no need to leave if you just want to unwind and relax! We have plenty of books, outdoor space, movies, games, and peaceful spots on the property, so there is something for everyone. We love this cabin and everything it has to offer!
