About this property

Relax & Unwind in AVL- dog friendly, Mountain Views, Minutes from Downtown

Welcome to your mountain retreat in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina! Tucked just off the highway, our charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath house offers the perfect blend of comfort and adventure. Whether you're seeking a peaceful getaway or an active vacation, this is the ideal home base.

The Space:
Step into a spacious and tastefully decorated living space that exudes warmth and relaxation. The design connects the living room, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, creating a perfect space for socializing and making lasting memories. The three cozy bedrooms provide ample space for a good night's sleep, and the two bathrooms ensure convenience for all guests. Work or study seamlessly at the designated office desk space, complete with high-speed Wi-Fi and a quiet atmosphere, providing an ideal setting for remote work.

Surrounding Features:
Our home offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, while still being minutes from HWY 70 and I40. Enjoy the tranquility of nature from the private deck and patio, where you can sip your morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine in the evening in the hot tub. Pets and children can enjoy safe play in the fenced in yard off the private deck.

Things to Do:

Hiking:
Lace up your hiking boots and explore the nearby trails. The Blue Ridge Mountains offer a plethora of hiking options for all skill levels. Entry to the Blue Ridge Parkway is minutes away. Take in the stunning panoramic views and cascading waterfalls, while still being able to make a day trip back for dinner, live music, or local breweries in downtown Asheville or Black Mountain.

Breweries:
Asheville is renowned for its craft beer scene. Take a short drive to some of the best breweries in the area, where you can sample a variety of local brews and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.

Art and Culture:
Immerse yourself in the local art scene by visiting the River Arts District or exploring the many galleries in downtown Asheville. The city's cultural richness is sure to captivate your senses. The house is located on the same exit as the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove, which attracts thousands of visitors each year. If it's music you want, the Orange Peel and Rabbit, Rabbit, Harrah's Cherokee Center Asheville, and the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium attract some of the biggest names in the music industry.

Dog-Friendly Activities:
We understand that your furry friends are part of the family. Asheville is a dog-friendly city, and our home is no exception. Within the home, you'll find a large kennel with a bed/blanket, toys, water/food bowels, and dog treats! Take your dogs for a stroll along the dog-friendly trails or visit one of the local parks where they can stretch their legs and play. A portion of the yard is fenced, too, allowing you the best of both words! There are even some doggie bakeries located downtown Asheville!

Location:
Conveniently located, you're just a short drive away from downtown Asheville and its eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Experience the best of both worlds – the serenity of the mountains and the vibrancy of the city. In the other direction, visit Black Mountain. This mountain town has a small-town feel, while still offering plenty to do.

For Remote Workers and Travel Nurses:
A dedicated workspace with a desk and ergonomic chair ensures a comfortable and productive environment for remote work or study. The high-speed internet connection will allow you to stay up to date with your meetings.

Calling all Parents (of college students):
Asheville is home to several higher-education institutions. Whether your child attends Montford, Warren Wilson, or the University of North Carolina - Asheville, our home offers the perfect option to visit your student (and our well-equipped kitchen will allow you to make them their favorite meals!).
 
Book Your Stay:
Escape the ordinary and embrace a perfect balance of work and play in our Asheville getaway. Book your stay now and enjoy the convenience of a home that caters to both productivity and relaxation!

Awesome House for Family Visit to Asheville
The house was clean, beds were comfortable, and the fenced in yard was perfect for our pups! The house had everything we needed for an extended weekend trip to Asheville. During our trip we went river tubing and canyoneering. The house was about a 15 min drive for both, Great location!

What we were looking for!
We enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cabin! It’s a solid choice for a family visit. The house is well stocked and laid out nicely. The beds we’re comfortable, the linens were good quality and plentiful. The house is conveniently located and made it easy to get to downtown, Grove Park and Biltmore. The house and fencing made it easy to accommodate our dog as well. There are grocery (and coffee) close by! We travel often and frequently stay in VRBO. This one is among the top homes!

Cozy stay at the Cozy Cabin!
This was a great place for my family to meet up from 3 different states. Semi-private location but close to hiking trails and downtown Asheville. Our time at the house was as cozy as its name, even down to the softest blankets ever! Great hospitality and hosts went beyond expectations.

About the host

Hosted by Roxanne Tankard Raynor

Host profile image
Hi! We're Tolan and Roxanne. We've called North Carolina home our entire lives, both eastern and western NC. Originally from eastern NC, we had a five-year plan in Asheville. But as the saying goes, "the mountains are calling, and I must answer." Answer we did! We've called Asheville home for nearly 12 years now, and all three of our children were born here. Asheville is such a special place to us, and we wanted to offer others the opportunity to discover all that it has to offer. From the mountains and waterfalls to the craft beer and food scene, Asheville truly has something to entice everyone!

Why they chose this property

Our favorite thing about the neighborhood is its location. We have worked and lived in different places in Asheville, and the number one thing that makes the experience top notch is location. (When you grow up in the flatland of eastern NC, one mile takes you one minute. That is not the case in the mountains! One mile can take you 5 minutes!) Our neighborhood offers mountain views without mountain driving - something that is rare around here! What's more, it's minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and I40, and 15 minutes from downtown Asheville and Black Mountain.

What makes this property unique

What's more exciting than gazing at the mountains while sitting in your personal hot tub? That is a rhetorical question ... the answer is nothing! The property offers location and convenience while being tucked away in its own private oasis.
