The stay was absolutely perfect. We had stayed here for a weekend fire school in McDowell County. This property was great for all members to come back, relax, enjoy the views and reflect on the day members had at class. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone. We stayed on a business trip I guess you could say, If your staying for leisure then this is the spot! We hope to be back in the future.

Lovely place. Well maintained and clean. Breathtaking mountain views. The outdoor seating areas are perfectly situated so that you can take in the scenery. It's also close to town.

Good view
This property has a nice view of Mt Mitchell. It's spacious enough for a family of 7. We had 4. Pros: The view, stocked up kitchen with cooking essentials, plenty of firewood to use, nice TV/game room although the air hockey table is falling apart. Cons: Not for older people or anyone who have a hard time getting up and down the stairs. Had a water leak/drips from the shower from the top floor. This appears to be a known issues based on the stains. I reported it to the owner. No hot tub (even the amenity sections indicated there was one)

Exceptional Cabin & Host
We recently stayed at this amazing cabin and had an incredible experience! The location is fantastic, providing easy access to local attractions while still feeling secluded and peaceful. The cabin itself is beautiful and very well-maintained, clearly showing that the host takes great care to ensure everything is top-notch. One thing we've noticed right away is how clean this place is. We stayed in several cabins and this one was the cleanest. The host (Michael) was exceptionally attentive and communicative throughout our stay, always ready to help with any questions or needs we had. This level of service made our stay even more enjoyable and stress-free. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful cabin the next time we’re in the area. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-cared-for place to stay. Thank you so much!

Great cabin with amazing views
We enjoyed our stay in this clean, welcoming cabin. The kitchen and great room were wonderful and well-stocked. Having three sleeping areas, one bedroom on each level, was a bit tricky for our family. The sunset views over the mountains and valley were stunning! Would recommend and would definitely return!

Peaceful & Private!
Michael's place was clean and comfortable for our family of 6 (four adult kids and a plus one). We enjoyed venturing out from there to Catawba Falls (beautiful and very close by!) and driving over to Mt. Mitchell. We also enjoyed the fire pit at the cabin, star gazing and board games around the table. Downstairs was a great place for the kids to catch up while those upstairs turned in.

SPECTACULAR
We enjoyed this beautiful venue in God's country in May 2024! The driveway is steep and worth the trip to the top of the mountain. Once there, the air is clean and refreshing. The sunshine shows so many different aspects of the Great Smokey Mountains as the cloud shapes drift over the valley below. The view is breathtaking. This lovely cabin has absolutely everything necessary for a elegant escape from the city. We definitely plan to rent again!!!

Comfort with an amazing view
This was our second stay in the cabin, because it has all the conveniences and comfortable touches anyone could wish for in a mountain vacation home. From the well stocked kitchen, to the very comfy chairs in the living room, to the dining table with stunning views over the mountains, to the comfortable bed on the main level. (I can't speak to the other beds, because we didn't use them.) Communication with Michael was great, and the house was very clean. We enjoyed the wildlife that visited the property: wild turkeys, woodpeckers, squirrels, and a flock of guinea fowl (very LOUD birds!). On our previous trip we even saw two deer in the back yard. Be aware that the driveway to the property is very steep, and narrow. Our Honda CRV made it without problems, though. We enjoyed our visit very much and hope to return again some day.

Dream Cabin
Such a nice place, even better than the pics. Love the cabin theme decor, beautifully decorated. Lots of room inside and out for a family to spread out. Thanks for keeping the kitchen well-stocked and leaving condiments/spices and kitchen supplies; we enjoyed cooking and preparing multiple meals. We were lucky to have perfect weather and spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the mountain views and fire pit. We weren't expecting such nice weather; I wish we had brought cornhole/outdoor games. Great location, close to stores and the little downtown area with restaurants and bars. We explored some falls and easy hikes in the area and along the Blue Ridge Pkwy, and spent a day in Asheville and Biltmore (about 40mins drive). The driveway was intimidating our first couple times up and down, but we got used to it, and it is definitely worth it to get to those great mountain views! We highly recommend this home!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Johns

Host profile image
I began vacationing to the area about 10 years ago while in college at Auburn University. Hiking, snow tubing, and escaping the hot humid summers down south were just a few reasons to start. As the years went by I became more knowledgeable about the area and shared the knowledge with family and friends. My family and I have been blessed with many wonderful memories in the mountains of North Carolina. We hope to have many more to come.

Why they chose this property

I decided to buy this property because of the outstanding mountain views, beautiful cabin, and central location to many area attractions. No matter what time of day or season the view is always spectacular. One step inside the great room and I knew this was my dream cabin. All the beautiful interior wood from floor to wall to ceiling is very impressive. Also, the property consists of over 2 acres at the top of a mountain ridge. The property is only a short few minutes to downtown Marion. (Just 10 minutes)

What makes this property unique

The cabin is spacious, but cozy. It is decorated with casual elegance and the furniture has been chosen with comfort in mind. The cabin features three floors. There is one bedroom on each floor for maximum privacy. It is not only close to Marion, but to many other attractions like Pisgah National Forest, Lake Lure, Lake James, Mount Mitchell, Blue Ridge Parkway, local wineries and vineyards, waterfalls, tubing, kayaking, swimming, Chimney Rock, Biltmore Estate, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns, Boone, Blowing Rock, and more.
