About this property

Top of the Line Asheville Mountain Cabin

For those who want to be close enough to Asheville that you can easily drop in, but also prefer peace and privacy in your own luxurious perch on top of the world, this is your spot!!

This stunningly beautiful, modern and immaculately clean cedar log home has year-round postcard-like views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. And, it has the best of both worlds - total privacy, yet only 15 minutes to the center of Asheville - so close you can catch an Uber/Lyft.

There's a sense of peace and calm you'll immediately feel when you enter the bright, open floor plan, gaze up at the 18' ceilings, look out over endless views, and settle into the cabin's peaceful setting, located on 18 private acres.

Enjoy some time on the deck, taking in views of rolling farmland, endless mountain ridges, and an ever-changing sky. Watch as hawks and eagles soar gracefully upward on thermal air currents. See how magically the sky changes at sunrise and sunset. Look up into the night sky to see more stars than you've seen in years. Soak in the indulgently luxurious hot tub on top of the world. Walk the grounds, its private road and trails, and discover the amazing diversity of native plants and flowers. And take time to listen to the bubbling spring-fed stream that flows behind the cabin.

Relaxing cabin above the clouds
Spent a great weekend at the house with my parents and dogs. Perfect spot to escape from the business of Asheville but close enough to pop in for dinner. The location is so nice and quiet. The hot tub is the cherry on top. Definitely recommend this spot.

Quiet getaway
The switchbacks are a bit challenging in the dark, so arrive when it is still light out. Cabin and landscaping was absolutely amazing when we pulled up to it. Easy directions to enter. Beautiful interior. Everything you need for a few days to a few month stay. Beautiful sunsets. Sounds of wildlife hypnotic at night. Only one negative, which was no big deal: The floor/walls were thin- we could hear whispered conversations from the 1st floor bedrooms, and they were kept awake with the snoring coming from the upstairs bedroom. Would definitely re-book this cabin and work with this property owner again.

Top of the Line
This place was very comfortable and very well kept. The location on top of a mountain was ideal. The road was adventurous but worth it. The cabin had everything you needed and then some. The furniture was very comfortable as well as the beds. The entertainment equipment was top notch. We enjoyed streaming our music on the surround sound. There was quite a selection of dvds. The hot tub was great after hiking. Kelly even had robes to wrap yourself in after getting out. The dogs enjoyed the deck a lot. The area has lots to do, Asheville, Blue Ridge Parkway, restaurants and of course breweries. Kelly was great to deal with. We all highly recommend this place and we will be back.

Top of the hill Asheville getaway
This location was a perfect getaway with fantastic views and we had great weather. It was a quick trip into Asheville and was a very quiet and relaxing location to stay. Host was very responsive and helpful. The only concern was the last turn on the road to the home as a car did get stuck and they were able to rock it over the groves in the road. Four wheel drive vehicles were fine. I would rent again!

Nice cabin in the woods - just what we expected. About 20 minutes from downtown Asheville. We had an unfortunate incident occur at the property, and Kelly was very understanding, compassionate and professional in helping us resolve the issue. Kelly is a perfect example of the type of owner you want when booking a VRBO.

A short drive say from downtown Asheville is definitely worth the seclusion and beautiful views. The bed in the master bedroom was amazing, i slept like a log. The owner has tons of detailed info on a binder at the home. Would definitely recommend for a family of 5-6!

My family and I stayed here after visiting the Biltmore. The home was very comfortable and in a beautiful secluded location yet only about 20 minutes to downtown Asheville and about 45 minutes to Hooker/triple/High falls. The owner is very attentive and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

Quiet hillside property with pleasant view
The house was comfortable and clean with a well equipped kitchen. The hot tub worked well. I appreciated the advanced home theatre system. The owner responded quickly when the fireplace wouldn't work, but the home is well insulated and was still comfortable. The only drawback was the steep and sharp turns of the driveway. We had a ford explorer and the last turn was still difficult to manuever. Still a comfortable stay and convenient location to Asheville and rural areas to the NW.

Beautiful mountain home
What a beautiful place that is private yet close to everything. The 1st time up the road will probably cause a little anxiety lol but every subsequent time is 100% easier :) the views are spectacular. The hot tub is perfect to read a book, have a glass of wine, and take in the scenery. Beds are comfy. Literally our only issue was the roku was old and didn't work- however the owner said he is replacing it so shouldn't be any problems for future renters.

The perfect reset
We enjoyed this cabin so much. The cleanliness was amazing and lots of little details were thought of to ensure a pleasant stay. I even had to run out and buy the same shampoo and conditioner after because we enjoyed it so much. The views from the deck are amazing. The surround sound left us just playing music and watching the views for hours. Several other reviewers commented on the driveway. We had no problems in my full size truck. Most of the road to the cabin is paved and we never saw another vehicle while driving. We drove this day and night without issue. If you are contemplating a stay I would strongly suggest this one. It will be the reset you are looking for.

About the host

Hosted by J Kelly Scherer

Host profile image
My name is Kelly and I live in Charlotte, NC. I'm a hard-working, peace-loving individual who enjoys the serenity of the mountains. I am a private owner and manage the property myself, with personal care and interest. I come from a large family and always appreciate a sense of family among friends. I'm sure that you, like everyone who visits, will absolutely love and cherish the time you spend at my mountain cabin!

Why they chose this property

My mountain cabin is a rare find and one that I plan to keep for many years of enjoyment. The cabin is stunningly beautiful, immaculately clean, and truly Top of the Line. It is located just outside of Asheville, NC, one of America's coolest towns. While just 10 miles from downtown, it sits on a mountainside that looks out across endless ridges of mountains and valleys dotted with farmland and estates. It has the best of all worlds - private in its location, and close to everything that Asheville has to offer!

What makes this property unique

The mountain cabin is at the end of a private road, perched high on a mountainside, with unobstructed year-round views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Its open floor plan and peaceful setting make it perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beauty of the Blue Ridge. The house is immaculately clean and tidy.

The cabin is perfectly situated for exploring Asheville and WNC!

The cabin is only 11 miles from Pack Square in the very center of Asheville. The picturesque drive into town takes 15 minutes on main roads.

The cabin sits in the middle of hundreds of world class hiking and biking trails. All are an easy 30 to 60 minutes' drive away, door to trailhead. The Appalachian Trail at Hot Springs is 35 minutes. Great Smoky Mountains National Park; Shining Rock Wilderness, Mills River, Linville Gorge, Mt. Mitchell, Bent Creek, Cold Mountain, etc. are all 40 minutes. The Blue Ridge Parkway is 25 minutes and there are multiple trails off it.

River rafting/tubing/ kayaking, zip lining, rock climbing, fishing and golfing are 30 minutes or less. Downhill skiing, snowboarding and tubing is 35 miles from the cabin.

The Biltmore Estate is only 25 minutes away. Waynesville is 25 minutes. And, Cherokee is 45 minutes.

Being just outside of Asheville allows you to feel away from it all but also be right in the middle of everything.
