About this property

Top of the world views; no hurricane damage; we would love your support!

* If we don't have the travel dates you're hoping for, or you're looking for a getaway with 3 bedrooms or just one bedroom, please check out our other nearby cabins: vrbo listing #: 972360 and 3376684.

Our 5 acres of land provide the perfect peaceful retreat in the mountains.

Long distance views from both the main deck and private hot tub deck will ensure a relaxing, back-to-nature stay. You can forget the cell phones and computers for a true break from the real world if desired...but full cell signal with all known carriers and WiFi allow for reality checks as needed.

The driveway is steep and narrow, but all paved except for the flatter parking area, where a 2-to-4-point turn will turn your vehicle around again. For those not comfortable on mountain roads, please take note of the steepness, as it can seem intimidating. But to almost all of our guests, it's just a part of our mountain cabin experience - adding to the adventure! * Please also note: We have 42 steps from the driveway to the front door; so unloading your vehicle can be a workout! For those with mobility difficulties, the steps are not suitable.

With all modern amenities, one won't need to leave the cabin, but the surrounding area has so much to offer to the adventurous at heart. Conveniently located less than 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, 12 mintues from the Blue Ridge Parkway, 20 minutes from the Biltmore Estate and Black Mountain, 30 minutes from Chimney Rock/Lake Lure and Hendersonville, this quiet getaway is still close to all the attractions and activities.

Late January Trip
Cabin was amazing. Super clean, amazing views. Stairs to the property were a workout, but that was clearly explained in the description. Cabin has all the necessities you will need. Great diner down the street and 2 breweries and grocery store close by. Will definitey stay here again.

Secluded Perfection
The views, the cabin, the location - all spectacular. Don't be put off by the driveway or stairs. Both were perfectly manageable if you either grew up in a more rural area or just went into it with a can-do attitude. It's all worth it for the views and seclusion.

View from the top of the world
If you can conquer those steps, the view is totally worth it! Beautiful cabin that was perfect for our trip. The view is beyond breathtaking and I loved that we could open all the windows to get that crisp mountain air. Great property for adults, and the owner was so kind to keep me updated during the aftermath of hurricane Helene. Would definitely recommend the stay!

Top notch accommodations
I stayed here with my husband and sons for my husband’s birthday. We frequent the area and know how special it is. This well-appointed home was exactly what we needed, with beautiful views, a hot tub, and easy access to hikes and the Asheville area. The owners were very accessible and helpful when we had questions.

Breathtaking View
Centrally located cabin high on a mountain side with breathtaking views. Not only the view of mountains, but the night sky was breathtaking. Waking up with snow one morning, then going to sit in the hot tub having your coffee was amazing. The bed was very comfortable. Not having anyone around is another bonus. Loved watching a beautiful woodpecker just hanging out . The deck is great for relaxing. The grill made it even better. It was way more than what we were expecting! The area is recovering there is plenty to do, so come visit and help people get their lives back to normal..

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Gurney

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the Asheville area - the mountains, endless outdoor activities and 4 distinct seasons allow us to appreciate and fully enjoy nature year-round. When we met as teenagers, we dreamed of one day building our own mountain escape (with a fabulous view, of course).

We were involved with every aspect of the building process; from the beginning stages of staking out the property lines and house site in the snow to personally delivering almost every nail, bolt and load of lumber. Our hearts and souls were poured into this cabin while attempting to balance our full-time jobs, lives and every detail of the project...but every minute was worth it, without a doubt.

What makes this property unique

With the cabin facing South, year-round natural light invites guests to gather in the living area and relax on the decks.

As is the case in much of Asheville, the roads around our cabin tend to be steeper than what many people are used to. Our driveway is steep and narrow in sections (about 300 yards from the bottom to top). Access is not a problem, however, and we both own small 2wd vehicles that do just fine around Asheville and our cabin. We also have stairs leading from the driveway to the cabin door, which, for those with mobility issues, may pose a problem.

The cabin is located within a private community, in which Rules and Regulations apply to residents and visitors. This makes for a truly quiet and relaxing stay in the mountains. Please note that noise, privacy, parking and other rules must be respected throughout the private community.
