About this property

Asheville - Mountain Laurel Cabin - Secluded Mountain Getaway

Nestled in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, just beneath majestic Mount Pisgah, you will find Mountain Laurel Cabin. Even though you are just minutes from downtown Asheville, when you drive up the paved driveway you feel as if you are miles from civilization. Sitting on 15 acres of some of the most beautiful mountain land around, the cabin is enclosed by towering hardwood trees and native rhododendron, holly, and laurel bushes.

Step up on the covered front porch and relax in one of the comfortable rocking chairs or the old fashioned porch swing. As you enter the cabin, you will be impressed with the beautiful wood floors and spacious cathedral ceiling of the great room, complete with a wood burning fireplace, cozy, comfortable furniture, books, as well as the TV, DVD, and VCR. The fully furnished kitchen and dining area are just off the great room, where there is seating for seven to eight. The master bedroom is also on the main floor, boasting a comfy queen-size bed with the master bath adjoining the bedroom. A large closet is in this bedroom, and houses extra blankets, pillows, and lots of games and puzzles.

Upstairs you will find the sleeping loft, which would be perfect for a family, with its queen-size bed and two twin beds. A full-size bath with shower is also upstairs. How pleasant it is to doze off to sleep at night while gazing at the fire burning in the fireplace! Out the back door, step onto a deck that feels like you are walking into the woods. Sit out on the deck and grill some steaks on the gas grill while listening to the birds and watching the squirrels. Your own private hideaway!

In the basement you will find a washer and dryer and an extra bed if needed, even though the basement is unfinished and unheated. The cabin is air-conditioned for the summer and has a heat pump and fireplace for winter. You can even leave the doors open and enjoy the cool, clean mountain air! Come to our little piece of heaven in the wonderful Western North Carolina Mountains, rest, relax, and enjoy!

Homey Mountain Cabin
This cabin was perfect and plenty of room for Me my husband, our daughter and 2 granddaughters ( 5 & 8 ) The space was amazing! With a big front porch for them to play..The cabin was immaculately clean and very well stocked! Nestled up on a Mountain side surrounded by woods. Seemed as though we were hours from civilization, yet there are several stores and restaurants within a few miles. I never had any reasons to contact the host other than to communicate that we had arrived and departed, however when we did message Mitzi was quick to respond! We had an amazing vacation and made some memories, if you plan to visit the area Please look up Pretty Place in Greenville, seeing the sunrise on the mountain side has to be the most beautiful views I have ever experienced! Thank you for sharing your lovely piece of Heaven on Earth! The Goodwin's-Florida

Great Private Place
This was the perfect combination of a bit rustic on the outside with a beautifully decorated, modern and clean inside. The feel was amazing. We felt very alone while also close to everything that we wanted to do -hike, visit Asheville, etc. I highly recommend this property to anyone that wants a quiet and relaxing get away.

Peaceful and secluded mountain retreat
We had a lovely 4-night stay at this cabin, complete with pine floors, wood ceilings, and the best front porch for enjoying the mountain air. The cabin was super clean and well kept. Beds were quite comfortable. An easy drive to get there, but privacy where you can’t see other houses. Great communication with the owners who were very helpful and sweet.

Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway
We had a great stay for 1-1/2 weeks at Mountain Laurel Cabin! The cabin is roomy, secluded, and just as described. It was very well stocked and included towels, linens, toilet paper, paper towels, and everything you would need in the kitchen. It was quiet and tucked away in the woods out of sight of any other homes. The location was perfect to get to downtown Asheville, the River Arts District, grocery shopping, restaurants, and a beautiful drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway (only 20 minutes away). We had a great time and enjoyed meeting the owners. We would definitely recommend this cabin and would love to return.

Great Cabin
The cabin is tucked away in a mountain but close to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway so you get seclusion and access to a city. The cabin description is accurate, the hosts communicate well, and the area is beautiful.

Excellent stay at Mountain Laurel Cabin
We loved the property and enjoyed our stay. It was very convenient to Asheville and the Biltmore. It was very clean and inviting and decorated for Christmas. Having two bathrooms was great and the kitchen is fully stocked with coffee, tea, condiments, spices and all the cooking and serving supplies you need. We shopped at the nearby Ingles and easily prepared two hot meals each day. The fireplace and firewood are wonderful. I highly recommend Mountain Laurel Cabin.

Everything we needed
We had a short 2-night stay but it was excellent. The house was clean and was exactly as described. We didn't want for anything. It wasn't a bad drive to the Biltmore and there was an Ingles fairly close. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!!

The cabin is clean and cozy. Mitzi was kind and warm. Queen beds were a bit hard for my comfort, but some guests will not be bothered by that. (My husband was not! Lol!) Our getaway was delightful. Recommend this property.

A peaceful mountain stay to remember.
My son and I came to the Mountain Laurel Cabin for a weekend getaway to relax, play music, and do some sightseeing in the Asheville area. The cabin is in a somewhat rural, quite location on wooded property and it is such a peaceful place to be. The cabin is beautiful inside and outside with lots of kitchen and living space for a larger family. The wood burning fireplace was a feature we wanted and we so enjoyed it. The cabin was stocked with all of the essentials as expected and the furnishings were very comfortable. We desired absolutely nothing that was not available to us. The owner was attentive and the communication was excellent. Thanks Mitzi ! I have stayed in many VRBO and other properties. This is my favorite so far. I will highly recommend the property to my friends and family. Certainly hope we can go back to Mountain Laurel Cabin again sometime.

50th Anniversary Getaway
We booked the cabin as a romantic getaway for my In-Laws 50th wedding anniversary and they loved it. The view was beautiful and as they both love being in the mountains, it was the perfect cabin retreat for them and a great place to put their feet up after exploring Asheville and scenic mountain drives. They loved it!

Weekend Getaway
Property was well maintained and clean -especially during this time having to deal with COVID issues, it was great to be in a very comfortable setting. If you want to unplug, be quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life (and still be close enough to various distractions in Asheville and surrounding communities)- this was a pleasant get-away location for us!

About the host

Hosted by Mitzi Riddle

Host profile image
My husband and I and his brother and wife bought this property in the 90's. From the timber that had to be removed for the road and housesite, they sawed all the lumber to build the cabin. We even had the hardwood floors and cabinets made from the lumber the boys sawed at our sawmill! We love to have guests enjoy the "fruit of our labors" here in our beautiful mountains!

Why they chose this property

There are so many beautiful cabins in our area for you to enjoy, but we invite you to give us a try! We all grew up in the beautiful mountains of WNC and wanted a place for others to get to experience a little bit of what we are blessed to enjoy every day!

What makes this property unique

We do all we can to make your visit one you will enjoy and talk about for weeks to come! If it is quiet and if it is rest you crave, you can definitely find it here at Mountain Laurel! But you are still only a short drive away from "city life" and all the ammenities it holds. The cabin is fully stocked with most supplies you will need for your trip, so just load up the car and head to the mountains!
