About this property

Asheville Mountain Log Cabin

In the rural mountains but 15 minute drive to downtown Asheville!
Sorry, no pets. (new carpet)
Hardwood floors and new carpet throughout the cabin.
This air-conditioned 2,700 sq ft rustic log cabin sits atop a mountain overlooking the Newfound River Valley and offers the perfect getaway. The wraparound deck provides sunrise and sunset big-sky viewing (and excellent star viewing at night). It's located halfway between Asheville (15 minutes) and Waynesville/Maggie Valley and delivers incredible mountain views from every window.
The cabin has a high speed internet connection from Spectrum with unlimited usage, so you can have a working vacation or you can stream movies (4K UHD Smart TV) & music as much as you'd like!
The main floor includes the master bedroom and an open, fully stocked, kitchen (new gas stove), dining and living area with a stone-stack fireplace, hardwood floors and cathedral ceilings. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer long-range sky, valley and mountain views. Each of the three bedrooms are tastefully furnished with a warm, cozy feel (new carpet). All three bedrooms have queen-sized beds. The loft also has a queen pull-out and includes a flat-screen TV (4K UHD Smart TV) with a large library of movies from which to choose. The kitchen has all the needed amenities. The high speed Wi-Fi will keep you fully connected to the outside world (when you need it).
The cabin is surrounded by 20+ acres of fields and pine trees with four horses that keep the grass cut short in spring, summer and fall. Perfectly located - Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore Estate, Grove Park Inn, Cherokee, hundreds of world-class hiking trails, river rafting, tubing, kayaking, rock climbing and fishing are all a short drive away. You'll be approximately 30 minutes from multiple ski resorts and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Note, there are outside cameras on each of the 4 sides of the house. They are there for outside security and tracking the landscaping work (only active when empty).
Also note, we have a 7-day max-stay rule.

Great stay
Great stay with our family. Easy access to Asheville as well as trails and waterfalls in various surrounding areas. The cabin was well equipped with games and especially puzzles - I think we completed 8 in 6 days! If I had any constructive feedback it would be that the road down in the valley isn’t super noisy but takes away from the serenity at times . . . and an outdoor fire pit would make the mountain experience complete - and allow for s’mores. Overall great place. We really enjoyed it.

Trip is tainted because of your accusations of damage.
My stay at your cabin was wonderful. The deck with the beautiful views were a favorite. It was fun watching the cows from the back deck every morning. Our stay was a much needed respite following the death of my husband last year. As we had made plans to visit the Asheville area before he died. But now the trip is tainted because of your accusations of damage. My 14 lb dog did pee on the master carpet twice, small amounts when we first arrived. I'm sure my dog was marking his territory because of all the stains on the carpet already. I immediately cleaned up the carpet were my dog peed and there were not any stains left by this. Following that my dog was never out of our site or he was in his crate. I don't understand why I was charged a pet fee of $75 and now you want me to pay $150 to clean your carpet that was already stained. And as for the chair, that damage was not there when we left. I had my hand bag on the table and my sweatshirt on that chair before we checked out. Again there was no damage on it. I have no evidence/proof such as photos to dispute these additional charges of $75 for the chair and $150 for the carpet. So I have no leg to stand on. I would recommend that others photograph/video the entire cabin on check in and check out so that they are not taken advantage of with additional charges.

Rustic Luxury
My wife and I have lost track how many times we have stayed at this luxury “cabin”. The location makes it easy for our daughter, son-in-law and grandson to visit from West Asheville and we are not far fro mountain hiking. We are planning our next visit.

Best getaway ever!
My family and I spent our Thanksgiving is this lovely and cozy cabin. It was very clean and spacious. It was the perfect getaway to unplug from everything and just relax. The rooms were great, kitchen and living room were awesome, and we enjoyed our ping pong tournaments in the basement. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to have a break from everything. Perfect place and not far from lots of things to do, whether it be shopping, hiking, or sight seeing! Definitely will be going back again. We fell in love with this place! The owners have done a wonderful job with the place. Thanks for letting my family spend our holiday there!

Lovely spacious cabin with a view
We had a great stay at Valley View Cabin! Cabin was nice and open. It sits on a nice spot with just a few other farm houses around. We ended up not really doing too much in Asheville but instead went on hikes and drives off of the blue ridge parkway & Pisgah national forest. We did end up having to drive pretty far to get to those places so if you’re looking to do that I would suggest somewhere closer on the other side of Asheville. But if you’re looking to spend time in Asheville it’s a perfect 10-15 min drive to the main parts of town. Patterson’s, Thanks for letting us stay at your lovely cabin!

Incredible mountain cabin
This property is situated beautifully out in the country with plenty of space to relax and unwind. Very easy to enjoy a quiet sunrise with a morning cup of coffee on the front deck or watch the day come to a close with the sun setting behind the mountains. With a short drive to enjoy the Biltmore estate or to the highest peak east of the Mississippi, this is the place to stay to explore the surrounding area.

Lovely Stay at a Homey Cabin
This place was perfect! This cabin had the perfect amount of rooms and amenities - and was a great distance from town. We were able to travel without hassle to nearby hiking/lookout spots and downtown for food/drinks/shopping and also enjoy the cabin's solitude. I will definitely recommend this space to others! Thank you to the host!

Wonderful stay!
Family and I had a wonderful time at this cabin. It had a wonderful view of the mountains - near and far - from the nice wrap-around porch. The cabin was well-appointed, clean, spacious, and had a great layout. We were VERY comfortable and had zero issues. Jim was super timely in all communication and I cannot recommend this place enough. Thanks for sharing your home for our escape to the mountains!

Will be coming back at with everyone we know!
We booked a last minute trip to Asheville and found this GEM! We had a wonderful time walking the property and our daughter had a blast "moo-ing" at the cows next door. We noticed how the log cabin did not smell musty as log cabins normally do. The freshness of the air outside matched it on the inside. A short 15-20 minute drive to breweries and restaurants, yet a slice of heaven if you want to stay in and play a board game or talk with friends. We want to bring both of our families back to this one. Thank you for your hospitality!

Live in Florida, but love to visit our Asheville Log Cabin. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Call if you have any questions.

What makes this property unique

Usually a mountain cabin in the Asheville region is surrounded by trees that block the view. Not so at the Valley View Cabin. There are sunrise and sunset views with a big sky view above for star watching.
