Why the Owner Chose Asheville
I have lived in the Asheville area now for 13 years. I find it to be one of the most wonderful and unique places imaginable. I wouldn't live anywhere else for anything. Something for everyone I always say! For nature lovers we have the Pisgah National Forest and the Smoky Mountains with unlimited hiking and bicycling trails, lots of waterfalls and one of the most diverse ecological areas in the world with over 100,000 species of plants and animals. Not only are the natural surroundings diverse but so are the people with their attendant cultural interests. And speaking of culture, Asheville is a haven for artisans with numerous galleries and festivals to show off their talents. If you love music, you've come to the right place. Not only do we have numerous concerts in the area all the time but we also have Friday night drumming during warmer months in Pritchard Park and Shindig on the Green in the summer, both free to the public. You will frequently hear a lone musician or a combo providing music in front of the cafes, Fine Arts Theater or Malaprops Bookstore. And speaking of downtown Asheville, it is impossible to walk down any street, anytime of day, any day of the week, any time of year and not find lots of people abuzz with activity. It is just a lively and invigorating town. And Asheville has some of the very best cafes and coffee houses you will find anywhere. Have I convinced you that I love it here? If so, or even if not, come and find out for yourself why Asheville is listed in numerous magazines and books as one of the top places to live or visit in the entire world!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Treetop Mountain Vista is a single cabin off to itself to provide longed for privacy. No one will bother you as you enjoy the hot tub for two high up on the deck. Part of the deck is covered for dining outside, which you can still enjoy even in a peaceful rain. The hot tub is open so you can thoroughly enjoy the night sky. The queen bed is in the great room with a perfect view of Mt. Pisgah as you awaken in the morning or just taking a breather anytime of the day. Everything is provided for your experience of rustic beauty with more than just a touch of luxury. The view from nearly every window is inspiring. You are right at Mt. Pisgah and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cabin is surrounded by trees, and you'll be watching the view over the treetops(hence the name TREETOP MOUNTAIN VISTA). Behind the cabin is more mountain to explore. But right up highway 151 and the Blue Ridge Parkway are plenty of places to hike or ride your mountain bike. It's an exceptional location! Yet not at all far from Asheville, Waynesville, The Biltmore Estate, The North Carolina Arboretum and too much more to mention here.
The closest attraction to our cabin and one of my favorites is only 4 miles away. It winds through amazing scenery all the way from Cherokee,NC into Virginia and has a variety of hiking trails.
The Biltmore House, known all over the world, dates back to the late 1800's. A trip to Asheville would not be complete without a visit.
"The Arboretum focuses on the education, economic development, research, conservation, and garden demonstration with respect to landscape, architecture, and plant sciences."
Second highest peak in Buncombe Co. Only 5 miles from the cabin to the trail head off the Blue Ridge Parkway. A moderate hike. At the top is a lookout tower and you may be able to see the cabin.
Located on hwy 276, it is an historic site: "Birthplace of forest conservation in America". It contains the first official school for forestry in America. Check their website for special events.
"The WNC Nature Center is a living museum f plant & animals native to the Appalachian Region" wildwnc.org
Encompasses the Cherokee Ancient Village, Cherokee National Museum, Education Center, Gift Store and more. Located in Cherokee,NC www.cherokeeheritage.org
The Pisgah Ranger District is dominated by Mt. Pisgah on the Blue Ridge Parkway and extends on both sides of the Parkway. The cabin is surrounded by the PNF but sits on private land.
Owner's Map of Asheville
I grew up in Northern Wisconsin, right in the middle of lush forests and an abundance of natural lakes. You might say I was a "country girl" and proud of it. In 1972 I moved to Florida to experience a different kind of life. Lots of sun, warm weather and gorgeous beaches. But still I had a dream, and that was to live in the mountains and be able to walk out on my deck and enjoy an amazing view. In 1996 I moved to Western North Carolina and have never looked back, because life in these mountains is everything I ever hoped it would be and more. Three years later I moved into my cabin and realized that my dream of having an amazing mountain view,(without even having to get out of bed)had come true. That first morning took my breath away as I opened my eyes and the first rays of sunlight hit Mt. Pisgah. Eighteen months ago I moved into a different location here in the area and opened up my dream to others. It has turned out to be one of the greatest joys of my life, to share this remarkable home. The cabin is located right outside of Asheville, NC and I still live nearby. I take a personal interest in seeing to it that everything is perfect for each new guest to arrive. Thanks, Nancy

5/16/09-5/23/09 Nancy, Your treetop mountain vista is a jewel in the Pisgah! The cabin is comfortable and cozy-view from the hot tub fantastic...From our first day of rain when we drove the Blue Ridge Parkway to Penland School of Crafts, through our meals at Mayfel's, Laughing Seed, Zambra and the Sunny Point Cafe into our walks at the Botanical Gardens and the Arboretum and our hikes at Pink Beds; Dupont State Forest & Chimney Rock, we appreciated the immense beauty of the area-the arts and contagious friendliness of the folk around here. Thank you for creating a great space and base from which to enjoy Asheville and environs. Scott & Lynn Ann Arbor, MI Tips: Two Spoons Ice Cream; West End Cafe; Bean Works, all in West Asheville. Leave at least 4 hours for Biltmore.
