It is so quiet and serene, you almost feel as if you are in a tree house. The sounds of birds and scents of greenery are calming. Decidedly removed from television and computer, and stocked with games and a piano, this is THE place to connect or re-connect with yourself and your guests. Mountain views are lovely and there is a large field through the woods that was once an apple orchard, where you'll find cows roaming from May through December. You will most likely get a visit at the back door from the friendly yellow lab who lives across the holler.
Glider and rocker on front porch and Adirondacks on the back deck. Lovely winter views and in summer it feels like you are nestled in trees with delightful of bird songs and fresh mountain breeze. Back deck has a grill and gives views of the pasture and treetops.
ABOUT SALUDA:
Saluda began as a railroad town and you feel that you've stepped back in time 100 years. It has just the right amount of current touches to offer charm and comfort and still keep it's original flavor. The folks are warm and friendly and offer a taste of the past with family-owned country stores and antiques shops. Sprinkle in galleries, a bakery, a wine shop, charming gift shops, restaurants and a local playground, and everyone will find something to remember downtown by.
SHOPPING & ARTS:
These hills are alive with music! The Purple Onion restaurant features live music. On the weekends you can usually find live bluegrass music nearby. Saluda and surrounding area are very arts-minded with quaint Hendersonville 15 minutes away brimming with galleries & shops. Flat Rock Playhouse is on the way to Hendersonville. Asheville is another 15 minutes north.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES:
If hiking, fishing or water activities are your interest, there is Orchard Lake Campground, a short walk or drive from your log cabin stay. Day/family passes are available to enjoy zip line, fishing, swimming, canoeing, paddle boats and mini golf. Green River Outfitters and Curtis Wright Outfitters can get you set up to enjoy fly-fishing and tubing on the Green River. Keith's Bike Shop can outfit you to cycle through the mountain roads, if you are an avid cyclist. Hiking to Pearson's Falls is a short and lovely hike that is a perfect low key adventure for kids and adults.
RELAXING:
If your idea of a get-away is ...getting away... then take a nice long bubble bath in the spa soaking tub and cozy up with a book in your "jammies" in front of the fireplace or on the porch glider to the sounds of nature. A gorgeous way to reset and recharge one's spirit! Tickle the ivories? There's a piano!

Why the Owner Chose Saluda
Saluda is a gentle, charming place, that is enough 'away from it all' to feel like you've switched gears. In reverse, it's surrounded with plenty to choose from in all directions! It's really the town's people that make it. Everyone is so hospitable. Saluda has an affection for the arts and for dogs, something we are very affectionate about too! It's a refreshing change of pace.
The Unique Benefits of this Log Cabin
We love to bring friends up and paint, play music, read by the fire and explore the towns. The kids explore outside and make fairy huts, pick blackberries in the summer, go to the campground to swim, fish, do the zip line, and in the evenings they play games and make up plays. I always love to pop into Fresh Market in Hendersonville and take my time making a recipe I've been wanting to try. We love having a piano to play and my musician husband says the acoustics are great for his guitar. For me, it's just a way to change the channel of a busy existence, and catch my breath. It always feels like I've been away longer than I have.
