About this property

Dupont Forest Trailside Cabin

NEW UPDATES FOR 2025:

***The cabin now has fast and effective Wifi through Starlink!
***There is no longer a caretaker on the property so guests will have the entire property to themselves!

This spacious log home sits on a wooded and private 5 acre lot next to Dupont State Forest. It is only a 1/2 mile to the closest trailhead in the 10,000+ acre recreation area. Dupont is famous for its incredible waterfalls, swimming holes, and 90 miles of trails. Whether on foot or mountain bike, you can explore Dupont's trails easily from this comfortable and cozy cabin home. After your day outside you can relax on one of the covered porches and enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountains that awaits you.
This 3 bedroom home has newly remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen is fully stocked with the essentials for cooking your meals while you stay. The cabin is great for large groups or families and can sleep up to 9, with 1 double bed, 1 queen 1 king sized bed, and a double and single futon in the living room. And it is also perfect for a romantic getaway for 2, as it is comfortable and private.
The home sits directly in between the two mountain towns of Brevard and Hendersonville NC. Each just a 20 minute drive away. Asheville is a 45 minute drive, so close enough to enjoy as well. Brevard and Hendersonville both offer excellent dining options, galleries, shopping, and breweries in cute small town settings.
Pisgah National Forest is just 15 minutes away if you fee the urge to explore the trails outside of Dupont. And Pisgah boasts more beautiful waterfalls and amazing hiking/biking trails.
So if you want to get away for a vacation in the mountains of western North Carolina, this house will allow you to enjoy easy access to outdoor recreation. As well as put you very close to Asheville, Brevard, and Hendersonville if you want to get out on the town during your stay. You will also be a very very a short drive from many of the areas breweries- Oskar Blues (12 minutes), Sierra Nevada (35 minutes), and many more in Brevard, Hendersonville, and Asheville.
And just a 30 minute drive from Henderson County's wine country where you can taste locally made wines at these vineyards: Burntshirt, Point Lookout, St. Paul Mountain, Marked Tree.

The cabin was expected. Clean and cozy with all essentials. Our family of 7, including 5 boys 12-3 yr old had plenty of space to relax indoors and outdoors. They enjoyed corn hole and ping pong as well as outdoor fires. They also played in a few indoor games. The location was convenient for exploring Dupont and Pisgah Forests. We also took a day trip to Chimney Rock and Ashville with drives under 1 hr.

Wonderful property for weekend stay near Dupont Forest. Fully furnished, very comfortable, host is great communicator. Log cabin home is absolutely beautiful and has everything our family of mixed ages needed, including outdoor activities for fire pit, corn hole, and trail hike. Home is located within minutes of all activities we came for—horses, waterfalls, orchard and downtown areas.

About the host

Hosted by David Workman

Host profile image
I am a father and husband. I am also a business owner who runs the popular Flat Rock Village Bakery and Pisgah Bakehouse nearby.
Currently I live in Asheville, NC. where my family and I enjoy all that this small, vibrant city has to offer. I am also an avid trail runner who enjoys running the Dupont trails as often as possible.

Why they chose this property

My house sits in a private setting, very close to Dupont State Forest. I love the quiet and tranquility of the location, and the easy access to trails in the forest.

What makes this property unique

Guests will enjoy the large deck to relax and breathe in the mountain air. They will also love sitting inside on a cold days in the comfortable living room by the wood stove. And if they want some outdoor adventure, they can easily walk or bike into Dupont State Forest from the house. Where they can enjoy the 10,000 plus acre forest with famous waterfalls, singe track trails, and lakes to swim in.
