We absolutely loved the views. The sunsets were incredible. The hosts were very helpful and Jack replied right away to our request for help with the television sound issue we had. We enjoyed playing air hockey and board games downstairs in the evening and getting some fresh mountain air for a couple days. Driving up and down the steep hill to the cabin was definitely a new experience, but we didn’t have any trouble in our rental car.

What a stunning property! We stayed for two nights after a few days in Asheville and were just in awe of the view, in fact most of our time was spent on the chairs on the deck admiring the mountains. It was an adventure getting to the house, the hosts left very clear and helpful instructions. There is a house right next door which we weren’t expecting, but was still very private. Would 100% recommend to friends and would visit again without hesitation. Also Old Fort was very small but the restaurants were a very pleasant surprise, very fun to explore the town and Black Mountain.

We had a fantastic time at this cabin. The views were spectacular. Getting to the cabin was an adventure, but we loved the seclusion of it. Cabin had pretty much everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest is providing little soaps for the showers. My friends that stayed in the upper floor said the shower floor was a little slick, but otherwise everything was great! We highly recommend this cabin. You won’t be disappointed!

We’ve been visiting Mountain Laurel Lookout yearly with our best friends family since our kids were elementary age. Now we have middle and high schoolers and the cabin remains perfect for our families and our cabin trips remain everyone’s favorite! The game room is amazing, the house is spacious even with two families, and the views are unbeatable!! Thanks for another great stay at your amazing cabin, Jack and Candace!

We had the most awesome trip. My husband and I stayed for two nights and just soaked up the beauty and tranquility the property offers. The home was so clean, cozy, comfortable and stocked with everything we could ask for. We had the most amazing bear experience with a mama and her two cubs digging up an underground beehive just in front of the back porch. That just made our whole trip. And we had the opportunity to meet Jack who was just so nice and helpful! We can't wait to visit the property again and would definitely recommend to our friends and family.

Very beautiful mountain home.

I highly recommend staying in this beautiful cabin. Everything is so clean and tastefully decorated. Very comfortable and nice sized rooms. This home has the most beautiful views of any cabin I’ve ever stayed in, I would definitely stay again, and the hosts were very accommodating and kind, they made recommendations for things in the area and respond very quickly to any questions. The drive up the mountain is a little intense, but not a hindrance unless it’s very foggy, the views are worth the steep drive in the neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

We chose this mountain location to build our cabin because of so many reasons! It has the amazing views, no highway noise, Verizon works, it doesn't get too much snow and it has easy access to I-40 to Asheville. We, together with our good friends the Morgan's, bought the top of our mountain ridge . We have over 27 acres between us with only our two homes.

What makes this property unique

Panoramic views!
