Spectacular, 13 year old luxury log cabin with fabulous view of Grandfather Mountain and the John's River Gorge. This house is constructed with 10 inch round logs from Montana for that western lodge look. It boasts a huge great room with 25' vaulted ceiling, beautiful stacked stone fireplace, lots of windows, huge deck to enjoy the view, top of the line kitchen, hickory floors, and inviting mountain decor throughout. At 3000 feet, the air is nice and crisp, but air conditioning is available if you need it.
This house has three bedrooms and three full baths. Two of the bedrooms have fabulous views and private baths. One of these bedrooms, on the main level, has a queen bed.

The dining room is spacious and opens onto a covered porch. The kitchen is very large and is fully equipped with double ovens, built-in microwave, downdraft gas range, garbage disposal, dishwasher, and refrigerator with ice-maker. There is a large breakfast bar in the kitchen so there is plenty of room for everyone to eat.
The house is fully equipped with dinnerware, pots, pans, utensils, linens and has a washer/dryer.
We are located on 4 acres backing up to the Pisgah National Forest, so hiking opportunities abound. No smoking is allowed in the home and sorry, no pets are allowed either.

IMPORTANT NOTE - There have been some phishing scams associated with internet vacation rental sites where an e-mail pretending to be from the owner has arrived requesting payment via a bank transfer. Do NOT wire money. I accept Paypal and checks only. Any communication from me will come from email address. If you wish to speak with me to verify your rental, my cell number is 704-534-1429.
