Artisan Cabin Escape: Nature-Inspired Getaway
Welcome to Ivy Bluffs — A Sunlit Treetop Cabin Near Asheville
Escape to a peaceful treetop cabin overlooking the Ivy River, where mountain calm meets thoughtful comfort. Surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ivy Bluffs is designed for rest, reconnection, and slow mornings — whether you're planning a romantic getaway, quiet solo retreat, family adventure, or peaceful work-from-home stay.
Just 20 minutes from downtown Asheville and 5 minutes from charming downtown Marshall, you’ll enjoy privacy in nature while staying close to restaurants, galleries, and outdoor adventure.
Why Guests Love Staying Here
✔ Jetted soaking tub for post-hike relaxation
✔ Cozy wood stove for firelit evenings
✔ Treetop views and peaceful surroundings
✔ Dedicated workspace with fast Wi-Fi
✔ Two private decks for coffee, reading, or stargazing
✔ Thoughtfully curated, locally owned cabin
A Welcoming & Inclusive Space - We proudly offer an inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming environment. All guests are welcome and respected here.
Marshall Is Open & Welcoming - Our beloved mountain town has reopened and is warmly welcoming visitors. Enjoy hot coffee, riverside dining, local art, and small-town charm. Nearby Weaverville, Mars Hill, and Asheville offer endless opportunities for exploring — or simply settle in and enjoy the quiet.
Inside the Cabin
Main Living Area - Warm wood tones, natural light, and modern comforts create an inviting space to gather. Cook a meal, sip espresso by the fire, or unwind with a movie, book, or puzzle after a day outdoors.
Bedroom 1 — Main Level - Queen bed with mountain views and plush linens designed for deep rest.
Bedroom 2 — Loft Retreat - A dreamy loft space with books, a queen bed, and a private balcony nestled among the trees.
Bathroom - Full-size shower and jetted soaking tub. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided.
Workspace - Dedicated upstairs desk area — ideal for remote work, writing, or creative retreats.
Outdoor Living - Two private decks invite you to slow down and reconnect with nature. Enjoy morning coffee among the trees, listen to the river below, or stargaze in the quiet mountain air.
Optional Add-On: Fresh Scone Service (Guest Favorite) - Enjoy delivery of fresh, homemade scones ($20) with rotating seasonal flavors. Add honey butter for $3. Flavor options are shared after booking.
Family-Friendly - Families are welcome! While stair gates are not provided, the cabin can be enjoyed by children with supervision.
Accessibility Notes - Our cabin is best suited for guests comfortable with stairs and uneven terrain. From the parking area, guests walk up stairs (no handrail), continue along a short gravel driveway, and climb another set of stairs with a handrail to reach the cabin. Inside, the jetted tub/shower combination requires a high step to enter. Please consider mobility needs when booking so you can feel safe and comfortable during your stay.

About the host
Your host
I'm Jenny (she/her), a community social worker who has lived in the South for most of my life. I enjoy traveling and exploring new cities with my spouse. We're always looking for the best vegan and vegetarian dishes, coffee shops, live music, hiking trails, fun dive bars, and dance spots. We're happy to share local recommendations with you!
Why they chose this property
This is a family owned and operated property. The cabin shares two private acres with the host’s main house. The main house is located just below the cabin but still allows for plenty of privacy. Please see pictures for more details. The hosts live in the main house and are onsite to assist guests with any needs. We are committed to providing a safe space for all guests, in particular LGBTQ+ guests and guests of color. We believe everyone deserves to feel safe while traveling. You have a safe home here at our cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains!
What makes this property unique
The quaint town of Marshall, the county seat of Madison County, is nestled between mountain cliffs and the banks of the French Broad River, just 20 miles north of Asheville. Known as the town that is "one street wide and a mile long," Marshall’s Main Street is lined with original buildings including the 100-year-old Madison County Courthouse, as well as art galleries, music and dance venues, an old-time general store, shops with unique home decor and gifts, restaurants with local produce, and coffee and pastry shops. A quick walk or drive over the river takes you to Blannahassett Island, where you’ll find the historic brick school house which now serves as Marshall High Studios, a home to many artists studios. You may recognize Marshall from the Netflix series “The Peripheral”, which features much of downtown Marshall and local properties.
