About this property
Huge 8 BR/8 BA Secluded Retreat, Spectacular Views 15min to downtown on MTS Tr
What sets the Wayward Moose Lodge apart from the rest of the properties in the Asheville area? Its location has to be first on the list. You will feel secluded, having a mountain top with incredible scenic views all to yourself, but you in fact will be 5-10 minutes from shopping and 10-15 minutes from eclectic downtown Asheville with all it’s breweries. Twenty minutes to the east is the quaint town of Black Mountain. You will find some of the best hiking, fishing, and white water the region has to offer within an hour’s drive. The Mountains to the Sea Trail and Blue Ridge Parkway will literally be a few hundred feet out your back door. The second thing that sets us apart is much more mundane but seems to be important to many of our guests and that is the fact that each of the eight spacious bedroom has its own bathroom. Two of these eight bathrooms have air jetted tubs and the primary suite has a claw foot tub as well as large shower. You can’t overlook the view. Actually, you can overlook it all you want, as it will be staring you in the face about anywhere you are at the Wayward Moose Lodge. My favorite vantage point is from a rocking chair on one of the extensive porches. There is no better way to end a day than to relax with family and friends on the porch in the evening, soaking in the last remnants of daylight on the mountain peaks in the distance. As the evening progresses you can join your family and friends around our fire pit. When you find yourself having to go inside you will enjoy a lodge type setting with log walls and vaulted ceilings. There is a large great room that is a perfect place for gatherings of any sort and this is serviced by a professional style kitchen. All of these features make the Wayward Moose Lodge a perfect place for family reunions, wedding parties and corporate retreats.
We can provide transportation for a fee in our 12 passenger(including driver) 4WD van. Go out for an evening on the town and leave the driving to us. If the weather gets bad, we can get you where you need to go!
Special notes: The Lodge is made up of 2 structures, the main Lodge and the Guest House. They both have 4 bedrooms and 4 baths each . All the common spaces are in the main Lodge and the Guest House only has bed and bathrooms. The 2 structures come at the one rental price quoted and they cannot be rented separately. To access the main Lodge you have to climb the 10-15 stairs seen in our pictures. The 2 buildings are very close to each other (10-20 feet apart).
Per Vrbo policy we need to disclose that there is a ring camera overlooking the parking area that we use to keep an eye on things when there is no one staying at the Lodge. If this is an issue for you, there is a switch to turn it off.
PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME WE ARE ALLOWING GUESTS TO RENT THE MAIN LODGE BUILDING WITHOUT THE GUEST HOUSE FOR A DISCOUNTED PRICE. IT HAS 4 BEDROOMS AND 4.5 BATHROOMS AND EASILY SLEEPS 10. INQUIRE REGARDING DISCOUNTED PRICES FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY.

Gorgeous views, absolutely phenomenal space for large groups, super easy check in, kitchen is easily ready for cooking anything. It's very hard to find a place where every room has a bathroom, but this is it. Our group had a blast.
We had a fantastic time. The cabin(s) are spacious and well appointed. We loved the privacy, the views and the proximity to downtown Asheville. Highly recommend!!
Excellent property, kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. WiFi was great with no issues and the views were awesome. Even saw a family of black bears two nights.
We have a large group that comes to Asheville every year to check out the brewery scene. The Wayward Moose Inn was perfect for us. The property was plenty big enough for the whole group and having the ability to schedule a shuttle ride to downtown was an added bonus. We’ll definitely be looking to stay here when we come back.
Property is perfectly located, up in the high ground of surrounding mountains but easy access to interstate, stores and restaurants. Held a business leadership retreat for 8 people and was perfect for our needs.
We had a great time here and the property is well appointed and nice. Each bedroom is large and has its own bathroom and shower facilities. We saw a bear family a couple times, So keep that in mind as you stay. The road to the house is winding and narrow, but we never ran into any other traffic so it was OK. Asheville is minutes away, so the location is great.
This was a great place for the whole family to have fun and share wonderful experiences. The access road could be a little dicey during a heavy rain but we were able to get around OK.
We had a wonderful trip with our extended family who were in town for the holidays from Europe! We cooked and enjoyed the property while doing holiday crafts and visiting Biltmore!
We hosted a family reunion here - 20 of us from all over the world. The lodge was well appointed and set up for a group of our size. Gorgeous views, great location, well equipped and responsive owner. Loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom, plus multiple dishwashers and refrigerators. Would stay here again - highly recommend!
We loved the cabin, great kitchen, beautiful place. our driver picked us up and took us to the Orange Peel for a concert, absolutely great service. All 14 of us recommend the wayward Moose for your group or family.
The home was beautiful inside & out. The space offered was perfect for our party of 16 adults. It was amazing that each bedroom had a private bath. The gourmet kitchen, vaulted living room & dining room was perfect for entertaining. We would definitely stay here again.
A wonderful option for a large family getaway. Convenient to downtown Asheville, numerous state and national parks, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore Estate, a small zoo, numerous breweries, and so much more. All bedrooms have an en suite bathroom, which worked out wonderful for us. Great communications with the owner, would absolutely consider coming here again.
This is a really great place for a big family get together. We had 14 people stay here, and it was very comfortable. It was great that there were so many bathrooms. The views are amazing, and we really enjoyed the hiking trail above the house. The kitchen was nice, with very good appliances.
