Why Sharon Tabor chose Smoky Mountains
My favorite place is Asheville where I owned Acorn Cottage B&B. I fell in love with the cozy, unique property that has the best of both worlds: the quiet peacful atmosphere of the mountains, but convenient to town.
It's absolutely amazing how close the house is to everything there is to do in the area, but how quiet it is! You actually feel as if you are miles from town - but you aren't!
What makes this bungalow unique
I love sitting on the porch listing to the tree frogs and crickets at night. During the winter I enjoy curling up in the recliner chair in front of the fire with a good book and glass of wine.
For a marvelous mountain view, a short walk up Breckinridge Pkwy near the house reveals the magic of the area.
I love the diversity of cuisine in the Asheville & Weaverville area less than a 10 minute drive from the house.
Guestbook comments from the owner
This place was like stepping back in time. We couldn't believe how convenient the house was to everything we wanted to do, yet it felt like we we out in the country. It was private, quiet, neat and clean. Just what we wanted.

Simple place
It was a nice house. It's an old house, you get pass that it's great. The owner was available for our questions. Washer and dryer were there
House needs some work
Overall, we had a nice stay. The house was only a few minutes from downtown Asheville. The queen bed in the master was comfortable. Cannot attest to the twin beds in the other room since they were not used. It was nice having a fireplace to turn on quickly. The first night was chilly, but after that we didn't use it.
Here are my issues. The floors are quite uneven and a little disconcerting. The bathroom is set up strangely. A larger person would have issues getting between the sink and the bathtub to get to the toilet. The drains, both the tub and the sink, in the bathroom backup quickly. The curtains throughout the house are too long. While this might sound petty, it does cause an issue when trying to get into the bed on the side closest to the wall. A bit of a tripping hazard between that and the cord from the AC on the floor. The cabinet in the kitchen that is across from the refrigerator is not anchored to the wall, and almost tipped over (partly due to the slanted floors). The landscaping could use some maintenance.
A really comfortable place with lots of room.
Nice, comfortable, clean. Steps and walk a bit uneven and tricky if coming in at night. Overall we liked it enough to come home and book for next year. Convenient to everything.
Super cute, easily accessible, great lot.
We had a great time! The home is just as described by other reviews -- perfectly humble and everything you'd expect. Great layout with two small common areas, and the bathroom and bedrooms are both larger than expected. Thank you!
Amazing location and Cozy Feel!
My wife and I had an amazing stay here at Cabin Laurel! Convenient location, cozy fireplace and homey feel was a great experience and we can't wait to book again!
Home away from home
Spacious cabin with everything we needed. Love the fireplace and the porch and the full kitchen. And the location is so convenient to everything.
Map
