Cute little spot! Was so close to Asheville. Road up there is not not for the feint of heart but is worth the gorgeous views from the porch. Bed looks out the windows to the mountains. Well stocked kitchen, nice owner!
I had a great stay in the rustic cabin. What a spectacular view and peaceful stay. The cabin had everything I could possibly want including a bear sighting. Thank you George for a wonderful space to decompress!
We absolutely loved George’s cabin it was the perfect place to stay for a nice, comfy, relaxing weekend in the mountains! It was very clean and George was so sweet, it’s wonderful for spotting wildlife we saw a baby bear, lots of turkeys, and a bobcat! I would definitely recommend staying here
This place was amazing! Beautiful views and the cabin was everything i could hope for. Very rustic and so fitting for the scenery. Our host, George was above and beyond for us. He was also an awesome tour guide for us. He actually made this trip for us. He even prepared a birthday meal for me. He allowed my pups and tortoise and I believe he enjoyed all 3 of them. I cant say enough about this whole experience. We are already trying to plan a return trip.Again it was a perfect week for us and we made a new friend.
Absolutely loved the place. Amazing views to drink coffee on the porch, comfortable bed, and hospitality provided by George made it such a great experience. We’ll definitely be booking again for our next trip.
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. The long deck provided us with gorgeous views of the mountains. The birds sang to us all morning. The red tailed hawk was a special visitor.We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
The cabin is in a beautiful setting. Very quaint. Loved sunrise and relaxing on the porch. George is very welcoming and has put much thought into stocking the place with anything you might need. I would recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful scenic getaway. The only caveat is that those with allergies or sensitivities may find the place a little triggering.
George greeted us when we arrived. He is so sweet. The cabin was roomy for the 2 of us and our 3 Chihuahua mixes. Very well stocked with all the appliances you need. We needed nothing to be able to be comfortable. View is spectacular and would be even more so in sunny weather (which we did not have).
We loved our stay! Our host George treated us and our dogs like family. Our cabin had everything we needed. The view was amazing, especially the sunrises.We look forward to visiting again!
The host George was amazing at giving us some places to visit in the area that had what I was looking for. The place is exactly as described in the listing but much better. The bed is comfortable and it's very clean. Usually I do not sleep well away from home. I did here. We saw turkeys and other wildlife too. The views are amazing like nothing else you will experience. You can see the beautiful sunrise from your bedroom window. We will definitely return and will book again for our next Asheville stay. Thank you George for having us from West by God Virginia.
Its an absolutely cozy, beautiful place to stay! It has everything you need! George was a great host! He responded so quickly everytime I messaged him with a question! Check in was super easy as well! I would definitely stay here again!
Nice quiet location, views are great, owner is wonderful and very friendly. Shower is a little small, but it is in the description. Overall, highly recommend.
Such a beautiful place to stay and the host was super accommodating and welcoming! I couldn’t believe the view , the pictures definitely don’t do it justice. It really felt like we were among the clouds.
We loved our stay at George’s mountain cabin. The view was beautiful, and it was a joy watching the buntings and warblers from the porch. The cabin was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The wifi speed worked fine for my husbands work. Great location for Asheville , the Biltmore, and waterfall day trips. George was a great host. We would definitely stay here again!
This cozy cabin was perfect for our Asheville weekend getaway! Close to everything we had planned, yet tucked away enough to feel completely secluded. Even cuter in person and spotless! We loved our stay.

About the host
Hosted by George Stanley
I am retired. I enjoy my cat, Olly.
I retired from the Community College System and enjoy meeting people, thus the rental.
I enjoy traveling and finding neat places. I hope I have created one here.
Why they chose this property
I had a half -finished basement when I purchased the home, which I separated from the house upstairs. I envisioned a downstairs cabin so others could enjoy the beautiful mountains as I do.
What makes this property unique
Living on a rural mountain and bordering the Biltmore Estate Property, there is an abundance of wildlife - turkey, deer, pheasants, bear, raccoons, generally all sorts of wildlife. I have pictures of bear in the yard and in close-by trees. At an elevation of 3,346 feet, the cabin overlooks a huge valley. The valley is often filled with fog, creating a beautiful sunrise at eye-level.
