About this property

Rustic Cabin, Appalachian Elegance, Rural But Close

As of May 23, 2020, my cabin is available for rent. I will follow CDC guidelines on cleaning, using an EPA-approved disinfectant for COVID-19 between customers. Thank you, George Stanley.

Appalachia at its best. A mountain cabin re-created within the basement (first floor, ground level) of my home for your pleasure. Private entrance(s), covered deck/patio, open deck, great view, very private setting.

The location has an East-West orientation, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Great place to sit, relax, and enjoy your favorite beverage.

The cabin is fully self contained. It has its own kitchen, bath with shower (no tub), and a small living/dining area. One bedroom with a king size bed.

Centrally located between I-40 and I-26, on Busbee Mountain, the property borders the Biltmore Estate and blends in with the Blue Ridge Parkway at an elevation of 3,346 feet. To get a real glimpse of the property, go to https://youtu.be/gd66YZ9MEsE

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!

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.

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).

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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by George Stanley

Host profile image
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.
