The Looking Glass Cabin is a cozy one-bedroom retreat on our 12-acre property at the historic Engadine Inn and Cabins, just 15 minutes west of downtown Asheville. It takes its name from Looking Glass Rock in the nearby Pisgah National Forest, and it is our closest cabin to that kind of country: step off the porch and you are minutes from on-site trails that run down to Hominy Creek and up into the Pisgah system.
-Sleeping: Queen bed in the bedroom, plus a sleeper sofa in the living room -Bathroom: Full private bathroom -Kitchen: Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need -Living Space: Comfortable living area with a fireplace for cool mountain evenings -Outdoor Space: Porch and direct access to the surrounding grounds
The land has history: it was once part of a vineyard that supplied wine throughout the East Coast. Today guests have the run of all 12 private acres, wrapped in mountain views, with the historic 1885 inn just up the hill.

Why they chose this property
Engadine Inn and Cabins offers the perfect balance of mountain serenity and easy access to Asheville’s vibrant culture. Engadine Inn & Cabins sits on 12 acres of rolling hills with sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views, giving guests the sense of a private retreat while still being only minutes from restaurants, breweries, and the Biltmore Estate. What we enjoy most is watching the sun rise and set over the mountains, walking the on-site trails, and sharing this peaceful slice of Western North Carolina with travelers who want to experience both adventure and relaxation.
What makes this property unique
What makes Engadine Inn & Cabins stand out is its remarkable history. In the late 1800s, this property served as one of the original vineyards for the nearby Biltmore Estate, America’s largest home. Today, guests can still feel that legacy while staying in a beautifully preserved 1885 Queen Anne Victorian home listed on the National Historic Register, surrounded by 12 acres of rolling hills, mountain views, and private cabins. Engadine offers more than just lodging. It is a chance to experience a piece of Asheville’s history while enjoying modern comfort in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
