Cedar Mt. Lodge, Romantic 1921 Log Cabin, Close to Downtown, Hot Tub, Pet Friend

This was a perfect place for us, convenient to both Asheville and other points beyond. We found it nicely appointed and very comfortable and clean. The outdoor seating areas were nice and easy to access and there was a small fenced in backyard. Charming and I would recommend to anyone looking for that quiet get away.

We were delighted upon arrival to see such a cute, rustic and clean cabin. Very cozy and romantic and a great place for our 44th anniversary. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed (but the non-stick pans were not in very good condition and I was glad I brought my own). The interior was lovely with the knotty pine ceiling,big overstuffed chairs and pillows. The bed was very unique and comfortable. The fireplace added a wonderful glow. The lighting could be improved however. The lamp over the dining table is harsh and could possibly benefit from a larger shade or lowered so that the bulb is not directly on the eye. The table lamp bulbs are also visible and too bright on the eye. The hot tub was clean and the deck was a great place to sit under the trees. The yard in front was mostly muddy so that it was easy to track mud inside. We needed to remove our shoes and wipe our dog's feet every time we came in. To our disappointment, the fenced yard was also very muddy and not usable for us and our German Shepherd. The location was good, being close to the BRP and to town. The area around the cabin was quiet and peaceful and although Cedar Mtn. Rd was close, it was not too busy. We did have some difficultly making a left turn out onto 74A.

Overall, I would highly recommend this small cabin to anyone wanting a romantic getaway in the mountains.

Pros:

Location is great.

Kitchen, television, and fireplace are nice.

Property manager very nice- even sent items out that were left behind.

Cons:

The grill was extremely moldy.

Breaker for hot tub kept going off.

Tiny driveway.

Moldy shower curtain/bathroom cleanliness.

The property was as it was represented in pictures. A sweet cabin on a mountain road. Perfect location and a 15 minute drive to downtown Asheville, The Biltmore, Grove Park Inn, The Asheville Community Theater and everything else we planned to do on our honeymoon. The house is just a few streets from the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitors Center. A super place to start a tour, whether north or south, on one of America’s best and most beautiful roadways, in any season. We had a small disappointment when we arrived. We called the property owner and worked out a solution immediately. We would definitely recommend “1921” to any couple. If you are bringing your dogs, like we did, understand that there is no direct access from the inside of the house to fenced backyard’s gate and the grade of the property along the path to the gate is fairly steep.

This is our second time staying at Cedar Mtn. Lodge. The cabin has all of the amenities that we need including the hot tube, wifi and a fenced yard for the dog. The cabin is secluded, but is still within minutes from a grocery store, restaurants and downtown. We will definitely stay here again.
