About this property

Welcome to Winghaven & Asheville! Secluded yet convenient to shops & food

Located on the south slope of Burney Mountain in the beautiful Mountains of North Carolina, the Chalet at Winghaven is a spacious, sunny log home, built in 2014.
Close to Asheville (twelve miles to downtown) and all its attractions, the Chalet is surrounded by 38 acres of picturesque hardwood forest. Wild turkeys rustle the fallen leaves in winter and lead their young in spring. An abundance of birds and other wildlife can be spotted from the sunny porches and a large south facing deck.
Amazingly this natural oasis is hiking distance from the local pizza place and the closest large grocery store is less than four miles away!
Open the sliding glass door of the spacious MASTER SUITE to enjoy the mountain air or relax with a glass of wine on the covered porch.
Sleeping in the LOFT BEDROOM with its own private full bathroom feels like being away from it all, up in the trees.
Guests of all ages enjoy the BUNK ROOM which is adjacent to another full bathroom which features a washer and dryer.
The open kitchen /dining / living space with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams is bright and airy during the day and cozy at night with a fire in the Danish wood stove.
Outdoor amenities include two covered porches, a deck, a gas grill and a fire pit perfect for making s'mores.
The Chalet is a convenient home base for the multitude of activities our area has to offer: Visit the Biltmore Estate ( 11miles), Downtown Asheville (12 miles), Historic Hendersonville (14 miles), go tubing or kayaking on the French Broad River, zip lining, drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, hike a different trail every day or see five magnificent waterfalls in just one day. There are wine tastings, beer tours, music and dance performances to attend and fabulous restaurants to try. Biking is a favorite sport here be it on the road or on mountain trails. We are more than happy to help you with planning your vacation so please talk to us and let us know what you are interested in.
Of course the Chalet is also an awesome place to just relax, enjoy the sun shining through the leaves, the peace of the forest and the starlit nights.
Please note that the Chalet is accessed by a private gravel road but 4-wheel drive is usually not necessary. We are happy to talk to you about the road if you are not familiar with driving in the mountains!

It was a really nice experience. It was far enough from town that it felt private and peaceful. An extra added benefit was that it had well water and not municipal water, which provided us an additional benefit. The hosts were very responsive and flexible. I would definitely recommend to those who want a peaceful and secluded VRBO.

Beautiful cabin, well appointed and cozy. We were only there to sleep but did notice some of the furniture was dated in the den. We needed a pack and play for our son and Saskia had it set up in the downstairs bedroom which was welcomed. I would rent this cabin again, especially for a spring or autumn stay as I imagine it would be more beautiful.

My wife and I enjoyed the peace and quiet at Winghaven Chalet . My only concern was the rough drive way getting up to it its about 3/4 of a mile, we made it just fine in our Hyundai Sonata but i would not recommend it for a car any lower to the ground. The house was beautiful would definitely stay there again.

The cabin was extremely clean with very open spaces to relax in. The deck is perfect for enjoying the incredible scenery surrounding the entire home. The road leading to the cabin made for a perfect hike for our dogs who also enjoyed the open floor plan of the home. Communication with the owners and the check in/out process was as good as it gets. We absolutely plan to stay again in the future.

Everything was absolutely wonderful! Check-in & out were very easy, the cabin was clean, & bed was comfy. If you are looking for a beautiful, roomy cabin in a serene, private, yet convenient location, THIS is the place! My husband suggested nicer living room furniture & a larger TV, (another in the primary suite would be nice) but this place will remain on our list to visit again!!!
The deck is outstanding!
View from every location is beautiful!
The Blue Ridge Parkway is close-by, easy to access, & is a MUST-SEE!

This is a lovely, spacious, well laid out cabin. Huge outside deck! It is a perfect location as so many great sights and things to do are within a few minutes. We travelled in all directions: north, south, east, and west and never had to go more than 30 minutes to reach so many great destinations. The driveway up to the cabin would be a challenge, but very doable even without 4 wheel drive. Just take your time, it’s part of the experience. Our hosts Jof and Saskia were very attentive to our needs. We’ll be back!

Amazing cabin

Our hosts and their cabin were simply incredible. The home had everything a family needs: pack and play, baby gate, highchair, booster seat, toys, books, ganes, dolls, even a dollhouse! My daughter didnt even need to pack their baby monitor or sound machine! Just incredible! There was plenty to do around town: the Biltmore, Omni with their gingerbread houses and car show, restaurants, play places... We all highly recommend this home away from home!

It’s all about your expectations

Time of stay: July of ‘24. Our experience at the Chalet differs from other reviews. We expected to have mountain views based on the pictures posted. Since we visited in summer and not winter (when the mountain view pictures were taken) we saw a forest. We arrived late Monday, check in was a breeze. Our 2 young sons ran around in awe of the cabin. We noticed insect activity that evening, some spiders and ants, but turned in for the night. On Tuesday morning in the kitchen and bathrooms there were varying insects. To be fair, I texted the host and within minutes received a reply that contained an offer to have the house sprayed. We decided against this as the insects were not confined to one area and did not want to come back to the smell of chemicals after a day out. We continued our stay, but we were not comfortable in the home with all the insect activity. We decided to leave 2 days early. I messaged the host and to their credit, even though we did not ask for nor expect a refund, they refunded us for the remaining 2 nights of our reservation. Here is what I would say if you’re staying in the summer, as long as you’re expecting to be in a tree house and glamping in nature this is the spot for you! The cabin is beautiful, in a great location and secluded. Again, it’s all about your expectations.

A great location

Clean and comfortable. A short drive to Asheville, Hendersonville, or Flat Rock. Entrance road was a little rough but had no problems, thankful we didn’t meet anyone, there were places where cars could pass, many places 1 lane through.

Relaxing Cabin in Asheville

Wonderful, clean, relaxing and secluded cabin. This place was perfect for our stay, we felt close to everything but also very secluded when we wanted to relax. We had our young child with us and they provided excellent amenities like a baby gate, portable crib and high chair, that made our trip easy! There was also plenty of room for our family and friends to come gather and share a meal. Loved the porch! We would definitely stay here again!

Great mountain log cabin

Stayed the extended weekend. House was very clean and we loved the solitude. Despite being one of a only a few houses on the mountain, we were still very close to Biltmore and other attractions. Love the views with morning coffee and the house felt bigger than the pictures. Extremely happy with this rental and look forward to returning.

About the host

Hosted by Jofre & Saskia Cacanindin

Host profile image
After living or owning properties in Germany, the Philippines, Hawaii, Manhattan, Croton-on-Hudson, and Raleigh, we chose the Asheville area to raise our three children. We love the cultural and natural richness of this place. The mountains, forests, ecological diversity, waterfalls and the local food movement, farms and markets, outstanding restaurants, cultural events and interesting, friendly people make this a great place to live and visit. We decided to build the Chalet at Winghaven so we can welcome people to this amazing area that we enjoy so very much.
We live just about ten minutes away from Winghaven, on a small farm with dairy goats, rare breed chickens, ducks, geese and dogs. . Of course we would also be delighted to have you come in person and visit with the animals during your stay at Winghaven! Naturally, we will always have fresh eggs from our happy hens as well as handmade goat's milk soap for you at the Chalet at Winghaven.

Why they chose this property

We looked for a long time to find the ideal vacation rental property here in our beautiful area. We were not satisfied with what we could find, so we decided to build it ourselves! The chalet is very close to our own home, but we still feel like we are on vacation every time we go up there, even though we go there mostly to work! We love the seclusion and privacy of a large property, but we don't like to drive forever to pick up some groceries, go to a restaurant or enjoy the culture of our region. One of the most important aspects in our search for the perfect vacation spot was that the home needed to be sunny and bright. When we found this amazing piece of land it was just a perfect fit. We love the special feeling and connection to nature that only a log home can offer, so this is what we built and we feel that it fits its location amazingly well.

What makes this property unique

The chalet feels bright, airy and warm, with its exposed wooden beams, high ceilings and natural materials throughout. We love to have a crackling fire in the wood stove when it is chilly outside or sit on the porches and enjoy a glass of wine under the stars in summer.
We designed the home to take full advantage of its location and the mountain views. The inside and outside connect through sliding glass doors and huge windows.
The loft bedroom is amazing, it feels like you are sleeping in the tree canopy up and away from it all. Our kids love the bunk room, this is a favorite sleepover spot for them and their friends. The master bedroom is spacious and it is nice to open the sliding glass door to the porch and take in the night air before going to sleep.
We love to explore the forest, follow the little stream downhill and look for the large flock of wild turkeys that is always to be found here somewhere.
