We absolutely loved it here. We wanted a private Christmas getaway and this cabin in the woods was so perfect. Well off the beaten path, we had lots of peace and privacy. The cabin is very well appointed with everything you could possibly need plus it was spotless. Although we did not use the wood stove (it was 60 degrees on Christmas), the washer/dryer, grill or dishwasher, we did use the hot tub, microwave and oven and they worked perfectly. Even the master bed is an adjustable tempurpedic and very comfortable. The owner went above and beyond and decorated the cabin for us for Christmas - that was just such a nice surprise. One morning I opened the bathroom blinds and there were 4 deer within 8 feet just standing there looking at me thru the window. If you want a great little cabin in a gorgeous spot way out of the way but still easy to get to everything then this is the spot for you. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making our Christmas getaway so special!

Beautiful, secluded and peaceful spot. The cabin was clean, super-cozy and furnished with everything we needed. When something beyond his control went wrong, the owner went out of his way to fix it for us. If we visit Asheville again, we will book this place. Loved it.

Just Perfect

The cabin was isolated and quiet, but not too far from Asheville and Pisgah forest. It had everything you need, including hot tub, grill, comfy beds and a full kitchen. The owner was a great communicator and very flexible. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Hugh Green

Host profile image
Sharon and I were both born and raised in this area. We have either lived in this cabin or next door for the past 35 years. We've raised 3 kids, with two still in college. We own two businesses in the area, plus this cabin.

Why they chose this property

Relaxation is the key to any good vacation. This place has plenty of that!

What makes this property unique

Seclusion. On any given day you will have 5-10 deer walk through your front yard. The Brevard area which is 15 minutes away is home of the white squirrels and abundant waterfalls. . We have a family of white squirrels on the mountain. Be on the lookout while you are here. Wild turkey abound all over the mountain. All of this and you still can be to the grocery store or airport in less than 10 minutes...
