About this property

Olivia’s Cozy Cabin | Fire Pit + Mountain Views

Welcome to Olivia’s Cozy Cabin. A hand-built mountain retreat where warmth, charm, and a touch of rustic luxury await.

Lovingly named after our daughter, Olivia’s Cozy Cabin was created to support our family and offer guests a peaceful place to unwind. Nestled at the edge of our property, this 360 sq. ft. tiny cabin is built entirely from wood milled right here on-site. Surrounded by open pasture, home to grazing cattle, and facing the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains, the setting is pure Appalachian serenity.

Inside, tall ceilings and generous windows fill the space with natural light, making the cabin feel bright and open. While compact, every detail is thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and charm.

Step into the family room and settle in on the queen-size futon, or enjoy a book or card game from the shelves. A 50” smart TV is ready for movie nights or catching up on your favorite shows.

The fully stocked kitchen includes all the essentials for cooking, along with cleaning supplies, a fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit for your peace of mind. While we don’t have a dishwasher, we kindly ask guests to hand wash dishes before departure.

Just off the kitchen, the bathroom is supplied with plush towels and toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, and body wash.

The downstairs bedroom features a queen-size bed facing a sliding glass door that opens to a private deck with sunrise views of the mountains. Cozy up by the electric fireplace after a day of exploring.

Climb the handcrafted (steep!) stairs to the loft, where you’ll find a full-size bed nestled between large windows offering sweeping views of the pasture and surrounding hills. Please use caution on the stairs - they’re part of the charm, but also steep!

Our home is located just behind the cabin, and you may be greeted by our friendly red heeler or our two curious cats who love to say hello to guests.

Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch, stargazing by the fire pit, or just enjoying the stillness, Olivia’s Cozy Cabin is the perfect blend of comfort, character, and countryside charm.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a wonderful stay! Hundreds of lightning bugs in the back field and two very friendly kitties made our stay even better. Will definitely check to see if it's available the next time we're in the area!

The heat wasn’t working so we froze all night. It was only warm in the bathroom, which was downstairs so we left that door open hoping the heat would dissipate, but we were all cold.Thank you for the coffee, it was appreciated, but some sugar or artificial sweeteners would have been nice to have

Wonderful Little Cabin Outside Asheville

We were looking for a small cabin to spend the Christmas holiday and this one really fit the bill. Very clean and quiet and beautiful scenery even in late December. The hosts are wonderful and everything is very easy. Highly recommend.

Our stay at Olivia's Cozy Cabin was absolutely fantastic. The only thing we were upset about was that we only booked it for one night instead of two. It was perfect. The location is great, and you will not feel like you are only 15-20 min from Asheville. Clean, super comfortable, quiet, an awesome view, and an incredibly helpful/responsive host, all at a super reasonable price point. Not only will we be back, but we would love to build something similar. Thank you Shelby for making our visit one to remember!

Perfect Stop Off

Wonderful setting and cottage has everything you need for your stay. Host was in constant contact from beginning of booking till the end to make sure all questions were answered and if anything else was needed. I would highly recommend this cottage for comfort and scenery outside looking at the mountains.

About the host

Hosted by Shelby Poe

Host profile image
Hi there! I’m Shelby. My husband and I are both proud to be born and raised in Candler, NC. We’re raising our sweet daughter here along with our red heeler, Ruby, and two adventurous cats. As a family, we love exploring the outdoors, going 4-wheeling, and traveling whenever we get the chance. Hosting allows us to share a piece of our mountain home with guests from all over. We’re so glad you’re here!

Why they chose this property

My husband and I have always entertained the idea of building and opening a rental property. Us along with several of our close friends and family worked hard to build this cabin so that I could have the opportunity to stay home with our daughter, Olivia and have an income! All of the wood used for the cabin was cut and milled on site and a lot of hard work and love went into the beautiful one-of-a-kind cabin.

What makes this property unique

Stunning mountain views from a cabin built with so much love.
