Sleeps 20 | Grand Mountain Lodge • Hot Tub + Sauna • Blue Ridge Views | Leyland
Perched above Asheville with Blue Ridge views spilling across the decks, Leyland feels like the kind of mountain lodge built for big reunions, long dinners, and late-night stories by the fire. This $1.5M+ cabin-style mansion blends grand log-home character with group-friendly comfort, offering 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and sleeping space for up to 20 guests just minutes from Downtown Asheville.
Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, warm log walls, and oversized windows bring the Blue Ridge setting right into the home. The main living room is bright and inviting, with plush seating, a stone fireplace, and a TV for cozy nights after exploring Asheville. Nearby, the dining area and fully equipped kitchen make group meals simple, whether you’re cooking a big breakfast before hiking or settling in for a slow dinner at home.
The outdoor spaces are where Leyland really shines. Multiple decks open to peaceful wooded surroundings and sweeping mountain views, with room for al fresco dining, morning coffee, and evening conversations under the trees. Unwind in the private hot tub, relax in the sauna, or gather around the fire pit as the mountain air cools. Between the views, the decks, and the spa-style amenities, the home is built for lingering outdoors.
When it’s time to play, guests have plenty of options. The large recreation room with foosball and the garage game room create dedicated spaces for friendly competition, late-night laughs, and easy group entertainment. With additional sleeping space in the upstairs common area, Leyland is especially well-suited for family reunions, friend trips, and group getaways.
The location makes it easy to enjoy the best of Asheville without feeling far from nature. Downtown Asheville’s restaurants, breweries, art galleries, and live music are under 10 minutes away, while nearby grocery shopping keeps the kitchen stocked with ease. From scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway to afternoons exploring the River Arts District, Biltmore Estate, and the surrounding mountains, Leyland puts your group close to it all—then welcomes you back to a private mountain retreat designed for comfort, connection, and unforgettable views.

We absolutely loved our stay. The space was beautiful and had everything we needed. The driveway looks scary but isn't bad at all!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear you loved the space and found it well-equipped for your stay. And we appreciate you reassuring future guests about the driveway — it does look a bit intimidating at first glance! We hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon.
We had a lovely stay at the Leyland cabin. It was very clean and spacious. The location was great too. The hosts were very quick to respond to questions.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Leyland Cabin and found the space clean, spacious, and well-located. It’s also great to hear our team was responsive and helpful during your visit. We’d love to host you again!
We had a wonderful family weekend to celebrate my brother’s 60th birthday. 8 adults from 5 different families along with 3 kids and there was plenty of rooms and space for everyone. The property was well managed, great communication and instructions. The hot tub was clean and a fun option. We loved building a fire in the pit, played Yahtzee, grilled, ate big meals and enjoyed the kitchen/dining area, and even saw a bear (lock your car doors because they know how to check handles). All the cooking items you will need is in the kitchen, including a keurig and drip coffee maker. Clean bathrooms and rooms. Everyone loved this cabin and location!

Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear your family had a wonderful weekend celebrating your brother’s 60th. It’s great that everyone had plenty of space, enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, games, and cooking together. Seeing a bear definitely adds a memorable twist! We’re so glad the cabin, kitchen, and location made your stay special, and we’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime!
Thank you! We’re glad the home was a great fit for your group. It’s always wonderful to host multiple families and see everyone enjoy the space. Hope to welcome you all back soon!
We spent a few nights here for my mom‘s 80th birthday and had a wonderful time. We loved sitting on the backyard deck with its amazing views. We even saw a bear in the driveway on 2 separate occasions so be careful. It could easily walk onto the lower level porch from the driveway.The cabin was beautiful but a bit dated in certain areas (old rugs from the 1980s on stairs). The decor is very cute though, especially the master bedroom. The tall ceilings and the windows in the living room are beautiful.The listing should mention the extremely steep driveway heading down to the cabin. My mother is terrified of heights and I probably would not have booked it had I known. I can’t imagine staying here in the winter months with a possibility of ice or snow in the driveway. There is no parking in the garage but the driveway can easily fit 4-5 cars. Directions were accurate. There are plenty of beds, which is a plus if you have a large family, but the set up of the bedrooms is a bit weird. The bedroom adjacent to the living room has double glass doors (with a privacy shade), has no TV, and it is the only community bathroom to use while you are hanging out in the kitchen or living room. I gave it a 4/5 for cleanliness because when we emptied the kitchen cabinets and silverware drawer to wash dishes, I cleaned them out and they were filthy, but overall the rest of the cabin was pretty clean. The property management is easy to communicate with and checked in with us often.

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review, and a very happy belated 80th to your mom! We're so glad your family had a wonderful time celebrating together and enjoyed the deck views, beautiful master bedroom, and those stunning living room windows — what a memorable backdrop for such a special occasion. We truly appreciate you flagging the concerns around the steep driveway, the dated touches, and the kitchen cabinets, and we'll be sure to pass this feedback along so we can keep improving. It's also great to hear our team was easy to reach throughout your stay. We'd love to welcome you and your family back for another celebration anytime!
Great open layout and perfect for a large group to sleep comfortably. Minutes to downtown by car. Very satisfied with stay. Perfect place to explore Asheville from.
Really nice home. Great view, super easy check in / out process. Will certainly consider coming back

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Lee. Aren't the views absolutely incredible?! We truly enjoyed having you and we look forward to hosting you in the near future.
I rented this cozy cabin for my birthday weekend with family and friends and it was 10/10! The house and property was so spacious and beautiful and AvantStay made the booking and check-in/out so seamless. We are already planning our next trip back!

Thank you for letting us be a part of your birthday experience, Maggie! We really appreciate the great review and hope to be able to host you all again in the near future!
Host was accommodating of a slightly early check in via text message, day of. Very responsive. Lots of space to socialize but also spread out and sleep. I would stay here again.
Although only 10-12 minutes from downtown Asheville, this home feels secluded being on a north-facing mountain with only one neighbor in earshot. Very quiet and peaceful home with plenty of space for many people.
These managers have thought of everything! We had a fabulous stay. Property was spotless and spacious……plenty of space for privacy and for gathering together both inside and outside.

Brenda, it was wonderful hosting you, and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! We really appreciate your kind words regarding our managers! We look forward to having you back next time, and thank you for your review!
We loved the cabin and the location! Everything was perfect except the oven not working. The staff was very helpful in coming to look at it and providing an air fryer, but it did impact some of the food we brought to make while there. Other than that, the rooms, bathrooms, outdoor space, and hot tub were great. Overall we really enjoyed our stay there.

Thank you for your review, Ashley! We're so glad to hear that you loved the cabin and its location, and that the rooms, bathrooms, outdoor space, and hot tub all contributed to a great stay. We apologize for the oven issue and understand how that impacted your experience. We're happy to hear the staff was able to assist, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future!
Beautiful mountain home 10 minutes away from downtown Asheville! This was the perfect spot for my bachelorette trip/group, and the house accommodated all 15 of us and we did not feel like we were on top of each other. Plenty of room to spread out, and you can’t beat the views! They texted before and throughout checkin in, and anytime I had a question management would respond within minutes. Check in and out was extremely smooth process. Overall great experience!

Ideal for a large group of friends who want to spend time grilling out, hanging on the decks and exploring local breweries. Ride shares could be problematic, but we always managed to get where we needed to go with enough notice. The grill was small, but manageable, even for a large group. Probably my only complaint was that the main TV wasn't very large, so don't expect to watch the game with a large group while you're there.

Outdated especially for the price
The property is disappointing in many ways for the price that you pay to rent it. The carpet is from the 1970’s, the furniture is about as cheap as it can be and the kitchen appliances lack a whole lot. The AC is extremely hard to regulate as well - the basement is freezing, while the upstairs bedrooms have a hard time cooling down.
Thanks for the longitude and latitude directions. Google maps took us to a spot 3 miles away when we used the address. Also thanks for the 10 lbs of ice in the refrigerator and the plastic trays since neither fridge has an ice maker. The kitchen fridge is too small for the opening and it looks like someone took a hammer to the stainless steel. I recommend you supply the garage door code since climbing the hill to go into the house each time and opening the door is cumbersome. Please tell renters to keep garage doors shut at all times and cars locked in the driveway. We had a mom bear and 3 cubs on the property 3 times. One time they were in the garage and opened a car door and took 3 bags of garbage out of the garbage can that had a lid on it. Another time the cubs were on the lowest deck. The 3rd time they were foraging the hillside and trying to get in the parked cars. Watching one cub climb a tree and look into the living room was very exciting. The wash machine needs repair. When it goes into spin cycle it sounds like a rock crushing. You can not converse on the main floor. The 8 chairs around the dining room table are very uncomfortable. Thank goodness for the 4 card table chairs. Beds were numerous and comfortable. The furniture in the Master Bath has deteriorated badly from the moisture (particle board furniture does that). The pictures and description were accurate. The problems listed are obvious until you get there.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Sharon! We're glad you appreciated the directions, the extra ice, and the comfortable beds. It sounds like you had quite the wildlife experience—bears certainly add an unexpected adventure! We’ll make sure future guests are aware of the importance of keeping the garage doors shut and vehicles locked.
We appreciate your notes on the kitchen fridge, garage access, washer, and dining chairs. Your input is valuable, and we’ll review these areas for potential improvements. Thanks again for sharing your experience—we’d love to welcome you back in the future!
The house was wonderful, clean and spacious for our group of 10 girlfriends! Mercedes was so easy to communicate with and quick to respond even before arriving. It makes for such a great experience when you know your host genuinely cares about and prioritizes your experience as a guest! We were all able to be in the kitchen area comfortably while prepping and cooking meals and fit around the tables to eat and play card games. The deck and view were great and we hope to be back sometime in the warmer months to enjoy it even more!
The house is in a great location, easy and short drive to downtown Asheville, which was important to us!
Advice to future guests- absolutely worth it to stay here! But I would suggest trying to get to the house for the first time before dark (her check in time allows for that!) but the street before the one the house is on has a number of large ruts and potholes and, like most mountain homes, the driveway is very steep. My truck was fine for it but I was glad to do the drive in the daylight first.
We had a wonderful stay! This is our second time staying and we will be back! The view is unmatched, not to mention how much space this rental has! We had a hiccup of the power going out at midnight and Mercedes helped us contact the energy company to get it back up and running. She is super responsive! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!
Sixteen of us shared this beautiful home when in Asheville for a friend's wedding, and it was great! The view was gorgeous off of the back porch, it was super clean, Mercedes was very responsive, and it was an overall beautiful home. There were Wifi issues, but Mercedes informed us that there was work being done in the area. All in all, 100% recommend this property!
An awesome family weekend! Accommodations were EXCELLENT!
