Cabin was great! Host was very responsive. Loved that the house was stocked with plenty of bathroom/kitchen necessities. The view from living area was wonderful. So much wildlife to see. Only caution would be the steep driveway and recommend 4WD/AWD as mentioned in description.

Just an amazing location and view from the kitchen living room and balcony. Lots of space great kitchen for cooking very close to a nature trail that leads directly to the Appalachian Trail. Driveway is a bit of a challenge so don’t bring a VW, hot tub is hot and clean ran well while we were there and its in a-gated community. We loved the place bring some food a couple of good bottles of wine and watch the sun set its amazing the hiking is also great in that area.

Absolutely amazing property. Loved the privacy and the views. The hot tub and firepit were brilliant and the open plan kitchen area was like being home away from home-had everything you could need to make a big family meal. The hosts are amazing-SO accomodating and helpful. I highly recommend this cabin. A perfect stay-thank you

This was the perfect spot for a high country vacation. We chose it because of easy access to Mars Hill and Asheville but didn’t end up needing to leave the house!We had plenty of room for 4 adults and our dog and thoroughly enjoyed having access to multiple cozy living spaces with tvs, two fenced in porches with incredible views for some time outdoors and a hot tub. The whole place was clean and well-appointed, which allowed us to make all our meals for the weekend. We also loved being a very quick drive to Big Bald on the Appalachian Trail and Hatley Pointe ski resort for a coffee run. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future!

We had a wonderful time. Host was very responsive and accommodating. Very clean. Cabin was comfortable. With unexpected colder weather we were still very warm without using the gas fireplace. Lots of towels. Comfortable beds. A few small minor things but nothing that would stop us from staying again. The only thing that could use some improvement is better instructions on which door is the entry. It was dark when we arrived and couldn't see anything without the use of our cell phones along with a very steep driveway. Finding lights was a challenge. However. In the daylight it's very easy to find.

Gorgeous View, Comfortable House

We enjoyed a week of mountain views and cool breezes in a private and comfortable setting. The house is a 70s era structure (actually built in 1980) that has been nicely refurbished - not luxurious, but tasteful and homey. We reached out to the owners with a couple of minor issues and they were very responsive! Some things to know: the house is not air conditioned, but we did not need it. It was typically 10-15 degrees cooler on that mountain than in the nearby town of Mars Hill. There were plenty of towels, but no wash cloths. And no toaster in the kitchen. Overall, we would definitely recommend this property for nice mountain getaway!

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Aug 2024
Thanks for your stay and review Douglas! We're glad you enjoyed your time spent on the mountain and we're grateful for the kind words! FYI here is a toaster in the kitchen in the upper cabinet where we store appliances. Also extra washcloths are in the closet next to the washer/dryer. We hope to host you again in the future! :)

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are friends who own multiple vacation rentals together in locations that we love to visit and enjoy! We care very much about the guest experience and our goal is to provide the most enjoyable stays possible.

Why they chose this property

We love Wolf Laurel because of the easy access to the Appalachian Trail and Big Bald Mountain. Skiing in winter is also a big plus! The high elevation setting makes the temperature pleasant in any season. Fall is also especially beautiful with the leaf change season! Spring is just as beautiful with trees leafing out and wildflowers emerging.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique due to the privacy offered. The home sits above the road and has long setbacks from neighbors, offering excellent privacy and quiet for your enjoyable stay. The views are excellent, spanning to the horizon line over 12+ layers of mountain ridges. The depth of the view depends on the season, temperature, and humidity. The home faces southwest, offering beautiful sunset colors in the sky.
