About this property

Rustic Cabin, Appalachian Elegance, Rural But Close

As of May 23, 2020, my cabin is available for rent. I will follow CDC guidelines on cleaning, using an EPA-approved disinfectant for COVID-19 between customers. Thank you, George Stanley.

Appalachia at its best. A mountain cabin re-created within the basement (first floor, ground level) of my home for your pleasure. Private entrance(s), covered deck/patio, open deck, great view, very private setting.

The location has an East-West orientation, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Great place to sit, relax, and enjoy your favorite beverage.

The cabin is fully self contained. It has its own kitchen, bath with shower (no tub), and a small living/dining area. One bedroom with a king size bed.

Centrally located between I-40 and I-26, on Busbee Mountain, the property borders the Biltmore Estate and blends in with the Blue Ridge Parkway at an elevation of 3,346 feet. To get a real glimpse of the property, go to https://youtu.be/gd66YZ9MEsE

We really enjoyed our stay here! The space is well thought out, decorated in a way that provides that cabin feel to it. Clean & comfortable. Our host George was very friendly, yet allowed us space. Scenery is stunning! You'll have views both directions including the Biltmore grounds. Although it's on top of a mountain, it's less than 20 mins to town. We even got to see some bears. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay with great views and close proximity to the city! This is my second stay at George’s property and it’s such a nice place and a fantastic value. It’s quiet and secluded but you’ll be in the city within 15 minutes. My dog and I both enjoyed our stay and we’ll be back!

As of today, Jan 5, 2026, new bedding has been delivered. I appreciate this guest letting me know the bed was only "good enough". I want my guest to have an experience worthy of the visit and be completely satisfied.

Such a wonderful, inviting and quaint cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The mountain views are stunning - we even got to enjoy a little dusting of snow. And then there’s George- he is such a welcoming and warm host. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to visit again. Dale & Debbie

About the host

Hosted by George Stanley

Host profile image
I am retired. I enjoy my cat, Olly.

I retired from the Community College System and enjoy meeting people, thus the rental.

I enjoy traveling and finding neat places. I hope I have created one here.

Why they chose this property

I had a half -finished basement when I purchased the home, which I separated from the house upstairs. I envisioned a downstairs cabin so others could enjoy the beautiful mountains as I do.

What makes this property unique

Living on a rural mountain and bordering the Biltmore Estate Property, there is an abundance of wildlife - turkey, deer, pheasants, bear, raccoons, generally all sorts of wildlife. I have pictures of bear in the yard and in close-by trees.
At an elevation of 3,346 feet, the cabin overlooks a huge valley. The valley is often filled with fog, creating a beautiful sunrise at eye-level.
