Jack's Retreat - completed Feb 2018! Our cabin provides a peaceful, private getaway in the mountains, but is still only a 23 minute drive to downtown Asheville. It offers 3 bedrooms (master on the main floor and 2 bedrooms on the lower level).

The master bedroom has a king bed and the en-suite bathroom has a glass shower with a pebble-floor. And a big rain shower-head. The downstairs bedrooms both have one queen bed and share a "Jack and Jill" bathroom with a tiled tub/shower.

The cabin faces south, so sunshine is abundant on sunny days and sunrises/sunsets can be viewed from the rockers and swing on the decks.

The hot tub is accessible from the lower level deck - it sits out in the open; you can enjoy a nightly soak under the stars or savor the mountain views during the day.

We named this cabin after our son, Jack, born 2014. He played a big part in the building process.

With all modern amenities, one won't need to leave the cabin, but the surrounding area has so much to offer to the adventurous at heart. Conveniently located 23 minutes to downtown Asheville (Merrimon Avenue exit off I-240), 18 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway, 24 minutes to Biltmore Estate, 20 minutes to Black Mountain, 32 minutes to Chimney Rock/Lake Lure and 40 minutes to Hendersonville, this quiet getaway is still close to all the attractions and activities.

Check out our other two cabins:
Tyler's Hideout, a cozy one-bedroom cabin, which you pass half-way up the driveway, is named after our middle son, Tyler; vrbo listing id: 3376684. Both cabins are private and have their own parking areas.
Lazy Bear Cabin, a 2-bedroom cabin, just a few minutes away; vrbo listing id: 464821

Amazing family time

We had an amazing winter family vacation. The cabin was perfect in all senses and full of mountain theme decoration details around the house. It has everything you need in the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and game room. The rooms were cozy and prepared like hotel rooms.Thank you Lisa!

Great Mountain Getaway.

The place may be a little hard to find, but it’s worth a bit of a winding drive. Comfortable place, with great amenities, and even better views. It’s a great place to escape. Would recommend to anyone.

Amazing getaway!

We absolutely LOVED our stay! This was the cleanest cabin we have ever stayed in. They had literally everything you could think of or need! The first time up the driveway gave me chills so definitely make your first trip up in daylight if you aren’t used to the mountain roads but they have done a fabulous job. We are already planning our next trip to the cabin!

Amazing mountain cabin just outside Asheville

This cabin was everything we could’ve wanted for our stay in Asheville. It’s about 20 minutes from downtown Asheville and 20-60 minutes from some of the best hiking we’ve done. The cabin was huge, well-cleaned, and well-decorated The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, plus there was a grill and a fire pit. The hot tub was an added bonus and perfect for the chilly mountain nights! Check in and check out was incredibly easy. Lisa and Jay have built a beautiful cabin and we can’t wait to come back and stay here again!

Gorgeous Cabin

Four adults stayed in the cabin, it was spacious and immaculately clean. I have never stayed in a VRBO that was as well stocked as this one, every utensil/dish/etc. was easily findable and in perfect working order. The view was beautiful from the back decks. Having bedrooms on two floors allowed us to all have our own space when needed. The host was communicative and everything was smooth. The driveway is tricky but we managed. If you want to get away and have peace and quiet in a beautifully maintained property this is the cabin for you!

Just what we needed.

The listing does not lie. Perfect for 2 couples. Memorial Day Weekend is a tradition for us. We didn't really get out and sightsee, but we are familiar with the area. Getting anywhere is convenient, we had no trouble. There was plenty to do at the cabin between the hot tub and fire pit. The kitchen is well stocked. We found the beds comfortable. The views are spectacular! It feels remote and private. Highly recommend!

Fairview Cabin

Beautiful views!! I loved that we weren’t staring at other properties close to us. It made you feel secluded and gave you privacy, but there were other properties just at the end of the driveway which was nice to know someone wasn’t far in case. Cabin was very clean and rooms and bathrooms were perfect. My only feedback would be the living room area was smaller than I expected from the picture so all 6 of us couldn’t sit comfortably to chat, but with the open concept we were still able to all gather together.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Gurney

Host profile image
Jay and Lisa met in Asheville as teenagers. We both love the outdoors, love to travel, but most of all we love to call Asheville home. The mountains and views in this area are what refresh our souls - such a gorgeous area to live and play. We welcome you to come experience Asheville and everything the city and surrounding areas have to offer! We're pretty confident you will not be disappointed by our cabin. And Asheville itself!

Why they chose this property

Because we love it and believe you will, too. :o) We chose this piece of land for the privacy, woods and mountain view. The rest is history - took us 14 months to build and complete (children can slow jobs down quite a bit, we discovered). But nonetheless, our family of four was involved in every aspect of construction.

What makes this property unique

Since the outdoors and nature are a huge part of our family's lives, we selected bear decor to compliment the stunning animal that shares the Ashevile area mountains with us. Every now and then a bear may be spotted during the summer and fall months. But plenty of birds, bats and owls (both at night), etc. can be seen or heard. We have a resident lizard that sun-bathes on the rocks, and a couple blue jays that have made this spot their home.
