About this property

Quaint, Charming, and Romantic Mountain Antique Log Cabin Awaits you!

The aftermath of Hurricane Helene has challenged WNC to extents many never thought possible. But we are Strong, and we are Resilient! And, we are blessed to to be able to offer Log Gap Cabin to guests! Though our area has suffered extensive damage in many areas, these Blue Ridge Mountains still have so much to offer. Spring is on our doorstep - that wonderful time of rebirth! Log Gap Cabin is a wonderful place to sit back, relax, observe nature, and unplug from daily life for a while. Make plans now to come for a visit - to rejuvenate yourself, and to help support the regrowth and rebuilding of our local towns. (4WD/AWD access only).

Log Gap Cabin was built with timbers that were hand-hewn in the 1800's. It's a truly special find, off the beaten path, and located just 15-20 minutes from Biltmore House, Asheville, Hendersonville, and access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Due to the terrain of Flat Top Mountain (the Cabin's home) 4WD or AWD is required - so bring your 'sense of Adventure' and don't be deterred because Log Gap Cabin's tranquil location is well worth the trek!

Quaint, romantic, and tranquil, Log Gap Cabin sits on 3 acres, at the very end of a private, mountain gravel drive (with some areas of steeper grade). The Cabin's closest neighbor is Aerie (our other signature property), approximately 50 yards to the SSW. This amazing cabin features an upstairs bedroom loft with queen-size bed, plus a queen-size Futon in the Living Room. Relax in the comfort of premium quality cotton linens and wrap yourself in plush bathrobes which are provided for your convenience. The Living Room is comfy cozy with an awesome masonry stone fireplace and hardwood floors. The kitchen is nicely stocked with all of the modern conveniences – coffee maker, blender, toaster, microwave, stove/oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, dishware, cookware, bake ware, and utensils. If you're unable to 'unplug', don't worry, there is WIFI, and 2 flat-screen TVs. We hope, however, that you'll spend the majority of your stay enjoying nature's serenity and the quiet of the mountain. The property offers several options perfect for relaxation: the fire-pit outdoor seating area featuring a 2-person Amish swing and Adirondack chairs from which you can see Bearwallow Mountain in the Spring and Winter; the L-shaped, screened-in porch which features 18" wide-planed pine boards, a cafe-style table and chairs, and soothing, relaxing rocking chairs; or enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner on the open deck furnished with an outdoor table, four chairs, and umbrella. Best of all, enjoy dessert under the stars, soaking your cares away, in the 4-person hot tub situated on the main entry flagstone patio, bordered by solar powered evening accent lights.

Do beware of visitors, though - it's not uncommon to see some of our local deer and black bear families, wild turkeys, busy little chipmunks, chattering squirrels, and a variety of songbirds. You may also catch sight of a box turtle or some of our salamanders and 5-lined skinks. During the day, you'll hear the choruses of songbirds, and the occasional call of a red-tail hawk. At night, you may be fortunate enough to hear the nearby 'hoot' of owls, see a raccoon, opossum, or flying squirrels. And, if you're really lucky, you may even glimpse sight of a bobcat.

There are two grocery stores within 7 miles of the Cabin: Food Lion (5.0 miles, here in Fairview) and Ingles (7.2 miles, at the bottom of Minehole Gap, in the Reynolds District). There is a CVS store off of I-240 at River Ridge, and if you wish, you can travel west on I-40 to Highway 25 (Hendersonville Road), or south on the Blue Ridge Parkway, where you'll find Publix, a more 'modern' Ingles, Fresh Market, Starbucks, as well as a variety of local restaurants (Tupelo Honey, Farm Burger, Asheville Pizza and Brewery (take-out only), 12 Bones Smokehouse, Apollo Flame ... oh, and don't overlook The Local Joint, Whistle Hop, and Turgua Brewery right here in Fairview.).

A few cautionary notes:
We are occasionally visited by coyotes, and the WNC mountains are home to a few species of venomous snakes (Copperheads and Rattlers) so if you happen upon one, be sure to steer clear, giving them a wide berth. And, while wondrous to see, our neighboring black bears can be dangerous if traveling through with cubs or caught unaware.
Feel free to enjoy cool evenings out by the fire-pit. Do note, however, that during extremely dry conditions, use of the fire-pit may not be possible due to local Buncombe County 'burn bans' - we will do our best to notify you of these conditions, but please also check with Host to confirm that the fire-pit can be used during your stay. As outlined in the House Rules - no ashes from any of the fire apparatuses are to be dumped outside (fireplace, fire-pit, and grill) - The Host will dispose of any ashes after your departure.

Perfect Little Hideaway

The cabin and surrounding setting were picturesque. The wifi allowed us two of us to stream virtual workshops simultaneously. The kitchen was fully stocked. The hot tub was relaxing. The bed was comfortable. The hosts were flexible and kind. . . and the banana bread was AMAZING. It was just what two moms who needed a weekend to work and rejuvenate needed!

Great cabin in the mountains

The cabin was just what we were looking for as we visited the Ashville area. Very private but close enough to see the area attractions. We spent three days there and the cabin was ver well provisioning and we enjoyed the extra touches.

Amazing cabin and great hosts!

Log Gap Cabin is the perfect getaway. Quiet and secluded but still close enough to downtown. 4WD/AWD is needed to get to the cabin, but for us, that only added to the appeal. The cabin was comfortable and clean with great views. We really enjoyed the mountain views during the day and stargazing in the hot tub at night. Kyle and Julie were great hosts. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Highly recommend!

Absolutely perfect!!!

This place was incredibly done with attention to every detail! We had the best time. Beautiful views and adorable place. Super cozy and clean. Hot tub had a great view of the beautiful sky and look forward to staying again! The fire place was the best bonus. The only minor issue was with the hot tub only would do one round of bubbles.. then wouldn’t let us cut back on. Might have been a setting not sure? But beautiful place

Wonderful Return Trip!

We were thankful to return to Log Gap Cabin again this year. Everything was perfect -- the well-stocked kitchen, wood-burning fireplace with firewood, cozy couch, comfortable bed, nicely appointed bathroom, all held together in a historic log cabin that has been lovingly restored and nestled in the woods. This is one of our favorite places; the quiet and solitude is unmatched, and yet Asheville and nearby hiking is easily accessible. We hope to return again next year to rest and recharge!

Wonderful Secluded Getaway With All Amenities!

My wife and I enjoyed an anniversary getaway at Log Gap Cabin. We came for all of the listed amenities, and we were not disappointed. However, it's the little details that really make this place shine: The kitchen is fully stocked with every piece of cookware, utensils, and small appliances that you'd ever need. It's like Kyle and Julie anticipated every need. The filtered well water was amazing, and who knew how wonderful an ice maker would be on vacation?!? The hot tub, grill, deck, and umbrella exterior seating areas are perfect. (The bench for the hot tub cover is *chefs kiss* ... something I never knew I needed.) I didn't get to use the grill, but every utensil is covered -- of course. We got a lot of use out of the rockers and small dining table in the screened-in porch. In a world where mountain cabins have window units for HVAC, the two mini-splits in this cabin are truly luxurious. We didn't get to use the fire pit or fireplace, but can't wait to come back when it's colder. The cabin is close to everything (only 25 minutes from downtown) but is definitely a destination in itself. Note to future visitors --- the 4WD/AWD requirement is real, but doesn't imply off-roading. Our AWD SUV handled things easily, but it's not something you want to try in a 2WD sedan or pickup. The seclusion is totally worth the extra effort to get there!

Quiet Rest + Relax

This was exactly what my husband and I needed to rest, relax and rejuvenate. The hosts pay attention to detail: from communication, to providing very specific details, directions and information; and from personal touches to great amenities and comfort. We loved our time! The cabin was beautiful and comfortable for us! A few things I'd offer (which just reiterate the owner's information!): - A 4WD or AWD is an absolute must--you won't get to the cabin in a sedan. I'd recommend getting there in daylight if you aren't comfortable driving in gravel / switchbacks. - This is a great couples getaway--fire pit, hot tub, so relaxing. - This is a bit farther from DT Asheville (20-25 min), but accessible great options in little towns, hiking, breweries and outdoor activities. Grocery store, etc. We loved the location. - Can't say enough about the little touches and communication from the owners. Perfection! Thanks for sharing your beautiful mountain cabin with us--you made our anniversary trip really amazing!

Amazing getaway

We booked this cabin due to it being far enough from the city to enjoy the peace and quiet, yet close enough to enjoy many of Asheville’s major attractions. We found the cabin easily and enjoyed the nice gift left by the property owners. The cabin is beautifully decorated and has a few personal touches. The kitchen came stocked with pots and pans which were much appreciated since we enjoy cooking breakfast each morning. The hot tub was a dream and much needed from the miles of walking we did everyday. This property was the perfect size for our small growing family, and if we ever find ourselves traveling to Asheville again we will absolutely consider staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kyle

Host profile image
Half of our family is mountain-bred, the other half 'water'-bred, thus we're a family with two loves: the beaches of Florida's Panhandle (Laguna Beach) and the Appalachian/Blue Ridge Mountains. After living in Florida for most of our lives, we decided to leave Tallahassee 24 years ago and relocate to the Asheville area (Fairview). We were seeking a less hectic lifestyle - a more rural setting in which to raise our son, who was then 10 years old. We found that place here in Fairview, on just under 6 acres on Flat Top Mountain.

We have truly 'lived' here - we work from home and our immediate neighbors are black bears, deer, turkeys, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, bobcats, songbirds, butterflies, owls, hawks, box turtles, and the occasional coyote. We're lovers of nature who enjoy the undeniable sense of peace and tranquility that the mountain offers, it centers and grounds us. We're dedicated pet owners - we've had a horse, pet rats, both fresh and saltwater fish, amphibians, and numerous fur-babies. We currently have a Koi pond, an indoor 'pond' with our Floridian transplanted Yellow-eared Slider turtle and his fish buddy, 2 German Shepherds, and 2 B&W Tuxedo cats (litter-mate brothers). In 2012, our human family expanded when our son married after graduating from college and, in 2017, it grew again, with the birth of our first grandchild (who is the true joy in all of our lives).

Why they chose this property

Ours is a family business (residential construction and office administration/accounting) and we're excited to have branched out with the incorporation of 'rental' properties. To that end, when the Log Gap Cabin property became available for purchase, we were thrilled with the potential of purchasing the property, for many reasons: -We knew the original owner of the cabin well and observed it being built, -The cabin and its property abuts our own so we are intimately familiar with it, and -We believed it would be the perfect property for our first rental venture.

We look forward to the opportunity of sharing the Cabin and its surrounds with you. We hope that you'll enjoy the Cabin as much as we enjoy our neighboring home and, if you do, we'd love to have you return any time!

What makes this property unique

Log Gap Cabin is located at the end of a single-lane, privately maintained, gravel mountain road. It's a peaceful, tranquil, and natural setting, yet still affords the conveniences to which we're all now accustomed. There are a few options for hiking right here at the Cabin - a short hike up the right-of-way behind the cabin will lead to a beautiful, privately owned meadow (please leave do not linger and be sure to leave no trace if you choose to enjoy this hike); you can also hike Log Gap Road and/or neighboring Rocky Fork Road (which borders the bold Rocky Fork stream).

The Cabin is located near so many of the points of interest in Western North Carolina that you'll have difficulty in choosing what to do and where to go while you're visiting (all the more reason to come back again and again - a different adventure every time!). We feature some of those locations and activities in our 'Welcome' book, and a 'Google search' will provide numerous others for consideration.

Whether you're a new visitor to our area, a repeat visitor, or maybe just a local who's looking for that perfect place to 'stay-cation', Log Gap Cabin offers the best of both worlds! It's truly both a place to come to just relax and rejuvenate yourself -and- a great place to unwind after days spent exploring all that that Western North Carolina has to offer!
