We came up for the Bigfoot festival in Marion. This house was absolutely awesome! We were blown away when we came in and saw the property in the view. Then we walked inside. Just absolutely beautiful. We came up with another couple and we each had our own space. Everything we needed for dinner was there. We spent as much time sitting on the back deck, staring at the view! No issues whatsoever. We had such a relaxing stay and I would recommend this property to anyone!

The cabin was perfect. The view while sitting on the deck chatting with friends was just as amazing as it looks in the photos. Quick and easy travel to Black Mountain and Asheville. This trip was a do-over from a trip planned for the same time last year when Hurricane Helene did such horrific damage. Contact was initiated by the cabin owner in 2024 asking if I would like to cancel my reservation because although their cabin had no damage, so much of the surrounding area was devastated. I certainly didn't expect the cabin owner to reach out to me about canceling the reservation and refunding my fees, but that's exactly what happened. Hence when we rescheduled our trip, I immediately booked the same cabin. As an aside, I know from my 2024 plans, that although their cabin wasn't damaged, surrounding neighbors were in need and they did all they could to help others in the area post Helene. Wonderful cabin! Wonderful cabin owners!

One of the most beautiful places we have stayed

We loved eating outside while watching the mountains and waking up to the incredible view. Property was clean with clear directions for access. Some amazing wildlife around - we saw a bear crossing the street on the way up!

It is so important to us that you have a wonderful experience while staying with us. We can provide custom information to help make your visit the best it can be. We stay engaged with the people that visit our mountain home and have several families that were repeat renters but now have fallen in love with the mountains and have purchased property here. at Gateway Mountain. We are always upgrading and maintaining our property and have another home on within walking distance from our new addition that that we have shared with so many. ( VRBO 230650 see our stellar reviews), and are able to provide the same level of service at our new home that so many have enjoyed. Our two properties are very well maintained and very clean just as we would expect if we were staying at your home. We hope to have you as our guest at our new mountain home "Miller High Life".

Why they chose this property

We are only 10 minutes off of I-40, just East of Asheville. Black Mountain is about 15 to 20 minutes away with a huge Ingles grocery store so you can pick up anything you need.
