About this property

Mountain Views, Fire Pit, Minutes From Downtown Asheville

This lovely new 3 bedroom 2 bath home is located MINUTES from The Biltmore Estate, Asheville Outlets, Blue Ridge Parkway, Bent Creek and Downtown, but still has the feeling of a private wooded environment . Enjoy the view of the mountains with a horse farm in the backdrop and the occasional family of deer crossing the path, while sipping your coffee on the covered porch in the pristine forest location. Nicely appointed home features comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, wi-fi and 55” tv. If you an outdoor enthusiast, you will love the hiking, mountain biking, road biking, kayaking, white water rafting, snow skiing and horseback riding just minutes from the cabin. Asheville has a strong tradition of street performance and outdoor music, including festivals, such as Bele Chere and the Lexington Avenue Arts & Fun Festival (LAAFF). One event is "Shindig on the Green," which happens Saturday nights during July and August on City/County Plaza. By tradition, the Shindig starts "along about sundown" and features local bluegrass bands and dance teams on stage, and informal jam sessions under the trees surrounding the County Courthouse. The "Mountain Dance & Folk Festival" started in 1928 by Bascom Lamar Lunsford is said to be the first event ever labeled a "Folk Festival". Another popular outdoor music event is "Downtown After 5," a monthly concert series held from 5 pm till 9 pm that hosts popular touring musicians as well as local acts. A regular drum circle, organized by residents in Pritchard Park, is open to all and has been a popular local activity every Friday evening.

Perfect spot for views and location

Very nice very clean

We found the location to be almost perfect. The cabin was extremely nice. The only problem is the kitchen could be better equipped with more dishes, glasses, cups utensils, pots and pans. Also the kitchen was somewhat dark needs more lighting

Spring Break Getaway

We had a great stay at Hickory Haven! The house was clean and provided plenty of room to relax. We enjoyed a morning cup of coffee on the front porch while taking in the view of the mountains and listening to the birds. In the evening, we ended our day with a soak in the hot tub. It was a great location to be a tourist, but also relax away from it all. We would definitely recommend and hope to visit again!

The house is wonderful safe clean, the only change, when traveling with an older individual, it would be nice for a taller facility in bathroom. Also, more water pressure would be nice but I would stay here again. This was our second visit.

It was a quiet place.

Love having the deer every day coming by. Only small things that I say could improve was shower pressure and having some help with working the remotes, bed a bit noise when rolling over or getting in & out. Other then that it was a nice place to stay.

Definite return

Property was clean and comfortable. Great place to relax. Right on the river with plenty of wildlife and far away enough from neighbors that you feel like you’re in your own space. Nice fire pit that got used plenty. The wrap around porch is a very nice touch. House was well stocked. Kids really got a kick out of the loft area. Cozy and comfortable property. Will definitely save as a place to return to next time in the area.

Very nice stay

The owner Sherry was so nice to communicate with. We stayed about three levels up the mountain, not as advertized right behind the horse barn, but, still a great view. Outside was real nice, plenty of room to park, hot tub was maintained and up to date. Porch was nice and clean, outside firepit in back was a very nice touch. Inside was very good exept for the bed, master bedroom bed was terrible. So no good nights rest to lay down. Glad we went, but happy to go home to rest.

Although the property appeared to be relatively new, every faucet and door, squeaks. The furnishings were OK, but the overall feel of the place was lacking.

We loved the location it was close to Asheville and had beautiful views. We loved seeing the horses every morning and hearing them. We cooked every night and found the kitchen well equipped. The hot tub was perfect and the cabin was spacious enough for my husband and I and our two children. Being dog friendly was a huge plus. We even saw 10-20 deer almost daily and was an added bonus. Very happy overall and would stay here again.

Beautiful Views

The views from our cabin were beautiful. It was peaceful and serene. I loved the morning visits from the deer family and would sit on the porch every morning with my hot chocolate and wait for them. The property was clean and my friends and I had plenty of space. We really enjoyed the smores welcome gift. The beds were very comfortable. We didn't use the hot tub but looked at it and it was very clean and, by the smell, very well chlorinated. We didn't use it but the cabin does have a grill in the backyard but it is very small and has no lid. It's one of the little ones you would see at a park when you rent a pavilion. It's big enough to cook a few burgers and hot dogs on. If you are grilling for a larger family, it will take a while. My only complaint about the property is the showers. The shower in the shared bathroom is very narrow and the shower curtain would stick to you. The drain is on the left side in the center and we get stepping on it which wasn't fun. The bathroom is large enough that a wider tub/shower could have been installed. The shower in the main bedroom was much wider and nicer. The biggest complaint was from the shower heads. They are placed very close to the ceiling and due to this the water pressure isn't great for rinsing your hair and body. It also appeared that there were parental controls on the television. My party was 3 adults and we could not watch a rated R movie. I'm not sure if the owners put the parental control on or if a previous guest did. I did send a message to ask the owner but I did not receive a response. It wasn't that big of a deal and by no means effected our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would consider staying again. There are 5 cabins in the area and would be great for a stay with extended family because each family could have their own cabin but be close enough to interact easily.

Beautiful Cabin on the Mountain Side

The cabin was very clean. It is very spacious and kitchen is fully equipped. Your less than 30 min away from Asheville and all the restaurants and breweries. Another important note is all the hiking is close to cabin as well.

Great Cabin

Stayed with my family of 5. Very clean and comfortable and large enough for all of us. The outdoor environment is peaceful and relaxing surrounded by nature. The hot tub was definitely an added bonus. Sherry was quick to answer any questions I had and provided us with very helpful info about the surrounding area and fun things to do.
