About this property

Luxurious Mountain Retreat with Amazing Views

Our beautiful mountain home is being opened to you and your family, and is ideal for a 2 family vacation.

The home is luxuriously furnished as a second home and was custom built within the last 10-12 years. You and your family will fall in love with the spectacular mountain view on our extensive back porch decking. Well above the lights, you are sure to enjoy the awesome cool night skies and incredible sunsets across the mountains.

The view from the back of the house faces Mount Mitchell and the Blue Ridge Mountain Range, and all the rooms in the house have large windows to capture this incredible view. The deck extends the full length of the house and boasts 180 degrees of long-range mountain views.

With our busy schedules we decided to open the home to you and your friends, so that others could enjoy the spectacular views that we've shared of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Incredible Weekend Vacation

Mr. Hyman's property was beautiful and comfortable. My friends and I had a great time taking in the view and lounging at the house, and the location made getting to Lake Lure and Asheville a breeze. Mr. Hyman was communicative and extremely helpful in the lead up to our visit and when we had a problem arise during check-in. Definitely a great place to stay in the high country for large groups!

Amazing views

Eight of us stayed at this property for a long weekend of golf. We had plenty of beds and bathrooms to accommodate our needs. The views are absolutely amazing. Be ready for the drive up the hill as it can be rough in places but well worth it once you reach the property. Would stay there again without hesitation. Owner was great to work with.

A Spectacular Cabin and Location!

What a amazing get away! Our quilt group had a long weekend retreat here and it was simply fantastic. The cabin and views are absolutely magical. Hayes is a wonderful home owner! The cabin had every possibly thing needed. I've never seen a kitchen better supplied. We love, love, LOVED our stay at Carolina Heaven and can't wait to return.

Mountain Top

My Husband rented this cabin to celebrate my 50th birthday with 6 of my closest friends. The drive to the top of the mountain was quite the adventure and when we got to the top the view just took my breath away. The cabin was perfect. Each couple had their own bedroom and own bathroom plus there were two extra bathrooms. The kitchen was better equipped than my own at home. I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our stay and we were all talking about coming back again.

Just go

I cant tell you how awesome this place is. I went there with 5 friends to celebrate my birthday. We stopped in chimney rock on the way there and on the way home. The rest of the time was spent at this paradise on the mountain top. BTW- we only left to get supplies at Ingles. It had everything you could ask for. I highly recommend Carolina Heaven. We would love to come back. Thank you, Hayes!
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar, 2020
You are very Welcome, Justin. Happy Birthday! I'm glad you and your friends had a great time. I have come here with a few of my buddies on mountain golf trips many times, and it's always a great time. If you think the view was good during the winter, you ought to see it in the spring, summer and fall!!

Beautiful Cabin in the Mountains

This was a fantastic experience! The cabin is so homey and BEAUTIFUL! Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets over the trees and mountains. You can see the stars at night. The owners thought of everything and communicated so well throughout! They were generous with kitchen supplies, their grill, spices, towels, quilts, seating, etc. The three levels worked out perfectly for us. There was so much space for all 12 of us to be together on both the second and bottom floor. The pool table was a nice touch for those who wanted to play and talk while others watched tv. Would stay here again (this was the 2nd stay for a handful of my friends) and we'd highly recommend it!!

Carolina Heaven is the perfect name

Our group included me, my wife and 16 yr old son, my wife’s parents, her sister and her husband and two 17 yr old sons. We stayed for Thanksgiving weekend. This gorgeous cabin sits atop Young’s Mountain and had us continuously saying “I can’t get over that view” and just enjoying it the whole time. The cabin was plenty big enough for our group of nine and had everything we needed for a Thanksgiving dinner, plus a pool table, plenty of games and more than enough seating. All the furniture was very comfortable and there are fireplaces on both the main and lower floors. The backside of the cabin is all windows and has a huge wraparound deck to enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains. Our family has had this same Thanksgiving get together for the past several years now and this cabin is by far our favorite!

Wonderful mountain hideaway/getaway!

This mountaintop cabin is a treasure, once you get to it: clean, well thought out, lots of entertainment options, and spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Getting to it is an adventure, given that the gravel road up is narrow and steep with multiple hairpin switchbacks. Anticipating that, we tried to bring all the groceries and supplies we thought we'd need for our three night stay so we wouldn't have to leave once we got to the top. Still, we ended up making a run to Ingles when we discovered we were missing some key ingredients. Hayes is a generous and accommodating host, quick to respond to queries. His spice cabinet was well-stocked and available for use, there was a good selection of cookery and crockery, common area seating was plentiful, and the beds were comfortable and warm on cold, stormy nights. We enjoyed our stay at Carolina Heaven and look forward to returning when the spirits move us back in that direction.

Fantastic Mountain Views

The Carolina Heaven cabin was beyond perfect. The views were amazing and the cabin was just beautiful. The bedrooms were comfy. Loved that we did not have to bring any eating utensils/pots/pans. The cabin is fully stocked with everything you need other than food/drinks of course. The local grocery store "Ingles" is close by and I was pleasantly surprised how big the store was. For a small town store the prices were not high at all. The drive up was a little nerve racking. Definitely need a front wheel drive vehicle to make it up. Overall everyone in my family enjoyed it and we plan on going back next year.

Great cabin with amazing views

This is a pretty nice cabin in the mountains, but dang, that view is incredible. We spent quite a bit of unplanned time just sitting out on the back deck taking in the gorgeous mountain views and the incredible night sky. The road up is pretty steep in a spot or two and would definitely recommend AWD/4WD. We are already looking to come back next year.

Spectacular!

Our family stay at Carolina Heaven was amazing. Traveling up the mountain to get to the property is not for the faint of heart, but worth the effort! Once we arrived, a sigh of relief and a walk around the porch to take in the spectacular views. Stunning. The cabin was very comfortable for our family gathering. With the kitchen well appointed, comfy bedrooms and large windows to experience the views from the grand room were incredible. We did one day trip off the mountain to visit Lake Lure which also had beautiful landscape with mountains around. Be sure to take your trash when you leave because there is no trash service at the property. A small inconvenience. Their cleaning service will remove one bag. There was also a massive fireplace that we would have used, but just didn’t get an opportunity. A pool table was on the lower level, a nice add, but also did not use.

Unbeatable view

My family spent a week in this cabin and I have to say this is the best cabin we have ever rented. The view is about as good as it gets and the cabin is spacious and clean. My family really enjoyed the pool table, ping pong table and dart board. Just be aware that it is a good 35-40 minute drive to the grocery store and restaurants but that was not a major issue for us. The Ingles grocery store has everything you need. The Highlands Kitchen and Lake House restaurants were our 2 favorites. If you are looking to rent a boat or do any water sports, Lake Lure Adventure Co was great, I highly recommend using them. We rented a pontoon boat for half a day and had a blast. The drive up the road to the cabin is not as scary as some of the other reviews made it out to be. It was actually pretty fun. Of course having all wheel drive made it easier. We saw a black bear standing in the middle of the road one evening while we were driving up the cabin and that was very exciting for us. We also saw a rattlesnake near the front porch which was also exciting but a little scary at the same time. I would love to stay here when it’s a little cooler to enjoy the fireplaces. It was 90 plus degrees during our week. Also be aware that there are only 2 tv’s in the cabin. One in the master bedroom and one downstairs in the game room/family room. We felt that a tv in the great room on the main level would have been nice but that’s just our personal preference. We brought our smart tv from home for the downstairs bedroom since my son has to have a tv on when he sleeps and it worked out fine. The wifi always worked well for us. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway to spend quality time with family or friends, you should definitely book this cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Hayes Hyman

Host profile image
I grew up vacationing in the NC mountains. I built this home to share my love of the mountains and nature with my children. From the coast to the mountains, and everything in between, NC has so much to offer. We built this house on the best lot I could find at the top of a mountain, and the primary purpose was to create the most incredible views of the mountains for the best porch-sitting ever. And then we furnished it as a true second home with the finest mountain decor. We hope you enjoy the sights and sounds of the mountains as much as we do in our lovely home!

Why they chose this property

We had this home built as a second home because we love the mountains and the view. Day trips to the Biltmore House are always a big hit. The quaint mountain shops offer unique shopping experiences, and we love the awesome mountain golf courses nearby. This home is perched at the top of a mountain in a secluded location with incredible long range views, but yet it offers all the charming mountain decor and amenities required by our family. This location allows us to have a secluded luxurious home on the top of a mountain, yet all within a 30 minute drive from the golf courses, restaurants, grocery stores, shops, lake activities and much more. It's the perfect location.

What makes this property unique

You can enjoy the spectacular mountain view from every room in the house. The secluded location provides a tranquil privacy. You'll love the sounds and views of the mountains. Located at the top of a mountain, you are well above the city lights and far enough from the town to enjoy the secluded privacy, yet close enough to go shopping or enjoy day trips to places like the Biltmore House in Asheville or historic Black Mountain. We invite you to bring your friends along and enjoy a fun filled night in the family room while watching movies on the 'big screen' TV, playing games, or a challenging game of billiards or ping-pong.
