About this property

Rustic Cabin, Appalachian Elegance, Rural But Close

As of May 23, 2020, my cabin is available for rent. I will follow CDC guidelines on cleaning, using an EPA-approved disinfectant for COVID-19 between customers. Thank you, George Stanley.

Appalachia at its best. A mountain cabin re-created within the basement (first floor, ground level) of my home for your pleasure. Private entrance(s), covered deck/patio, open deck, great view, very private setting.

The location has an East-West orientation, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Great place to sit, relax, and enjoy your favorite beverage.

The cabin is fully self contained. It has its own kitchen, bath with shower (no tub), and a small living/dining area. One bedroom with a king size bed.

Centrally located between I-40 and I-26, on Busbee Mountain, the property borders the Biltmore Estate and blends in with the Blue Ridge Parkway at an elevation of 3,346 feet. To get a real glimpse of the property, go to https://youtu.be/gd66YZ9MEsE

Well behaved pets are more than welcome!

Easy booking online or with the owner using check or credit cards.

A mountain gem!

This was a perfect weekend getaway for me and my dog. George was very responsive and his instructions on how the get to the property and check in were clear. The cabin has a gorgeous view of the mountains, with a massive patio along with windows in the cabin to see the view, even from the bed. The kitchen was nicely stocked and there’s a gas bbq on the patio. The bed was comfortable and there’s plenty of fans, heaters and a window unit AC for extra cooling if needed. The location is far enough to feel unplugged but close enough to be in the city of Asheville in 15 minutes. The road to George’s property is steep but completely paved and the road is completely cleared from any debris. I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a mountain getaway!

A perfect cabin above the clouds

This is a perfect rustic cabin for two. George was very helpful and suggested a great park for us. A beautiful view was the reward for the steep drive.

Stay for the view!

This is a wonderful, rustic little place with the most amazing sunrise view! I personally loved the drive to the mountain top. The bonus is the abundant wildlife around the property including a momma bear and her 3 cubs. George is a very kind and gracious host. Will definitely stay here again when in the area!

George's home is in a magical place and the "cabin" (lower floor) is very well outfitted. Wonderful place to spend a few days! And George is such a kind host. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Mountain Getaway

My partner and I were exploring Asheville for the first time with our pup. George's cabin in the woods was the perfect mountain getaway. The cabin was adorable and was supplied with everything we needed. Would definitely recommend staying here for anyone checking out Asheville!

About the host

Hosted by George Stanley

Host profile image
I am retired. I enjoy my cat, Olly.

I retired from the Community College System and enjoy meeting people, thus the rental.

I enjoy traveling and finding neat places. I hope I have created one here.

Why they chose this property

I had a half -finished basement when I purchased the home, which I separated from the house upstairs. I envisioned a downstairs cabin so others could enjoy the beautiful mountains as I do.

What makes this property unique

Living on a rural mountain and bordering the Biltmore Estate Property, there is an abundance of wildlife - turkey, deer, pheasants, bear, raccoons, generally all sorts of wildlife. I have pictures of bear in the yard and in close-by trees.
At an elevation of 3,346 feet, the cabin overlooks a huge valley. The valley is often filled with fog, creating a beautiful sunrise at eye-level.
