Mountain View Cabin @ 4300' / HotTub / Game Room / Near Asheville & Johnson City

Welcome to **Mars Hill Haven**, your private mountain retreat at **4,300 feet**, where breathtaking long-range views, peaceful mornings, and unforgettable sunsets await. Whether you're soaking in the private hot tub after a day on the slopes, gathering around the fireplace with family, or challenging each other in the game room, this cabin was designed for making memories.

Unlike most mountain cabins, **every adult bedroom features a king-size bed**, so no one has to settle for the "small room." Families especially love having **three true king bedrooms** plus a separate bunk room for kids, giving everyone room to spread out and enjoy their stay.

One of our guests' favorite experiences is simply slowing down and taking in the views. Start your morning with a cup of coffee while the mountains wake up around you, then end the day watching spectacular sunsets from the deck, rocking chairs, or the hot tub. It's the perfect place to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with the people you're traveling with.

## A Day at Mars Hill Haven

Wake up to crisp mountain air and enjoy coffee on the deck while taking in the breathtaking views. Spend the day skiing at Hatley Pointe, hiking nearby trails, exploring Asheville, mountain biking, rafting, or simply relaxing at the cabin. Return home to prepare dinner in the fully equipped kitchen, unwind in the hot tub as the sun sets over the mountains, then finish the evening around the fireplace or enjoying a friendly game of pool. It's the kind of vacation that leaves everyone wishing they had booked one more night.

Awesome Stay

The house had everything you could want in a vacation rental. Amazing views, house had everything that we needed ready to go, and plenty of space for our large group. Communication leading up to the visit was spot on and easy. Readily available to answer questions as needed. Our son found a new favorite board game that we all played and subsequently bought one to now have at home. Thanks for hosting us!

The best weekend!

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. The home was beautifully decorated and provided everything we needed for our weekend getaway. The hot tub was a huge hit and the dining table was perfect for game nights. Our visit to Hatley Pointe ski resort was unmatched. Such a wonderful experience and it was just a short drive away. We will definitely be returning!

Great stay for a long weekend, cabin is well-supplied with entertainment options and kitchen equipment, HVAC cools well on all 3 floors (we visited during a heat wave, if you can call it that at 4300ft altitude), and comfortable furniture, including rockers on the deck for the amazing views! Big Bald is clearly visible on the Tennessee border 3.1 miles away as the crow flies - bring binoculars! The only downside that will keep us from returning, but may be an upside for some, is the master bedroom mattress, which is quite firm. The only other tiny nitpick was not having an EV charger or outlet on front porch for charging, but there are Tesla Superchargers in Asheville and 2 Chargepoint Level 2 chargers in Burnsville (highly recommended to visit the shops and restaurants there).All in all, highly recommended for a summer retreat!

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Jun, 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the cooler mountain temperatures, the views, and all the amenities the cabin has to offer. Big Bald is definitely one of our favorite sights as well, and bringing binoculars is a great tip for future guests! We appreciate your feedback on the mattress. Mattresses can be one of those things that are very personal, what’s perfect for one guest may not be for another. We’ve actually had several guests enjoy it so much that they’ve reached out afterward asking for the brand and model, but we completely understand that comfort preferences vary. We also appreciate the suggestion regarding EV charging. As more guests travel with electric vehicles, it’s something we’re considering for the future. Thanks again for choosing Mars Hill Haven for your mountain getaway and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback.

Picturesque Mountain Home, Fully Equipped and Close to Adventure!

We had a wonderful stay at the house. It is well equipped, beautiful and in a picturesque location. My boys loved the downstairs kids bunk room and game room. The hot tub was so nice on the chilly fall nights. We explored the local area - quaint small towns, went fishing, hiking, shopping, out to eat, scenic drives and just relaxed. All of the furnishings were comfortable and well taken care of. We played board games and did puzzles on the large dining room table, enjoyed our morning coffee on the large back porch surrounded by mountain views. Overall we had a wonderful weekend away at Mars Hill Haven and would absolutely recommend it to those considering a future visit!

The cabin was wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay. The downstairs area was so fun with the camp themed room. My grandchildren had so much fun. The view off the deck was gorgeous and we enjoyed the leaves while they were at their peak. At the top of the hill of the road was one of the most beautiful sunset views I have seen over the mountain. We will definitely be back.Angela

What an amazing property! Spectacular views , squeaky clean bedrooms and bathrooms, plenty space for the entire gang ( we were 10 people , 5 adults and 5 kids/teenagers), everyone had enjoyed the well chosen amenities ( pool table, games , hot tub) . Plenty bunnies and birds sighted around the cabin, great neighbors as well!Chris and Wendy were extremely responsive when we message them as one of the fireplace had the gas pilot switched off. Looking forward to book it again sometime in the near future

A comfortable, well-equipped stay with great hosts, beautiful views, and fun amenities for the whole family.

Our entire stay was very comfortable and relaxing. The hosts were amazing and took care of every detail. They answered calls, texts, and messages promptly. The pantries were well-stocked, and the bathrooms had all the amenities we needed. The bathtub was clean, easy to use, and perfect for a relaxing evening while enjoying the view. Both grills were in working condition, and we loved grilling while taking in the night view. Both decks had plenty of space to sit, relax, and enjoy the view. The entire family could be out on the deck, and it still didn’t feel crowded. Asheville was easily accessible—we visited the Arts District and several breweries. The basement/lower level was the highlight of our stay. We spent most of our time at the pool table, while my son enjoyed the hot tub. We also had a great time with the digital infinite game table, which offered a wide variety of games. The upper-level bedrooms were clean, cozy, and comfortable. The view from the hallway was also incredible. The bunk beds were spacious enough for adults and easy to climb. Each bed had its own night light. The bathrooms were clean, and there was plenty of hot water. Everything in the home was new and spotless. There was plenty of parking, and the neighborhood was quiet.

About the host

Host profile image
Welcome to Mars Hill Haven! We’re Chris and Wendy—along with our two kids and our Mini Goldendoodle—and we’re so excited to share our cozy mountain retreat with you.

The mountains have always meant something special to us. Growing up, I spent weekends at my grandparents’ cabin here, and those memories became the heartbeat of this home. When their cabin was sold, I dreamed of creating a place where my own family—and now yours—could experience that same mountain magic.

Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, Mars Hill Haven is designed with comfort and adventure in mind. Each of our three king bedrooms has a unique theme—skiing, hiking, and canoeing—bringing the mountain spirit indoors. The bunk room is perfect for kids or the young-at-heart, and the open living space features plush leather seating, a fireplace, and big windows with stunning views.

Step outside to enjoy morning coffee on the deck, soak in the hot tub under the stars, or challenge your crew to a game night with our premium shuffleboard and arcade games. Whether you're hitting the slopes at nearby Hatley Pointe, hiking the Appalachian Trail, or just enjoying a relaxing getaway, this home is the perfect base camp.

We’ve poured our hearts into making Mars Hill Haven warm, inviting, and filled with thoughtful touches. If you’re looking for local tips or hidden gems, just reach out—we’d love to help you make the most of your stay.

Come enjoy the peace, beauty, and adventure of the mountains. We can't wait to host you!
