Welcome to your own slice of heaven just 15 minutes from the vibrant energy of downtown Asheville. Tucked into the rolling hills and forested edges of Newfound Creek, this thoughtfully renovated home offers a rare blend of refined comfort, natural serenity, and hospitality. Remodeled by hand and heart, every fixture and design choice was made with intention so you and your people can feel grounded, connected, and at home.
This home is deeply personal to us. We (Ryan and Maggie) poured our hands and hearts into bringing it back to life, and the land it sits on has become one of our favorite places to spend time. We created this space as a place to reset, to laugh, to gather, and to feel a little more human again. And while it means the world to us, we’re most excited to share it with you. Whether you're gathering around the firepit under a canopy of stars, soaking in the hot tub with a view of the valley, or cooking something special in the spacious kitchen, we hope it energizes you the same way it does for us.
This thoughtfully renovated 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home with an airy loft sleeps up to 14 guests in beds (up to 18 with couches and air mattresses). Perfect for group getaways, retreats, or multi-family trips, the home has a cabin-like charm with elegant finishes, natural materials, and wide-open communal spaces built for memory-making.
Highlights include:
A stunning chef’s kitchen with a large island and double ovens, ideal for group cooking and gathering.
Cozy dining and living areas flooded with natural light.
A basement-level lounge/game room with pool, ping pong, and board games for hours of fun.
A full laundry suite, perfect for longer stays or active adventures.
2 outdoor fire pits: one nestled on the creekside, the other perfect for the front yard hangs under string lights.
A private hot tub with views of the forest and the consistent flow of Newfound Creek.
A small dog run and lots of space to roam and play.
All bedrooms include king or queen beds with plush linens and plenty of room to unwind. The loft is a tucked-away retreat perfect for kids, teens, or additional guests.
Outdoors, the 9-acre property is bordered by Newfound Creek and includes a lively pond, picnic areas, a cozy gazebo perfect for morning coffee or evening chats, and direct access to nature. Trails, mountain views, and wineries are just a short drive away, and the sweet town of Weaverville is only 20 minutes up the road.

Maggie was very welcoming, helpful and prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had. We had 8 girls stay at this ADORABLE cabin for a bachelorette weekend and it was the perfect place for us! Very clean, cozy, and aesthetically pleasing for us girls! The kitchen was awesome… big and open! And we had plenty of room for all of us girls to hang out together:) would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Thank you so much for this sweet review! It was such a joy hosting your group for such a special weekend. We love when the cabin gets to be the backdrop for celebrations like that. We hope to host your crew again one day!
This is a great space for friends and family to gather, enjoy short walks along the creek, and unwind by the fire pit or in the hot tub or having a few beers and playing pool. Its close enough to Ashevile to enjoy all it has to offer while getting a little taste of the mountain vibe at the end of a gravel road. Human and dog approved!

Thank you so much, Heather! We’re thrilled to hear the home was the perfect place for your group to relax, unwind, and enjoy a little of everything. We are also always pumped when it's both Human and Pup approved. We'd love to host you again anytime.
This place was perfect for my bachelorette weekend! We wanted a mix of chill and fun, and this place provided that. It was spacious, gorgeous, and comfy! It’s 15-20 mins from everything and definitely some windy roads, but that comes with gorgeous views. Maggie was very responsive and accommodating! There is nothing I would change about this stay and it truly helped make my special weekend unforgettable. I would come here again no doubt!

What an absolute joy to read this, thank you so much! We’re thrilled the home was the perfect setting for your bachelorette weekend. The views and the comfort are all things we love about it too. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
This house is a hidden gem. The location was perfect. For us, coming from a suburban area, this was just the right distance away from town. It was only a short drive to the grocery store, coffee shops, etc. Yet, the ambience around this home made us feel like we were tucked away in the peace and calm of the mountains. The creek running along the back was both relaxing for the adults to view and exciting for the kids to explore. Most vacation rentals we have stayed at have the basics, not much more. This home was well stocked and very thoughtfully set up. Everything from a record player, the softest sheets and very comfortable beds in all the rooms, to the slow cooker, instant pot and cast iron pans in the kitchen. This home was not missing anything. We felt at home our entire stay. Maggie was extremely responsive and helpful when I reached out to her with questions about the area. We will definitely stay here again when we make it back to the area.

Thank you so much for this, it truly means a lot to us. We’ve put a lot of care into creating a space that feels both tucked away and comfortable, so hearing that you felt at home and were able to enjoy the creek, the quiet, and the little details throughout the house is really special.
You were such a pleasure to host, and we would absolutely love to have you back anytime you’re in the area.
