About this property

Located on the south slope of Burney Mountain in the beautiful Mountains of North Carolina, the Chalet at Winghaven is a spacious, sunny log home, built in 2014.
Close to Asheville (twelve miles to downtown) and all its attractions, the Chalet is surrounded by 38 acres of picturesque hardwood forest. Wild turkeys rustle the fallen leaves in winter and lead their young in spring. An abundance of birds and other wildlife can be spotted from the sunny porches and a large south facing deck.
Amazingly this natural oasis is hiking distance from the local pizza place and the closest large grocery store is less than four miles away!
Open the sliding glass door of the spacious MASTER SUITE to enjoy the mountain air or relax with a glass of wine on the covered porch.
Sleeping in the LOFT BEDROOM with its own private full bathroom feels like being away from it all, up in the trees.
Guests of all ages enjoy the BUNK ROOM which is adjacent to another full bathroom which features a washer and dryer.
The open kitchen /dining / living space with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams is bright and airy during the day and cozy at night with a fire in the Danish wood stove.
Outdoor amenities include two covered porches, a deck, a gas grill and a fire pit perfect for making s'mores.
The Chalet is a convenient home base for the multitude of activities our area has to offer: Visit the Biltmore Estate ( 11miles), Downtown Asheville (12 miles), Historic Hendersonville (14 miles), go tubing or kayaking on the French Broad River, zip lining, drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, hike a different trail every day or see five magnificent waterfalls in just one day. There are wine tastings, beer tours, music and dance performances to attend and fabulous restaurants to try. Biking is a favorite sport here be it on the road or on mountain trails. We are more than happy to help you with planning your vacation so please talk to us and let us know what you are interested in.
Of course the Chalet is also an awesome place to just relax, enjoy the sun shining through the leaves, the peace of the forest and the starlit nights.
Please note that the Chalet is accessed by a private gravel road but 4-wheel drive is usually not necessary. We are happy to talk to you about the road if you are not familiar with driving in the mountains!

Up on the Mountain

We stayed here for a local wedding. The home was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The road was talked about a lot in the reviews but once driven it wasn’t a concern. The area was charming and very close to the city. Highly recommended.

Amazing cabin

Our hosts and their cabin were simply incredible. The home had everything a family needs: pack and play, baby gate, highchair, booster seat, toys, books, ganes, dolls, even a dollhouse! My daughter didnt even need to pack their baby monitor or sound machine! Just incredible! There was plenty to do around town: the Biltmore, Omni with their gingerbread houses and car show, restaurants, play places... We all highly recommend this home away from home!

It’s all about your expectations

Time of stay: July of ‘24. Our experience at the Chalet differs from other reviews. We expected to have mountain views based on the pictures posted. Since we visited in summer and not winter (when the mountain view pictures were taken) we saw a forest. We arrived late Monday, check in was a breeze. Our 2 young sons ran around in awe of the cabin. We noticed insect activity that evening, some spiders and ants, but turned in for the night. On Tuesday morning in the kitchen and bathrooms there were varying insects. To be fair, I texted the host and within minutes received a reply that contained an offer to have the house sprayed. We decided against this as the insects were not confined to one area and did not want to come back to the smell of chemicals after a day out. We continued our stay, but we were not comfortable in the home with all the insect activity. We decided to leave 2 days early. I messaged the host and to their credit, even though we did not ask for nor expect a refund, they refunded us for the remaining 2 nights of our reservation. Here is what I would say if you’re staying in the summer, as long as you’re expecting to be in a tree house and glamping in nature this is the spot for you! The cabin is beautiful, in a great location and secluded. Again, it’s all about your expectations.

Clean and comfortable. A short drive to Asheville, Hendersonville, or Flat Rock. Entrance road was a little rough but had no problems, thankful we didn’t meet anyone, there were places where cars could pass, many places 1 lane through.

Relaxing Cabin in Asheville

Wonderful, clean, relaxing and secluded cabin. This place was perfect for our stay, we felt close to everything but also very secluded when we wanted to relax. We had our young child with us and they provided excellent amenities like a baby gate, portable crib and high chair, that made our trip easy! There was also plenty of room for our family and friends to come gather and share a meal. Loved the porch! We would definitely stay here again!

Great mountain log cabin

Stayed the extended weekend. House was very clean and we loved the solitude. Despite being one of a only a few houses on the mountain, we were still very close to Biltmore and other attractions. Love the views with morning coffee and the house felt bigger than the pictures. Extremely happy with this rental and look forward to returning.

Very nice place. Dog friendly!

The property was clean and simple yet has everything you need. Wish we could stay longer and enjoy the house more! Dog friendly!!! There are hardwood floors throughout and my dog was not a huge fan of it. We knew it might be the case and brought a blanket for him to walk on so no problem. The floor itself is not slippery at all but some sensitive dogs may have an issue. The property manager always responded promptly. Overall, great experience. Highly recommended.

Nice house but needs a deep cleaning

If you appreciate a clean home-STAY AWAY!! This is a beautiful home and came fully stocked. The disappointing part of our stay was that it wasn’t clean: Moldy towels & blankets, silverware drawers with crumbs and debris, dirty cabinets, filthy dishwasher & washing machine, condom under chair cushion, food and dirt under furniture, webs and dirt on sills and light fixtures, Firepit area dirty with leaves and debris. Upon arrival, we reported some of these issues to the owner and she offered a reclean that she expected us to supervise! I didn’t go on my annual vacation to supervise a cleaning crew! It is the responsibility of the owner to present us with a clean home.

Calming & Located Near Lots of Fun

Our stay was truly calming and the perfect spot for my two year old to run around in nature and my 2 month old to be fed on the porch in cooler weather. Our family joined us to escape the hurricane in Florida and the hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Bonus included having a clean and nice pack n play. They had a high chair and kids cups/plates etc which was a nice touch for us. The location was perfect to discover downtown Asheville, enjoy some hikes, and to visit the Biltmore all during our short stay. We will be back for sure. We highly recommend this beautiful, clean, and calming cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Jofre & Saskia Cacanindin

After living or owning properties in Germany, the Philippines, Hawaii, Manhattan, Croton-on-Hudson, and Raleigh, we chose the Asheville area to raise our three children. We love the cultural and natural richness of this place. The mountains, forests, ecological diversity, waterfalls and the local food movement, farms and markets, outstanding restaurants, cultural events and interesting, friendly people make this a great place to live and visit. We decided to build the Chalet at Winghaven so we can welcome people to this amazing area that we enjoy so very much.
We live just about ten minutes away from Winghaven, on a small farm with dairy goats, rare breed chickens, ducks, geese and dogs. . Of course we would also be delighted to have you come in person and visit with the animals during your stay at Winghaven! Naturally, we will always have fresh eggs from our happy hens as well as handmade goat's milk soap for you at the Chalet at Winghaven.

Why they chose this property

We looked for a long time to find the ideal vacation rental property here in our beautiful area. We were not satisfied with what we could find, so we decided to build it ourselves! The chalet is very close to our own home, but we still feel like we are on vacation every time we go up there, even though we go there mostly to work! We love the seclusion and privacy of a large property, but we don't like to drive forever to pick up some groceries, go to a restaurant or enjoy the culture of our region. One of the most important aspects in our search for the perfect vacation spot was that the home needed to be sunny and bright. When we found this amazing piece of land it was just a perfect fit. We love the special feeling and connection to nature that only a log home can offer, so this is what we built and we feel that it fits its location amazingly well.

What makes this property unique

The chalet feels bright, airy and warm, with its exposed wooden beams, high ceilings and natural materials throughout. We love to have a crackling fire in the wood stove when it is chilly outside or sit on the porches and enjoy a glass of wine under the stars in summer.
We designed the home to take full advantage of its location and the mountain views. The inside and outside connect through sliding glass doors and huge windows.
The loft bedroom is amazing, it feels like you are sleeping in the tree canopy up and away from it all. Our kids love the bunk room, this is a favorite sleepover spot for them and their friends. The master bedroom is spacious and it is nice to open the sliding glass door to the porch and take in the night air before going to sleep.
We love to explore the forest, follow the little stream downhill and look for the large flock of wild turkeys that is always to be found here somewhere.
