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.
