Everything we needed and then some

Our family of four spent thanksgiving week here and the house (kitchen especially) met our needs completely. I cooked our traditional holiday meal here and the kitchen had all of the “stuff” necessary! The views are amazing - ideal for a restful, peaceful getaway. We’d love to come back when all the foliage is in bloom.

What a beautiful place to stay!

I don't know how my family found this cabin but it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. It was close to our desired stops in Asheville and Black Mountain and served as a home away from home. Every room was clean and spacious and we had a blast playing ping pong in the game room. The view was particularly breathtaking and we stayed nice and warm during the cold nights in December. We also got a kick out of the wild turkeys that showed up one morning and made sure to take plenty of pictures.

Anniversary Weekend with close friends

I rented this cabin for mine and my wife's first year anniversary and invited two other couples of close friends with us. We had an amazing time. The cabin was clean, inviting, and the views were to die for. We spent the weekend playing games, went hiking, enjoying great company, and never left the cabin. It was so much fun and we are already looking to book again for our next trip. I highly recommend this cabin if you are trying to just get away and enjoy some relaxation time.

Skyline Mountain View

We loved our weekend in the Beautiful Skyline Mountain View Log Home! The views were incredible and the home was beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable. The grandchildren played outdoors and loved the ping pong table! Adults relaxed on the porch taking in the sights and sounds of the Smokey's. We had family visiting from KS, so this was a special treat for them! I would highly recommend the Skyline Mountain View log home to family and friends and look forward to our next visit!

Peaceful

I still dream about the cabin. For sure we’re going back there. The quiet, peace and calm was everything that we needed, Our dog just loved running up and down the stairs and chasing the squirrels off the deck. The cabin was five stars and the management company five stars + and I’m not an easy one to please.

Lovely house - gorgeous views

The house is kept in great shape and has all the amenities you could want (equipped kitchen, DVD player with a stash of fun movies, paper products, etc.). The views from the wrap-around porch are gorgeous and we spent every morning enjoying our coffee while staring at the mountain vista. The house is a bit of a drive from Asheville, but nicely situated between Asheville and Lake Lure so for a longer stay, you could enjoy Chimney Rock, Asheville, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We had a great time and just wished we were there longer!

What a cabin!

Do not rent this cabin if you don't have all wheel drive! I was not prepared for the trek up the mountain, but we were rewarded with a fantastic view once we walked into the cabin. The deck has a spectacular view and we spent as much time as possible on the deck enjoying it. The cabin is spacious and clean. The beds are comfy the layout was perfect for me, my husband, and our dog. The rental company was easy to deal with and they answered any and all questions I had. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!

Spectacular Views! Beautiful log home, well-equipped, clean, and inviting.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The floor plan was ideal with two bedrooms and a bath downstairs and the master suite, master bath, and half bath on the main floor. We loved the views from the great wrap around porch and also from inside with all the windows. The kitchen had everything we needed and the grill downstairs/outside was a plus. We also enjoyed the ping pong table and dartboard. Even my son remarked at how thoughtful the owners are - laying out flashlights and having a first aid kit in the pantry -also on hand were basic condiments, paper towels, trash bags, etc. My son, daughter-in-law, two grandchildren, my mother, and I were all very impressed and wished we could have stayed longer. It was just what my extended family and I needed.

Stay cool in the Summer time

Goal for the Summer was to beat the heat and spend time in the mountains where it will have low 70's climate. Got to the place and checked in about 5pm EST; instructions were pretty straight forward and easy to follow. This property sits in a gated very quiet neighborhood and best place to stay if you have children and exploring the neighboring areas; which is very close to chimney rock; lake lure; mount Mitchell and many more... Actually met the Owners as the water pump was struck by lightning and there was no water; the Owners were helpful and was able to get someone to fixed the pump the very next day. This is by far the most relaxing and feel at home cabin that me and my family have rented. Will rent again next time around.

Great mountain retreat with beautiful views

This very nice, new looking house is about 20 minutes from the great town of Black Mountain. It is about 35 minutes to Asheville. It's in a gated community. The house was very clean with nice amenities. We thought the master bedroom and bathroom was gorgeous. The wrap around deck gave great views and we enjoyed sunsets on the deck. The homes driveway is initially steep, but we put it in "2" and got our rear wheel drive truck up it just fine. The wifi was a nice addition, and everything worked out great. We enjoyed rafting with N.O.C. on the French Broad River, and also did the Asheville Adventure Treetops course. Plenty of good food, great LOCAL microbrew beer, and interesting shopping as well in the towns noted above. We definitely want to come back for an adults only trip in the future.

Extraordinary cabin for family vacation!

It wasn't until we got within a couple of miles of the end of the directions that we realized it's inside the Gateway Mountain community where we stayed last year in another cabin so we were familiar with the area. Laura's directions were right on for 2 very tired drivers who had just driven the full day from southern CT. Cabin seems to be built solid as a rock! All of the hard wood was very nicely done. The owners provide pretty much anything most people would use at home and you're not that far from anything else you need to buy - it's a remote cabin in the woods which is what we wanted. Beautiful view especially the night of July 4th when we could look off the back deck and see hundreds of different fireworks for 5-25 miles in the different towns. Our 2 kids loved being there and were happy just watching the rabbit that visited the yard every morning. We love that area and will certainly check this cabin's availability at the top of our list the next time we plan to come back. Everything was great!

So glad you enjoyed the cabin and your trip to the mountains! We do try to make it as much like home as possible. Sounds like the fireworks were awesome! Come back soon!
