About this property

"Cabin in the City" available for your pleasure. Walk to Downtown Burnsville.

Our cabin has a clean and cozy atmosphere. Built in 1986, it has all the amenities needed for modern living. Master bedroom consists of a queen bed and dresser. The second bedroom has twin beds. The space also features a laundry room with full size washer & dryer. Roomy kitchen and dining room will suit a modest gathering of six persons. The living room features cozy two (2) half moon couches for face to face conversations.

Guests have the entire upstairs available to themselves. The cabin is a duplex with a tenant living in the finished basement. There is no access to either level.

Front porch holds outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful weather that exists in the Western North Carolina mountains. A charcoal grill for your outdoor entertainment.

The Cabin in the City is named so because it resembles a true cabin but it is located in the city limits. Within walking distance to downtown Burnsville. Burnsville, North Carolina is a charming small town in the mountains about 35 to 40 minutes northeast of Asheville. It was established in 1834. Today the population of Burnsville is around 1,800 people.

Burnsville is located in Yancey County. Yancey County is home to Mount Mitchell, the highest mountain East of the Mississippi River. In fact, 5 of the 10 highest mountains in Eastern America are located here.

Yancey County is home to waterfalls, campgrounds, backroads, hiking trails and clean rivers.

The Toe River region, which takes its name from the Native American word, Estatoee, is home to hundreds of artists, crafters, musicians and writers.

The annual Mt. Mitchell Crafts Fair is held on Burnsville Town Square the first weekend of August with arts, crafts, food vendors and live music throughout the event. 9am to 5pm Friday & Saturday

Great cozy place walking distance to downtown!

We unfortunately only stayed one night due to an issue that came up on our end. The place is impeccable and the owners had extra touches like water and snacks that made the stay great! We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cabin in the City Stay

This property was very easy to find. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the entire house. The bed was very comfy which is a big deal for my wife and myself. We appreciated the complimentary items like the coffee k cups and the breakfast items. We would stay at the property again.

great cabin.....miserable check in

would love to stay here often, but communication & check in must drastically improve. 3 phone conversations with VRBO proved unsatisfactory.....no real help; finally got in the place 2 hours post check in time in near freezing temps. Wanted to come one day early to spend more time volunteering in WNC but could not reach host

Perfect for dogs.

Our dogs loved the large run. We loved the ease of it, just opening the front door and letting the dogs roam the run and deck at their leisure. We loved being in town and having only a short walk to restaurants. House was stocked with coffee supplies, snacks and laundry supplies. WiFi was strong, perfect for my on-line work. Owners were easy to communicate with. We had a wonderful stay.

Enjoyed our stay at Cabin in the City

The cabin was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The host was very responsive and helpful. The king size foam mattress was very soft and the pillows were large. The air conditioners and floor fan were adequate at cooling the house. The kitchen was very good, as were the washer & dryer. There is a nice front porch but some side deck boards need replacing. The yards of the adjacent homes are untidy, but we enjoyed seeing horses in a nearby field and the view of a mountain. It was a great location for hiking in the area.

A stay in Burnsville, NC should be on everyone's list if you like the mountains.

Great place to stay. So easy to get to many areas of interest, including Mt Mitchell, Asheville, many waterfalls, hiking trails, etc. Additionally, being in town, we were able to walk to great local shops, restaurants, the grocery store, etc. Burnsville is small enough to retain its charm and quiet atmosphere, but big enough that we could spend several hours each day strolling through town. Our housing had everything we would need. The wifi and TV came in handy on a rainy and cold day. I would highly recommend.

Cozy, comfy, great location and CLEAN! Plan on returning soon!

The "Cabin in the City" was just perfect! We spent several nights there with family enjoying the mountains of NC. Walked to the coffee shop in the mornings and hung out there with family. Nights were spent on the front porch enjoying the quiet, peaceful sounds of the crickets without city noise. Kitchen was well-stocked, snacks were greatly appreciated and the amenities such as lotion, soap, cozy towels, etc. helped make us feel as if we were at home. Beds were comfy and clean and we all slept soundly thanks, in part, to the mountain air. The owners are very generous and accommodating. We left something and they searched, found and mailed it back to us! We will DEFINITELY be returning!

Great Spot for Hiking with Dogs

This is truly a cabin in the city. It has quick access to the nearby food/grocery store while also being thirty minutes from great hiking spots. The front yard is enclosed and allows plenty of room for your dog to be able to chill outside without worry. The house itself is clean and well-stocked with supplies that you might need while there, and it has a view of the mountains when looking to the right of the house. The town square has a few cute shops to browse through, and the nearby Garden Deli restaurant is really good. We really enjoyed our time staying at the “cabin in the city” and hope to return one day. My friend, dog, and I stayed here for a hiking trip. We hiked the Roaring Fork Falls Trail which was thirty minutes from the house - highly recommend! We then drove to Mt Mitchell which was also thirty minutes from the house. However, plan for a full hour to get to the top of Mt Mitchell if you want to hike the Overlook Trail and the Balsam Nature Trail (also highly recommend) as it takes thirty minutes to just drive up the mountain.

Communication was excellent! Property was very clean with well stocked kitchen, bath, and laundry. So happy to have a large fan + A/C in 2 spots with temps near 90! Lovely porch for coffee time in the morning & great walking distance up the hill to library and Playhouse - we visited both!

About the host

Hosted by Micah Kilgore

Host profile image
John and I are originally from Florida. We have had a vacation home here in Burnsville for 25 years. We love the area and weather. We decided to downsize and sold our home in Florida. We eventually bought this "cabin in the city" as an investment and decided to share our love of the mountains with others.

Why they chose this property

This cabin has fully finished basement that provides income which was a big deciding factor for our wanting to invest in it. It has that unique cabin feature that also drew our attention. It is situated in a great neighborhood and is a stones throw away from restaurants and shopping.

What makes this property unique

"Cabin in the City" is just that, a cabin located within a typical city neighborhood. It is tucked in off the main road and sports a large front yard. Sit on the slider bench on the front porch and enjoy the beautiful weather!
