Glade Mtn Top Retreat | Hot Tub, Trails, 4,500ft Views + Biltmore Pass

4,500-foot Summit Log Cabin! Glade Mountain Top Retreat is located in a private year-round community that enjoys panoramic views from a mountaintop bald. This classic log cabin is outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a real vacation getaway, including a wide wrap-around deck with rocking chairs and an outstanding view, a hot tub, an indoor wood burning stove, and an outdoor fire pit!

Boasting year-round, long-range mountain views in all seasons, Glade Mountain Top Retreat makes life easy with a fully equipped kitchen and a gas grill with a prepping station, and the open living and dining area is great for relaxation. Three stories of living space include a bedroom and full bath on each level, three flat-screen TVs with satellite service and streaming channels (guests must use their own account for subscription services), and a lower level bonus room that features a dry bar with a beverage fridge.

For outdoor fun, take a break in the hot tub, build a bonfire and roast marshmallows, or kick back on the hammock with a good book. After a cookout on the covered deck, the gravel neighborhood roads are perfect for an after-dinner stroll. If you really want to stretch your legs, the home enjoys access to over ten miles of hiking and mountain biking trails right out your door. This Asheville vacation rental is located in Canton and is approximately 34 minutes from downtown Asheville.

Beautiful home with the most beautiful Mountain View’s. Felt at home during our stay. It was so peaceful for our family. The boys loved the loft, basement with games and hot tub. Loved rocking in the chairs while looking at the view. We came to visit Biltmore. We will be back. Thank you so much!

We loved this place! The views from 4400 feet up was amazing. Like many other reviews I would recommend 4wd just in case but a friend of ours drove a 2wd car and didn't have to many issues. Would definitely recommend.

Will not be going back

The house was great. Was looking forward to a nice private romantic getaway with my spouse. Cameras everywhere. No curtains on the windows. Not a lot of privacy. The hot tub was dirty and had to call for maintenance. The house hadn’t been touched in months.

Stunning views

This was a peaceful place to stay for the week as a family. The mountain scenery, even in late March, was beautiful. Definitely plan your grocery run as it’s not a quick and easy drive down the mountain but it was worth the peaceful setting and the view to get there. It is also a good proximity to Great Smoky National Park and Pisgah National Forest for some amazing hiking and waterfalls for some day trips.

Mountain Glade Retreat

We had a wonderful stay in the mountains with an open floor plan house that was perfect for my family! Intially, we felt the drive to the top of the mountain would be long, but actually was 20 minutes from downtown Canton. The views and privacy were delightful, but we also loved the hot tub and fire pit! The house was clean and stocked with beginner supplies and we ended up needing to buy nothing extra for dishwasher, washing machine, and bathroom. Sitting outside on the wrap around porch reading in the hammock or talking about the day's adventures was relaxing as well. We took advantage of the free ticket to Biltmore and a ziplining pass too. It was a great 5 days for us in this beautiful mountain home and in the Asheville area!

Family Time

Very impressed, the views are gorgeous!! We also have a rental property in Arizona. We totally get how you would like your visitors to treat your house. There are a couple of things that we noticed and I thought I would mention, its kind of off putting for a camera to be on the hot tub. I would hope for a little more privacy in using. Also I wish there was a broom or vacuum available to use, for just incase. I would expect a renter to clean up if there was a bunch of crumbs, leaves etc. Other then that it was a great place to stay. Thank you!!

Off the grid

Overall the stay was great. We booked this property for the Christmas period, and it would have been nice if the property owner had put some Christmas Lights and decorations for the holidays. Even though we have requested it from the rental company, it was up to the owner to follow through, and they have not done it. After booking, we received a list of guidelines which could be overwhelming for some, and some details could be missed. We stayed during that freeze period, and luckily we brought some wood for the inside wood-burning stove. The guidelines state that you have to bring your own. Overall, cleanness was good, even though we found some dirty linen, but clean replacement linen was available at the property that we could change, so we did that, and I didn't reduce the cleanness score.

Only 1 Biltmore ticket is included, Sewage smell in basement, Fire hazard in fireplace

The listing states "Biltmore included" which is very misleading. One ticket is provided but we were out of pocket for the other tickets, which cost $350 for 3 people. The 3rd party agency you go through to book the single ticket is very difficult to deal with. When I brought this up to Carolina Mornings, I was told I should have read the fine print. True, but I thought I would leave it in the review for the next person who assumes when something is "included" it doesn't mean an additional $350 out of pocket. There is a strong sewage smell in the basement bedroom and bathroom, mainly when the grinder pump turns on (flushing and showering). The management company couldn't "reproduce the smell" after we left, but trust me, it's there. We built a fire in the stove-fireplace with the flue open but the room filled up with smoke and the smell of burning plastic. We immediately choked the fire and, again, maintenance "couldn't reproduce this" but I would advise against using the fireplace. The cabin is otherwise nice with a pretty view but we definitely won't be returning.

Property was spacious and comfortable, exactly as advertised. The drive getting up to the top of the mountain is challenging but totally worth it. The views are great, we saw deer and turkey near the house. We would stay here again for sure.

The cabin was even more beautiful in person. The views of the mountains were amazing. Neighbors were quiet and distant. The description says 4wd is needed in winter, I think year round would be better. We chose my car over the SUV to save gas for the trip since it was summer and regretted it. Putting the car in low gear helped but it was still a struggle getting up the mountain. It was still worth it though, amazing cabin.
