This charming cozy log cabin nestled in Highrock Acres, with a bonfire pit, large pond, horseshoe pit, hammock, picnic tables, long creek and walking trails with all the comforts of home. It's a perfect getaway for those that love nature, while still only minutes to quaint historic downtown black mountain and very close to Asheville, and dogs are welcomed.

We thoroughly clean and wash all bedding and towels between each stay. We want you to know that we’re doing our part to help our guests stay safe by cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces as well (light switches, doorknobs, cabinet handles, remotes, etc.) before you check in!

Outdoor recreation and outdoor adventures are seemingly endless in the Western North Carolina mountains, the outdoor playground of the Southeast along with the conveniences of city life. Acclaimed by numerous magazines as a top outdoor adventure destination. Take a walk through historic downtown Black Mountain and discover numerous upscale gift shops, galleries and Appalachian-style craft stores. From the most upscale cuisine to country cooking and BBQ, the area is home to over forty restaurants sure to please any palate.

Activities are endless: Appalachian Trails, Historic Biltmore (largest privately owned home in America), Wineries, Pisgah National Forest, Hiking, Hot Air Balloon Ride, Lake Lure Beach, Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mtn, Linville Falls & Caverns, Chimney Rock, Rock Climbing, Fly Fishing, Horseback Riding, Hot Springs, Biking, White Water Rafting, French Broad River Rafting, NC Arboretum, Ski Resorts, Sledding, Sliding Rock, Mount Mitchell, Antiquing, Playhouses, Taverns, Minor League Baseball, Art Museums & Galleries, Mini Golf, Ghost Trolley Tour, Historic Tours and many Golf Courses and Spas to choose from.

This cabin is just perfect. It's beautiful, cozy, well maintained, and clean. Check in was a breeze, the hot tub was crystal clear, hot, and bubbly. The fireplace was simple to use and added perfect warmth. I can't say enough good about this tucked away piece of heaven. The host was immediately available for our questions.

Great Little Cabin in the Mountains

First, thank you for sharing your house with our family. We had a wonderful stay. We originally intended to spend our time exploring the area (Asheville, Chimney Rock), but ended up staying around the property and the cabin itself. The trails were perfect for the kids, and the creek was fun to explore. The cabin had everything we needed. Thanks again for the opportunity.

Perfect family getaway cabin. Great for young kids

The cabin is really thoughtfully decorated and felt like home. It was a perfect size for our family of 4 with 2 young children. The wifi worked extremely well and even reached to the firepit area. The property surrounding the cabin was the true star. The trails are beautiful and the fire pit area was awesome. I would recommend bringing chairs as there is only a picnic table. You may have to share the firepit if the other cabin is occupied. We really loved the property and would definitely book again!

Peaceful Getaway

The Meadow is a great cabin. It was more than spacious enough for us. The hot tub was a great bonus in the evening when the air cooled down. We loved the trails on the property, the huge fire pit surrounded by the pond and seeing the mama bear and baby cubs was a wonderful treat! I highly recommend this cabin if you want to feel secluded, but still close enough to town to get some dinner at one of the restaurants in Black Mountain or take a ride into Asheville. We will definitely return.

Cabin for rest and relaxation

I selected the location to use as a place to stay while attending the Montreat Music Conference. I enjoyed my time at the cabin as it was a restful location. The owner was very responsive to receiving a phone call for further directions and helpful in helping get me to the right location. It is a great hide a way from the stresses of life. Everything needed is provided. I enjoyed coming back to stay in the cabin each day. The front porch was the perfect location for reading and Bible study.

HighRock Meadow Review

Very nice place, well kept, peaceful and appreciated the owners flexibility in letting us look around other cabins. Used the trails to walk our dog often and the grill and hot tub were the highest quality ones we've had at a rental yet. Only complaint was that we couldn't use the fireplace without causing the fire alarms to go off. May need to check ventilation.

Mountain Escape

The cabin is nice and everything we needed for a short vacation was provided. Not a negative to the cabin but the gravel roads leading to the cabin are a bit rough and steep. I have a Jeep so I had no issues. We saw a bear one day crossing the drive it was cool to see at a safe distance. The front porch was my favorite spot to sit and enjoy my coffee.

Tranquil Escape

We needed a few days of R&R and to mentally decompress and knew exactly where to go. We returned to High Rock Cabins (the Meadow) - one of our favorite vacation destination spots. As always, it lived up to our expectations, and we left renewed and refreshed. As we drove up the beautiful mountain roads and a manicured gravel driveway, we could already feel the weight off our shoulders. As always, the accommodations are beautiful, immaculate, and maintained with love and care. It shows! Best of all, we didn’t need to go anywhere to enjoy our trip - the picturesque mountain views are priceless. Can’t wait until our next visit.

Nice Cabin/Annoying Check out

In order to reach this cabin you have to drive down a very steep gravel road for 15-20 mins. Keep in mind that this property is very remote. You also have to wash all of your towels, which is quite irritating when you are staying at a vacation rental. The cabin is charming, and the hot tub is a nice bonus feature as well.

My husband and I have 4 children ages 22 to 35 and live in South Florida. We have vacationed in western NC for over 25 years where my parents have a home.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location in Black Mtn because it's a very quaint town with great restaurants and so close to the city of Asheville with an airport, university and culture events.

What makes this property unique

What we love best about our property is that we are located in the mountains and surrounded by nature, but only 10 minutes to the grocerty store and other amenities.
