The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and baking. There is an oven, microwave, coffee maker and a mid-size refrigerator. There is no dishwasher. Consumables such as condiments or snacks may be left behind by previous guests if they are not empty. We try our very best to ensure that it is not expired or stale. Although, it is up to our guests' discretion and inspection to consume these items if they wish. We do not take responsibility for consumables.

Enjoy time outdoors by the relaxing near the babbling brook, sunbathing near the pond, roasting marshmallows by the fire pit or meandering the trails along the property. The plant life is extremely diverse and you will most likely see deer and other woodland creatures.

The cabin is close to hiking, skiing, rafting, fishing, The Appalachian Trail and more outdoor activities. Enjoy a scenic 25 - 30 minute drive to the Laurel River Store for the nearest coffee, or for dinner in downtown Hot Springs. If you are willing to take a drive there are many things to do! It's an easy, peaceful drive with low traffic to the city of Asheville, NC. (about 50 minutes)

Guest Access:
While you are our guest the entire cabin and it's contents are yours to use. There is heat and air; however, if you want to use the wood stove to make the place extra cozy there will be wood to burn. We do ask that if you need a little lesson on how to use the wood stove, please don't hesitate to ask - a few tips can go a long way. There are a few maintained trails around the property for you to roam the woods and a small waterfall near the pond at the back of the property.

Other things to note:
Lots of flora and fauna so if you don't like bugs this may not be the place for you.

It is very important to note that there is very limited cell phone once you turn off the main roads. Please have directions printed.

Also, VERY IMPORTANT: You will need a car to get to this location and get around the area. The nearest full grocery store is 30 minutes away.

Can’t say enough good things about this property. If you want privacy, it’s got it. If you want a pond, it’s got it. If you want a babbling brook and waterfall, it’s got it. The only thing it doesn’t have is good cell service (but it does have good wi-if) but in my opinion that’s a good thing if your looking for a private retreat. Definitely recommend. Oh yeah, the house is perfect as well…..plus they provide hammocks.

About the host

Hosted by Joshua Niven

Host profile image
Hey there! We are Amber & Josh Niven, two love birds who met on the Appalachian Trail. We are artists, outdoor enthusiasts and authors of Discovering the Appalachian Trail. We have a deep reverence and passion for the region we live in and enjoy sharing it with others.

When we aren't hiking, hosting, or making art you can find us in Hot Springs, having a beer at Big Pillow Brewing or eating dinner in downtown Marshall with our two kiddos, River Axel and Indie Oaks.

Why they chose this property

We named our property Camp Happy Mundo after our two pets - Happy the cat and Mundo the Dog.

Private, but not too remote. Perfect mountain getaway with loved ones or solo retreat to make art and connect with nature.

What makes this property unique

Quiet and remote, private hiking trails with abundant plant life, a swimming / fishing pond, rushing creek, fire pit, hammock pod, indoor sauna and wood stove - the perfect recipe for rest and relaxation or quality time with the family!
