Welcome to the top of the world at The Knob! Start your Asheville adventure with a beautiful drive up the mountain. This newly constructed modern cabin offers absolute privacy and panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Craggy Gardens from the spacious back deck and hot tub. The finer features of this custom-built home stand out, such as vaulted ceilings that perfectly bring light into the great room during the day. Preparing meals for the whole group comes easy in the fully equipped kitchen. In the evening, gather around the gas stove for conversation and relaxation. Group features include a large gathering area with a TV in the loft for movie-watching. Everyone will want to pull up a chair out on the deck and stay a while. The fresh mountain breeze is filled with the sounds of nature, and you won't believe how bright the stars are at night, especially when you're enjoying a soak in the bubbly hot tub. Nature lovers take note: there are community trails for hiking nearby, including a 1.5-mile trail to the summit of Watch Knob. Plus, your dog can come hiking with you since The Knob is pet-friendly. When you stay at this mountaintop retreat, you'll feel like you're a world away from everything!

Clean and beautiful property

The house was as advertised. Everything was very clean. The hot tub had some mold on the inside. Our sedan made it up the mountain but was definitely a difficult drive up. Very steep and hard to see when you’re in a low car. I would not do it with a car again, you need an suv or truck. The property is beautiful and we loved the view from the deck.

Great Cabin with a View!!

Adorable cabin with an amazing view! Very spacious! Beautiful high end appliances. Gorgeous kitchen. Loved the loft area! The drive up is not too bad. Gravel helps tremendously. Definitely recommend staying here! Black mountain is a cute town only a 10 minute drive!

Lovely cabin

Beautiful cabin, nicely situated on quiet mountain. Kitchen was well stocked, furniture very comfortable! Only issue we had was with trying to get ahold of someone on the weekend when we were having issues with the hot tub. It was a little over 4 hours before I got a brief response after multiple calls and texts. Otherwise lovely stay

Perfect mountain retreat

The cabin was just as described. The porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening wine - complete with great views. Secluded but close to enough to everything. We hiked, ziplined and kayaked. There was lots of wildlife. We were visited by a bear, wild turkeys, a family of rabbits and a muskrat. It was the perfect getaway for me and my husband. Next time we’re bringing the whole family. We made it up the drive in a car but I would recommend at least crossover or small SUV in the summer.

Nice cabin

Overall, we enjoyed staying in this cabin. Everything seemed new and we enjoyed the views/surroundings. We had one issue with the shower on the main floor (wasn't draining properly and was spilling out onto the floor) and it was hard to get in contact with anyone (due to cell phone service not anything to do with the owner). It eventually got straightened out and we had no other issues.

Perfect cabin, perfect location.

We absolutely loved The Knob. It was just as advertised. We had no trouble finding it using Apple Maps it is a one lane gravel road but nothing crazy steep and we never had any issues. Basically as you wind up the mountain there is a cabin every 1/4 of a mile or so. You can see other cabins but it’s very peaceful. Lots of birds and bees and wildflowers. We saw a family of 4 bears the second night! The cabin is very well stocked and has lots of storage and seating. Loved the deck. If you use the hot tub set it to the temp you want ASAP as it does take a while to heat up. Takes about 10 minutes to get down the mountain and to 70 (the main road) but from there Black Mountain and all its great shops and restaurants is about 10 minutes, Asheville/Biltmore about 20. Great spot to explore everything. Make sure to get breakfast at Blue Ridge Biscuit Co. Only had one minor issue (mixup with wifi password) and the company responded quickly and then the owner called himself and made sure we got logged in and let us know we could call if any issues.

Just as described. Well equipped kitchen. Everything is new and modern while maintaining a cozy cabin feel. Very secluded near the top of the mountain road. We had a pickup truck and glad we did to navigate the gravel road. Not too bad, just narrow. I’d imagine it’s more challenging when colder. We enjoyed wine and the hot tub on the patio every evening. We hiked and did breweries during the day and couldn’t wait to get back to the cabin each day. Just so relaxing We hope to be back again next year! Host very responsive.

A cabin in the treetops

My boyfriend and I rented this cabin for a relaxing getaway for my birthday. We rented a car, as opposed to a SUV, with no issues getting up the steep driveway. We arrived before dark, which was helpful, so we knew how to navigate the rocking slope. Once you get to the top, we were greeted by the most beautiful place! Pictures just don't do it justice. The house is clean, modern, simple decor and a place you can call home for a couple of days. We appreciated the ceiling fan in the master bedroom and I loved the full length mirror! Although we mostly utilized the main level and loft area, the basement was just as beautiful! The wrap around deck with the hot tub was my favorite part. We enjoyed our mornings with coffee, our afternoons with an adult beverage and the evenings in the hot tub, all with the view of mountains and nature. Gorgeous! The loft area inside had a huge comfy sofa where we relaxed and enjoyed Netflix after a full day of sightseeing. You cannot go wrong with this property!
