Weekend Getaway

Beautiful hand built cabin with views of waterfall and Lake Glenville from expansive deck. Dean was a great host and even met us at the cabin to answer any questions and show us around. The cabin sits high on the mountain side so you do need an all wheel drive vehicle or truck to get up to top of drive, which was not a problem for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Dean Getchell

I designed and built this place in 2008 as a year round vacation house for all seasons. It's small in foot print yet mighty in substance. We carved into the side of an ancient 3,500 ft. mountain with little environmental impact. I'm an advocate for the preservation of worlds special places and hope to share my house as an example of how to build sustainably and one with the Land.

Why they chose this property

These mountains of North Carolina have an ideal Climate, clean air and water. Summer weather in the 70's, spectacular Fall and spring transitions and actual winter weather. Central to everywhere yet worlds away from typical trips.
