Nature Meets Comfort: Cabin with Fast WiFi, Hot Tub, Games, and Nature Trails!

The Retreat at HighRock Acres – A Luxurious Mountain Escape
Nestled within 10 scenic acres, The Retreat is one of three exclusive cabins, this one offering breathtaking long-range mountain views. Perfectly positioned in the tranquil HighRock Acres, this elegant cabin is your ideal getaway, combining nature's beauty with modern comfort.

Luxury and Comfort Await:
This spacious cabin features three beautifully appointed bedrooms and four bathrooms, making it perfect for multiple families or groups traveling together. The fully equipped, large kitchen with a double oven and dine-in wine cellar invites you to cook and dine in style. Entertainment options are endless, with a bumper pool table, ping-pong table, indoor shuffleboard, poker table and an arcade machine. Cozy up by the fireplace or unwind on the large deck, complete with a Jacuzzi and grill – all while soaking in the serene mountain views.

And, we now have fiber optic internet with Spectrum so you can do work or school from the cabin in the woods!

Outdoor Adventures and Relaxation:
The property offers an array of outdoor activities, including a bonfire pit, large pond, hammock, horseshoe game, and picnic tables. A long-running creek and walking trails invite you to explore the natural surroundings. For those who love outdoor adventures, this is a little slice of heaven.

Convenient Location:
While The Retreat provides a secluded escape, it’s only minutes away from the quaint historic downtowns of Black Mountain and Asheville. Explore upscale gift shops, galleries, and Appalachian-style craft stores. The area boasts over forty restaurants, offering everything from fine dining to BBQ, ensuring every palate is satisfied.

Pet-Friendly Accommodations
We warmly welcome your furry family members at The Retreat! Pets are considered an important part of the family, and we’re happy to accommodate them. There is a pet fee of $100 for the first dog, with an additional $50 for each extra dog, up to a maximum of three dogs. We want your pets to enjoy their stay just as much as you do, so please feel free to bring them along for your mountain adventure.

Seasonal Considerations:
Please note that from late-December through February, we recommend a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle due to potential snow and ice conditions. The remainder of the year 2 wheel drive is a

The property is accessed via a short 1.5-mile unpaved gravel road, which is common for homes in the Carolina mountains. This scenic drive adds about 4 minutes to your trip, making the total travel time to Ingles Supermarket and downtown Black Mountain approximately 8 minutes. The road is regularly graded and safe for all vehicles so two wheel drive vehicles are perfectly safe for travel to/from the property. While it’s a bit different from city driving, the peaceful journey through nature is well worth it, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of urban traffic.

Your Safety and Comfort:
We take your safety seriously. All bedding and towels are thoroughly cleaned between stays, and we disinfect frequently touched surfaces like light switches, doorknobs, and remotes before your arrival.

Explore Western North Carolina:
Discover endless activities, from hiking the Appalachian Trails to exploring the historic Biltmore Estate, the largest privately owned home in America. Enjoy local wineries, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and adventures like hot air balloon rides, fly fishing, horse back riding, zip lining, waterfall hikes and white-water rafting. As well as antiquing, golfing, spa days, local craft breweries and more. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or outdoor excitement, there’s something for everyone in every season.

Spring break trip

This was our first time going to the mountains and had an amazing time. The kids had a blast hiking the trails and playing by the stream. It was so nice to unwind and have the kids off technology and experience nature. We will definitely do this again!

Fantastic rustic cabin

This was the perfect cabin for our family trip to NC for NYE. We stayed for 5 nights and had an amazing time. The cabin was great. Very well appointed and stocked, more so than most cabins we have rented. Lots of games to play, great views and plenty of space. It’s pretty remote, which is what we wanted, but the drive to the cabin was a little hairy the first night in the fog and rain. Overall we had a great vacation, the cabin was amazing and Sherri was helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay there again.

Excellent Vacation

This is the second time that we have rented and it remains one our favorite spots. The house is exactly as advertised. Well maintained, spacious, and clean. The property has a lot to offer: mountain location, spa, and game/wine room. Despite the relatively recent hurricane there was no damage, roads were navigable, and the stores in Black Mountain were open for business. Would highly recommend.

Relaxing is the best description for our stay. The house is warm, welcoming, comfortable and fully equipped. The property manager & owner are professional, friendly and accommodating. Our days started and ended on the deck overlooking the gorgeous views. The mountains keep calling us back……we’ll see you next year!

Fall retreat

Beautiful location with fall foliage and mountain views. Close to the town of Black Mountain and Montreat. 20 miles to Chimney Rock State Park. We found this to be a perfect relaxing getaway location. The brisk mountain air made evenings in the hot tub so relaxing. We will return next year!

A favorite family tradition

After four years of staying in this wonderful cabin, I asked our granddaughter about staying next year, and her answer "of, course! I love it here!" The BR set-up, four bathrooms, huge downstairs area for play and stocked kitchen make our time so easy to relax. In previous years, we may have wanted faster internet speed, but were so pleased that it was super fast this year! Thank you - we feel like your extended family!

About the host

Hosted by sherri mansell

Host profile image
Larry and Sherri live in south Florida with 4 children ages 22 to 35. Their parents live in NC and Georgia, and the family travels to western carolinas as much as possible. They love the outdoor hiking, boating and many other activities.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be close to Asheville, a city with an airport, university and culture events, and also close to both parents in Geogia and NC. We love the quaint town of Black Mtn with great restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Biggest benefit is being only 10 minutes to town for food/gas/etc...and 20 minutes to the city of Asheville, BUT having a peaceful property with beautiful views and feeling like we are away from it all!!!
