About this property

Mountain Gem by AvantStay | Incredible Views

Your mountain escape begins at this Waynesville cabin, nestled in the Cataloochee Hills 35 miles from Asheville. Mountain Gem is a two-story log home with cathedral ceilings and windows, a loft, a hot tub, and incredible views.

Step onto the wrap-around deck, with a 20-mile Smoky Mountain vista. Fire up the charcoal grill for barbecues, or gather around the fire pit for a marshmallow roast. A hot tub invites you to soak away your worries while gazing at the stars.

Indoors, the open-concept great room features a gas fireplace, and the fully-equipped kitchen invites you to prepare meals for your group. In the loft, foosball tournaments await.

You'll find both a king and a queen bedroom on the main floor, a queen room upstairs, and a twin daybed with a trundle pull-out in the open loft.

Immerse yourself in nature while still enjoying access to the best of the surrounding area and attractions.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we're at your service!

An exciting yet laid-back escape among the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is a unique blend of outdoor adventure, exciting entertainment, and incredible local cuisine. Explore stunning views from bike or horseback, or stroll around the buzzing art district filled with breweries, boutiques, and other venues. Cool breezes, historic architecture, and more --- you can have it all in the Asheville area.

Horrible Experience
I did not stay at the property because the TV was not working..no signal. The furniture was soiled and not pleasant. The closets were full of junk and equipment for cleaning the house. I did not want to put my nice clothes in the closets. The home is outdated. Nevertheless, we did not stay. As soon as we got there, I called the local folks who stated they could not get someone out there to try to fix the TV. We had traveled a long way and were tired but did not unpack...we left and stayed at a hotel in Asheville which was clean and everything worked. The avantstay person I spoke with was not empathetic. He stated I would not get a refund for the reasons I had stated. I am sorry but if the TV does not work, the furniture soiled and closets full of junk where you could not put your nice clothes that is not acceptable to me.

Great Cabin and Location
We had a wonderful time at Mountain Gem. Cabin is just as described in a beautiful location. Host was proactive with communication. Convenient to Cataloochee Valley and Waynesville, which we love. We would return without hesitation.

Nice stay
We enjoyed our stay, beds were comfortable. House was very clean. Water pressure was great. Hot tub was awesome. Management of property was very responsive by text. A suggestion would be to get a window unit for the upstairs bedroom as we had to keep the downstairs uncomfortably cold to cool down the upstairs. Also we requested a remote control for the upstairs loft TV and it was dropped off the next morning, but we had to spend 45 minutes of our vacation time trying to connect it as it was kinda complicated for the old TV. It would have been nice if it would have been done for us is all. Thank you for opening your home.
