About this property

Carrie's Escape | Private Authentic Log Cabin

Built in 1947, this unique log home offers a perfect spot for a restful retreat from the noise and hustle of daily life. Arrive by the long, mysterious driveway (drive slowly) and wander the acres of green, sloping lawn and orchard. With proper gear and a good sense of direction, enjoy a short walk in the woods. From the deck watch bunnies run across the grass or gaze out to the mountains. Curl up with a good book. On a clear night, watch for falling stars far from the light pollution of the city. Black Mountain, Asheville, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are only minutes away. Camp Rockmont (the site of the LEAF Festival) is only a few hundred feet. This property abounds with quiet, privacy, and character.

Carrie's Escape includes WiFi, Roku TV (with streaming capability- no cable), and a gas grill. outdoor fire pit Notes: 4 x 4 is not required; please, drive in and out slowly. The last part of the driveway ascends slightly. At points, vehicles with low clearance may scrape the bottom. The entrance to Camp Rockmont is a few hundred feet beyond our driveway. For star-gazing or other outside activities, please do not use linens from inside the house. Food should NOT be left outside. Sorry, but no pets are allowed at Carrie's Escape.

Excellent!

Great location for the LEAF festival! Very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the fire pit and front porch. Very private and quiet with beautiful view of the mountains. Some wild turkeys showed up in the back yard. So fun!

Great place and location

We really enjoyed staying here and would come back. Really great setup where it list 3 bedrooms with 4 beds. However there is actual a 4th bedroom that has the 4th bed, small put it worked well. The view is awesome during the day and night time under the stars. The fire pit ads a great touch. The location is very close to downtown Black Mountain. However there are no close grocery stores we found and breakfast out can get expensive. During the winter time you will want to leave your master room and the bedroom at the opposite end bedroom open at night out your room may get very cold. The TV Wi-Fi isn't the best but we use mirror screening from our phone. But if goes out just simple reset the router and wait a couple of minutes and you should be good to go. The kitchen is well stocked with items. There are towels, rags and a roll of toilet paper and hand towels. However you may consider to bringing more if you will be there any length of time. Location is very convenient to Ashville or to head towards Grandfather Mountain. We look forward to coming back.

Great Place - Great Stay

Carrie's Cabin was really amazing - maybe the best VRBO we have ever gotten. The beds were comfy, sheets great, towels aplenty, kitchen perfect, grounds were exceptional. Just can't say enough about this place. We will definitely be back.
