About this property

Mountaintop Log Cabin-Extraordinary Views! Hot Tub-20 Minutes To Downtown AVL

This log cabin has it all! Awe-inspiring views from the cabin afforded by being near the top of the mountain. Minutes from a multitude of shopping and dining choices in convenient South Asheville, less than 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, 10 minutes from Biltmore Park Mall, 15 minutes from Biltmore Village and the Biltmore Estate. The cabin is situated in a peaceful, well-established community with incredible views and lots of trees providing privacy between the houses which are spaced generously apart from one another. For hiking and nature enthusiasts, a 300 acre nature preserve with walking paths is literally steps away from the cabin. Perfect for families or couples looking to enjoy all the entertainment Asheville has to offer as well as peace, relaxation and inspiring mountain views. Tony and I live 30 minutes north of this cabin so we are always available to address any questions or issues that may come up.

PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS HOUSE FOR A BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE PARTY. THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE AND WE CANNOT HOST GUESTS WITH A SIMILAR TYPE OF CELEBRATION PLANNED.

Another has a king size bed, and the third has two twin beds with the bathroom in between the 2 secondary bedrooms. All bedrooms have ceiling fans. Only 100% cotton bed and bath linens are provided. The great room has comfy leather furniture, including a sofa and two reclining chairs, a gas stone fireplace, handmade, rustic tables and bench and a 50” flat screen with Netflix. The dining table seats eight comfortably and looks out towards the incredible view. There is a gas fireplace in the great room for those chilly nights and central A/C for those balmy mountain evenings. Charcoal grill, picnic table, high top bistro table, and two person log swing on the deck. Dog friendly (please, no cats), you can bring your pups -up to two for a $75 dog fee.

Wow! Even more stunning in person!

I initially booked this cabin because of the amazing mountain views, but the views were even more stunning in person! The description was accurate and cabin decor was super cute. The jacuzzi was easy to use and a pleasant way to end our evenings. The cabin was a little ways up the mountain, and driveway a tad steep going downhill, but it was an adventure and we got used to it after the first day. We had no issues during our stay and honestly wouldn’t change a thing. We hope to stay again one day!

Amazing view from a fantastic house

My wife, two adult sons, and dog had a wonderful stay in this comfortable, well-appointed cabin. The owners were extremely responsive and welcoming. The view is not to be missed (pictures obviously can’t do it justice). We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Lovely place!

The cabin is great with all the comforts of home. The place was immaculate with plenty of clean towels, dishes and cookware. The view is amazing! The road to the cabin is very steep and narrow, so I would definitely advise arriving during the day. There is a supermarket and several places to eat not far but you do have to drive. Overall, very nice!

Just book it

My family and I stayed here for thanksgiving week and our time at the cabin was absolutely amazing. Clean, cozy, relaxing, a breath of fresh air. The views, the hot tub, the peace and quiet, the cleanliness of the home. Absolutely perfect. I texted the host at one point and told her she would have to come drag me out because i did NOT want to leave. Tons of walking, hiking and biking trails close by. I love that you feel far enough away from civilization, but just a short drive down the hill and you have everything you need. The best vacation wver.

We loved our stay in this home/cabin! Just wow - the view from the expansive deck! Everything was clean, comfy beds, anything we needed for the kitchen and cooking, and did I mention the VIEW! A bonus was it is three houses from great hiking right up the street! We always appreciate dog-friendly rentals. The communication with the owner was perfect from start to finish! We will be back for sure!

Lovely Location, Steep Climb

Lovely cabin with lovely view. It's quite the twisty drive up that mountain and a severe driveway, so if coming in winter you'd need 4wD. Deck has lovely sunrise view and we loved looking at the mountains from the hot tub. Cabin well stocked. Really no grounds, so only outdoor space is the deck but we had a lovely picnic on it. TV was signed in to tons of apps to keep the kids etc. entertained when through playing. Lovely cabin and view. No complaints.

Amazing Arden View

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cabin in Arden. The view was spectacular, even better than the photos. We were a short drive away from restaurants and attractions in Asheville, but we loved being at the cabin as much as being out and about. We would definitely come back to this place if we return to Asheville in the future.

Magnificent View!

This spacious cabin has the most magnificent view from the wall of windows in the living room as well as the deck. The deck wraps around 2 full sides of the house and includes the cozy hot tub. Well thought out gate design for the fenced yard and deck which allows pups to enjoy the space in safety. Clean, well equipped and A+ communication with host all appreciated.

amazing views

We needed to be in Asheville to help our daughter move and had to bring our 2 largish dogs with us. I'm so glad we found this home. The view was amazing and it was so nice to have the dogs welcomed with a dog treat, water bowls and fenced yard. The last mile of the drive was scary in the dark for those of us from the lowcountry. It was better during the day. We did a walmart delivery while we there so the drive is not daunting to the locals-being so close to those conveniences was also a plus. The beds were incredibly comfortable as was the furniture. There was plenty of room in the kitchen for us all to cook together and we had fun playing games at the table. There was even a desk I could work at while being a part of what was going on. A bonus was that everything was accessible-even to the deck and hot tub. Just a few stairs. The owners responded promptly to our questions and were very thoughtful. Excellent stay. Thank you Birgit and Tony.

Stunning Views

What a great place to stay. All the comforts of home with lotsa space, comfy furniture, well equipped kitchen, electronics, books, starter supplies, fenced dog run, and even whimsical art, etc. My personal fav though is the stunning view from the sizable deck. It's clear the owners made a great choice in acquiring this property and show great effort in outfitting it for their enjoyment and that of others with whom they choose to share it.

Heaven on the hill

First of all if I could give 10 stars Birgit (Owner) deserves it . The place was better than posted. It was by far the cleanest VRBO I have ever had. Her contact , updates were amazing . To have such a great place so close to Arden businesses with those views is unbelievable. I highly recommend these owners. I understand they have other properties. Book with them you will not be disappointed

Host profile image
Please check out our business at Dancing Bear Vacation Rentals of Asheville for more detailed information about our vacation rentals!

Our family moved to Asheville in 2016 when Tony retired from the restaurant business. In 2014, we purchased a cabin in NE Asheville so that we could have a place to visit and bring our dogs. We knew that we would have to rent it as a short term rental to be able to afford it. It's has been so successful that since then, we have purchased 5 more vacation rental properties and now devote our time to renting and maintaining those properties. We enjoy the communication with travelers and being able to provide a great place to stay in Asheville that's pet friendly, convenient and reasonably priced. It's important to us that our guests know that we do everything we can to make their vacation memorable. After all, we want you to keep coming back!

Why they chose this property

We purchased the cabin from the only owner it'd ever had-in fact he built it himself. We loved the incredible view and convenience to commerce-restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, and just about anything else that you would need within a 5 minute drive. We also liked that the entire drive was all paved-including the driveway. We looked at a lot of properties with views that had gravel driveways or treacherous, unpaved roads and knew that wouldn't work for us. This cabin had it all, including the incredible view!

What makes this property unique

Convenience to restaurants, entertainment, anything you would need within a 5 minute drive. The spectacular view is what sets it apart, as well as ease of access. There is a 300 acre nature preserve and hiking trails within .1 mile.
