North Carolina vacation rentals

This property was exactly what we needed... and more! The cabin is just lovely. Well appointed and comfortable. Private, quiet. The dwelling has great character and has been designed and adorned with wonderful art and gleanings from the surrounding area. The owners have been thoughtful to provide guides, restaurant menus, brochures and books on local and area destinations. Located not too far from access to the Blue Ridge Parkway for great views, hikes and waterfalls. While on the parkway, stop in Little Switzerland and check out Books & Beans for new, used and rare books. Run on up to Grandfather Mountain and spend the day exploring, or over to Mt. Mitchell for stunning views and hiking. The cabin is a short drive to charming Spruce Pine "The Mineral City" to stock up on provisions. While in town, have a cuppa or lunch at DT's Blue Ridge Java Coffee Shop & Cafe. Stop in the Toe River Arts Council 'TRAC' Gallery to view featured local artists/craftsmen works on display. Head on over to Woody's Chair Shop to appreciate the history of quality handmade chairs, stools and rockers... and maybe purchase a family heirloom!? Absolutely don't miss the Penland School of Crafts campus, gallery and studios. Experience Miss Lucy's legacy first hand. The buildings and grounds are seeped in history. I loved meeting potter Cynthia Bringle and think fondly of my visit to the mountains every time I look at one of her pieces I acquired while there. Don't be shy about stopping in and visiting the many local artists studios and galleries when you see their shingle hanging out along side the road. While out on a waste and recycling center run - we decided to drop in to Wood Song Pottery. We were welcomed by potter Joy Tanner, she shares the studio with her husband William Baker, also a potter. There were numerous other artisans and sites to see - not enough time - we plan on exploring more on our next visit to Hawks View and the beautiful North Carolina mountains. Highly recommend.

Stayed the weekend to ride the local mountain roads. Home is in a quite location, well appointed and exceptionally clean. Communication with the owner was excellent, beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and relaxing by the fire pit in the evening was perfect (Owners even provided the firewood). For those on motorcycles, respect the speed limit on the way to/from the main road (2.5 mi), as you're passing through a residential neighborhood. The driveway is gravel, but is totally doable on a bike, just need to be cautious. Remember to bring your streaming passwords for the TVs and something for your kickstand to rest on.

My dad said we would visit the Cullasajah River some day, and we never got around to it. So, I surprised him with a birthday trip up there this year and man! This place is a gem! The cozy cabin was just perfect for our weekend. We cooked lots of yummy food in the well-equiped kitchen, used the suggestion to go grab lunch at The Ugly Dog (amazing food and atmosphere), and we slept so comfortably (even the twin beds are excellent for adults). The view from the back porch was amazing. Our pups loved the property as well. We couldn’t have had a better time. The place was immaculately clean and adorable. The driveway was even one of the better of the mountain cabins we’ve stayed in. Definitely recommend!

This vacation rental is truly a “home away from home” place to stay! Comfort, peacefulness, and convenience are some of the words that best describe it. The owner, Stacey, has thought of everything to make your time there be inviting and enjoyable! From snacks on the kitchen table upon arrival, notes throughout with helpful information, and a vegetable garden and some quail in the backyard, there’s every reason to feel welcome. Thanks for being a top-notch host, Stacey!!

This cabin really does have it all! Even though it is a 110+ year old cabin, Diane and Patrick have done a great job of updating it! One thing I loved was that there are very few latchable doors. Even the front and back doors rely on the modern programmable deadbolts to latch. As a matter of fact, the back door is a Dutch door! It comes in handy if you want to just throw a few things in the recycle bin without having to let too much cold in! The kitchen was modern without detracting from the feel of the home. The standout star, however, is the totally redone bathroom with heated floors! This may seem frivolous, but if you stay during the winter, you will 100% appreciate it. One thing to be aware of if you do stay during the winter is that it is an old cabin… it is hard to heat, but if you cut the gas stove on in the living room when you first wake up, it will get you warmed up. The beds are ready for the cold with a flannel top sheet and a duvet. You will definitely stay warm! You can hear traffic pretty well from the front of the house as it is on a busy street, but it isn’t really noticeable from the bedroom. Like they say, it is a price for convenience as this cabin is very close to anything you need. With a gas station just a hop away and restaurants and Ingle’s within a few miles, you couldn’t ask for a better spot. I wish it had been warmer so that we could have really appreciated the outside area. We did turn the hanging lights on and enjoy the hot tub, but we didn’t stay outside much other than that. All in all, I don’t think I could have been happier with the experience. If we go back to the Asheville area, I will definitely try to book again!

We selected this rental for the accommodation with pets. Daniel was very helpful in making some allowances for our unexpected travel with our dogs. Last minute, we had to leave them at home, but his flexibility was much appreciated and we will remember to consider the house for future travels with furry friends. The access to the house was straightforward, and everything was as described in the listing. Lots of room in a well maintained older home with modern amenities. The location is perfect for hanging out at nearby Wake Forest University, and I suspect it makes for a great graduation weekend stay. Daniel was responsive to all questions, and as noted, accommodating to a non-standard pet stay. Would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed staying at this cabin! It is clean, beautiful inside, and the beds are very comfortable. It has jacuzzi, and a sauna - 2 people can go in at a time. It is spacious. It is well stocked with blankets, pillows, and towels. We went with infants and it was nice that they had a playpen. The cabin has pool table, and some board games on the first floor. One suggestion would be to allow the guest to control their room temperature. We had two infants in the house and the master bedroom on the main floor was cold. We had to turn the heat higher to keep them warm, but the temperature was set at 75F with a passcode. For adults this temperature is okay, but not for infants in the winter time. The other rooms were warm. The kitchen is stocked well. We enjoyed the outside furniture the gliding chairs. We had a little bit of snow on our last day which was nice. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended this cabin.
