This is a wonderful cabin and my wife and I would love to return and share it with friends.
My wife and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and were looking for a place that checked a lot of boxes including: feel like we are away, comfortable, in the mountains, hiking available, places to just put your feet up, near an interesting town, etc.
This location filled all of them!
* The cabin is a work of art and love, constructed of interlocking 6x12" beams of wood, beautiful woodgrain with some stone throughout, banisters made from local wood, elk theme (without overdoing it), nails the "cabin" feel, abundant windows overlooking the forest.
* At the cabin you feel totally "away" and yet in a couple of minutes you can be in Asheville, NC, with its many unique food, entertainment, history, and shopping opportunities.
* Different comfortable places to gather inside and out - including several separate outdoor spaces (one is screened in)
* The other homes/cabins nearby were not an issue (Mostly out of sight - out of mind)
* We met the owners as they did some cleaning at the property across the driveway, also on AirBnB, and they are wonderful and helpful. We initiated contact with them.
* We had not spent time in a sauna recently and it was very nice to get reacquainted.
The road to the cabin can be steep and narrow, but is not an issue, even for a Toyota Prius.
