Marvelous

This is a slice of heaven. Its tranquility and visual beauty is astounding! A bonus is the owner George, whose welcoming spirit and friendliness is a blessing. George loves to share his friendship with the neighborhood bears with you, something I will never forget. Thank you George!

A mountain gem!

This was a perfect weekend getaway for me and my dog. George was very responsive and his instructions on how the get to the property and check in were clear. The cabin has a gorgeous view of the mountains, with a massive patio along with windows in the cabin to see the view, even from the bed. The kitchen was nicely stocked and there’s a gas bbq on the patio. The bed was comfortable and there’s plenty of fans, heaters and a window unit AC for extra cooling if needed. The location is far enough to feel unplugged but close enough to be in the city of Asheville in 15 minutes. The road to George’s property is steep but completely paved and the road is completely cleared from any debris. I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a mountain getaway!

A perfect cabin above the clouds

This is a perfect rustic cabin for two. George was very helpful and suggested a great park for us. A beautiful view was the reward for the steep drive.

This is a wonderful, rustic little place with the most amazing sunrise view! I personally loved the drive to the mountain top. The bonus is the abundant wildlife around the property including a momma bear and her 3 cubs. George is a very kind and gracious host. Will definitely stay here again when in the area!

Fabulous Getaway

We felt like we found a gem—a quiet place with incredible views, cozy cabin feel, a kind & generous host. Add to that the amazing opportunity to observe black bears. All while being within a few miles of so many things to do in the Asheville area.

Mountain Stay

George’s property is located up on the mountain just outside of downtown Asheville. The road was steep to get there but the views were great off the porch. It was very cool to see the sunrise over the mountains. It was also very nice to have a dog friendly place to stay. While seeing the bears was cool, we felt conflicted and can’t condone feeding the bears.

Best view in Asheville!

You can drive the whole Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville (which we did) and not get a better view than from George’s deck. Gorgeous. Cute little cabin on ground floor of George’s house with a grand deck overlooking the mountains. We did see a sweet young bear the first night. We felt a world away but were only 10 minutes from really good pizza and 15 minutes from anything you might need to want. Very comfortable bed. We did not cook but the kitchen was fine for takeout and warming up tea. The drive up and down is an adventure not for the feint of heart (at least that first time!). The bathroom is nice appointed. One warning, if you are broad shouldered or carry some extra girth like we do,the shower is a tight fit. We Will definitely return!

Bear central

We absolutely adored the cabin we stayed in! We had such a good anniversary, and adventure in Asheville. George is such a kind host, and had truly to most special experiences to share. The view from the cabin was just phenomenal. I can’t even express how beautiful that sunrise was, and you face the east so you get the full experience. Then the neighborhood bears oh my goodness. Not only did we see multiple bears, but we saw a momma and her 3 cubs! George would tell us when they would come so we could go out and watch them. We will definitely be coming back!

Mountaintop

Very enjoyable. Incredible view. Rustic, but had everything we needed. Approach road is paved but not for the faint of heart - it is one lane and steep, with several hairpin turns. Gas fire is nice but is not vented to the outside. Highlight was seeing a bear!

Wonderful weekend getaway

This residence was exactly as described. It was rustic but well appointed and had a beautiful view. Our weekend there was very relaxing and the host, George, was very gracious. Although you seem to be out in the middle of nowhere you are very close to restaurants and shopping. The drive is a little difficult for those who are not used to steep hills and hairpin turns but we encountered no issues.

Great experience start to finish

It's a long and winding road leading to George's cabin in the woods, but so worth it! Even though you're only a few miles from shopping and access to major highways, you'd never know it as you sit on the deck sipping coffee or a glass of wine, and watching the sun setting behind the Blue Ridge Mountains. Not only is the accommodation peaceful and relaxing, it's also well-maintained and well-equipped. The smallish kitchen is part of the living room/den, but has everything you'd need, including 3 kinds of coffee makers (we were pleased to have access to a stovetop espresso maker!), toaster, microwave, plenty of pots and pans, dishes and cutlery. Bed was super comfy king-sized with much better pillows than you usually find, cozy bedroom, small but efficient bathroom with surprisingly plenty of space to keep toiletries. We spent quite a bit of time on the deck, just enjoying the view and the sun. If all that wasn't enough, the fee is very reasonable, and George is one of the friendliest, nicest guys you'll ever meet. Highest recommendation for anyone staying in or around Asheville.
