Welcome your stunning mountaintop cabin near Asheville, the perfect destination for a peaceful and rejuvenating retreat in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains!

Nestled at an elevation of 3,000 feet, our cabin boasts breathtaking panoramic views (depending upon the season — the views change) of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the day awaken over or unwind with a glass of wine in the evening as the sun sets behind the horizon.

Inside, your beautifully appointed cabin features rustic yet modern furnishings, including high-quality linens, cozy blankets, and areas perfect for lounging and relaxing. The cabin’s accommodation includes a comfortable queen-sized bed and luxurious bedding, ensuring a good night's sleep for all.

Outside, the cabin is surrounded by lush forests and nearby trails providing endless opportunities for outdoor adventure and exploration. Take a hike on one of the local trails, or simply relax on the deck or hammock and take in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Located in the scenic town of Mars Hill just a short drive from the vibrant city of Asheville, our mountaintop cabin is the perfect base for exploring all the area has to offer, from art galleries and museums to local breweries and restaurants.

Other things to note
🥇4 X Voted Best of Madison County 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣, 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣, 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣ & 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣: Best Cabin/Cottage Vacation Rental

⚠️ *Please note that due to the elevation and steep grade, you will require an AWD or 4WD. 🚙 This is a gravel driveway, not a city street. The elevation changes nearly 1,000 feet between town and the cabin.

🛻 *Please note that an SUV is NOT always a 4WD.

🚘 *If you do not have an AWD, it’s very unlikely you will be able to park outside the cabin. Instead, depending upon your vehicle on a steep and gravel road, you would need to park at a switchback ~100 yards from the door. The road to the switchback is still gravel and steep. If you are unfamiliar with gravel or steep roads, the only other parking is along South Valley View.
