Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Come unwind in this truly unique and authentic log cabin in a very peaceful setting close by to the town of Hot Springs. This 100+ year old cabin was disassembled from an old holler in Madison County and lovingly rebuilt by local craftsmen. Step back in time while enjoying modern conveniences of Wi-Fi, a hot tub and a fireplace. The beautiful French Broad River is visible from the front porch along with the Limestone caves next to the cabin. The French Broad River is a short walk away.

The space
The Limestone cabin is a showcase of master craftmanship made from whole timbers and river rock.

Step onto the spacious front porch and into this magnificent cabin. The living room has cozy seating and a river stone fireplace with gas fire logs for ease and comfort. A nice place to chill and connect or watch a little TV. The sofa is a sleeper sofa that can sleep an additional 2 people.

The downstairs of the cabin is all one open space. The kitchen has all the basics that you need to prepare and make meals if you choose to eat in. There is also a gas grill on the porch for other cooking options.

The bathroom on the main floor does have a shower, and we provide all linens for your stay.

Up the steps from the living room is the loft and new king bed. There is a half bath located in the loft as well.

Besides the beauty of the cabin itself, we think it has several awesome features:

There is a hot tub on the back porch! Perfect way to start your day with a cup of coffee or end the day after exploring our beautiful area.

The large front porch that looks out at the French Broad River! Yall, the porch feels huge! Ideal spot for yoga, playing cards, hanging out, reading, or whatever you feel like doing on a front porch!

There is also a nice firepit in the yard for a nighttime adventure and smores creations.

RIVER ACCESS!

The French Broad River is a short walk from Limestone (5 minutes) and is part of this property. The riverbank was greatly altered by Hurricane Helene flooding. Feel free to explore and fish and watch the wildlife if you like.

Other Notes:

The railroad track does pass through, and there are very occasional trains that still travel through the mountains to and from Knoxville to Asheville. In a time before there were cars and rail transport, the road to Limestone and beyond was called the Drover's Road, where merchants would walk their goods to and from markets along the French Broad.

The cabin is located less than 5 miles to the sweet town of Hot Springs, NC. We think Hot Springs is a wonderland in all seasons. There are plenty of activities in the area to check out, such as rafting the French Broad with one of our local companies, hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail, taking a soak at the Hot Springs mineral baths at the Resort and Spa, visiting some of our great area shops and restaurants. If you venture a little over an hour away, you could explore Asheville or take a fun trip to Dollywood.

Guest access
Guest can access the entire space. There are not limitations. We invite you to enjoy both the indoors and outdoors of the cabin and property.

Other things to note
We own a house before you get to Limestone that our family enjoys, and a second cabin called Riverstone that is also before you reach the Limestone Cabin. You cannot see any of these houses from Limestone, and each is very private. Please note, we do allow people staying at the Riverstone to access the same area by the river so you may see people walking the road or encounter them at the river. There is plenty of space for everyone, and you can choose to interact or not.

If your group needs more space, you may consider renting Riverstone as well.

We have a lawn maintenance person on the property once a week during mowing season. Due to weather, it is hard to determine what day he will be there.

There is a firepit beside the cabin. You may want to pack your favorite camp chairs. Firewood is not provided. There are several places in Hot Springs to purchase bundles.

Neighborhood highlights

The cabin is not really in a neighborhood. This is a rural piece of property that is located down a long gravel driveway near the town of Hot Springs, N.C. There are several other houses located on this road as well as a cattle farm. Most houses are full time residences. Our family has three houses on the property, all quite private from each other. One of our other houses is a rental as well, so you may see guest staying there who are walking the road or enjoying the shared access to the river.

Hi! I am a mom to 3 teens and feel grateful to call Asheville home. I have lived here on and off (mostly on) since 1996. In addition to being an entrepreneur and a local business owner, I am a Realtor - so if you have any interest in exploring the Asheville housing market, I would love to help you!
