Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Enjoy the slow-paced sanctuary of a cabin set amid hardwoods and rhododendrons. It began life as a barn, but today is a cozy well appointed home away from home. NEW - HOT TUB!

Centrally located between Brevard and Hendersonville and only a few miles from 2 state forests and one National Forest, the cabin is a great base camp for all your mountain adventures.

The space
In addition to the updated 900sf, The Acorn features a private deck enveloped by thick rhododendrons and accompanied by the soothing stream of water from the natural spring on its way to the pond. This humble little spot in our little cove, known as a "holler", offers quintessential mountain tranquility.

The Acorn is part of an active homestead, and while it is in moderate proximity to the main cabin, the layout and landscaping offer complete privacy.

Guest access
Please feel free to explore Yonderways' lush 7.5 acres. There is a private fire pit with supplied wood, horse shoes, fishing pond, and rushing creek. Also during your visit the hot tub is exclusively yours and please note it is located on the only flat surface in the holler. ChatGPT described our hot tub picture as: "Driveway Delight: Soak Under the Stars in Our Outdoor Hot Tub!" lol The hot tub was installed in the former fire pit area and really never our driveway. It is what it is folks - welcome to living with locals in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Other things to note
Our two LGD (Livestock Guardian Dogs) are contained to certain areas of our property through wireless fencing. The cabin is beyond their access range, but be aware if you venture to the pond, horse shoes, hot tub or visit the chickens and pigs they are likely to obnoxiously seek your attention (they are absolutely harmless). If you will text me, I will be happy to pen them while you enjoy the property amenities.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the cabin in relation to your house? Is the cabin private?
-- The cabin is visible from our main residence as it is situated in front of our home up a slight grade. However, due to foliage and to how the interior is oriented, you will enjoy complete privacy. The deck is very private, and the continuous rushing waters make for a soothing "white noise" barrier.

The HOT TUB is in a shared space - but it is only for guest use. Please see property pictures of the hot tub location - it is a short walk down from the cabin - pack sandals, we supply beach towels.

How far are you from Asheville (or Biltmore)?
-- Anywhere from 35 - 50 minutes. The cabin is located almost dead center of Hendersonville and Brevard, but giving the close vicinity to natural resources we're a bit of a ride to the more urban tourist attractions. Specifically Biltmore is a 50 minute drive. *NOTE - we mountain folk don't bother with travel distances giving that a mountain mile can't be measured in the same way as a flatland mile. We deal in average travel times which can vary especially if you get behind another tourist trying to negotiate the curvy roads.

The cabin is a short ride to Jeter Mountain Farms, Holmes Educational Forest, DuPont, and approximately 15-20 minutes from Pisgah Forest, Downtown Brevard, Downtown Hendersonville and Flat Rock.

Lives in Hendersonville, North Carolina
Keith and I have lived around the world and settled back in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Yonderways is our homestead and mountain primitive sanctuary (and always a work in progress). Some guests choose the converted barn to quiet their weary souls and rarely leave the peaceful surroundings. Others come to re-energize by staying only a few miles to hiking, mountain biking, and waterfalls. Whatever your purpose - WELCOME!
