What sets the Wayward Moose Lodge apart from the rest of the properties in the Asheville area? Its location has to be first on the list. You will feel secluded, having a mountain top with incredible scenic views all to yourself, but you in fact will be 5-10 minutes from shopping and 10-15 minutes from eclectic downtown Asheville with all it’s breweries. Twenty minutes to the east is the quaint town of Black Mountain. You will find some of the best hiking, fishing, and white water the region has to offer within an hour’s drive. The Mountains to the Sea Trail and Blue Ridge Parkway will literally be a few hundred feet out your back door.
The second thing that sets us apart is much more mundane but seems to be important to many of our guests and that is the fact that each of the eight spacious bedroom has its own bathroom. Two of these eight bathrooms have air jetted tubs and the primary suite has a claw foot tub as well as large shower.
You can’t overlook the view. Actually, you can overlook it all you want, as it will be staring you in the face about anywhere you are at the Wayward Moose Lodge. My favorite vantage point is from a rocking chair on one of the extensive porches. There is no better way to end a day than to relax with family and friends on the porch in the evening, soaking in the last remnants of daylight on the mountain peaks in the distance. As the evening progresses you can join your family and friends around our fire pit.
When you find yourself having to go inside you will enjoy a lodge type setting with log walls and vaulted ceilings. There is a large great room that is a perfect place for gatherings of any sort and this is serviced by a professional style kitchen. All of these features make the Wayward Moose Lodge a perfect place for family reunions, wedding parties and corporate retreats.

We can provide transportation for a fee in our 12 passenger(including driver) 4WD van. Go out for an evening on the town and leave the driving to us. If the weather gets bad, we can get you where you need to go!

Special notes:
The Lodge is made up of 2 structures, the main Lodge and the Guest House. They both have 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. All the common spaces are in the main Lodge and the Guest House only has bed add bathrooms. The 2 structures come at the one rental price quoted and they cannot be rented separately. To access the main Lodge you have to climb the 10-15 stairs seen in our pictures. The 2 buildings are very close to each other (10-20 feet apart).

Per Vrbo policy we need to disclose that there is a ring camera overlooking the parking area that we use to keep an eye on things when there is no one staying at the Lodge. If this is an issue for you, there is a switch to turn it off.

We hosted a family reunion here - 20 of us from all over the world. The lodge was well appointed and set up for a group of our size. Gorgeous views, great location, well equipped and responsive owner. Loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom, plus multiple dishwashers and refrigerators. Would stay here again - highly recommend!

The property is just as advertised. Beautiful and spacious with great views. Kitchen is well stocked and the ping pong table was well used. We even saw two bears passing through. Highly recommend the van service (the last mile is no fun in the dark) driver was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable you can just text the number and they will get immediately contact you.

The property consists of the main house ( 4 bedrooms) and the guest house right adjacent with 4 large bedrooms. Each bedroom has a full bathroom en suite. The master suite on the first floor of the main house is huge with a huge bathroom and very large closet( as large as a single dormitory room). The houses are gorgeous with large decks with rocking chairs. The only common rooms ( kitchen, dining, lounges) are in the main house. These rooms are very well appointed and easily allowed our party of 11 to spread out in comfort. The view of the mountains magnificent. Though a mile ride up the mountain, you are close to stores, eateries and not far from downtown. The hewn log cabin interior provided the perfect ambiance. The kitchen has all you need to store and prepare tasty treats. Even has a separate ice maker, double oven, large cook top, a large refrigerator and a smaller refrigerator, 2 dishwashers, modern.washer and dryer. You will love this house. The only thing is the staircase to get into the main house could be a challenge for someone with bad knees or hips. The host is very nice and accessible. We did not have to call him as we expérienced no problems. people have commented on the drive up the mountain. I was concerned about it too. Though a little steep in a few places and had a couple of sharp turns, it is not bad at all ,especially after doing it once. we all had suv style vehicles and were glad we did. arrive before dark first time. Highly recommend

Every summer our family does a family vacation. We need space and bedrooms to accommodate all 17 of us. This year we chose Asheville and this particular cabin. Some of us loved being at the top of the mountain on the gravel road others would have preferred not having the very short drive back and forth. The cabin was spacious and met our needs. We especially enjoyed the high quality appliances and made use of them daily as we chose to cook most meals rather than eating out. The kitchen is well stocked. The master bedroom in the main house is BIG and the bed was comfortable. The children enjoyed ping pong and catching fire flies and smores on the fire pit. On a couple of concerns to mention. There are a few loose boards on the decks with nails or screws being a hazard. We had some bees in the guest house that we bombed while we were there. Road is very dusty.,,,I promise you will need a car wash or two when you leave. Overall not enough to keep us from enjoying our trip or considering not renting again. The bear sightings and deer was a bonus as well as the wrap around deck. Views of mountains are spectacular! Great vacation for our family

We were a group of old high school friends celebrating our 70th birthday together. Staying at this VRBO was more than we could have hoped for! Everyone had their own private room and bathroom, and yet we were together. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with two dishwashers two refrigerators and an awesome gas stove. Both homes were very clean and tidy, The beds were comfortable. The view from the front porch was absolutely stunning. If there is ever a need for a large group of us to get together again, we would certainly consider Staying here again.

We could have spent all our time on the porch enjoying the unobstructed stunning view of the mountains, but with the services of the van at our disposal we felt compelled to do some exploring. Our hosts were great at suggesting activities and restaurants, which was much appreciated. The lodge was perfect for our group of friends, and had everything we could need or want. The trip up and down the mountain kept us on our toes, but is well worth it!

The Wayward Moose Lodge is a fantastic property that is perfect for family reunions, friend get-togethers, or other events. Our daughter got married in Asheville and we wanted a place where the family and some friends could stay and be together, but also the place where those who weren't staying with us could gather and visit before and after the wedding. This was perfect. The main home is spacious with plenty of room for the 20-25 people we had visiting for the rehearsal dinner. We only used 6 of the 8 bedrooms, but those who stayed with us raved about the rooms and the lodge itself. The en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom were a big hit. The kitchen is a dream with a main refrigerator, a drink refrigerator, hot water dispenser, ice machine, two dishwashers, commercial coffee maker, plus all the usual. Utensils, dishes, coffee mugs were all exactly what was needed and plentiful. I don't think we could have had a nicer stay in a better place. The host was very welcoming and helpful during our stay. He was able to provide us some firewood for the fire pit during our stay so the nearlywed couple could enjoy making s'mores with their friends. He was very flexible with us for the shuttle service, which was very helpful. The views from the deck are wonderful and relaxing. The road up the mountain is a little iffy in the rain, but none of our group had any issues with it. We would definitely choose to stay at the Wayward Moose again next time we are in Asheville.

We loved the cabin, great kitchen, beautiful place. our driver picked us up and took us to the Orange Peel for a concert, absolutely great service. All 14 of us recommend the wayward Moose for your group or family.
