About this cabin rental
Welcome to Little Hickory Top Cabin. Named after the mountain it overlooks, this beautiful new modern cabin is perched on a ridge facing Bent Creek Experimental Forest. Convenient location offers easy access to all that Asheville has to offer. Find rest and recharge with beautiful views from every room, and a great deck to grill from.
This modern cabin is warm and welcoming with beautiful features throughout, including large timber framed ceilings and stairs. The home is three stories with a common area on the main floor and bedrooms on the upper and lower. It is EcoStar certified and was featured in the 2020 Asheville Parade of Homes!
The home is nestled in a quite cove behind Bent Creek Experimental Forest and Enka Lake. There is access into the forest less then a mile away while still convenient to the city. 20 minutes to downtown Asheville, Biltmore Estate, and the main entrance to Bent Creek. 30 Minutes from the Airport and Sierra Nevada. If you enjoy mountain biking and want to explore some classic Pisgah loops you are 40 minutes from the entrance to the Ranger District.
The easiest way to get around is by car, the home is located in a mountain side neighborhood with paved roads and drive way, accessible by any vehicle. The roads and drive way are steep so please take extra precaution in inclement weather or at night.
For those interested in working remote or needing connectivity the home has 400Mbps cable internet service and a Orbi Mesh router to ensure good WiFi throughout the house. Cell signal is also great, with LTE and 5G on both Verizon and T-Mobile.
If you are bringing little ones we have a pack n play (with sheets), baby gates, kids dinnerware, and a baby/toddler carrier hiking backpack! We have three young kids so if you need anything in advance let us know!

We want to be great stewards of the home and neighborhood. Please be respectful while driving to the cabin, drive slow in the neighborhood (15mph!) and watch for pedestrians, kids, and pets. Please no partying or loud noise at any time during your stay.

We celebrated our 24 year anniversary here. We really appreciated the property being tucked away from neighbors. The trees that surround the property give you a sense that you are in a very remote location but you’re actually just about 20 minutes away from everything Asheville has to offer. Even though we only stayed for a couple of nights, I can see this being comfortable for a longer stay. I know there is nothing the owners can do to change these following two things so that’s why I still gave them a 5 star review. They warned us about the driveway but not being from a mountainous area this driveway is definitely extreme. It was unnerving to arrive late at night and be unfamiliar with the location and have to back in on an angle down to the bottom. I would honestly suggest some sort of guardrail to prevent accidents at the bottom of the hill. The second thing is there is no central air conditioning. We are unfamiliar with how to operate the air conditioning mini splits so we were either cold or hot. (Obviously user error but worth mentioning!) The views are amazing and the owner’s communication about everything was so good! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The views were spectacular, especially the view above the clouds in the mornings. It was simply stunning! The home was clean and comfortable. If you are driving a large SUV like I did, follow the suggestion to back down the driveway into the parking spot. Wheee!!! Would we stay here again? Yes! Absolutely!

This "cabin" is beautiful and clean. The views are amazing and the deck is an awesome place to relax and take them in. The fire pit area is very nicely done by an artisan and lovely to look at as well as sit by the fire on crisp nights and star gaze. The split of one bedroom being up and another being down with the main floor in between is ideal for 2 couples staying together. Great location is close to both hiking and downtown, I needed many more days here. Thank you!

Property was clean and full of amenities. Exactly as advertised. Great views from multiple locations in and on the property. Owners are very thoughtful and were easy to communicate with. Driveway is a bit on the steep side and we elected to back down it in our 2500 pick up truck. We will be planning to come back and enjoy the property again in the next year.

This place was beautiful!! The view from the back deck was amazing! It was super clean and comfortable beds. All the details the host put into this place really shows! It literally has everything we needed. Plenty of baby/kid items, trash bags, soap, laundry detergent. I don’t have one negative thing to say!

Went to visit family with my spouse and one other couple. The cabin was clean, bright and spacious. Ample amount of living space and outdoor space. With one bedroom on the top floor and the second on the lower floor, we were together but had plenty of privacy! Would highly recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! One of the most fully stocked properties we’ve visited. Truly relaxing. The drive is steep but manageable and we had it down in no time. Really appreciate the baby items! Owners are gracious & quick to respond.

Gorgeous modern vibe mountain home close to all of the Asheville activities. It’s almost too luxurious to be a vacation rental! This is the cleanest Vrbo we have ever stayed in. The owners have made sure that their guests enjoy their stay.

The house is new and very nicely maintained. Beautiful views and very private. Bedrooms are at the basement level and 2nd floor level which provides plenty of privacy. Highly recommend!!

The property was very nice. Very clean and new, and extremely well outfitted for our family. We had a great couple of nights - would have liked to have stayed longer. We loved Asheville. There is great hiking, eating and gallery visiting. We will be back to the area.

Perfect for a weekend getaway. Kitchen had everything I needed to cook. Hammock was perfect for relaxing and reading. The protest was clean, up to date, and had the most amazing view of any property we’ve ever stayed in. Would love to travel back

This home is perfect for two couples that want privacy with a wonderful family room / kitchen on the main floor with a fantastic deck. One bedroom/bath is on the 2nd level and the other is on the lower level with a patio. While we didn't use the fire pit, we enjoyed sitting outside around it. The views of the distant hillsides were beautiful. There are no negatives to the property. It is important to note that you should come in 1 vehicle. There is not enough room to park 2. When we are back in Asheville, this is the only place we'll stay.

VIEWS!!! Cute house. It had everything we needed. Easy access to hiking and the Biltmore. The driveway is no joke - follow Austin's instructions. We told the pizza guy we would meet him at top of driveway :)

Very nice place. Very nice and quiet location, very clean and we had everything we needed. The bed we slept in was 10/10 comfortable. I only have very positive things to say and zero negative remarks. If you like the outdoors then you'll very much appreciate the unique deck with it's view.
