About this cabin rental

We look forward to welcoming guests back to our special cabin after Hurricane Helene temporarily paused our cabin rental. Asheville needs visitors! PLEASE READ.

HURRICANE HELENE BOOKING INFORMATION:
Please be aware that Asheville has experienced significant storm damage due to Helene. All roads are passable but there is still visible debris along the sides of the road in areas.

We are providing a discounted nightly rate in January and February to encourage visitors to explore Asheville and support our local community! Additionally, we’re giving a 20% discount for guests who volunteer in the area per night for each day you volunteer. Just let us know where you’re volunteering and for how many days. If you’d like suggestions for volunteer opportunities, feel free to ask.

Our 1800 sf log cabin is nestled in the woods on a private road. The last 400’ of the road is gravel. It's like being in a tree house, surrounded by wildlife and conveniently close to everything!

The road is 100% accessible by all cars. However, we recommend you don't drive your low-rider sports car.

Note that our 35-year-old cabin is only suitable for children aged 10 and older. The cabin was not built to current building codes and may not be suitable for younger children. For their safety, we ask families with younger children to look for another great place to book. We appreciate your understanding.

The cabin offers a cozy and warm atmosphere with big wood beams and an open floor plan. It has mountain views and beautiful sunrises. From the deck, the gentle sound of a small brook trickling adds to the peaceful surroundings. It’s the ideal spot to unwind after a day of visiting Asheville or volunteering.

The cabin is only 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, Black Mountain, and Biltmore Estate. Asheville, Black Mountain, and surrounding communities are welcoming guests to enjoy restaurants, breweries, and shopping!

We’re frequently asked two questions by our guests: "Who decorated your cabin?" and "Who cleans your cabin?" These questions reflect the care and attention to detail we put into making your stay as perfect as possible!

The cabin features beautiful pine wood floors, modern appliances, TVs in every room, Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked kitchen ready for all your cooking needs.

We often get reviews saying "We thought of everything!" We provide coffee, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher pods, toilet tissue, shampoo and conditioner, towels, and linens.

The cabin's open floor plan has plenty of space and light spread over 3 levels allowing your group to spread out and relax!

Everything you would need in a cabin. Clean, peaceful, roomy, view, and secluded! We had a very restful 3-night stay. Will definitely rent again.

We had a great vacation at Wende's Almost Heaven mountain cabin. The hosts obviously gave a great deal of thought into outfitting the cabin and provided everything a person could need, from coffee to lots of towels to shampoo, spices, pots and pans, even an Ingles card! . The light fixtures and cupboards were labeled so you didn't have to dig around trying to find things. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. A highlight was seeing a mama bear and her two cubs walk the balcony. I would definitely rent the cabin again and will recommend it to my friends visiting Asheville.

We had a really enjoyable stay. Everything we needed was there. Very nice secluded location with access to hiking trail right out our door but less than 30 minutes to all the activities we were interested in.

We enjoyed our stay in this nestled, rustic-charm cabin. Wende had everything labeled, which was absolutely wonderful!! Only wish there was more privacy for the upstairs loft bedroom. Other than that, it was just what we needed!!

What a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful house with wonderful views. Hostess pampered us with thoughtful amenities and very clean. We sat outside on back deck and listened to the creek and birds, and a turkey. I needed this!

Took a girls trip for my birthday and we had a fantastic time! About 20 minutes from the city which is perfect if you want to stay in a cabin in the mountains. Clear instructions were given on how to get there. For sure need a 4 wheel drive vehicle but very manageable. My only note is that sound travels throughout the cabin so any noise (tv, music or conversation) can be heard clearly in just about every bedroom. Didn’t bother us much as we were there for a good time but might not be suitable for sensitive sleepers.
