About this cabin rental
Welcome! Come stay at our charming cabin situated on two private acres less than 10 minutes from downtown Asheville and 10 minutes from the quaint artsy town of Weaverville. The rural setting lends to a quiet and peaceful stay for travelers after a long day of site-seeing. Almost anything you would want to do is here or nearby. Situated between the Great Smokie Mountains and the Blue Ridge, our cabin is a great home base for all of your adventures.
Our cabin is located in a community of horse farms. You'll be able to watch the neighbors training their horses in the pastures below the cabin. You will also have some wonderful visitations from deer and wild turkey on frequent occasions. Enjoy your morning beverage of choice on the covered front porch and take in the wonderful long range mountain views while eating dinner on the back deck all in the same day. Then, finish your day sitting around the camp fire located in the front yard while discussing your memories of the day.
The temperate climate enjoys four distinct seasons, with comfortable summers, mild winters, early spring and panoramic fall colors. The geographic features, combined with the climate, allows the area an abundance of outdoor activities from hiking to fishing to skiing and golf. With its vibrant downtown, Asheville offers a cultural diversity hard to find anywhere else in the US. Asheville attracts internationally known folks from brew masters to acclaimed chefs to artists of every genre. Shops, antiques, artist's studios, restaurants and brew pubs, from local grills to fine dining, are all a part of what makes Asheville and Weaverville unique.
So...just here for a few days or for a little while longer? Remember, a whole lot of nothing to do is fine and relaxing too! Almost anything you would want to do is here or nearby. Situated between the Great Smokie Mountains and the Blue Ridge, Asheville makes a great home base for all of your adventures. From Boone to Brasstown, Mt. Pisgah to Mt. Mitchell, you can get there from Abner's Cabin.
Come stay with us and see why we think our southern mountains are one of the most beautiful places in the country to visit.

Wonderful Peaceful Quiet Cabin
Husband, small sheltie and I spent 3 nights in Abner's Cabin. Very rustic and we loved that ! A family of 3 deer joined us 1 afternoon. Stoney Knob Café was great for an anniversary dinner! The owners answered my questions quickly!

Great Views
This cozy log cabin is in a secluded area off a dirt road. It could use some updating, and there's an awkward step down into the only bathroom, but otherwise it has all the comforts of home. The greatest asset to this property are the spectacular views from the deck. Actually there are two decks: on the front and back sides. The back deck has amazing sunset views. But it was also nice to sit on front deck in the mornings even if it was foggy or misty and just enjoy the quiet and trees. Very quiet and secluded. Would definitely recommend.

Nice Location
we enjoyed our stay the cabin. FOr us it was the perfect location. Not too far, but just far enough to be away crowds and traffic. The views were great. We even had deer walk right up to the house. The cabin was also fully stocked.

Cozy cabin in the mountains
The cabin was clean and comfortable. The place has all the comforts of home. The property is on a mountain with deers visiting us during our stay. The quiet environment is a perfect restful sleep.

Peaceful retreat; no WiFi
Cozy cabin as pictured with back deck overlooking peaceful pastures and rocking chair front porch. Very peaceful. WiFi was not working; owner’s response was that there had been no other complaints.

Good location, average accommodations
We thought the cabin was a great location, serene countryside, but accessible to downtown Asheville and hiking. The back porch view was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting out front in the rockers with our morning coffee. The only negatives were; the yard could have used some TLC as it was a little overgrown, both beds were soft and totally uncomfortable, the bathroom was small for four people and there were no extra towels, and the wi-fi was totally unreliable. That said, it was a great spot for a few days and we loved Asheville!

Great Mountain Getaway
This cabin is the perfect rustic getaway. The owner is VERY responsive to any questions/concerns!!! I don’t understand the reviews regarding the TV and internet...., you’re in the mountains HELLO?!! Prefect place to escape! The only negative is Uber doesn’t come out there, or they didn’t when we where there, but that may be a COVID thing.... great place to stay!

Great trip
I found the property with no problem. Really enjoyed the privacy and the fact that the property is pet friendly. The kitchen was well stocked if you wish to cook. The front porch is a nice place to spend the evenings.

Great views but not worth the price
This charming and unpretentious property has stunning views of the Blue Ridge mountains, and convenience to popular venues. However, this rental was over priced due to the condition and style of the home (older / traditional mountain home) with foundation issues. Fireplace and grill did not work (or was disconnected) and would require the property owners husband to visit to reconnect. This was a girls vacation and we didn't want any men on the property. The bathroom was infested with spider-crickets (camel crickets), and both porches had carpenter bees and wasps that made sitting outside for long difficult. Other issues to consider: the internet was very weak, the DirecTV was OLD and picture quality poor, kitchen could be cleaner [old food in fridge, dried crumbs under counters and old dish sponges (no dishwasher)], and washer/drier can not be used without turning off the water heater via a junction box (water & electricity do not mix).
Considering the challenges we had a great time in Asheville but I wouldn't stay at this property again. The owner said had she known about our discontent with the property we could have received our money back but we'd been on the road for 8 hours and unloaded before we realized the issues. Finding another place would have been a huge inconvenience. This property would be a great place for someone looking for a "Glamping" feel once the property has been addressed for safety and cleanliness.

Over all we found the cabin to be satisfactory. It was roomy and clean. The one MAJOR problem is the internet which kept going in and out. It should be made clear in the listing that it is a slow, dial-up and unreliable. We had several business contacts to make and had to use our cell phones as hot spots.There could be more supplies in the kitchen. We cooked and there were no pot holders. Also the refrigerator runs most all of the time a problem that you may not be aware of. The door on the left side under the sink is broken and needs to be glued.

It’s a Dream Come True !
Living in a log cabin was a rewarding experience. I only see this on cowboy movies and historical documentaries. Leslie, the owner of the property, provided us all the accommodations to make our stay very memorable. The location of the cabin is on the mountains that you will enjoy the fresh air and wonderful view of the wildlife. Me and my wife enjoyed our privacy and had the pleasure of just walking around the cabin taking selfies. I highly recommend the property for couples. It’s the best opportunity to be detached from the outside world and just focus on your spouse. Thanks Leslie!

Cabin was ideal for us and our two dogs. Easy distance to downtown Asheville, but nice to come back to space and quiet. There is a nice walk for dogs along the river just north of Mill, where Elk Mountain Rd and Riverside Drive intersect We also enjoyed Eluvian Brewery in Weaverville, an easy drive.

Short stay with my family
My husband, daughter, pups and I enjoyed this cozy home! It was a very peaceful stay but close to the city for some of the best food we have had in awhile! We even got to visit Pretty Place right over the SC border. My daughter was also obsessed with seeing a beautiful black horse every morning! We also enjoyed the size of the property for the dogs and the fire we got to have too! The house had everything we needed too!

love this place
My boyfriend and I and our two dogs stayed at the cabin and had a wonderful visit. The cabin has everything you need-toaster oven, regular oven, coffee maker, microwave, and laundry room. Everything works perfectly. We lit the gas fireplace every night and the place stays toasty warm. We saw deer in the front yard on two separate occasions which was so nice, and we watched the horses get exercised right down the hill. It's such a beautiful setting and super close to downtown and anywhere you need to get to around the area. Highly recommend!

highly recommend
This cabin is super cute, in a great location, and has everything you could ask for. If you plug the GPS info in, it's not hard to find. The first night we had to reach out to the owners about the gas fireplace and got an immediate response and step by step instructions on how to light the pilot light to restart the fireplace. It was clean and well kept and we have already booked it again for a trip in February with our dogs. Highly recommend this place!

Beautiful back porch views
The cabin is close to Asheville but in a nice spacious location. We were traveling with our dogs and needed a dog friendly cabin so it was perfect. Lots of yard to walk them. The views from the back porch are beautiful especially on a clear morning.

Great location
My wife & I stayed here with our 2 dogs. We loved it! The location is great, about 15 minutes to downtown but still very secluded giving you the cabin feel. The full kitchen was great to have breakfast & coffee at the cabin before going about our day. Front & back porch are great & our dogs loved running around. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay in this charming little cabin
The year 2020 being what it is with rising cases of Covid 19, we thought it best to not bring my college kid home for Thanksgiving and around my weparents. We rented this cabin so he could join us for the holiday. The cabin is very clean and inviting. It was also very dog friendly - nothing on the ground they could get in to. The view of the back deck is enjoyable and the covered front porch is a lovely place for your morning coffee. You really feel you are out in the country but you are really minutes from Weaverville and Asheville. We felt fortunate to have found this pretty little place.

Great cozy little cabin!
My boyfriend, our dog and I stayed at the cabin a few days to get away for his 40th birthday. The cabin is so cozy and area is really quiet and peaceful. The cabin has everything you need and is a quick drive to downtown/hiking trails. We really enjoyed having coffee in the morning on the back deck. Thanks for a great trip!

Secluded but close to Asheville
Amazing view. Tucked away in the mountains just outside Asheville so you feel like you're away from it all, but Asheville is so close, you can go into town for dinner, etc. Great spot.

Mountain Getaway
Booked a long weekend to get away to cooler weather in the mountains. Location was great for hiking and a short distance to downtown Weaverville and Ingles. Cabin was rustic but with good updates including a powerful air conditioner. Quiet setting and nice view off the back porch.

Perfect Peaceful Getaway
Place was exactly as described. If you are looking to just relax in a quaint, no frills, exceptionally maintained, clean, quiet place, this is it. Morning coffee on the front porch while the doggo ran around & found sticks was exactly what we wanted. Close by hiking was awesome. Super easy check in and check out. Extremely comfortable beds, nice linens & towels, & a beautiful view from the back deck. I’d definitely stay here again.
