About this cabin rental
The Retreat at HighRock Acres – A Luxurious Mountain Escape
Nestled within 10 scenic acres, The Retreat is one of three exclusive cabins, this one offering breathtaking long-range mountain views. Perfectly positioned in the tranquil HighRock Acres, this elegant cabin is your ideal getaway, combining nature's beauty with modern comfort.
Luxury and Comfort Await:
This spacious cabin features three beautifully appointed bedrooms and four bathrooms, making it perfect for multiple families or groups traveling together. The fully equipped, large kitchen with a double oven and dine-in wine cellar invites you to cook and dine in style. Entertainment options are endless, with a bumper pool table, ping-pong table, indoor shuffleboard, poker table and an arcade machine. Cozy up by the fireplace or unwind on the large deck, complete with a Jacuzzi and grill – all while soaking in the serene mountain views.
And, we now have fiber optic internet with Spectrum so you can do work or school from the cabin in the woods!
Outdoor Adventures and Relaxation:
The property offers an array of outdoor activities, including a bonfire pit, large pond, hammock, horseshoe game, and picnic tables. A long-running creek and walking trails invite you to explore the natural surroundings. For those who love outdoor adventures, this is a little slice of heaven.
Convenient Location:
While The Retreat provides a secluded escape, it’s only minutes away from the quaint historic downtowns of Black Mountain and Asheville. Explore upscale gift shops, galleries, and Appalachian-style craft stores. The area boasts over forty restaurants, offering everything from fine dining to BBQ, ensuring every palate is satisfied.
Pet-Friendly Accommodations
We warmly welcome your furry family members at The Retreat! Pets are considered an important part of the family, and we’re happy to accommodate them. There is a pet fee of $100 for the first dog, with an additional $50 for each extra dog, up to a maximum of three dogs. We want your pets to enjoy their stay just as much as you do, so please feel free to bring them along for your mountain adventure.
Seasonal Considerations:
Please note that from late-December through February, we recommend a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle due to potential snow and ice conditions. The remainder of the year 2 wheel drive is a
The property is accessed via a short 1.5-mile unpaved gravel road, which is common for homes in the Carolina mountains. This scenic drive adds about 4 minutes to your trip, making the total travel time to Ingles Supermarket and downtown Black Mountain approximately 8 minutes. The road is regularly graded and safe for all vehicles so two wheel drive vehicles are perfectly safe for travel to/from the property. While it’s a bit different from city driving, the peaceful journey through nature is well worth it, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of urban traffic.
Your Safety and Comfort:
We take your safety seriously. All bedding and towels are thoroughly cleaned between stays, and we disinfect frequently touched surfaces like light switches, doorknobs, and remotes before your arrival.
Explore Western North Carolina:
Discover endless activities, from hiking the Appalachian Trails to exploring the historic Biltmore Estate, the largest privately owned home in America. Enjoy local wineries, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and adventures like hot air balloon rides, fly fishing, horse back riding, zip lining, waterfall hikes and white-water rafting. As well as antiquing, golfing, spa days, local craft breweries and more. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or outdoor excitement, there’s something for everyone in every season.

Relaxing is the best description for our stay. The house is warm, welcoming, comfortable and fully equipped. The property manager & owner are professional, friendly and accommodating. Our days started and ended on the deck overlooking the gorgeous views. The mountains keep calling us back……we’ll see you next year!

Our two-family group had a wonderful stay! The property was even nicer than we anticipated, super clean, and all the space was thoughtfully set up for a group. We spent a lot of our time on the porch, soaking in the peaceful view and unwinding in the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary tools, which is often not the case with VRBO homes.
The home location is well tucked away from the surrounding area, and full of quiet nature.
The kids really enjoyed visiting the stream and tire swing down the road, and we made s’mores at the fire pit by the pond one night.
We will definitely look to book this property again!

We celebrated our daughter’s graduation at this beautiful quiet cabin in the mountains. The kitchen was stocked with everything a person could need from paper towels and spices and hot chocolate to air fryers and toasters. The kids loved the games in the room and they were all maintained wonderfully !! The grounds were beautiful and the area was so quiet and relaxing
The road was well maintained and my daughter with a truck did not need to use her four wheel drive but I preferred it. Highly recommend this cabin and Sherri the host was responsive and very accommodating.

Great spot. One bathroom shower not functional, toilet seat in bathroom downstairs was not attached. Other than that was very nice. Jacuzzi could have been cleaner.

Beautiful location with fall foliage and mountain views. Close to the town of Black Mountain and Montreat. 20 miles to Chimney Rock State Park. We found this to be a perfect relaxing getaway location. The brisk mountain air made evenings in the hot tub so relaxing. We will return next year!

This was our second stay at Highrock cabins and it was again wonderful. We rented 3 cabins and had a large group. We love the views, hiking trails, and property. The fire pit and tire swing add a bit of extra fun. The property manager is amazing and responded quickly when we had a question and needed a quick repair. Although it is nice to “unplug” it would be helpful if the wi-fi were a bit more reliable. Overall I definitely recommend and we would visit again!

Our third visit to our favorite cabin with all the amenities and more. The thoughtfulness of providing gift for our granddaughter made this stay so very special. Thank you!

Perfect getaway! The cabin itself is amazing. Everything was clean and organized when we arrived. The property offered a breathtaking view of nature at its finest. I had a 2WD car and made it up the gravel road without any issues. Overall highly recommend this for all!!

The cabin was perfect! We cooked all but one meal in the well-stocked kitchen. We are slept like a dream! Beds were extra comfy. We used the hot tub nightly and played with all the toys in the basement. Everything was in working order and ready! One caution: the road is steep in places and gravel. None of us had all-wheel or 4 wheel drive but if you do, highly recommend you bring that vehicle. The road is well-maintained and the cabin is tucked away peacefully.

We had a group of friends stay the weekend for one of our birthdays. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The kitchen supplies and appliances were very accommodating. There were also extra blankets and a spare air mattress. Beach towels were provided for the hot tub though there were not many extra bath towels/rags. We were able to arrange drivers to transport us one night though they were not enthused with the distance so it was a bit expensive but not outrageous.
Only major downfall is the fire pit is not located at the cabin. The only one I saw was down the hill by the pond on a tiny island.

We love Black Mountain. The Retreat feels like our home away from home. After many years of coming up here it never disappoints! If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and unwind, I highly recommend!!

Wanted to enjoy a cold Christmas in the mountains and that is exactly what we had. Cabin was well appointed, property manager was always attentive when needed and the location was far enough from the main city but close enough to be convenient. Have been many times up to Western North Carolina but first time in Black Mountain. Enjoyed my stay, location and property. Plenty to see if you want to stay close and walk around area. Owner’s were great and very responsive as well.

We had a great time celebrating our family Christmas here. The view from the deck is incredible and the game room is so fun. Plenty of room for our family of 6.
Also, the property manager, Michelle, is top notch. She was incredibly responsive and so helpful.

This is the 3rd time renting this property. It was another great trip. We love Black Mountain and the spectacular views. We love the town and all the great restaurants. The owner and property manager were great as always. I highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing trip to the mountains.

Overall, we had a very nice stay and enjoyed the property. The best part was sitting and enjoying the views on the beautiful deck. We found the pictures a little misleading about where the pond/fire pit area was in relation to this certain cabin. Although still on the property, when we looked through the pictures we thought it was closer and you actually have to walk down a gravel path past the other two cabins to access that area . Not a huge deal, but I didn’t think that was real clear from the photos so just wanted to point that out for others.

Family vacation
Property was absolutely beautiful, very well kept and stocked with a variety of dishes pots and pans. The road to the property is a graveled road and bumpy but we mastered it after a couple of times!!! The hot tub was certainly a plus! The trails around the cabin were perfect for morning strolls. And the game room provided plenty of family fun. Last, the property manager was very helpful with answering all of our questions and needs!! Definitely recommended and hope to be back soon.

We stayed for just about 2 weeks in June of 2022. The property is exactly as advertised. The owner and property manager were very responsive and helpful. The house was clean, well kept, well stocked, and made for a great family vacation. Couple of thoughts to keep in mind
- only Verizon cell service seems to work on this side of the mountain.
- the internet is satellite based (expected given rural location) and slower than most folks encounter in urban areas. Plan other options if you’re needing high speed for work
- as some indicated, the entrance roads are steep and mostly gravel. They are well kept and safe, but I can understand pointing out the difficult road conditions if you’re not used to driving like that. A couple of times up and down the mountain and we were pros. The neighborhood is also great at grading them regularly.
Overall highly recommend. We will be going back for sure.
