Beautiful home!
This house exceeded our expectations! The pictures do not do it justice— the view is absolutely beautiful! The home is cozy, comfortable and fully equipped with anything you might need. I don’t usually feel completely at home in a vrbo, but I truly felt like we could relax and unwind while we were there. The drive up the mountain to the house is intense, but just adds to the beauty. It’s very doable and we didn’t have any problems, just a bit shocking for my Florida family who rarely drives up anything more inclined than a bridge or overpass! The drive into Asheville was easy- 35-40 minutes which allowed for day trips or even just heading there for dinner. If you want a lovely house where you can relax, feel at home, enjoy a beautiful NC mountain view, and not worry about needing anything other than the groceries you put in the fridge, this is the place to go!! Thank you for sharing your amazing home with the rest of us!!

Weekend getaway
Great cabin! The drive up was a bit nerve-wrecking but you couldn’t beat the view once you got up to the house! Not quite as updated as some other homes we’ve stayed in, but it was cozy and had everything we needed, it even included a high chair which was an unexpected plus! Would definitely stay again if in the area!

Awesome views
Cabin was as advertised. Easy access, very clean, and awesome views. You are at the very Top of Gateway Mountian with 360 views. The fireplace was used often with the temp outside in the 30's. We have traveled to the Blue ridge Mountains many times and this was by far the best rental cabin we have stayed at.

Excellent Mountain Views
I Loved the place. The sunrises were beautiful. We missed the sunsets because it was either cloudly or we didn't get back until later. We arrived at night, in the rain, and in the fog. Driving on the road from the gate to the cabin was a little adventurous for the first time not being able to see more than 5' in front of you because of the fog.

Why they chose this property

We chose this mountain location to build our cabin because of so many reasons! It has the amazing views, no highway noise, Verizon works, it doesn't get too much snow and it has easy access to I-40 to Asheville. We, together with our good friends the Morgan's, bought the top of our mountain ridge . We have over 27 acres between us with only our two homes.

What makes this property unique

Panoramic views!
