Dream Cabin
Such a nice place, even better than the pics. Love the cabin theme decor, beautifully decorated. Lots of room inside and out for a family to spread out. Thanks for keeping the kitchen well-stocked and leaving condiments/spices and kitchen supplies; we enjoyed cooking and preparing multiple meals. We were lucky to have perfect weather and spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the mountain views and fire pit. We weren't expecting such nice weather; I wish we had brought cornhole/outdoor games. Great location, close to stores and the little downtown area with restaurants and bars. We explored some falls and easy hikes in the area and along the Blue Ridge Pkwy, and spent a day in Asheville and Biltmore (about 40mins drive). The driveway was intimidating our first couple times up and down, but we got used to it, and it is definitely worth it to get to those great mountain views! We highly recommend this home!

Amazing view
Our family had a great time at the cabin! So cute and quaint and the view is the best part. Most sightseeing we did was about a 30 min drive but we were able to explore so many really cool areas. Highly recommend!

Mountain Getaway With A View
My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We loved spending time outside on the deck or at the fire pit taking in the views. The cabin is so nice and very well kept. We did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. The grocery store is super close so that was a plus too. We also took day trips to Asheville, the Biltmore, and a couple hiking locations. The host was very accommodating and communicative. We are so grateful to have stayed at this unforgettable location!

Best Views Imaginable!
Best house in the mountains I have ever rented in NC and I typically rent a home twice a year. Especially spacious for us as we only had 2 couples spending the long weekend together. We really didn't use the downstairs. Beds were comfortable and the home met all our needs.The views of the mountains were simply stunning. The high quality outdoor furniture made staying outside so enjoyable. We did all of our cooking except for one lunch out and went to the Countryside BBQ in Marion. Amazing country cooking. This house will NOT dissappoint!

Magical Mountain Retreat
This cabin is exactly like the pictures. The views are magnificent! It was a bit chilly but being from Michigan that is our weather in December. The owner was very easy to work with and everything was either labeled or had directions on how to use it.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Johns

Host profile image
I began vacationing to the area about 10 years ago while in college at Auburn University. Hiking, snow tubing, and escaping the hot humid summers down south were just a few reasons to start. As the years went by I became more knowledgeable about the area and shared the knowledge with family and friends. My family and I have been blessed with many wonderful memories in the mountains of North Carolina. We hope to have many more to come.

Why they chose this property

I decided to buy this property because of the outstanding mountain views, beautiful cabin, and central location to many area attractions. No matter what time of day or season the view is always spectacular. One step inside the great room and I knew this was my dream cabin. All the beautiful interior wood from floor to wall to ceiling is very impressive. Also, the property consists of over 2 acres at the top of a mountain ridge. The property is only a short few minutes to downtown Marion. (Just 10 minutes)

What makes this property unique

The cabin is spacious, but cozy. It is decorated with casual elegance and the furniture has been chosen with comfort in mind. The cabin features three floors. There is one bedroom on each floor for maximum privacy. It is not only close to Marion, but to many other attractions like Pisgah National Forest, Lake Lure, Lake James, Mount Mitchell, Blue Ridge Parkway, local wineries and vineyards, waterfalls, tubing, kayaking, swimming, Chimney Rock, Biltmore Estate, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns, Boone, Blowing Rock, and more.
