Quaint, Charming, and Romantic Mountain Antique Log Cabin Awaits you!

The aftermath of Hurricane Helene has challenged WNC to extents many never thought possible. But we are Strong, and we are Resilient! And, we are blessed to to be able to offer Log Gap Cabin to guests! Though our area has suffered extensive damage in many areas, these Blue Ridge Mountains still have so much to offer. Spring is on our doorstep - that wonderful time of rebirth! Log Gap Cabin is a wonderful place to sit back, relax, observe nature, and unplug from daily life for a while. Make plans now to come for a visit - to rejuvenate yourself, and to help support the regrowth and rebuilding of our local towns. (4WD/AWD access only).

Log Gap Cabin was built with timbers that were hand-hewn in the 1800's. It's a truly special find, off the beaten path, and located just 15-20 minutes from Biltmore House, Asheville, Hendersonville, and access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Due to the terrain of Flat Top Mountain (the Cabin's home) 4WD or AWD is required - so bring your 'sense of Adventure' and don't be deterred because Log Gap Cabin's tranquil location is well worth the trek!

Quaint, romantic, and tranquil, Log Gap Cabin sits on 3 acres, at the very end of a private, mountain gravel drive (with some areas of steeper grade). The Cabin's closest neighbor is Aerie (our other signature property), approximately 50 yards to the SSW. This amazing cabin features an upstairs bedroom loft with queen-size bed, plus a queen-size Futon in the Living Room. Relax in the comfort of premium quality cotton linens and wrap yourself in plush bathrobes which are provided for your convenience. The Living Room is comfy cozy with an awesome masonry stone fireplace and hardwood floors. The kitchen is nicely stocked with all of the modern conveniences – coffee maker, blender, toaster, microwave, stove/oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, dishware, cookware, bake ware, and utensils. If you're unable to 'unplug', don't worry, there is WIFI, and 2 flat-screen TVs. We hope, however, that you'll spend the majority of your stay enjoying nature's serenity and the quiet of the mountain. The property offers several options perfect for relaxation: the fire-pit outdoor seating area featuring a 2-person Amish swing and Adirondack chairs from which you can see Bearwallow Mountain in the Spring and Winter; the L-shaped, screened-in porch which features 18" wide-planed pine boards, a cafe-style table and chairs, and soothing, relaxing rocking chairs; or enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner on the open deck furnished with an outdoor table, four chairs, and umbrella. Best of all, enjoy dessert under the stars, soaking your cares away, in the 4-person hot tub situated on the main entry flagstone patio, bordered by solar powered evening accent lights.

Do beware of visitors, though - it's not uncommon to see some of our local deer and black bear families, wild turkeys, busy little chipmunks, chattering squirrels, and a variety of songbirds. You may also catch sight of a box turtle or some of our salamanders and 5-lined skinks. During the day, you'll hear the choruses of songbirds, and the occasional call of a red-tail hawk. At night, you may be fortunate enough to hear the nearby 'hoot' of owls, see a raccoon, opossum, or flying squirrels. And, if you're really lucky, you may even glimpse sight of a bobcat.

There are two grocery stores within 7 miles of the Cabin: Food Lion (5.0 miles, here in Fairview) and Ingles (7.2 miles, at the bottom of Minehole Gap, in the Reynolds District). There is a CVS store off of I-240 at River Ridge, and if you wish, you can travel west on I-40 to Highway 25 (Hendersonville Road), or south on the Blue Ridge Parkway, where you'll find Publix, a more 'modern' Ingles, Fresh Market, Starbucks, as well as a variety of local restaurants (Tupelo Honey, Farm Burger, Asheville Pizza and Brewery (take-out only), 12 Bones Smokehouse, Apollo Flame ... oh, and don't overlook The Local Joint, Whistle Hop, and Turgua Brewery right here in Fairview.).

A few cautionary notes:
We are occasionally visited by coyotes, and the WNC mountains are home to a few species of venomous snakes (Copperheads and Rattlers) so if you happen upon one, be sure to steer clear, giving them a wide berth. And, while wondrous to see, our neighboring black bears can be dangerous if traveling through with cubs or caught unaware.
Feel free to enjoy cool evenings out by the fire-pit. Do note, however, that during extremely dry conditions, use of the fire-pit may not be possible due to local Buncombe County 'burn bans' - we will do our best to notify you of these conditions, but please also check with Host to confirm that the fire-pit can be used during your stay. As outlined in the House Rules - no ashes from any of the fire apparatuses are to be dumped outside (fireplace, fire-pit, and grill) - The Host will dispose of any ashes after your departure.
