Hurricane Helene

My friends and I weathered tropical storm Helene from Miller High Life. Though we lost power, water and cell service, we felt as safe as possible in their sturdy home. Thank goodness for battery operated lanterns and helpful neighbors.

Friends trip 2024

Old friends since 1st grade. We have a long and wonderful friendship and go somewhere every year. We loved NC and the beautiful mountains. The cabin was perfect for us. We cooked and sat on the deck and had lots of laughs. Wild turkeys and deer were all around.

Absolutely spectacular!

Th cabin was nothing short of spectacular. The log cabin boasts breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and adventure. Each bedroom is private with its own bathroom, and the fully equipped kitchen made meal prep a breeze. The outdoor spaces, including the sundeck and balcony, were perfect for soaking in the natural beauty. I highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a serene mountain getaway.

Great cozy cabin

Views were beautiful in the cozy cabin. Steep mountain c switchbacks made the views even better. In winter I’d be sure to have AWD. Clean. As described. Cabin country decor.

Wish we had more time!

My family spent two nights in the cabin on our way back to Pennsylvania from Georgia. The view is amazing. I would have been happy just sitting and watching the sky change with the fireplace going all day. We did some hiking a Chimney Rock but otherwise enjoyed hanging out at the cabin. We arrived after dark, making it challenging to get up the mountain but the directions were very detailed and we made it!

Gorgeous View!

We came to Asheville to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary! This beautiful property is extremely peaceful and the cabin has a cozy living area with a fireplace. Since the temps were in the 40’s in the mornings, we sat by the fire with our morning coffee. We also enjoyed sitting on the back deck overlooking the mountains and the forest. We saw a rabbit, squirrels, and a family of deer 2 days in a row! What a treat! If you are looking to get away and needing some peace and tranquility, I highly recommend staying here. The owners were quick to answer our questions and very hospitable.

Breathtaking View

The fall colors were like nothing I ever saw before. The cabin allowed my family to stay together and spend some quality time together. One of the best places I have visited. If you are looking for tourist things to do, go to Chimney Rock. Lots of different things to see and do.

An excellent mountain cabin home base

This was our sisters and daughters' annual vacation, and it did not disappoint! Candace & Jack's mountain cabin was very clean and beautiful. The amenities were exactly as listed. We enjoyed the living room fireplace AND the outdoor fire table. It was nice having the three bedrooms and bathrooms on separate floors to give some privacy and space. The recommendation to get groceries BEFORE we arrived was spot on. The cabin was an excellent home base to return to after the days' activities of touring the Biltmore Estate, hiking in the Chimney Rock area and wandering around Ashville. Thank you, Candace & Jack!

More than Expected!

Candace, the owner, answered all of my questions immediately before we even left for our stay. The cabin was very clean, well equipped, and very comfortable. All three beds were were comfy. Having master bedrooms with baths on three floors was wonderful. We could have enjoyed the outside amenities more. Absolutely beautiful views but never saw a bear! Close enough to Asheville but we enjoyed Black Mountain more.

Great experience

This cabin was amazing. Super clean. Kitchen had everything! It was even better than we expected. But the view was amazing! Pictures do not do it justice (but I still took a million of them!) Driving up the mountain was intimidating at first but we got used to it very quickly. Had visits from turkeys and their babies and also a visit from a young bear one morning. Thanks to the Millers for providing such a great experience for us! Hopefully we will be back!
