Awesome place! Clean, private, close to Asheville 2nd time staying

My husband and I spent our 2nd anniversary at this home, we came back and stayed again for our 5th anniversary. It is a secluded, private, very clean home with everything you need for a romantic weekend away from everything yet still close enough to Asheville if you want to venture out!

Beautiful Escape!

Pictures don’t do it justice. This beautiful spot in the woods is just what we needed to relax and rejuvenate! Upon arrival, we knew we had found a very special place. Deep in the woods, with no other cabins in eyesight - the only sounds were forest animals and falling rain at night. The decor was beautiful - a great place to spend a few days. Hot tub was a bonus, and we had a great bonfire as well. Loved it!

Wonderful Respite Set Deep in the Mt Pisgah Forest.

I initially had a reservation at the cabin for three days, but extended my stay by two days because I loved the place so much. It’s a beautifully constructed, nicely furnished cabin set in the woods near Mount Pisgah. I love the decorative items in the cabin which reminded me of time spent in the Adirondacks as a child. The kitchen is up-to-date and has all the needed cooking supplies. The highlights of the outdoors include a hot tub, a hammock and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs. The cabin is located close to many enjoyable, hiking trails, including one that is directly connected to the cabin. All in all, it was a wonderful respite for me, and I would highly recommended to anyone looking for the same.

Awesome Experience!!

This was a much needed weekend getaway and it was everything we needed. The location is great - close enough to Asheville and all the places we wanted to visit. It was secluded - and romantic. We relaxed in the hot tub and cooked a couple of meals - well stocked kitchen! We will definitely be back!!

Only thing that we had an issue with was the bed… a little firm for our liking which resulted in some tossing and turning. We Loved that it was pet friendly and quick drive to Asheville.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy Capps

Host profile image
Tammy is from North Carolina and has directed non-profit youth programs and a local AmeriCorps program.

Both Carmen and Tammy work to be good stewards of the land, these mountains and our mother earth: growing our own fruits and vegetables, preserving them for the winter, recycling and composting all garbage,trying to reuse instead of buying new when possible. Efforts are always made to buy local and American made products.

After a great deal of planning and hard work, Carmen and Tammy are excited to invite you for a luxurious, romantic stay in our new cabin!

Why they chose this property

Tammy and her ex-partner, Carmen planned and built this cabin with their own two hands, while continuing to work full-time. It took two years! Starting with the goal of building a cabin with a small carbon footprint and utilizing green building techniques the two women started the project. WOW, what a project! A local builder got us off to an amazing start. With lots and lots of hard work and the loving support of our families the cabin was completed in August, 2012.

Why the property? Tammy spent most of her childhood in this area and fell in love with the beauty and majesty of these mountains in the Pisgah National Forest at an early age. When looking to move back to the area and purchase a home in 1991, she would only look at homes in the Candler/Upper Hominy area believing this to be the most beautiful community in the Asheville area. Twenty years ago Tammy began to clear land and landscape the 4-acre property. The project was worth it, as it is now a mountain oasis beyond belief.

What makes this property unique

The cabin provides all of the modern comforts in a peaceful wooded setting at the base of Mt. Pisgah. The fall and winter views of the mountain through the large glass windows are spectacular. The wooded canopy of oaks, poplar and maple cover the mountain view during the summer months, and provide cool shade for relaxing outside on the deck or patio.

The cabin was built so that passive solar would assist the heating and cooling. In addition, NC made eco panels, rostra block and other sustainable products were used as our building materials making it very well insulated, so it will use very little energy. The tankless water heater and radiant floor heat are also eco-friendly ways to conserve energy while allowing our guests to try out these new 'green' products out for themselves.

The 100 year old oak barnwood posts and inside trim throughout the cabin took several months to pull rusted nails, plane and refinish. The wood was purchased in Candler for $100.

The cabin is centrally located to so many diverse day-trip activities. There is something for everyone here!
