Come and relax in a private space nestled in rolling hills, yet only 15 minutes from the many experiences downtown Asheville has to offer. This spot is great for couples, families, or friends looking to enjoy time together. Whether you're wanting to break away from city life, explore the outdoors, check out Asheville's food scene, or just gather with others, this cabin fits the bill. Get cozy under a blanket by the fireplace, enjoy some friendly competition in the game room, or roast some s'mores in the outdoor fire pit. Whatever it is you're looking forward to most, we'd like the chance to host your Asheville adventure.

A fantastic cabin and property only 10-15 minutes from Asheville. Kids loved the property and cozy fireplace. It was a much needed reset from our busy lives. Nothing beats a coffee early on the porch with the quiet sounds of nature.

Our 3-day stay was exceptional. The cabin was comfortable and rustic but with everything you could possibly want or need. The host was very responsive and answered all questions quickly and accurately. The pictures of the cabin and grounds are accurate. Would definitely stay there again. It’s a wonderful experience.

Great Asheville Getaway

This is a wonderful property that is close to Asheville (convenience) yet has the privacy (mostly) of being in the country. The roads do have a lot of traffic, though. The house has everything you’ll need. Great layout and very spacious for a couple (almost too much room!) or a family. The game room was a nice surprise but we spent the majority of our time on the front porch after a day of hiking.

Asheville -Country feel!

The property was beautiful, a large well groomed hilly lot with a small stream, water wheel, fire pit and well lit at night, great ambiance. Overall a very nice accommodation for 6 adults, 2 small dogs. There were 2 full baths, a half bath would have been nice but not mandatory and a roomy front porch with rocking chairs. This house was a log cabin style which we really liked. There was a large downstairs game room which would be great for kids as well as adults. The house was well stocked and overall we had a wonderful time. Two recommendations to take it from great to fantastic would be toppers on the queen beds for more comfort and better lighting downstairs in the living/great room. Due to all of the interior wood and mature trees around the house, it was quite dark even in the daytime. Two or three standup lamps in that room with 3 way bulbs would really help. Otherwise highly recommend this property, it is only 15 minutes from downtown Asheville which made it so convenient for the wedding events we attended.

Leicester Retreat

This property was perfect for our family of four and our pup Sadie. Great location close to everything Asheville had to offer. The cabin was spacious, the downstairs game room was utilized often as was the very large front porch. The cabin came with everything you could possibly want and worked out perfectly as our base to explore the region. Communication was quick and easy, check-in and out was smooth. Our only negative was the neighbors dogs barking late at night but that was a minor inconvenience. Would definitely stay here again next time we visit the area.

New York and Florida family met in the middle at this great cabin! Sweet treats were left for us including a milk bone for the pup! Evenings spent in the great game room and taking the magical fairy lit path to the fire pit. Great main level space to cook, dine, and enjoy the fire and a movie. Wonderful memories made.
