Rustic Cabin, Appalachian Elegance, Rural But Close

As of May 23, 2020, my cabin is available for rent. I will follow CDC guidelines on cleaning, using an EPA-approved disinfectant for COVID-19 between customers. Thank you, George Stanley.

Appalachia at its best. A mountain cabin re-created within the basement (first floor, ground level) of my home for your pleasure. Private entrance(s), covered deck/patio, open deck, great view, very private setting.

The location has an East-West orientation, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Great place to sit, relax, and enjoy your favorite beverage.

The cabin is fully self contained. It has its own kitchen, bath with shower (no tub), and a small living/dining area. One bedroom with a king size bed.

Centrally located between I-40 and I-26, on Busbee Mountain, the property borders the Biltmore Estate and blends in with the Blue Ridge Parkway at an elevation of 3,346 feet. To get a real glimpse of the property, go to https://youtu.be/gd66YZ9MEsE

Well behaved pets are more than welcome!

Beautiful view and very peaceful at this rustic cabin. George is a great host and was helpful in finding the best places to hike. It’s only a short drive to downtown Asheville. I enjoyed my time here.

Every time I leave George’s cabin, I daydream about the next time I can return. The moments spent in Ollie’s (George’s Camp Cat-selor) company and watching Mama Bear with her adorable cubs—at a safe distance, of course—are truly unforgettable. It’s heartwarming to see the beautiful space that George has created, where both wildlife and humans can harmoniously coexist. It’s a remarkable sanctuary that resonates with the soul.

Fabulous Getaway

We felt like we found a gem—a quiet place with incredible views, cozy cabin feel, a kind & generous host. Add to that the amazing opportunity to observe black bears. All while being within a few miles of so many things to do in the Asheville area.

Stay for the view!

This is a wonderful, rustic little place with the most amazing sunrise view! I personally loved the drive to the mountain top. The bonus is the abundant wildlife around the property including a momma bear and her 3 cubs. George is a very kind and gracious host. Will definitely stay here again when in the area!
